DHS/TSA/PIA-014(a) – Crew Member Self Defense Training Program
The Transportation Security Administration's Crew Member Self-Defense Training (CMSDT) Program is a voluntary self-defense training course for U.S. commercial and cargo air carrier crew members. The program trains crew members on how to defend the flight deck against acts of criminal violence or air piracy. TSA previously published a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) on this program on February 6, 2008. TSA has collected CMSDT Program information principally through completion of an electronic registration form hosted on the TSA.gov website. At times, information was collected through paper forms. TSA has updated the PIA to reflect that it will: (1) collect information from crew members solely through electronic means; and (2) conduct personnel security suitability checks on American Association of Community College Site Coordinators so that they may be granted access to an existing secure TSA web-based system in order to process registrations on behalf of crew members.

GeoSpace
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Office of Security and Integrity (OSI) developed GeoSpace to handle the tracking, receipt, and response to incidents that individuals report as Significant Incident Reports (SIR) in and around USCIS buildings and facilities. GeoSpace provides incident management for OSI in geospatial terms, which allows for the timely reporting of critical incidents, activities, and events to USCIS leadership and to the DHS National Operations Center. USCIS conducted this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) because GeoSpace collects, uses, and disseminates personally identifiable information (PII).

DHS/CBP/PIA-001 Advance Passenger Information System (APIS)
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has collected mandatory and voluntary advance passenger information (API) from air, rail, bus, and sea carriers for over a decade. CBP uses API to identify high-risk passengers and crew members who may pose a risk to border, aviation, or public security; may be a terrorist or suspected terrorist or affiliated with or suspected of being affiliated with terrorists; may be inadmissible; may be a person of interest; may otherwise be engaged in activity in violation of U.S. law; or may be the subject of wants or warrants. CBP is publishing this update to the longstanding Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) series to: 1) expand the collection and receipt of voluntary API in the air, land, and sea environments, including from bridge and ferry operators; 2) document the collection of expanded biographic information from carriers; and, 3) update the data retention period to 13 months.
