<p><b>Statement of Routine Uses for All Systems of Records
</b></p>
<p><i>Routine Uses of Records Maintained in the System, Including Categories of Users and the
Purposes of Such Uses:
</i></p>
<p>Records may be disclosed to appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when
</p><p>(1) The Department suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information
in the system of records has been compromised;
</p><p>(2) The Department has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there
is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the
security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs (whether maintained by the
Department or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; and
</p><p>(3) The disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist
in connection with the Department’s efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and
prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.</p>

<p><b>Blanket Routine Uses (BRU) Applicable to More Than One FBI Privacy Act System of Records.
</b></p><p><i>APPLICABILITY:
</i></p><p>The following routine uses describe those types of disclosures which are common to more than one
FBI Privacy Act system of records and which the FBI is establishing as "blanket"  routine uses.
Unless this or other published notice expressly provides otherwise, these blanket routine uses shall
apply, without need of further implementation, to every existing FBI Privacy Act system of records
and to all FBI systems of records created or modified hereafter. These blanket routine uses
supplement but do not replace any routine uses that are separately published in the notices of
individual record systems to which the blanket routine uses apply.
</p><p>System records may be disclosed to the following persons or entities under the circumstances
or for the purposes described below, to the extent such disclosures are compatible with the purpose
for which the information was collected. (These routine uses are not meant to be mutually exclusive
and may overlap in some cases.)
</p><p>BRU-1. Violations of Law, Regulation, Rule, Order, or Contract. If any system record, on
its face or in conjunction with other information, indicates a violation or potential violation of
law (whether civil or criminal), regulation, rule, order, or contract, the pertinent record may be
disclosed to the appropriate entity (whether federal, state, local, joint, tribal, foreign, or
international), that is charged with the responsibility of investigating, prosecuting, and/or
enforcing such law, regulation, rule, order, or contract.
</p><p>BRU-2. Non-FBI Employees. To contractors, grantees, experts, consultants, students, or
others performing or working on a contract, service, grant, cooperative agreement, or other
assignment for the Federal Government, when necessary to accomplish an agency function.
</p><p>BRU-3. Appropriate Disclosures to the Public. To the news media or members of the general
public in furtherance of a legitimate law enforcement or public safety function as determined by the
FBI, e.g., to assist in locating fugitives; to provide notifications of arrests; to provide alerts,
assessments, or similar information on potential threats to life, health, or property; or to keep
the public appropriately informed of other law enforcement or FBI matters or other matters of
legitimate public interest where disclosure could not reasonably be expected to constitute an
unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. (The availability of information in pending criminal or
civil cases will be governed by the provisions of 28 CFR 50.2.)
</p><p>BRU-4. Courts or Adjudicative Bodies. To a court or adjudicative body, in matters in which
(a) the FBI or any FBI employee in his or her official capacity, (b) any FBI employee in his or her
individual capacity where the Department of Justice has agreed to represent the employee, or (c) the
United States, is or could be a party to the litigation, is likely to be affected by the litigation,
or has an official interest in the litigation, and disclosure of system records has been determined
by the FBI to be arguably relevant to the litigation. Similar disclosures may be made in analogous
situations related to assistance provided to the Federal Government by non-FBI employees (see BRU
-2).
</p><p>BRU-5. Parties. To an actual or potential party or his or her attorney for the purpose of
negotiating or discussing such matters as settlement of the case or matter, or informal discovery
proceedings, in matters in which the FBI has an official interest and in which the FBI determines
records in the system to be arguably relevant.
</p><p>BRU-6. As Mandated by Law. To such recipients and under such circumstances and procedures
as are mandated by Federal statute or treaty.
</p><p>BRU-7. Members of Congress. To a Member of Congress or a person on his or her staff acting
on the Member’s behalf when the request is made on behalf and at the request of the individual who
is the subject of the record.
</p><p>BRU-8. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Records Management. To the
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for records management inspections and such
other purposes conducted under the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.
</p><p>BRU-9. Auditors. To any agency, organization, or individual for the purposes of performing
authorized audit or oversight operations of the FBI and meeting related reporting requirements.
</p><p>BRU-10. Former Employees. The DOJ may disclose relevant and necessary information to a
former employee of the Department for purposes of: responding to an official inquiry by a federal,
state, or local government entity or professional licensing authority, in accordance with applicable
Department regulations; or facilitating communications with a former employee that may be necessary
for personnel-related or other official purposes where the Department requires information and/or
consultation assistance from the former employee regarding a matter within that person’s former area
of responsibility. (Such disclosures will be effected under procedures established in title 28, Code
of Federal Regulations, sections 16.300-301 and DOJ Order 2710.8C, including any future
revisions.)
</p><p>BRU-11. The White House. To the White House (the President, Vice President, their staffs,
and other entities of the Executive Office of the President (EOP)), and, during Presidential
transitions, the President-Elect and Vice-President Elect and their designees for appointment,
employment, security, and access purposes compatible with the purposes for which the records were
collected by the FBI, e.g., disclosure of information to assist the White House in making a
determination whether an individual should be: (1) granted, denied, or permitted to continue in
employment on the White House Staff; (2) given a Presidential appointment or Presidential
recognition; (3) provided access, or continued access, to classified or sensitive information; or
(4) permitted access, or continued access, to personnel or facilities of the White House/EOP
complex. System records may be disclosed also to the White House and, during Presidential
transitions, to the President Elect and Vice-President Elect and their designees, for Executive
Branch coordination of activities which relate to or have an effect upon the carrying out of the
constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties of the President, President Elect,
Vice-President or Vice-President Elect.
</p><p>BRU-12. Complainants and Victims. To complainants and/or victims to the extent deemed
appropriate by the FBI to provide such persons with information and explanations concerning the
progress and/or results of the investigations or cases arising from the matters of which they
complained and/or of which they were victims.
</p><p>BRU-13. To appropriate officials and employees of a federal agency or entity which requires
information relevant to a decision concerning the hiring, appointment, or retention of an employee;
the issuance, renewal, suspension, or revocation of a security clearance; the execution of a
security or suitability investigation; the letting of a contract; or the issuance of a grant or
benefit.
</p><p>BRU-14. To federal, state, local, tribal, foreign, or international licensing agencies or
associations which require information concerning the suitability or eligibility of an individual
for a license or permit.
</p><p>BRU-15. To designated officers and employees of state, local (including the District of
Columbia), or tribal law enforcement or detention agencies in connection with the hiring or
continued employment of an employee or contractor, where the employee or contractor would occupy or
occupies a position of public trust as a law enforcement officer or detention officer having direct
contact with the public or with prisoners or detainees, to the extent that the information is
relevant and necessary to the recipient agency’s decision.

<subsection type="categoriesOfIndividuals"><xhtmlContent><p>Alleged criminal offenders who have been detained, arrested, booked, or incarcerated. The
remainder of this notice will refer to all persons covered by the System as "alleged criminal
offender"  or "arrestee" .
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="categoriesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>Records may include certain generic or "common"  data elements which have been collected by
an arresting federal agency at its automated booking station (ABS). An agency may book an alleged
criminal offender on behalf of another agency which performed the arrest. Such common data (certain
data elements) have been identified by law enforcement as those case and biographical data routinely
collected by the law enforcement community during the booking process, <i>e.g.</i>, name, date and
place of birth, citizenship, hair and eye color, height and weight, occupation, social security
number, place, date and time of arrest and jail location, charge, disposition, any other pertinent
information related to known activities relevant or unique to the subject. Finally, such data may
include electronic fingerprints, mugshots, and pictures of applicable scars, marks, and tattoos.

Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 (Pub. L. 91-513), 21 U.S.C. 801 <i>et seq.</i> and Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1973.
</p><p>Purpose:</p>
<p>Nationwide JABS enables the conduct of automated booking procedures by participating law
enforcement organizations and provides an automated capability to transmit fingerprint and image
data to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification
System (IAFIS), Justice/FBI-009 Fingerprint Identification Records Systems (FIRS). JABS
maintains a repository of common offender data elements for identification of arrestees by
participating federal law enforcement organizations. JABS eliminates repetitive booking of offenders
for a single arrest and booking, and thereby eliminates the need for duplicate bookings, i.e., the
collection of much the same data by multiple agencies in prisoner processing activities involving
such agencies from arrest through incarceration. In addition, JABS standardized booking data
elements, enabling cross-agency sharing of booking information, enhancing cooperation among law
enforcement agencies, and reducing the threat to law enforcement officials and the public by
facilitating the rapid and positive identification of offenders.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="routineUsesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>Where necessary and/or appropriate, the DOJ may disclose relevant information from the JABS
repository and may allow electronic access as follows:
</p><p>a. To authorized federal law enforcement agencies to input and retrieve booking and arrests data
on criminal offenders. In addition, the JABS repository may be electronically accessed by these
agencies for other law enforcement purposes such as to learn about the arrest of a fugitive wanted
in several jurisdictions, to verify the identity of an arrestee, or to assist in the criminal
investigation activities.
</p><p>b. To other judicial/law enforcement agencies, <i>i.e.</i>, courts, probation, and parole
agencies, for direct electronic access to JABS to obtain applicable data which will assist them in
performing their official duties.
</p><p>c. To any criminal, civil, or regulatory law enforcement authority (whether federal, state,
local, territorial, tribal, or foreign) where the information is relevant to the recipient entity’s
law enforcement responsibilities.
</p><p>d. In an appropriate proceeding before a court, or administrative or adjudicative body, when the
Department of Justice determines that the records are arguably relevant to the proceeding; or in an
appropriate proceeding before an administrative or adjudicative body when the adjudicator determines
the records to be relevant to the proceeding.
</p><p>e. To complainants and/or victims to the extent necessary to provide such persons with
information and explanations concerning the progress and/or results of the investigation or case
arising from the matters of which they complained and/or of which they were a victim.
</p><p>f. To contractors, grantees, experts, consultants, students, and others performing or working on
a contract, service, grant, cooperative agreement, or other assignment for the Federal Government,
when necessary to accomplish an agency function related to this system of records.
</p><p>g. To a Member of Congress or staff acting upon the Member’s behalf when the Member or staff
requests the information on behalf of, and at the request of, the individual who is the subject of
the record.
</p><p>h. To the news media and the public, pursuant to 28 CFR 50.2, unless it is determined that
release of the specific information in the context of a particular case would constitute an
unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
</p><p>i. To the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for purposes of records management
inspections conducted under the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.
</p><p>j. The Department of Justice may disclose relevant and necessary information to a former employee
of the Department for purposes of: Responding to an official inquiry by a federal, state, or local
government entity or professional licensing authority, in accordance with applicable Department
regulations; or facilitating communications with a former employee that may be necessary for
personnel-related or other official purposes where the Department requires information and/or

<subsection type="systemLocation"><xhtmlContent><p>Employee Assistance Program (EAP) records are located at the U.S. Department of Justice,
1331 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20530, and other Department of Justice (DOJ) offices
throughout the country. For those components that operate component-specific EAPs, records are
located at the component’s primary location and/or its field division sites. The main address for
each DOJ component is posted on the DOJ Web site, <i>www.justice.gov.</i> EAP records for components
that utilize contractors in providing EAP services may also be maintained by such contractors, on
behalf of the Department, at the contractor’s location. To determine the location of particular EAP
records, contact the appropriate EAP Privacy Act system manager, whose contact information is listed
below in the System Managers and Addresses section.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="categoriesOfIndividuals"><xhtmlContent><p>Current and former employees of the Department, and in limited instances their family
members, who have sought counseling or have been referred for counseling or treatment through the
EAP. The remainder of this notice will refer to these individuals as "EAP client(s)."
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="categoriesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>Records may include any record, written or electronic, which may assist in diagnosing,
evaluating, counseling, and/or treating an EAP client, or resolving an EAP client’s complaint or
management’s concerns (management consultation) regarding the EAP client’s performance, attendance,
or conduct issues. Included are client identification data, such as name, home and/or work address,
email address, employee identification numbers, job title/series, telephone numbers, date of birth,
race, gender, marital status, relationship of family member to employee, and emergency contacts; the
EAP counselor’s intake/termination and outcome documents; case notes; pertinent personal, family,
employment, disciplinary, financial, legal, psychosocial, medical, and/or employment histories;
medical tests or screenings, including drug and alcohol tests and information on positive drug tests
generated by the staff of the Drug Free Workplace Program or treatment facilities from which the EAP
client may be receiving treatment; treatment and rehabilitation plans; insurance data; behavioral
improvement plans; and records of referrals. Referrals include those to community treatment
resources and social service agencies that provide legal, financial, or other assistance not related
to mental health or general medical services. Where clinical referrals have been made, records may
include relevant information related to counseling, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and evaluation,
together with follow-up data that may be generated by the community program providing the relevant
services. Other records included in the system are the written consent forms used to permit the
disclosure of information outside the EAP. EAP client records may also include account information,
such as contractor billings and government payments, when EAP services are provided by an EAP
contractor to the client.

</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="purpose"><xhtmlContent><p>The EAP is a voluntary program designed to assist EAP clients in obtaining help in handling
personal problems that may affect job performance, and to provide emotional support and assistance
during periods of crisis. Records are maintained to document and track a client’s participation in
the EAP or community programs and the nature and effects of the employee’s personal problems. If an
EAP client so consents, these records may also be used to track compliance with Abeyance or Last
Chance Agreements that include treatment options, in which the EAP is an integral part of
establishing and/or monitoring treatment compliance.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="routineUsesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b), relevant
records or information in this system may be disclosed without EAP client consent as follows:
</p><p>(Note: To the extent that disclosure of substance abuse patient records is more restricted than
disclosure of other EAP records, the EAP staff will follow such restrictions. <i>See</i> 42 U.S.C.
290dd-2; 42 CFR part 2. Similarly, nothing in these routine uses should be construed as
authorizing a disclosure which is prohibited under State law; nor may any State law either authorize
or compel any disclosure of substance abuse patient records not encompassed by this notice and
governing EAP regulations. <i>See</i> 42 CFR 2.20.)
</p><p>(a) To appropriate State or local authorities to report, where required under State law,
incidents of suspected child, elder, or domestic abuse or neglect.
</p><p>(b) To any person or entity to the extent necessary to prevent an imminent crime which directly
threatens loss of life or serious bodily injury.
</p><p>(c) To contractors or authorized EAP community health care providers that provide counseling and
other services through referrals from the EAP staff to the extent that it is appropriate, relevant,
and necessary to enable the contractor or provider to perform his or her counseling, treatment,
rehabilitation, and evaluation responsibilities.
</p><p>(d) To contractors, grantees, experts, consultants, students, and others performing or working on
a contract, grant, cooperative agreement, or other assignment providing other services to an EAP
program, when necessary to provide these services. In the case of substance abuse patient records, a
service provider must meet the qualifications established by 42 CFR 2.11.
</p><p>(e) To any person who is responsible for the care of an EAP client when the EAP client to whom
the records pertain is mentally incompetent or under legal disability.
</p><p>(f) To any person or entity to the extent necessary to meet a bona fide medical emergency.
</p><p>(g) To law enforcement officers to report information directly related to an EAP client’s
commission of a crime on the premises of the EAP program or against EAP program personnel or a
threat to commit such a crime, provided that the disclosure is limited to the circumstances of the
incident, including the client status of the individual committing or threatening to commit the
crime, that individual’s name and address, and that individual’s last known whereabouts.
</p><p>(h) To a former EAP employee of the Department for purposes of: Responding to an official inquiry
by a federal, State, or local government entity or professional licensing authority, in accordance
with applicable Departmental regulations; or facilitating communications with the employee or
contractor that may be necessary for personnel-related or other official purposes where the
Department requires information and/or consultation assistance from the employee or contractor
regarding a matter within that person’s current or former area of responsibility.
</p><p>(i) To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when (1) the Department suspects or has
confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in the system of records has been
compromised; (2) the Department has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed
compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or
harm to the security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs (whether maintained by
the Department or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; and (3) the
disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in
connection with the Department’s efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and
prevent, minimize or remedy such harm.
</p><p>Disclosure to consumer reporting agencies:
</p><p>None.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="policiesAndPractices"><xhtmlContent><p>Information in this system may be maintained in paper or electronic format. Records in paper
format include hardcopy manual files and index cards. Records in electronic format are kept in
computerized databases and electronic media.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="retrievability"><xhtmlContent><p>Records in this system may be indexed and retrieved by the name of the EAP client or by an
identifying case number or symbol that is cross-indexed to the EAP client’s name, in accordance with
policies and procedures outlined in DOJ Order 1200.1.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="safeguards"><xhtmlContent><p>Internal EAP records are maintained by component EAP staff. In most cases, access to
Department buildings is restricted by 24-hour guard service and electronic identification. EAP
records are secured in a GSA security-approved safe or equivalent as approved by the component’s
Security Program Office. Safes are locked when staff members are not in their offices. Access to
these files is strictly limited to approved EAP personnel only. Only the case number appears on the
file label. The file is cross-referenced with a separately secured list with corresponding name and
case number. EAP case-sensitive information in electronic format is only stored on a computer hard
drive or equivalent device if it is an approved system with firewall and password protection.
Systems operating on a component’s LAN-based system encrypt stored EAP sensitive data. Electronic
media are accessible only by a confidential password and secured in a safe as referenced above,
within a locked room when not in use. Department contractors that maintain EAP records are required
to provide adequate file security to prevent the theft of client files or inadvertent release of
personal health information. Adequate file security may include the removal of an EAP client’s
personal information in a payment voucher prepared to effect payment for services rendered by the
contractor in performance of the contract. Further, contractor invoices or documents in support of
payment which do include specific EAP client information are hand-carried by local contractors to
the component’s EAP Administrator when feasible.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="retentionAndDisposal"><xhtmlContent><p>Records are retained during their useful life in accordance with records retention schedules
approved by the National Archives and Records Administration. All records regardless of the storage
medium are destroyed three years after the date of the last counseling session, unless a longer
retention period is necessary because the EAP has actual notice of an administrative or judicial
proceeding specific to the client. In such cases, the records are retained for six months after the
conclusion of the proceedings. Destruction is by EAP personnel. Paper records are destroyed through
the use of a high-grade shredder. Any electronic storage device that was used to store sensitive EAP
information is degaussed before it is discarded, transferred, or donated outside the EAP.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>

