DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Office of the Secretary
6 CFR Part 5
Privacy Act of 1974
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Department of Homeland Security.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS or Department) is
updating and clarifying its regulations related to the procedures for
receiving Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Privacy Act of 1974
requests.
DATES: This final rule is effective March 28, 2024.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mason Clutter, Chief Privacy Officer,
Privacy Office, Department of Homeland Security, Washington, DC 20528,
(202) 343-1717, <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#e4b4968d9285879da48c95ca808c97ca838b92"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="4b1b39223d2a28320b233a652f2338652c243d">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Specifically, DHS is updating Title 6, part
5, subsections 5.3(a)(2), 5.4(c), 5.21(a)(2), 5.21(a)(6), 5.22(c), and
Appendix A to part 5.
I. Background
The Secretary of Homeland Security has authority under 5 U.S.C.
301, 552, and 552a, and 6 U.S.C. 112(e) to issue FOIA and Privacy Act
regulations. That authority has been delegated to the Chief Privacy
Officer of the Department pursuant to 6 U.S.C. 142 and DHS Del. No.
13001, Rev. 01 (June 2, 2020). The Department last updated its
regulations under the FOIA and Privacy Act, 6 CFR part 5 on November
16, 2022 (87 FR 68599).
II. Discussion of Final Rule
This rule provides clarifying and procedural updates to Title 6,
part 5, paragraphs 5.3(a)(2) and 5.21(a)(6), which provides
instructions to requesters on how and where to make FOIA and Privacy
Act (and Judicial Redress Act (JRA) if applicable) requests for DHS
records. Specifically, DHS is adding a reference to Appendix A to part
5 for requesters to know when and how to submit a request to DHS
component FOIA Offices. Furthermore, DHS is providing additional
instructions in those sections on how the DHS Privacy Office can assist
a requester if the requester does not know which component may have
responsive records.
In addition, DHS is updating Title 6, part 5, paragraphs 5.3(a)(2),
5.21(a)(2), 5.21(a)(6) by replacing the URL <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/dhs-foia-request-submission-form">https://www.dhs.gov/dhs-foia-request-submission-form</a> with the following URL <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/foia">https://www.dhs.gov/foia</a>. DHS is updating Appendix A to part 5 ``FOIA/Privacy
Act Offices of the Department of Homeland Security,'' by replacing the
electronic URL where individuals can submit requests by way of
instructions from DHS's FOIA website from <a href="https://foiarequest.dhs.gov/">https://foiarequest.dhs.gov/</a>
to <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/foia">https://www.dhs.gov/foia</a>.
As background, the DHS Headquarters Privacy Office maintains the
contract for a FOIA processing solution used by most DHS component FOIA
Offices. The DHS Headquarters Privacy Office updated its FOIA
processing solution in 2023 and is now utilizing new technology and
software services in order to receive electronic submission via a new
FOIA online portal. This solution includes several features that will
lessen the administrative burden associated with FOIA and provide DHS
processors access to powerful information processing tools that will
make it significantly easier to locate and efficiently process records.
As such, DHS has decided to change the URL in those subsections and the
appendix to link to the new portal. Further, for clarity, a
parenthetical ``(or JRA if applicable)'' was added in Section II of
Appendix A to part 5 to clarify that such requests, in addition to FOIA
and Privacy Act requests, may be made to those DHS components listed in
that section.
In 6 CFR 5.4(c), DHS is changing the title of this paragraph to
``Forwarding misdirected requests.'' In addition, DHS is modifying
subsection 5.4(c) to clarify when and how a misdirected request should
be forwarded. A request is not a misdirected request if the receiving
DHS component may maintain records responsive to any portion of the
request. This is true even if the request may cover records that are
maintained by a different DHS component. Under such circumstances, the
receiving DHS component is under no obligation to refer the request to
a different DHS component or other Federal agency responsible for
maintaining other records identified in the request. If another agency
should have received the request, the DHS component can, but is not
required, to advise the requester to send their request to that other
agency.
Finally, DHS is revising 6 CFR 5.22(c) to modify the title of
paragraph 5.22(c) and modify the subsection to include and clarify that
any misdirected Privacy Act or Judicial Redress Act (JRA) requests must
be forwarded under the same procedures of 6 CFR 5.4(c).
III. Regulatory History
DHS did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking for this rule.
Under Title 5 of the United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 553(b)(A),
this final rule is exempt from notice and public comment rulemaking
requirements because the change involves rules of agency organization,
procedure, or practice. In addition, under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), an
agency may waive the notice and comment requirements if it finds, for
good cause, that notice and comment is impracticable, unnecessary, or
contrary to the public interest. DHS finds that notice and comment is
unnecessary under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) because the procedures for
receiving FOIA and Privacy Act requests is an agency procedural update
that will have no substantive effect on the public. For the same
reasons, DHS finds that good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for
making this final rule effective immediately upon publication.
IV. Regulatory Analyses
Executive Orders 12866, 13563 and 14094--Regulatory Review
Executive Orders 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review), as amended
by Executive Order 14094 (Modernizing Regulatory Review), and 13563
(Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review) direct agencies to assess
the costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic,
[[Page 14370]]
environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts,
and equity). Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of
quantifying costs and benefits, reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and
promoting flexibility.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has not designated this
rule a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of Executive
Order 12866, as amended by Executive Order 14094. Accordingly, OMB has
not reviewed this regulatory action.
This rule will not impose any additional costs on the public or the
government. This rule provides an updated URL for requesters to submit
a FOIA request and DHS is providing additional instructions how the DHS
Privacy Office can assist a requester if the requester does not know
which component may have responsive records. DHS believes the updates
in these regulations will allow DHS to more efficiently process FOIA
requests.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
This rule will not result in the expenditure by state, local, and
tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of
$100,000,000 or more in any one year, and it will not significantly or
uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, no written statement was
deemed necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform
Act of 1995.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, and
section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness
Act of 1996, 5 U.S.C. 601 note, agencies must consider the impact of
their rulemakings on ``small entities'' (small businesses, small
organizations, and local governments). The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
The RFA's regulatory flexibility analysis requirements apply only to
those rules for which an agency is required to publish a general notice
of proposed rulemaking pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b) or any other law.
See 5 U.S.C. 604(a). DHS did not issue a notice of proposed rulemaking
for this action. Therefore, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not
required for this rule.
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996
This rule is not a major rule as defined by section 251 of the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (as
amended), 5 U.S.C. 804(2). The Office of Management and Budget's Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs has not found that this rule is
likely to result in an annual effect on the economy of $100,000,000 or
more; a major increase in costs or prices; or significant adverse
effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity,
innovation, or on the ability of United States-based companies to
compete with foreign-based companies in domestic and export markets.
National Environmental Policy Act
DHS reviews proposed actions to determine whether the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) applies to them and, if so, what degree
of analysis is required. DHS Directive 023-01 Rev. 01 (Directive) and
Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01 Rev. 01 (Instruction Manual) establish
the procedures that DHS and its components use to comply with NEPA and
the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations for implementing
NEPA, 40 CFR parts 1500 through 1508.
The CEQ regulations require Federal agencies to establish, with CEQ
review and concurrence, categories of actions (``categorical
exclusions'') which experience has shown do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment and,
therefore, do not require an Environmental Assessment (EA) or
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). 40 CFR 1501.4(a); 1507.3(c)(8).
Under DHS NEPA implementing procedures, for an action to be
categorically excluded, it must satisfy each of the following three
conditions: (1) the entire action clearly fits within one or more of
the categorical exclusions; (2) the action is not a piece of a larger
action; and (3) no extraordinary circumstances exist that create the
potential for a significant environmental effect. Instruction Manual
section V.B(2)(a)-(c).
As discussed above, this rule makes clarifying and procedural
updates to CFR Title 6, part 5, paragraphs 5.3(a)(2), 5.4(c),
5.21(a)(6), and 5.22(a) regarding requests for DHS records and,
therefore, clearly fits within categorical exclusion A3(a):
``Promulgation of rules . . . of a strictly administrative or
procedural nature.'' Instruction Manual, Appendix A, Table 1.
Furthermore, this rule is not part of a larger action and presents no
extraordinary circumstances creating the potential for significant
environmental impacts. Therefore, this rule is categorically excluded
from further NEPA review and documentation.
List of Subjects in 6 CFR Part 5

