Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 173 / Friday, September 10, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
Finally, in its discretion, CBP will not assert any exemptions with regard to accessing or amending an individuals application data in a trusted or registered traveler program or accessing their final membership determination in the trusted or registered traveler programs.
Exemptions from these particular subsections are justified, on a case-by-case basis to be determined at the time a request is made, for the following reasons:
a From subsection c3 and 4
Accounting for Disclosures because release of the accounting of disclosures could alert the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory violation to the existence of that investigation and reveal investigative interest on the part of DHS as well as the recipient agency.
Disclosure of the accounting would therefore present a serious impediment to law enforcement efforts and/or efforts to preserve national security. Disclosure of the accounting would also permit the individual who is the subject of a record to impede the investigation, to tamper with witnesses or evidence, and to avoid detection or apprehension, which would undermine the entire investigative process. When an investigation has been completed, information on disclosures made may continue to be exempted if the fact that an investigation occurred remains sensitive after completion.
b From subsection d Access and Amendment to Records because access to certain records contained in this system of records could inform the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory violation to the existence of that investigation and reveal investigative interest on the part of DHS or another agency. Access to certain records could also permit the individual who is the subject of a record to impede the investigation, to tamper with witnesses or evidence, and to avoid detection or apprehension. Amendment of certain records could interfere with ongoing investigations and law enforcement activities. Further, permitting amendment to counterintelligence records after an investigation has been completed would impose an unmanageable administrative burden. In addition, permitting access and amendment to such information could disclose security-sensitive information that could be detrimental to homeland security.
c From subsection e1 Relevancy and Necessity of Information because in the course of investigations into potential violations of federal law, the accuracy of information obtained or introduced occasionally may be unclear, or the information may not be strictly relevant or necessary to a specific investigation. In the interests of effective law enforcement, it is appropriate to retain all information that may aid in establishing patterns of unlawful activity.
d From subsection e2 Collection of Information from Individuals because requiring that information be collected from the subject of an investigation would alert the subject to the nature or existence of the investigation, thereby interfering with that

investigation and related law enforcement activities.
e From subsection e3 Notice to Subjects because providing such detailed information could impede law enforcement by compromising the existence of a confidential investigation or reveal the identity of witnesses or confidential informants.
f From subsections e4G, e4H, and e4I Agency Requirements and f Agency Rules, because portions of this system are exempt from the individual access provisions of subsection d for the reasons noted above, and therefore DHS is not required to establish requirements, rules, or procedures with respect to such access.
Providing notice to individuals with respect to existence of records pertaining to them in the system of records or otherwise setting up procedures pursuant to which individuals may access and view records pertaining to themselves in the system would undermine investigative efforts and reveal the identities of witnesses, and potential witnesses, and confidential informants.
g From subsection e5 Collection of Information because with the collection of information for law enforcement purposes, it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete.
h From subsection e8 Notice on Individuals because compliance would interfere with DHSs ability to obtain, serve, and issue subpoenas, warrants, and other law enforcement mechanisms that may be filed under seal and could result in disclosure of investigative techniques, procedures, and evidence.
i From subsection g1 Civil Remedies to the extent that the system is exempt from other specific subsections of the Privacy Act.