More specifically, 28 U.S.C. 516, 519, and 547 authorize the Attorney General to conduct litigation
to collect delinquent debts due the United States. In addition, 31 U.S.C. 3718(b) authorizes the
Attorney General to contract with private counsel to assist DOJ in collecting debts due the United
States. The Attorney General is further authorized by 28 U.S.C. 3101 et seq. and 3201 et seq. to
obtain both pre-judgment and post-judgment remedies against delinquent debtors. Moreover, under 28
U.S.C. 3201(a) and (e), a judgment against such a debtor creates a lien on all real property of the
debtor, and renders that debtor ineligible for any grant or loan insured, financed, guaranteed, or
made by the United States Government.

associations of private health plans, health insurers, or associations of health insurers, to
promote the coordination of efforts to prevent, detect, investigate, and prosecute health care

health plans to participate in local, regional, and national health care fraud task force
activities; and to assist tribunals, which have jurisdiction over claims against private health
plans for allegedly improper disclosures to the Department of Justice of information concerning
suspected health care fraud, in determining whether the private health plan qualifies for statutory

and until the jurisdiction obtains from the Federal court in the District of Columbia or from the
Attorney General a determination that the change is not discriminatory on account of race, color, or
membership in a language minority group. If the jurisdiction is unable to prove the absence of
discrimination, the Attorney General objects to the change, and it remains legally unenforceable.
Further, the Registry may be used to notify the persons listed therein of any proposed changes in
the "Procedures for the Administration of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965,"  46 FR 870

<subsection type="purpose"><xhtmlContent><p>The purpose for maintaining the NCIC system of records is to provide a computerized data
base for ready access by a criminal justice agency making an inquiry and for prompt disclosure of
information in the system from other criminal justice agencies about crimes and criminals. This
information assists authorized agencies in criminal justice objectives, such as apprehending
fugitives, locating missing persons, locating and returning stolen property, as well as in the
protection of the law enforcement officers encountering the individuals described in the system.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="routineUsesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>Data in NCIC files is exchanged with and for the official use of authorized officials of the
federal government, the states, cities, penal and other institutions, and certain foreign
governments. The data is exchanged most frequently, but not exclusively, through NCIC lines to
federal criminal justice agencies, criminal justice agencies in the 50 states, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Possessions, U.S. Territories, and certain authorized foreign and
international criminal justice agencies. Criminal history data is disseminated to non-criminal
justice agencies for use in connection with licensing for local/state employment or other uses, but
only where such dissemination is authorized by federal or state statute and approved by the Attorney
General of the United States.
</p><p>Data in NCIC files, other than the information described in "Categories of records in the system:
I, J, K, M, N, and O"  is disseminated to:
</p><p>(1) A nongovernmental agency or subunit thereof which allocates a substantial part of its annual
budget to the administration of criminal justice, whose regularly employed peace officers have full
police powers pursuant to state law and have complied with the minimum employment standards of
governmentally employed police officers as specified by state statute;
</p><p>(2) A noncriminal justice governmental department of motor vehicle or driver’s license registry
established by a statute, which provides vehicle registration and driver record information to
criminal justice agencies;
</p><p>(3) A governmental regional dispatch center, established by a state statute, resolution,
ordinance or Executive order, which provides communications services to criminal justice agencies;
and
</p><p>(4) The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), a nongovernmental nonprofit agency which acts as
a national clearinghouse for information on stolen vehicles and offers free assistance to law
enforcement agencies concerning automobile thefts, identification and recovery of stolen vehicles.
</p><p>Disclosures of information from this system, as described in (1) through (4) above, are for the
purpose of providing information to authorized agencies to facilitate the apprehension of fugitives,
the location of missing persons, the location and/or return of stolen property, or similar criminal
justice objectives.
</p><p>Information on missing children, missing adults who were reported missing while children, and
unidentified living and deceased persons may be disclosed to the National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children (NCMEC). The NCMEC is a nongovernmental, nonprofit, federally funded corporation,
serving as a national resource and technical assistance clearinghouse focusing on missing and
exploited children. Information is disclosed to NCMEC to assist it in its efforts to provide
technical assistance and education to parents and local governments regarding the problems of
missing and exploited children, and to operate a nationwide missing children hotline to permit
members of the public to telephone the Center from anywhere in the United States with information
about a missing child.
</p><p>System records may be disclosed to criminal justice agencies for the conduct of background checks
under the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).
</p><p>System records may be disclosed to noncriminal justice governmental agencies performing criminal
justice dispatching functions or data processing/information services for criminal justice agencies.
</p><p>System records may be disclosed to private contractors pursuant to a specific agreement with a
criminal justice agency or a noncriminal justice governmental agency performing criminal justice
dispatching functions or data processing/information services for criminal justice agencies to
provide services for the administration of criminal justice pursuant to that agreement. The
agreement must incorporate a security addendum approved by the Attorney General of the United
States, which shall specifically authorize access to criminal history record information, limit the
use of the information to the purposes for which it is provided, ensure the security and
confidentiality of the information, provide for sanctions, and contain such other provisions as the
Attorney General may require. The power and authority of the Attorney General hereunder shall be
exercised by the FBI Director (or the Director’s designee).
</p><p>In addition, information may be released to the news media and the public pursuant to 28 CFR
50.2, unless it is determined that release of the specific information in the context of a
particular case would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy;
</p><p>System records may be disclosed to a Member of Congress or staff acting on the member’s behalf
when the member or staff requests the information on behalf of and at the request of the individual
who is the subject of the record; and,
</p><p>System records may be disclosed to the National Archives and Records Administration and the
General Services Administration for records management inspections conducted under the authority of
44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.
</p><p>Pursuant to subsection (b)(3) of the Privacy Act, the Department of Justice may disclose relevant
and necessary information to a former employee of the Department for purposes of: responding to an
official inquiry by a federal, state, or local government entity or professional licensing
authority, in accordance with applicable Department regulations; or facilitating communications with
a former employee that may be necessary for personnel-related or other official purposes where the
Department requires information and/or consultation assistance from the former employee regarding a
matter within that person’s former area of responsibility.