2. Revise Sec. 5.3(a)(2) to read as follows:
Sec. 5.3 Requirements for making requests.
(a) * * *
(2) A requester may send their request to the Privacy Office, U.S.
Department of Homeland Security, 2707 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. SE,
STOP-0655, or via the internet at <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/foia">https://www.dhs.gov/foia</a>, or via fax
to (202) 343-4011, for any of the Headquarters Offices of the
Department of Homeland Security listed in Appendix A to Subpart 5. In
addition, if a requester does not know which DHS component may maintain
responsive records to a request, the requester may explicitly ask for
assistance from the DHS Privacy Office with identifying the proper
component that most likely maintains any potential responsive records.
Upon a request for assistance and based on information provided in the
FOIA request and by the requester, the Privacy Office will forward the
request to the DHS component(s) that it determines to be most likely,
as of the date of the request for information, to maintain the records
that are sought. The Privacy Office will notify the requester that it
is forwarding the request, including identifying the component(s) where
the request has been sent, provide the FOIA Public Liaison contact
information for the respective component(s), and provide administrative
appeal rights in the response. If the requester does not agree with the
Privacy Office's determination regarding which components would likely
have records responsive to the
[[Page 14371]]
request, the requester must submit a timely appeal of the Privacy
Office's determination. Although these are not to be considered
misdirected requests, the recipient DHS component shall be granted the
same number of days to respond as permitted by 6 CFR 5.4(c) and 5.5(a).

