DHS/TSA/PIA-042 TSA OIA Technology Infrastructure Modernization Program
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA)’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis (OIA) Technology Infrastructure Modernization (TIM) Program is an enterprise architecture designed to align TSA security threat assessment (STA) with credentialing activities for individuals. These individuals require access to transportation facilities, infrastructure, assets, Sensitive Security Information (SSI), or related security credentials or clearances. TIM integrates several vetting programs and systems and facilitates STA adjudication, credentialing, and redress processes. TIM accesses the same Personally Identifiable Information (PII) that is already collected for the underlying STA programs. TIM performs credentialing activities utilizing the PII that the underlying programs collect for the STAs. In light of this new information technology framework involving existing PII, TSA is conducted this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) pursuant to the privacy provisions of the E-Government Act of 2002.

DHS/TSA/PIA-043 Travel Protocol Office Program
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) established the Travel Protocol Office (TPO) to support and facilitate the movement of eligible travelers whose presence at a security screening checkpoint may distract other travelers and/or reduce the efficiency of the screening process. TSA plans to collect limited Personally Identifiable Information (PII) on these individuals in order to facilitate airport transit and to conduct security screening operations. The TPO Program applies to commercial airports within the continental United States and its territories. Because this program entails collecting information about members of the public in identifiable form, the E-Government Act of 2002 requires that TSA conduct a Privacy Impact Assessment.

Customer Scheduling and Services
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) allows customers to schedule appointments with an Immigration Service Officer (ISO) to discuss the specifics of their benefit application and petition through the infopass.uscis.gov website and customer service kiosks. This Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) discusses the USCIS systems associated with scheduling and managing appointments and evaluates the privacy risks and mitigation strategies built into the systems. These systems include InfoPass and the Customer Management Information System (CMIS). USCIS is updating and reissuing this PIA, originally published on June 6, 2013, because CMIS may collect, use, and maintain not only Alien Number, but also USCIS Electronic Immigration System Numbers and Receipt Numbers. USCIS also removed references to a planned automated process for an individual to check in for his or her appointment at a USCIS field office through bar code scanners that was not implemented, and updated the system’s Authority to Operate.