<subsection type="safeguards"><xhtmlContent><p>Data stored in the NCIC is documented criminal justice agency information and access to that
data is restricted to duly authorized users. The following security measures are the minimum to be
adopted by all authorized users having access to the NCIC.
</p><p>Interstate Identification Index (III) File. These measures are designed to prevent unauthorized
access to the system data and/or unauthorized use of data obtained from the computerized file.
</p><p>1. Computer Center.
</p><p>a. The authorized user’s computer site must have adequate physical security to protect against
any unauthorized personnel gaining access to the computer equipment or to any of the stored data.
</p><p>b. Since personnel at these computer centers can have access to data stored in the system, they
must be screened thoroughly under the authority and supervision of an NCIC control terminal agency.
(This authority and supervision may be delegated to responsible criminal justice agency personnel in
the case of a satellite computer center being serviced through a state control terminal agency.)
This screening will also apply to non-criminal justice maintenance or technical personnel.
</p><p>c. All visitors to these computer centers must be accompanied by staff personnel at all times.
</p><p>d. Computers having access to the NCIC must have the proper computer instructions written and
other built-in controls to prevent criminal history data from being accessible to any terminals
other than authorized terminals.
</p><p>e. Computers having access to the NCIC must maintain a record of all transactions against the
criminal history file in the same manner the NCIC computer logs all transactions. The NCIC
identifies each specific agency entering or receiving information and maintains a record of those
transactions. This transaction record must be monitored and reviewed on a regular basis to detect
any possible misuse of criminal history data.
</p><p>f. Each State Control terminal shall build its data system around a central computer, through
which each inquiry must pass for screening and verification. The configuration and operation of the
center shall provide for the integrity of the data base.
</p><p>2. Communications:
</p><p>a. Lines/channels being used to transmit criminal history information must be dedicated solely to
criminal justice, i.e., there must be no terminals belonging to agencies outside the criminal
justice system sharing these lines/channels.
</p><p>b. Physical security of the lines/channels must be protected to guard against clandestine devices
being utilized to intercept or inject system traffic.
</p><p>3. Terminal Devices Having Access to NCIC:
</p><p>a. All authorized users having terminal on this system must be required to physically place
theses terminals in secure locations within the authorized agency.
</p><p>b. The authorized users having terminals with access to criminal history must screen terminal
operators and restrict access to the terminal to a minimum number of authorized employees.
</p><p>c. Copies of criminal history data obtained from terminal devices must be afforded security to
prevent any unauthorized access to or use of the data.
</p><p>d. All remote terminals on NCIS III will maintain a manual or automated log of computerized
criminal history inquiries with notations of individuals making requests for records for a minimum
of one year.

</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="recordAccessProcedures"><xhtmlContent><p>It is noted the Attorney General has exempted this system from the access and contest
procedures of the Privacy Act. However, the following alternative procedures are available to a
requester. The procedures by which an individual may obtain a copy of his or her criminal history
record from a state or local criminal justice agency are detailed in 28 CFR 20.34 appendix and are
essentially as follows:
</p><p>If an individual has a criminal record supported by fingerprints and that record has been entered
in the III System, it is available to that individual for review, upon presentation of appropriate
identification and in accordance with applicable state and federal administrative and statutory
regulations.
</p><p>Appropriate identification includes being fingerprinted for the purpose of insuring that the
individual is who the individual purports to be. The record on file will then be verified through
comparison of fingerprints.
</p><p>Procedure:
</p><p>1. All requests for review must be made by the subject of the record through a law enforcement
agency which has access to the III System. That agency within statutory or regulatory limits can
require additional identification to assist in securing a positive identification.
</p><p>2. If the cooperating law enforcement agency can make an identification with fingerprints
previously taken which are on file locally and if the FBI identification number of the individual’s
record is available to that agency, it can make an on-line inquiry through NCIC to obtain the III
System record or, if it does not have suitable equipment to obtain an on-line response, obtain the
record from Clarksburg, West Virginia, by mail. The individual will then be afforded the opportunity
to see that record.
</p><p>3. Should the cooperating law enforcement agency not have the individual’s fingerprints on file
locally, it is necessary for that agency to relate the prints to an existing record by having the
identification prints compared with those already on file in the FBI, or, possibly, in the state’s
central identification agency.
</p><p>The procedures by which an individual may obtain a copy of his or her criminal history record
from the FBI are set forth in 28 CFR 16.30-16.34.

<subsection type="contestingRecordProcedures"><xhtmlContent><p>The Attorney General has exempted this system from the contest procedures of the Privacy
Act. Under the alternative procedures described above under "Record Access Procedures,"  the subject
of the requested record shall request the appropriate arresting agency, court, or correctional
agency to initiate action necessary to correct any stated inaccuracy in subject’s record or provide
the information needed to make the record complete. The subject of a record may also direct his/her
challenge as to the accuracy or completeness of any entry on his/her record to the FBI, Criminal
Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division, ATTN: SCU, Mod. D-2, 1000 Custer Hollow Road,
Clarksburg, WV 26306. The FBI will then forward the challenge to the agency which submitted the data
requesting that agency to verify or correct the challenged entry. Upon the receipt of an official
communication directly from the agency which contributed the original information, the FBI CJIS
Division will make any changes necessary in accordance with the information supplied by that agency.

</p><p>281. Organized Crime Drug Investigations. Records Maintained in FBI Field Divisions--FBI
field divisions maintain for limited periods of time investigative, administrative and
correspondence records, including files, index cards and related material, some of which are
duplicated copies of reports and similar documents forwarded to FBI Headquarters. Most investigative
activities conducted by FBI field divisions are reported to FBI Headquarters at one or more stages
of the investigation. There are, however, investigative activities wherein no reporting was made to
FBI Headquarters, e.g., pending cases not as yet reported and cases which were closed in the field
division for any of a number of reasons without reporting to FBI Headquarters.
</p><p>Duplicate records and records which extract information reported in the main files are also kept
in the various divisions of the FBI to assist them in their day-to-day operation. These records are
lists of individuals which contain certain biographic data, including physical description and
photograph. They may also contain information concerning activities of the individual as reported to
FBIHQ by the various field offices. The establishment of these lists is necessitated by the needs of
the Division to have immediate access to pertinent information duplicative of data found in the
central records without the delay caused by a time-consuming manual search of central indices. The
manner of segregating these individuals varies depending on the particular needs of the FBI
Division. The information pertaining to individuals who are a part of the list is derivative of
information contained in the Central Records System. These duplicative records fall into the
following categories:
</p><p>(1) Listings of individuals used to assist in the location and apprehension of individuals for
whom legal process is outstanding (fugitives):
</p><p>(2) Listings of individuals used in the identification of particular offenders in cases where the
FBI has jurisdiction. These listings include various photograph albums and background data
concerning persons who have been formerly charged with a particular crime and who may be suspect in
similar criminal activities; and photographs of individuals who are unknown but suspected of
involvement in a particular criminal activity, for example, bank surveillance photographs:
</p><p>(3) Listings of individuals as part of an overall criminal intelligence effort by the FBI. This
would include photograph albums, lists of individuals known to be involved in criminal activity,
including theft from interstate shipment, interstate transportation of stolen property, and
individuals in the upper echelon of organized crime:
</p><p>(4) Listings of individuals in connection with the FBI’s mandate to carry out Presidential
directives on January 8, 1943, July 24, 1950, December 15, 1953, and February 18, 1976, which
designated the FBI to carry out investigative work in matters relating to espionage, sabotage, and
foreign counterintelligence. These listings may include photograph albums and other listings
containing biographic data regarding individuals. This would include lists of identified and
suspected foreign intelligence agents and informants:
</p><p>(5) Special indices duplicative of the central indices used to access the Central Records System
have been created from time to time in conjunction with the administration and investigation of
major cases. This duplication and segregation facilitates access to documents prepared in connection
with major cases.
</p><p>In recent years, as the emphasis on the investigation of white collar crime, organized crime, and
hostile foreign intelligence operations has increased, the FBI has been confronted with increasingly
complicated cases, which require more intricate information processing capabilities. Since these
complicated investigations frequently involve massive volumes of evidence and other investigative
information, the FBI uses its computers, when necessary to collate, analyze, and retrieve
investigative information in the most accurate and expeditious manner possible. It should be noted
that this computerized investigative information, which is extracted from the main files or other
commercial or governmental sources, is only maintained as necessary to support the FBI’s
investigative activities. Information from these internal computerized subsystems of the "Central
Records System"  is not accessed by any other agency. All disclosures of computerized information
are made in printed form or other appropriate format, in accordance with the routine uses which are
set forth below and in compliance with applicable security requirements.
</p><p>Records also are maintained on a temporary basis relevant to the FBI’s domestic police
cooperating program, where assistance in obtaining information is provided to state and local police
agencies. Also, personnel type information, dealing with such matters as attendance and production
and accuracy requirements is maintained by some divisions.
</p><p>(The following chart identifies various listings or indexes maintained by the FBI which have been
or are being used by various divisions of the FBI in their day-to-day operations. The chart
identifies the list by name, description and use, and where maintained, i.e., FBI Headquarters
and/or Field Office. The number of field offices which maintain these indices is also indicated. The
list indicates those indexes which are in current use (designated by the word "active" ) and those

