“I will not. Filing a comment requesting that CBP take a second look at this program. CBP has not re-issued a new notice, and the questions that I and many others have about ATS have not yet been answered. Until a new notice is released, I consider this program and this motion to recommit premature and the program itself highly questionable. The amount of information collected by ATS and the fact that the information remains in the system for up to 40 years is reason enough to warrant a closer look. The motion to recommit ignores the privacy act notice process that is under way, and I urge my colleagues to oppose it.”
