Authority: Sec. 222 Pub. L. 110-314, 15 U.S.C. 2066(a), the
Consumer Product Safety Act.
SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
CPSC-33, International Trade Data System Risk Assessment
Methodology System (ITDS/RAM).
SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:
Not classified.
SYSTEM LOCATION:
Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 East West Highway,
Bethesda, MD 20814.
SYSTEM MANAGER(S):
Director, Office of Import Surveillance, Consumer Product Safety
Commission, 4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814.
PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM:
The CPSC uses the ITDS/RAM to monitor and request examination for
import shipments that are potentially in violation of safety standards
enforced by the Commission or potentially defective as a part of a
product group that has been designated by the Commission as having
properties that are hazardous. Personally identifiable information
(PII)
[[Page 2930]]
could be used for monitoring and requesting exams, but only between
government agencies (CPSC and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP)).
CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
Individuals and businesses that import materials in the United
States. Information on individuals is stored only when they register as
the entity in the transaction; usually, this is a business entity with
an associated importer identification number and business address.
CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
1. The system contains names, Social Security numbers, and
addresses associated with individuals and businesses importing
materials into the United States. For individuals and small businesses
where an individual provides personal information, their name and
address are maintained.
2. Importation transactions as reported by U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) for all product areas under jurisdiction at entry
summary filing and for product areas of specific concern for hazard
monitoring and enforcement programs at entry filing (Cargo).
RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES:
Personally identifiable information (PII) is provided and updated
on a periodic basis by CBP.
ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES
OF USERS AND PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C.
552a(b) of the Privacy Act, these records or information contained
therein may specifically be disclosed outside CPSC as a routine use
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as follows:
1. To the U.S. Department of Justice when related to litigation or
anticipated litigation. To the appropriate Federal enforcement agency/
agencies when there is an indication of a potential violation of a
statute or regulation or a predetermined hazard in connection with an
importation.
2. Disclosure may be made to appropriate agencies, entities, and
persons when (1) the CPSC suspects or has confirmed that the security
or confidentiality of information in the system of records has been
compromised; (2) the CPSC has determined that as a result of suspected
or confirmed compromise, there is a risk of harm to the security or
integrity of this system, or other systems or programs (whether
maintained by the CPSC or another agency or entity), that rely upon the
compromised information; and (3) the disclosure made to such agencies,
entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection
with the CPSC's efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed
compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF RECORDS:
The information in the ITDS/RAM includes electronic records, files,
and data that are stored in the Commission's computer network
databases.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF RECORDS:
Computer records are indexed by, and retrievable by, importer
identification number (which may include Social Security number),
names, and addresses, and may permit retrieval by names elsewhere in
documents.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:
Records are currently retained indefinitely pending schedule
approval by the National Archives and Records Administration.
ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:
Access to electronic files, which are housed in the Commission's
computer network databases, is restricted to authorized supervisors and
staff and to designated Information Technology (IT) staff who maintain
the Commission's computer network. CPSC project contractors may be
granted access with appropriate clearance and only in support of the
performance of the system. The CPSC computer network databases are
protected by security protocols, which include controlled access,
passwords, and other security features. Information resident on the
database servers is backed-up routinely onto a hard disk array and
computer-based media. Back-up data is stored on-site and at a secured,
off-site location. Hard-copy records are maintained in secured file
cabinets.
RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
Assistant General Counsel, Office of the General Counsel, Division
of Information Access, Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 East
West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814.
CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:
Assistant General Counsel, Office of the General Counsel, Division
