149 / Thursday, August 4, 2005 / Notices
See 69 FR 2608 (Jan. 16, 2004)
(appended to privacy impact
assessment). US–VISIT has
implemented a process to facilitate the
amendment or correction by individuals
of data that are not accurate, relevant,
timely, or complete. The full US–VISIT
redress policy, including request form,
is available at http://www.dhs.gov/us-
visit. The DHS Privacy Office continues
to exercise oversight of US–VISIT to
ensure that the information collected
and stored in IDENT and other systems
associated with US–VISIT is being
properly protected under the privacy
laws and guidance. US–VISIT also has
a program-dedicated Privacy Officer to
handle specific inquiries and to provide
additional oversight of the program. A
full Privacy Impact Assessment was
published in the Federal Register on
July 7, 2005, at 70 FR 39300.
Finally, DHS will continue to
maintain secure computer systems that
will ensure that the confidentiality of an
individual’s personal information is
maintained. In doing so, DHS and its
information technology personnel will
comply with all laws and regulations
applicable to government systems, such
as the Federal Information Security
Management Act of 2002, Title X, Public
Law 107–296, 116 Stat. 2259–2273
(November 25, 2002) (codified in
scattered sections of titles 6, 10, 15, 40,
and 44 U.S.C.); Information
Management Technology Reform Act
(Clinger-Cohen Act), 40 U.S.C. 11101 et
seq.); Computer Security Act of 1987, 40
U.S.C. 1441 et seq. (as amended);
Government Paperwork Elimination
Act, 44 U.S.C. 101, 3504; and Electronic
Freedom of Information Act of 1996, 5
U.S.C. 552.
Persons with further questions about
how the US–VISIT program is applying
the Privacy Act to enrollees may contact
the US–VISIT Privacy Officer, Mr. Steve
Yonkers, by the following means: by

and Transportation Security,
Department of Homeland Security, 245

H. Schedule and Locations of Proof of
Concept
DHS will begin issuing RFID
embedded Forms I–94 or Forms I–94W
on or around August 4, 2005, at the
following land border ports-of-entry
crossing locations: Pacific Highway,
Washington, Peace Arch, Washington,
Alexandria Bay, New York, Nogales
East, Arizona, Mariposa-Nogales West,
Arizona.
VerDate jul<14>2003 16:23 Aug 03, 2005 Jkt 205001
As already noted, DHS will conduct
outreach in each of the above-noted
locations. This outreach will provide
those travelers issued an automatic
identification or RFID tag, and
especially those whose biometrics are
collected at any of the above noted
crossing locations, complete
information on the proof of concept
being conducted, on the RFID-enabled
Form I–94 or Form I–94W that will be
issued to travelers, and whether there
will be the need for travelers to take any
type of affirmative action to make sure
that the automatic identification tag is
read when the traveler next exits the
United States at a proof of concept
crossing location. This RFID test
program will continue for
approximately one year.
I. Proof of Concept Evaluation
DHS notes that none of the radio
frequency technology protocols outlined
in this preamble will be installed at the
busiest land border ports-of-entry until
the proof of concept programs are
implemented during the late summer
and fall of 2005 and evaluated for
accuracy and effectiveness. While DHS
has experience with using radio
frequency technology, the proof of
concept will be the first instance where
DHS is attempting to automatically
document the exits of select
nonimmigrant travelers at land border
ports-of-entry. DHS will also be working
with technical experts to determine if
any new technologies—technologies
other than those based on radio
frequency—are able to match or better
the results DHS expects to receive
during the proof of concept.
DHS anticipates that the automatic
identification proof of concept will
continue for approximately one year.
This time period will allow DHS to
concurrently analyze the results of the
proof of concept being conducted at the
above noted locations. Due to the
significant cost associated with
implementing exit control at all United
States land border port-of-entry
crossings, a full and comprehensive
analysis of the proof of concept testing
must be undertaken prior to any
nationwide installation of radio
frequency technology equipment. The
results of this analysis will be closely
examined to see if radio frequency-
based technology does have the ability
to increase the efficiency and accuracy
of documenting the exit and any
subsequent reentry of travelers at land
border ports-of-entry. A staggered,
incremental installation approach is
consistent with the overall strategy of
the US–VISIT program.

IV. Solicitation of Public Comment
As noted in previously published US–
VISIT rulemaking actions, DHS places a
great deal of importance on input from
the public on the performance and
implementation of the US–VISIT
program. While DHS is not under the
obligation to solicit public comments in
response to this Notice, DHS is
interested in whether the public has any
suggestions for automated methods to
document the exit of travelers from the
United States other than those identified
in this Notice. Accordingly, DHS is
soliciting comments from the public on
all aspects of the issues outlined in this
Notice.
The comment filing process will use
the standard procedure and instructions
for filing are included at the beginning
of this Notice. The comment period will
be open until October 3, 2005.
Dated: August 1, 2005.
