DHS/TSA/PIA-040 - Port Authority of New York/New Jersey Secure Worker Access Consortium Vetting Services (SWAC)

November 14, 2012. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will conduct terrorism watch list checks of workers at Port Authority of New York/New Jersey (PANYNJ) facilities and job sites, including critical infrastructure such as airports, marine ports, bus terminals, rail transit facilities, bridges, tunnels, and real estate such as the World Trade Center memorial site. TSA will also conduct terrorism watch list checks of individuals identified by PANYNJ as requiring such checks for access to sensitive information, and for workers at facilities and job sites of PANYNJ regional partners. Results of the checks will not be reported to PANYNJ, but instead will be forwarded to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Terrorist Screening Center (TSC). This Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is conducted pursuant to the E-Government Act of 2002 because personally identifiable information (PII) will be collected for the conduct of terrorism watch list checks of workers at PANYNJ facilities and job sites.