<subsection type="authorityForMaintenance"><xhtmlContent><p>Federal Records Act of 1950, Title 44, United States Code, chapter 31, section 3101; and
title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, chapter XII, require Federal agencies to insure that adequate
and proper records are made and preserved to document the organization, functions, policies,
decisions, procedures and transactions and to protect the legal and financial rights of the Federal
Government, title 28, United States Code, section 534, delegates authority to the Attorney General
to acquire, collect, classify, and preserve identification, criminal identification, crime and other
records.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="routineUsesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>Records, both investigative and administrative, are maintained in this system in order to
permit the FBI to function efficiently as an authorized, responsive component of the Department of
Justice. Therefore, information in this system is disclosed to officials and employees of the
Department of Justice, and/or all components thereof, who have need of the information in the
performance of their official duties.
</p><p>Personal information from this system may be disclosed as a routine use to any Federal agency
where the purpose in making the disclosure is compatible with the law enforcement purpose for which
it was collected, e.g., to assist the recipient agency in conducting a lawful criminal or
intelligence investigation, to assist the recipient agency in making a determination concerning an
individual’s suitability for employment and/or trustworthiness for employment and/or trustworthiness
for access clearance purposes, or to assist the recipient agency in the performance of any
authorized function where access to records in this system is declared by the recipient agency to be
relevant to that function.
</p><p>In addition, personal information may be disclosed from this system to members of the Judicial
Branch of the Federal Government in response to a specific request, or at the initiation of the FBI,
where disclosure appears relevant to the authorized function of the recipient judicial office or
court system. An example would be where an individual is being considered for employment by a
Federal judge. Information in this system may be disclosed as a routine use to any state or local
government agency directly engaged in the criminal justice process, e.g., police, prosecution,
penal, probation and parole, and the judiciary, where access is directly related to a law
enforcement function of the recipient agency, e.g., in connection with a lawful criminal or
intelligence investigation, or making a determination concerning an individual’s suitability for
employment as a state or local law enforcement employee or concerning a victim’s compensation under
a state statute. Disclosure to a state or local government agency, (a) not directly engaged in the
criminal justice process or (b) for a licensing or regulatory function, is considered on an
individual basis only under exceptional circumstances, as determined by the FBI.
</p><p>Information in this system pertaining to the use, abuse or traffic of controlled substances may
be disclosed as a routine use to federal, state or local law enforcement agencies and to licensing
or regulatory agencies empowered to engage in the institution and prosecution of cases before courts
and licensing boards in matters relating to controlled substances, including courts and licensing
boards responsible for the licensing or certification of individuals in the fields of pharmacy and
medicine.
</p><p>In any health care-related civil or criminal case, investigation, or matter, information
indicating patient harm, neglect, or abuse, or poor or inadequate quality of care, at a health care
facility or by a health care provider, may be disclosed as a routine use to any Federal, State,
local, tribal, foreign, joint, international, or private entity that is responsible for regulating,
licensing, registering, or accrediting any health care provider or health care facility, or
enforcing any health care-related laws or regulations. Further, information indicating an ongoing
quality of care problem by a health care provider or at a health care facility may be disclosed to
the appropriate health plan. Additionally, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law,
information indicating patient harm, neglect, abuse, or poor or inadequate quality of care may be
disclosed to the affected patient or his or her representative or guardian at the discretion of and
in the manner determined by the agency in possession of the information. Information in this system
may be disclosed as a routine use in a proceeding before a court of adjudicative body, e.g., the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Merit Systems Protection Board, before which the FBI
is authorized to appear, when (a) the FBI or any employee thereof in his or her official capacity,
or (b) any employee in his or her individual capacity where the Department of Justice has agreed to
represent the employee, or (c) the United States, where the FBI determines it is likely to be
affected by the litigation, is a party to litigation or has an interest in litigation and such
records are determined by the FBI to be relevant to the litigation.
</p><p>Information in this system may be disclosed as a routine use to an organization or individual in
both the public or private sector if deemed necessary to elicit information or cooperation from the
recipient for use by the FBI in the performance of an authorized activity. An example would be where
the activities of an individual are disclosed to a member of the public in order to elicit his/her
assistance in our apprehension or detection efforts.
</p><p>Information in this system may be disclosed as a routine use to an organization or individual in
both the public or private sector where there is reason to believe the recipient is or could become
the target of a particular criminal activity or conspiracy, to the extent the information is
relevant to the protection of life or property.
</p><p>Information in this system may be disclosed to legitimate agency of a foreign government where
the FBI determines that the information is relevant to that agency’s responsibilities, and
dissemination serves the best interests of the U.S. Government, and where the purpose in making the
disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the information was collected.
</p><p>Relevant information may be disclosed from this system to the news media and general public where
there exists a legitimate public interest, e.g., to assist in the location of Federal fugitives, to
provide notification of arrests, and where necessary for protection from imminent threat of life or
property. This would include releases of information in accordance with 28 CFR 50.2.
</p><p>A record relating to an actual or potential civil or criminal violation of the copyright statute,
Title 17, United States Code, or the trademark statutes. Titles 15 and 17, U.S. Code, may be
disseminated to a person injured by such violation to assist him/her in the institution or
maintenance of a suit brought under such titles. The FBI has received inquiries from private
citizens and Congressional offices on behalf of constituents seeking assistance in locating
individuals such as missing children and heirs to estates. Where the need is acute, and where it
appears FBI files may be the only lead in locating the individual, consideration will be given to
furnishing relevant information to the requester. Information will be provided only in those
instances where there are reasonable grounds to conclude from available information the individual
being sought would want the information to be furnished, e.g., an heir to a large estate.
Information with regard to missing children will not be provided where they have reached their
majority.
</p><p>Information contained in this system, may be made available to a Member of Congress or staff
acting upon the member’s behalf when the member of staff requests the information in behalf of and
at the request of the individual who is the subject of the record.
</p><p>A record from this system of records may be disclosed as a routine use to the National Archives
and Records Administration and General Services Administration in records management inspections
conducted under the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906, to the extent that legislation governing
the records permits.
</p><p>Pursuant to subsection (b)(3) of the Privacy Act, the Department of Justice may disclose relevant
and necessary information to a former employee of the Department for purposes of: responding to an
official inquiry by a federal, state, or local government entity or professional licensing
authority, in accordance with applicable Department regulations; or facilitating communications with
a former employee that may be necessary for personnel-related or other official purposes where the
Department requires information and/or consultation assistance from the former employee regarding a
matter within that person’s former area of responsibility.

