Additionally, this notice includes non-substantive changes to simplify the formatting and text of the previously published notice. All exemptions listed for this system in the existing system of records notice will continue to be applicable for this updated notice, as currently implemented in 6 CFR part 5, Appendix C. This updated system will be included in DHS's inventory of record systems.
