Investigations include investigations of alleged violations of the statutes or regulations administered by the Commission, freight forwarder application inquiries, freight forwarder application checks, freight forwarder compliance checks, service contract audits, common carrier audits, passenger vessel audits, special inquiries, undeveloped leads, intelligence activities, and other matters authorized by the Bureau of Enforcement.
</p><p>The Records Tracking System includes all files and records of the Bureau, wherever located. The system also includes reports or other information from other government agencies, shipping and commercial records, investigative work product, notes of interviews, documents obtained from any source, schedules of data, investigative plans and directives, disclosures, settlement agreements, and any other records prepared in conjunction with a case including information which tends to explain, interpret, or substantiate any of the above. The system also includes indices of these records, tracking systems, and listings of information otherwise included within the system.
</p><p>The Records Tracking System contains information in electronic and paper media. Information within the system may be stored in files or data bases by specific subject or in general groupings. The information remains within the system through analysis, research, corroboration, field investigation, reporting, and referral within the Commission or to another government agency. Information remains within the system whether a case is open or closed or the matter becomes inactive. Information also remains within the system when records are retired to storage or are otherwise purged.