(c) Forwarding misdirected requests. Where a component's FOIA
office determines that a request was misdirected within DHS, the
receiving component's FOIA office, within 10 working days, shall route
the request to the FOIA office of the proper component(s) for
processing. Once the misdirected request has been forwarded and
received by the appropriate DHS component, the 20-working day-time
period to respond to the request commences, but in any event not later
than 10 days after the request is first received by any DHS component
that is designated in the DHS regulations to receive FOIA requests. A
request is not a misdirected request if the receiving DHS component may
maintain records responsive to any portion of the request. In other
words, the receiving DHS component is not obligated to forward to other
DHS components that may maintain responsive records unless those other
DHS components are explicitly listed in the request.

Homeland Security record about that individual covered by a DHS-wide or
component system of records notice (SORN) by writing directly to the
Department component that maintains the record at the address listed in
appendix A to this part or via the internet at <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/foia">https://www.dhs.gov/foia</a>. A description of all DHS-wide and component SORNs may be found

King Jr. Ave. SE, Washington, DC 20528-0655, or via the internet at
<a href="https://www.dhs.gov/foia">https://www.dhs.gov/foia</a>, or via fax to (202) 343-4011 for any of the
Headquarters Offices of the Department of Homeland Security listed
Appendix A to Subpart 5. In addition, if a requester does not know
which DHS component may maintain responsive records to a request, the
requester may explicitly ask for assistance from the DHS Privacy Office
with identifying the proper component that most likely maintains any
potential responsive records citing this section of the regulations.
Upon a request for assistance and based on information provided in the
FOIA request and by the requester, the Privacy Office will forward the
request to the DHS component(s) that it determines to be most likely,
as of the date of the request for information, to maintain the records
that are sought. The Privacy Office will notify the requester that it
is forwarding the request, including identifying the component(s) where
the request has been sent, provide the FOIA Public Liaison contact
information for the respective component(s), and provide administrative
appeal rights in the response. If the requester does not agree with the
Privacy Office's determination regarding which components would likely
have records responsive to the request, the requester must submit a
timely appeal of the Privacy Office's determination. For the quickest
possible handling, the requester should mark both the request letter
and the envelope ``Privacy Act Request'' or ``Judicial Redress Act
Request.''

pertain to law enforcement information, as specified in Sec.
5.4(d)(2), and classified information, as specified in Sec. 5.4(d)(2)
and (e). Further, whenever a request is made for access to a record
containing information that has been classified by or may be
appropriate for classification by another component or agency under any
relevant Executive order concerning the classification of records, the
receiving component will refer to Sec. 5.24 for processing.
