The Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) was developed as part of the Department’s commitment to protection of personal information. It also meets the Management of Information Technology Security requirements obligating departmental major services to undergo a security and privacy assessment at this point. In early 2006 the Bureau introduced the Export Controls Online System (EXCOL) to replace the legacy paper- based permit system that has been in operation since 1988. EXCOL is an interactive and computerized application that allows clients to submit export applications and certificates on-line using Secure Channel. A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) was required because the legacy paper-based Export Controls System was substantially redesigned as an electronic service, and the delivery mechanisms have changed accordingly. The PIA has been completed.
