DHS/FEMA/PIA-040(a) Deployment Tracking System
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is conducting the 1:1 Facial Recognition Air Entry Pilot to allow Customs and Border Protection Officers stationed at air ports of entry to use facial recognition technology as a tool to assist them in determining whether an individual presenting themselves with a valid U.S. electronic passport is the same individual photographed in that passport. The operational goals of this pilot are to determine the viability of facial recognition as a technology to assist Customs Border Patrol Officers in identifying possible imposters using U.S. e-passports to enter the United States and determine if facial recognition technology can be incorporated into current CBP entry processing with acceptable impacts to processing time and the traveling public while effectively providing CBP officers with a tool to counter imposters using valid U.S. travel documents. CBP is publishing this Privacy Impact Assessment to evaluate the privacy risks of using facial recognition software at an air port of entry.
The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has procured query-based access to a vendor-owned commercial License Plate Reader (LPR) data service that stores recorded vehicle license plate data from cameras equipped with license plate reader technology. ICE uses LPR data from this service in support of its criminal and administrative law enforcement missions. In March 2015, ICE published a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) announcing ICE’s intention to procure access to a commercial LPR database and describing the controls ICE would put in place to ensure the agency complies with privacy and civil liberties requirements when using the service. This PIA Update explains ICE’s operational use of the service it has procured and describes the privacy and civil liberties protections that have been implemented by the agency and the vendor.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Data Services Branch (DSB) (previously known as Data Framework) is a Departmental program that offers data hosting, data analytics and advanced data services. The DSB provides capabilities to support advanced data architecture, data management and governance processes, and customized data services to DHS Headquarters (HQ) and operational Components to support priority missions and operational management. The DSB is chartered to establish, operate, and maintain an online analytical processing platform called Neptune. Neptune provides controlled access to DHS data in the unclassified environment across the Department. Neptune allows approved users to host, link, analyze, or share data securely and confidently across the Department.
DHS is updating and re-issuing this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) as a result of the DHS Data Framework Act of 2018. This PIA covers the overall approach and use of the program, and consolidates DHS/ALL/PIA-046 DHS Data Framework and subsequent updates; DHS/ALL/PIA-046-1 Neptune and subsequent updates; DHS/ALL/PIA-046-2 Common Entity Index Prototype and subsequent updates; and DHS/ALL/PIA-046-3 Cerberus and subsequent updates. As DHS further develops the DSB, this PIA and its Appendices will be updated.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administers and manages grants to enhance the level of preparedness of its customers and stakeholders, and the public’s ability to prevent, mitigate, respond to and recover from all hazards. FEMA determines awards for both disaster and non-disaster grants, and manages the grant lifecycle for all grantees, as well as internal and external partners, and ensures critical and measurable results. FEMA updated and republished this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) because FEMA collects personally identifiable information (PII) from grant applicants as part of the grant application process.