<subsection type="routineUsesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>Information relating to health care fraud may be disclosed to private health plans, or
associations of private health plans, and health insurers, or associations of health insurers, for
the following purposes: to promote the coordination of efforts to prevent, detect, investigate, and
prosecute health care fraud; to assist efforts by victims of health care fraud to obtain
restitution; to enable private health plans to participate in local, regional, and national health
care fraud task force activities; and to assist tribunals having jurisdiction over claims against
private health plans.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="policiesAndPractices"><xhtmlContent><p>Storage:</p>
<p>The active main files are maintained in hard copy form and some inactive records are
maintained on microfilm. Investigative information which is maintained in computerized form may be
stored in memory, on disk storage, on computer tape, or on a computer printed listing.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="retrievability"><xhtmlContent><p>The FBI General Index must be searched to determine what information, if any, the FBI may
have in its files. Index records, or pointers to specific FBI files, are created on all manner of
subject matters, but the predominant type record is the name index record. It should be noted the
FBI does not index all individuals who furnish information or all names developed during the course
of an investigation. Only that information considered pertinent, relevant, or essential for future
retrieval, is indexed. In certain major cases, individuals interviewed may be indexed to facilitate
the administration of the investigation. The FBI has automated that portion of its index containing
the most recent information--15 years for criminal related matters and 30 years for
intelligence and other type matters.
</p><p>Automation will not change the "Central Records System" ; it will only facilitate more economic
and expeditious access to the main files. Searches against the automated records are accomplished on
a "batch off-line"  basis for certain submitting agencies where the name search requests conform to
FBI specified formats and also in an "on-line"  mode with the use of video display terminals for
other requests. The FBI will not permit any organization, public or private, outside the FBI to have
direct access to the FBI indices system. All searches against the indices data base will be
performed on site within FBI space by FBI personnel with the assistance of the automated procedures,
where feasible. Automation of the various FBI field office indices was completed in 1989. This
automation initiative has been on a "day-one"  basis. This indices system points to specific files
within a given field office. Additionally, certain complicated investigative matters may be
supported by specialized computer systems or by individual microcomputers. Indices created in these
environments are maintained as part of the particular computer system and accessible only through
the system or through printed listings of the indices. Full text retrieval is used in a limited
number of cases as an investigative technique. It is not part of the normal search process and is
not used as a substitute for the General Index or computer indices mentioned above.
</p><p>The FBI will transfer historical records to the National Archives consistent with 44 U.S.C. 2103.
No record of individuals or subject matter will be retained for transferred files; however, a record
of the file numbers will be retained to provide full accountability of FBI files and thus preserve
the integrity of the filing system.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="safeguards"><xhtmlContent><p>Records are maintained in a restricted area and are accessed only by agency personnel. All
FBI employees receive a complete background investigation prior to being hired. All employees are
cautioned about divulging confidential information or any information contained in FBI files.
Failure to abide by this provision violates Department of Justice regulations and may violate
certain statutes providing maximum severe penalties of a ten thousand dollar fine or 10 years
imprisonment or both. Employees who resign or retire are also cautioned about divulging information
acquired in the jobs. Registered mail is used to transmit routine hard copy records between field
offices. Highly classified records are hand carried by Special Agents or personnel of the Armed
Forces Courier Service. Highly classified or sensitive privacy information, which is electronically
transmitted between field offices, is transmitted in encrypted form to prevent interception and
interpretation. Information transmitted in teletype form is placed in the main files of both the
receiving and transmitting field offices. Field offices involved in certain complicated
investigative matters may be provided with on-line access to the duplicative computerized
information which is maintained for them on disk storage in the FBI Computer Center in Washington,
DC, and this computerized data is also transmitted in encrypted form.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="retentionAndDisposal"><xhtmlContent><p>As the result of an extensive review of FBI records conducted by NARA, records evaluated as
historical and permanent will be transferred to the National Archives after established retention
periods and administrative needs of the FBI have elapsed. As deemed necessary, certain records may
be subject to restricted examination and usage, as provided by 44 U.S.C. section 2104.
</p><p>FBI record disposition programs relevant to this System are conducted in accordance with the FBI
Records Retention Plan and Disposition Schedule which was approved by the Archivist of the United
States and the U.S. District Court, District of Columbia. Investigative, applicant and
administrative records which meet the destruction criteria will be destroyed after 20 or 30 years at
FBI Headquarters and after 1, 5, 10 or 20 years in FBI Field Offices. Historical records will be
transferred to the National Archives after 30 or 50 years, contingent upon investigative and
administrative needs. The administrative indices and listings described within this System were
appraised separately and disposition authority established. (Job No. NC1-65-82-4

<subsection type="categoriesOfIndividuals"><xhtmlContent><p>Individuals and entities who have been the targets of electronic surveillance coverage
sought, conducted, or administered by the FBI pursuant to a court order, consensual monitoring, or
other authority; those who have been a party to a communication or present in a locale
monitored/recorded electronically pursuant to such electronic surveillance; those who own, lease,
license, hold a possessory interest in, or commonly use the property or location subjected to such
electronic surveillance; and those involved in the administration of the electronic surveillance,
for example, the judge issuing or denying an order for an electronic surveillance application, the
prosecuting attorney, and the officials who authorized the filing of the application.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="categoriesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>The ELSUR Indices are comprised of four types of records:
</p><p>1. Principal records identify, by true name or best known name, all persons, entities, and
facilities who have been the targets of electronic surveillance coverage sought, conducted, or
administered by the FBI pursuant to a court order or other authority. These records include, but are
not limited to, persons, entities, and facilities named in an application filed in support of an
affidavit seeking a court order to conduct or administer an electronic surveillance. Principal
records may also include descriptive data associated with the name appearing on the record.
</p><p>2. Proprietary-interest records identify entities and/or individuals who own, lease, license,
hold a possessory interest in, or commonly use the property or location subjected to an electronic
surveillance. Proprietary interest records may identify individuals involved in the administration
of the electronic surveillance; for example, the judge issuing or denying an order for an electronic
surveillance application, the prosecuting attorney, the officials who authorized the filing of the
application. Proprietary-interest records may also include descriptive data associated with the name
appearing on the record.
</p><p>3. Intercept records identify, by true name or best known name, individuals who have been
reasonably identified by a first name or initial and a last name as being a party to a communication
monitored/recorded electronically pursuant to an electronic surveillance. Intercept records also
identify entities that have been a party to a communication or present in a locale
monitored/recorded electronically pursuant to an electronic surveillance. Intercept records may
include descriptive data associated with the name appearing on the record.
</p><p>4. Reference records identify, by partial name, such as a first name only, last name only, code
name, nickname, or alias those individuals who have been a party to a communication or present in a
locale monitored/recorded electronically pursuant to an electronic surveillance, and may include
descriptive data associated with the individual. If the individual is later identified by a more
complete name, e.g., through further monitoring or normal investigative procedures, the reference
record is re-entered as an intercept record.

0.85.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="purpose"><xhtmlContent><p>These records are used by the FBI to maintain certain information regarding electronic
surveillance sought, conducted or administered by the FBI in order to permit the agency to respond
to judicial inquiries about possible electronic surveillance coverage of any individual or entity,
and to enable the Government to certify, as requested by federal, state or local law enforcement
agencies, whether or not an individual, entity, facility, or place on whom a court ordered authority
is being sought for electronic surveillance coverage has ever been subjected to electronic
surveillance coverage in the past.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>

</p><p>In addition, as routine uses specific to this system, the FBI may disclose relevant system
records to the following persons or entities under the circumstances or for the purposes described
below, to the extent such disclosures are compatible with the purpose for which the information was
collected. (Routine uses are not meant to be mutually exclusive and may overlap in some cases.)
</p><p>A. To the judiciary in response to inquiries about possible electronic surveillance coverage of
any individual or entity.
</p><p>B. To federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement officers to enable the government to
certify whether or not an individual, entity, facility, or place on whom a court ordered authority
is being sought for electronic surveillance coverage has ever been subjected to electronic
surveillance coverage in the past.
</p><p>C. To a federal, state, local, joint, tribal, foreign, international, or other public
agency/organization, where such disclosure serves a law enforcement purpose, such as sharing
information of intelligence value with other law enforcement or intelligence agencies to whose
lawful responsibilities the information may be germane.
</p><p>D. To any person or entity in either the public or private sector, domestic or foreign, if deemed
by the FBI to be reasonably necessary in eliciting information or cooperation from the recipient for
use by the FBI in the performance of an authorized function, e.g., disclosure of personal
information to a member of the public in order to elicit his/her assistance/cooperation in a
criminal, security, or employment background investigation.
</p><p>E. To any person or entity in either the public or private sector, domestic or foreign, where
there is reason to believe that a person or entity could become the target of a particular criminal
activity or conspiracy, to the extent the disclosure of information is deemed by the FBI to be
reasonable and relevant to the protection of life, health, or property of such target.

