SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of
Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, proposes to add a new system of records to the Department's inventory, entitled
Background Check Service. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services, Office of Field Operations operates the Background Check
Service. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services conducts background
checks on petitioners and applicants who are seeking immigration
related benefits. To facilitate the background check process and to
improve efficiency, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services developed
the Background Check Service as a centralized repository that contains
the consolidated data on all background check requests and results. The
Background Check Service allows authorized U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services representatives to request background checks and
access the data stored in the Background Check Service during the
adjudication process in order to facilitate informed decision-making.
DATES: The established system of records will be effective January 3,
2007 unless comments are received that result in a contrary
determination.
