SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
Privacy Office is holding a public workshop to explore the compliance
and operational frameworks of privacy, including training on drafting
Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) and Privacy Threshold Analyses
(PTAs).
The program will be organized into two sessions, a morning and an
afternoon session. The morning session will include two discussion
panels. The first panel will cover the compliance and operational
frameworks required to integrate privacy protections into any
organization. The second panel will cover compliance with Federal
requirements for privacy, including System of Records Notices, PIAs,
Certification & Accreditation under the Federal Information Security
Management Act, and the Office of Management and Budget annual budget
process (OMB-300). In addition to the panel discussions, time will be
allotted during the workshop for questions and comments from the
audience.
The afternoon session will be a tutorial on how to write PIAs and
PTAs. A case study will be used to illustrate a step-by-step approach
to researching, preparing, and writing these documents.
The workshop is open to the public and there is no fee for
attendance. For general security purposes, the GSA Regional
Headquarters requires that all attendees show a valid form of photo
identification, such as a driver's license, to enter the building.
The DHS Privacy Office has developed PIA guidance and templates for
PIAs and PTAs for DHS programs. The guidance and templates are posted
on our Web site at http://www.dhs.gov/privacy. In addition, the Privacy
Office will post information about the workshop, including a detailed
agenda, on the Web site prior to the event. A transcript of the
workshop will be posted shortly after the workshop.
