Abstract
In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to modify, rename, and reissue a current U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) system of records titled, "DHS/ICE-001 Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) System of Records." DHS/ICE uses, collects, and maintains information on nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors, and their dependents, admitted to the United States under an F, M, or J class of admission, and the schools and exchange visitor program sponsors that host these individuals in the United States. DHS/ ICE is updating the name of this system of records; modifying existing and adding new categories of individuals and categories of records; and updating, modifying, and removing routine uses. Additionally, DHS is issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to exempt this system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy Act, elsewhere in the Federal Register. This updated system of records will be included in DHS's inventory of record systems.