<subsection type="policiesAndPractices"><xhtmlContent><p>Storage:</p>
<p>A. The criminal fingerprints and related criminal justice information are stored in both
automated and manual formats. The manual records are in file cabinets in their original state or on
microfilm.
</p><p>B. The civil fingerprints are stored in an entirely manual format.
</p><p>C. The identification records or "rap sheets"  are mostly automated but a significant portion of
older records are manual.
</p><p>D. The criminal name index is either automated or on microfilm while the civil name index is
entirely manual.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="retrievability"><xhtmlContent><p>A. Information in the system is retrievable by technical fingerprint classification and
positive identification is effected only by comparison of unique identifying characteristics
appearing in fingerprint impressions submitted for search against the fingerprints maintained within
the system.
</p><p>B. An auxiliary means of retrieval is through name indices which contain names of the
individuals, their birth data, other physical descriptors, and the individuals’ technical
fingerprint classification and FBI numbers, if such have been assigned.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="safeguards"><xhtmlContent><p>Information in the system is unclassified. Disclosure of information from the system is made
only to authorized recipients upon authentication and verification of the right to access the system

<subsection type="retentionAndDisposal"><xhtmlContent><p>A. The Archivist of the United States has approved the destruction of records maintained in

destruction of records maintained in the civil file when the records indicate individuals have
reached 99 years of age. (Job. No. N1-65-95-03)
</p><p>B. Fingerprints and related arrest data in the system are destroyed seven years following
notification of the death of an individual whose record is maintained in the system (Job No. N1
-65-95-03)
</p><p>C. The Archivist has determined that automated FBI criminal identification records (rap sheets)
are to be permanently retained. Thus, at the time when paper identification records would have been
eligible for destruction, automated FBI criminal identification records are transferred via magnetic
tape to NARA.
</p><p>D. Fingerprints submitted by state and local criminal justice agencies are removed from the
system and destroyed upon the request of the submitting agencies. The destruction of fingerprints
under this procedure results in the deletion from the system of all arrest information related to
those fingerprints.
</p><p>E. Fingerprints and related arrest data are removed from the Fingerprint Identification Records
System upon receipt of federal court orders for expunction when accompanied by necessary identifying
information. Recognizing lack of jurisdiction of local and state courts over an entity of the
federal government, the Fingerprint Identification Records System, as a matter of comity, destroys
fingerprints and related arrest data submitted by local and state criminal justice agencies upon
receipt of orders of expunction directed to such agencies by local and state courts when accompanied
by necessary identifying information.

<subsection type="routineUsesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>Currently, the NCAVC is administered by the FBI through its Training Division, located at
the FBI Academy, Quantico, Virginia. Its primary mission is to consolidate research, training, and
operational support activities for the express purposes of providing expertise to any legitimate law
enforcement agency confronted with unusual, bizarre, and/or particularly vicious or repetitive
violent crimes.
</p><p>Records described above are maintained in this system to permit the FBI to function efficiently
as an authorized, responsive component of the Department of Justice. Therefore, the information in
this system is disclosed to officials and employees of the Department of Justice, and/or all
components thereof, who need the information to perform their official duties.
</p><p>Information in this system may be disclosed as a routine use to any Federal, State, local, or
foreign government agency directly engaged in the criminal justice process where access is directly
related to a law enforcement function of the recipient agency in connection with the tracking
identification, and apprehension of persons believed to be engaged in repeated or exceptionally
violent acts of criminal behavior.
</p><p>Information in this system may be disclosed as a routine use in a proceeding before a court or
adjudicative body, e.g., the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Merit Systems
Protection Board, before which the FBI is authorized to appear, when (a) the FBI or any employee
thereof in his or her official capacity, or (b) any employee in his or her individual capacity where
the Department of Justice has agreed to represent the employee, or (c) the United States, where the
FBI determines it is likely to be affected by the litigation, is a party to litigation or has an
interest in litigation and such records are determined by the FBI to be relevant to the litigation.
</p><p>Information in this system may be disclosed as a routine use to an organization or individual in
both the public or private sector pursuant to an appropriate legal proceeding or, if deemed
necessary, to elicit information or cooperation from the recipient for use by the FBI in the
performance of an authorized activity. An example could be where the activities of an individual are
disclosed to a member of the public to elicit his/her assistance in FBI apprehension or detection
efforts.
</p><p>Information in this system may be disclosed as a routine use to an organization or individual in
the public or private sector where there is reason to believe the recipient is or could become the
target of a particular criminal activity or conspiracy and to the extent the information is relevant
to the protection of life or property.
</p><p>Relevant information may be disclosed from this system to the news media and general public where
there exists a legitimate public interest. Examples would include: To obtain public or media
assistance in the tracking, identifying, and apprehending of persons believed to be engaged in
repeated acts of violent criminal behavior; to notify the public and/or media of arrests; to protect
the public from imminent threat to life or property where necessary; and to disseminate information
to the public and/or media to obtain cooperation with violent crime research, evaluation, and
statistical programs.
</p><p>Information in this system may be disclosed as is necessary to appropriately respond to
congressional inquiries on behalf of constituents.
</p><p>A record from a system of records may be disclosed as a routine use to the National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA) in records management inspections conducted under the authority of 44
U.S.C. 2904 and 2906 to the extent that legislation governing the record permits.
</p><p>Pursuant to subsection (b)(3) of the Privacy Act, the Department of Justice may disclose relevant
and necessary information to a former employee of the Department for purposes of: responding to an
official inquiry by a federal, state, or local government entity or professional licensing
authority, in accordance with applicable Department regulations; or facilitating communications with
a former employee that may be necessary for personnel-related or other official purposes where the
Department requires information and/or consultation assistance from the former employee regarding a
matter within that person’s former area of responsibility.

<subsection type="policiesAndPractices"><xhtmlContent><p>Storage:</p>
<p>Information in the system is stored manually in locked file cabinets, either in its natural
state or on microfilm, at the NCAVC in Quantico, Virginia. The active main files are maintained in
hard copy form and some inactive records are maintained on microfilm.
</p><p>In addition, some of the information is stored in computerized data storage devices at the NCAVC
and FBI Computer Center in Washington, DC. Investigative information which is maintained in
computerized form may be stored in memory on disk storage on computer tape, or on computer printed
listings.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="retrievability"><xhtmlContent><p>On-line computer access to NCAVC files is achieved by using the following search
descriptors:
</p><p>A. A data base which contains the names of individuals, their birth dates, physical descriptions,
and other identification numbers such as FBI numbers, if such have been assigned.
</p><p>B. Summary variables contained on VICAP reports submitted to the NCAVC as previously described.
</p><p>C. Key words citations to violent crime research studies. scholarly journal articles, textbooks,

</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="safeguards"><xhtmlContent><p>Records are maintained in restricted areas and accessed only by FBI employees. All FBI
employees receive a complete pre-employment background investigation. All employees are cautioned
about divulging confidential information or any information contained in FBI files. Failure to abide
by this provision violates Department of Justice regulations and may violate certain statutes
providing maximum severe penalties of a ten thousand dollar fine or 10 years’ imprisonment or both.
Employees who resign or retire are also cautioned about divulging information acquired in the job.
</p><p>Registered mail is used to transmit routine hard copy records between field offices. Highly
classified records are hand carried by Special Agents or personnel of the Armed Forces Courier
Service. Highly classified or sensitive privacy information, which is electronically transmitted
between field offices and to and from FBI Headquarters, is transmitted in encrypted form to prevent
interception and interpretation.
</p><p>Information transmitted in teletype form between the NCAVC in Quantico, Virginia and the FBI
Computer Center in Washington, DC, is encrypted prior to transmission at both places to ensure
confidentiality and security of the data.
</p><p>FBI field offices involved in certain complicated, investigative matters may be provided with on-

information; but the system does not contain the case files themselves. Access to the case file
information must be gained by separate contact with the appropriate FBI office, outside this system,
after the system has been queried. The system will facilitate better exchange of drug law
enforcement information between and among the FBI and DEA, and such other law enforcement agencies
as may participate in the counterdrug investigative information sharing program which this system
serves.
</p><p>Only specified data fields from these records will be provided. Examples of data fields included
are name, case file number, race, sex, name identifiers (alias, true-name, main, reference,
individual, non-individual), locality indicators, date of birth, place of birth, ID numbers,
addresses, violation codes, investigative classification, and office of origin. Data fields from
cases also include status, date case was opened, date case was closed, and point-of-contact

