This memorandum calls for the designation of fulltime component privacy officers at CBP. ICE. FEMA. the Bureau of Citizen and Immigration Services. the Office of Intelligence and Analysis. and the Science and Technology Directorate. Both TSA. USVISIT. and the Bureau of Citizen and Immigration Services had their own privacy officials for some time. H.R. 5170 takes the additional step of statutorily mandating component privacy officials. The approach this bill takes certainly has much merit. though I hope that we can address some of the Departments concerns about the impacts the bills mandates may have on the ability of the next Secretary to manage the administration of the Department as the legislative process moves on.
