following Privacy Act system of records notice, Department of Homeland
Security/United States Citizenship and Immigration Services--013 E-
Verify Self Check (76 FR 9034, February 16, 2011), into the existing
Department of Homeland Security system of records notices titled
Department of Homeland Security/ALL-037 E-Authentication Records System
of Records (79 FR 46857, August 11, 2014) and Department of Homeland
Security/United States Citizenship and Immigration Services--011 E-
Verify Program System of Records (79 FR 46852, August 11, 2014). As a
result of this consolidation, DHS is removing DHS/USCIS-013 from its
inventory of systems of records.
DATES: These changes will take effect on November 24, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen L. Neuman (202-343-1717), Chief
Privacy Officer, Department of Homeland Security, Washington, DC 20528.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy
Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and as part of its ongoing integration and
management efforts, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is
consolidating the system of records notice, Department of Homeland
Security/United States Citizenship and Immigration Services--013 E-
Verify Self Check (76 FR 9034, February 16, 2011), into two existing
system of records notices.
DHS will continue to collect and maintain records regarding E-
Verify Self Check and will rely upon the following system of records
notices titled DHS/ALL-037 E-Authentication Records System of Records
(79 FR 46857, August 11, 2014) and DHS/USCIS-011 E-Verify Program
System of Records (79 FR 46852, August 11, 2014). DHS is not requesting
comment on this notice because the E-Authentication Records and E-
Verify Program System of Records
[[Page 63635]]
notices were open to comment and provided notice of this consolidation.
DHS received no comments regarding the consolidation.
There are six additional routine uses applicable to this system as
a result of this consolidation. Through the E-Authentication System of
Records, DHS may share information to relying parties approved by the
National Information Exchange Federation Trust Framework Provider for
the purpose of providing federated access to systems when the user has
been provided with appropriate notice and the opportunity to consent.
Information may also be shared with international, federal, state and
local, tribal, private or corporate entities for the purpose of the
regular exchange of business contact information in order to facilitate
collaboration for official business.
By the consolidation of the E-Verify Self Check System of Records
into the E-Verify Program System of records, the following routine uses
may apply to E-Verify Self Check: (1) To employers participating in the
E-Verify program to verify the employment eligibility of their
employees working in the United States; (2) to the American Association
of Motor Vehicle Administrators Network and participating Motor Vehicle
Agencies for the purpose of validating information for a driver's
license, permit, or identification card issued by the Motor Vehicle
Agency of states or jurisdictions who have signed a Memorandum of
Agreement with DHS under the RIDE program; and (3) to the Department of
Justice (DOJ) to responding to matters within the DOJ's jurisdiction of
the E-Verify program, especially with respect to discrimination.
Both the E-Verify and E-Authentication Systems of Records permit
sharing information with the news media or public, with the approval of
the Chief Privacy Officer in consultation with counsel, when there
exists a legitimate public interest in the disclosure of the
information, when disclosure is necessary to preserve confidence in the
integrity of DHS, or when disclosure is necessary to demonstrate the
accountability of DHS's officers, employees, or individuals covered by
the system, except to the extent the Chief Privacy Officer determines
that release of the specific information in the context of a particular
case would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
Consolidating and retiring this notice will promote the overall
streamlining and management of DHS Privacy Act record systems.
Dated: October 2, 2014.

Chief Privacy Officer, Department of Homeland Security.
