DHS’ New Asylum Information and Pre-Screening System of Records
January 6, 2010 – 10:10 am
Pursuant to Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is planning to add a new system of records to its Security’s inventory, entitled United States Citizenship and Immigration Services-010 Asylum Information and Pre-Screening System of Records. This new system is composed of two existing legacy IT systems: The Refugees, Asylum and Parole System and Asylum Pre-Screening System. These systems are used to capture information pertaining to asylum applications, credible fear and reasonable fear screening processes, and applications for benefits provided by Section 203 of the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act.
The DHS seeks comments on the new system of records on or before February 4, 2010 and the new system will be effective on the same day.
