CBP Notice of Proposed Modification of CIRS System of Records
CBP announced a proposed modification and reissuance of the “DHS/CBP–024 CBP Intelligence Records System” (CIRS) system of records. In particular, CBP is updating and reissuing this existing system of records to provide additional transparency regarding the publicly available landowner records CBP receives from state and local jurisdictions or may access via a commercial data provider. CBP is clarifying that it receives publicly available landowner information from local jurisdictions and commercial providers. CBP is also clarifying that individuals covered by the system may include individuals not implicated in activities in violation of laws enforced or administered by CBP but with pertinent knowledge of some circumstance of a case or record subject. Additionally, this notice includes non-substantive changes to simplify the formatting and text of the previously published notice. The modified system will be effective Jan. 13, 2021, when comments are also due.