</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="categoriesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>The following definitions are used in this notice:
</p><p>A. A DNA sample is a body tissue or fluid sample usually a blood and/or buccal sample, that can
be subjected to DNA analysis.
</p><p>B. A DNA profile consists of a set of DNA identification characteristics, i.e., the particular
chemical form at the various DNA locations (loci), which permit the DNA of one person to be
distinguishable from that of another person.
</p><p>C. A target DNA profile is a DNA profile submitted by a criminal justice agency for the purpose
of identifying DNA profiles maintained by NDIS which match the target DNA profile.
</p><p>D. A target DNA profile search is a search of appropriate NDIS DNA records for those records with
DNA profiles that may match the target DNA profile.
</p><p>E. Personally identifiable information is information such as names, dates of birth, or social
security numbers which are normally used to identify individuals. Personally identifiable
information, as used in this notice, does not include information derived from the examination of a
DNA sample.
</p><p>F. A DNA record includes the DNA profile as well as data required to manage and operate NDIS,
i.e., the NDIS Agency identifier which serves to identify the submitting agency; the NDIS Specimen
Identification Number; information related to the reliability and maintainability of the DNA
profiles; and names of the participating laboratories and DNA personnel associated with DNA profile
analyses.
</p><p>Records in this system do not include DNA samples but do include DNA profiles of persons
described under "Categories of Individuals Covered by the System"  in paragraph A-C. DNA
records are input by criminal justice agencies for use by the NDIS. NDIS includes the names of DNA
personnel associated with DNA profile analyses, the date after which DNA records from a given DNA
analyst can be accepted, and, when applicable, the date after which associated DNA records are not
accepted. NDIS does not contain case-related or other personally identifying information about the
person from whom the DNA sample was collected.
</p><p>DNA records are maintained as follows:
</p><p>1. The Convicted Offender Index, consisting of DNA records from convicted offenders;
</p><p>2. The Missing Persons Index, consisting of DNA records from missing persons;
</p><p>3. The Close Biological Relatives Index, consisting of DNA records from close biological
relatives of missing persons;
</p><p>4. The Unidentified Persons Index, consisting of DNA records from recovered living persons (e.g.,
children who can’t and others who can’t or refuse to identify themselves), and recovered dead
persons (including their body parts and tissues), whose identities are not known;
</p><p>5. The Victims Index, consisting of DNA records from victims, living or dead, from whom DNA may
have been carried away by perpetrators;
</p><p>6. The Forensic Index, consisting of DNA records from persons whose identities are not known with
certainty and who left DNA at the scene of a crime or whose DNA was carried away from it; and
</p><p>7. The Population File, consisting of DNA profiles intended to represent various population
segments found in the United States. The Population File consists of DNA records from individuals
whose identities may be: (a) Known to; (b) not known, but determinable under some circumstances by;
or (c) not known and not determinable by the criminal justice agency submitting the DNA records to
NDIS.

Stat. 1796.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="purpose"><xhtmlContent><p>The purpose of this system and the DNA records maintained in the system is to provide a
national storage medium for DNA records input by criminal justice agencies. These records can be
searched in order to identify DNA associations with a DNA record obtained during an investigation of
a crime or a missing person. The system is also maintained for statistical, identification research,
and protocol development and quality control purposes.
</p><p>In addition to DNA records, records about DNA personnel are maintained in the system. The
purposes of these DNA personnel records are to control the acceptance of DNA records by NDIS and to
facilitate criminal justice agency contracts required to resolve potential DNA matches.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="routineUsesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>1. Direct disclosures of NDIS records are made to the Federal, State, and local criminal
justice agencies who participate in NDIS. As a result of an NDIS search by a criminal justice
agency, the NDIS system analyzes the target DNA profile entered by the search agency and may
identify a potential match. Where NDIS identifies a potential match, the matching DNA’s records will
be disclosed to the criminal justice agencies associated with the match.
</p><p>2. The Federal statute which authorizes NDIS also provides that the FBI and other criminal
justice agencies participating in NDIS may make secondary or indirect disclosures of DNA records:
</p><p>(A) To criminal justice agencies for law enforcement identification purposes;
</p><p>(B) In judicial proceedings, if otherwise admissible pursuant to applicable statutes or rules;
</p><p>(C) For criminal defense purposes, to a defendant, who shall have access to samples and analyses
performed in connection with the case in which defendant is charged; or
</p><p>(D) If personally identifiable information is removed, for a population statistics database, for
identification research and protocol development purposes, or for quality control purposes.
</p><p><b>Note:</b> Personal information such as names are not found in NDIS. However, operational
identifiers such as the Specimen No., Criminal Justice Agency Identifier, and DNA Personnel
identifier, are contained in NDIS. Although unlikely, the identity of an individual could, under
some circumstances, be ascertained with the disclosure of such numbers for purposes stated in (D)
above. This is only possible when access to a criminal justice agency’s records is provided to the
holder of the operational identifiers. Therefore, to ensure that such associations are not made,
these operational numbers will be removed before disclosure for these purposes.
</p><p>3. A record may be disclosed from this system of records to the National Archives and Records
Administration and the General Services Administration in records management inspections conducted
under the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906, to the extent that legislation governing the records
permits.
</p><p>Pursuant to subsection (b)(3) of the Privacy Act, the Department of Justice may disclose relevant
and necessary information to a former employee of the Department for purposes of: responding to an
official inquiry by a federal, state, or local government entity or professional licensing
authority, in accordance with applicable Department regulations; or facilitating communications with
a former employee that may be necessary for personnel-related or other official purposes where the
Department requires information and/or consultation assistance from the former employee regarding a
matter within that person’s former area of responsibility.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="policiesAndPractices"><xhtmlContent><p>Storage:</p>
<p>Information maintained in NDIS is stored electronically for use in a computer environment.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="retrievability"><xhtmlContent><p>The primary method for retrieving information from NDIS is the target DNA profile search
described in the routine use disclosure provisions of this notice.
</p><p>The NDIS Custodian may retrieve records based on: the DNA profile, the NDIS Agency identifier,
the NDIS Specimen Identification Number, and/or DNA personnel identifier. Criminal justice agencies
with direct access to NDIS may retrieve their records by the NDIS Agency identifier, NDIS Specimen
Identification Number, or DNA personnel identifier but only to inspect, modify, or delete their own
DNA records.
</p><p>Since NDIS records contained in NDIS do not include personal identifiers of the individuals from
whom the DNA samples were collected, retrieval by personal identifiers of these record subjects is
not possible.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="safeguards"><xhtmlContent><p>All records in NDIS are protected from unauthorized access through appropriate
administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. These safeguards include restricting access to
those with a need-to-know to perform their official duties, using locks and alarm devices, and
encrypting data communications.
</p><p>No personally identifiable information about individuals who provided DNA samples is maintained
in NDIS. Therefore, names and personally identifiable information of NDIS DNA records cannot be
disclosed directly from NDIS. (NDIS does, however, maintain the names of NDA personnel.)
</p><p>NDIS will disclose to a criminal justice agency the DNA records of another criminal justice
agency only when there is a potential DNA match. Any additional disclosures of personally
identifiable information or other case-related data are made directly by the criminal justice
agencies from their own files and records, not from NDIS.
</p><p>Although ostensibly devoid of personally identifiable information, DNA records in NDIS contain an
NDIS Specimen Identification Number, NDIS Agency identifier, and a DNA personnel identifier for law
enforcement and/or general operational purposes. Since it is possible, in some circumstances, to use
those numbers together with the appropriate agency’s own records to identify the individuals
represented by the DNA records, additional precautions are taken.
</p><p>The precautions involve removal of the Specimen Identification Numbers, NDIS Agency identifiers,
and DNA personnel identifiers, prior to disclosure pursuant to the 2(D) routine use. (See the
"Routine Uses of Records Maintained in the System"  section of this notice.) Thus, NDIS will
periodically generate DNA profile data sets, consisting of anonymous DNA profiles, for population
statistics databases, for identification research and protocol development purposes, or for quality
control purposes.
</p><p>Criminal justice agencies are prohibited from submitting a DNA record for inclusion in the NDIS
Population File for investigative purposes. The only target DNA profile searches conducted against
the Population File are those necessary to eliminate duplicate DNA profiles representing the same
individual.
</p><p>Finally, criminal justice agencies with direct access to NDIS must agree to adhere to national
quality assurance standards for DNA testing, undergo semi-annual external proficiency testing, and
restrict access to DNA samples and data. The NDIS will not accept DNA analyses from those agencies
and/or DNA personnel who fail to comply with these standards and restrictions; and the NDIS
Custodian is authorized to restrict access to and delete any DNA records previously entered into the
system.

<subsection type="retentionAndDisposal"><xhtmlContent><p>DNA records generated by criminal justice agencies, together with the personal identifying
information of DNA personnel, shall be retained in NDIS as long as they are substantiated by
internal records of the submitting agency and are permitted either by consent, by judicial/criminal
justice authority, or by Federal, State, or local law. Records may be deleted by the originating
criminal justice agency or by other Federal, State, or local authorities who are responsible for
deleting any records that are no longer permitted or appropriate for retention in NDIS. DNA records
submitted to NDIS and then found to be inaccurate shall either be modified to achieve accuracy or
deleted from NDIS by the submitting agency.
</p><p>Agencies granted access to NDIS are required to establish and maintain a system of controls to
ensure that continued use of their DNA records in NDIS is lawfully permitted. Such a system of
controls shall ensure that DNA records in NDIS which are authorized by the consent of individuals,
for example, are retained in NDIS only for the duration and within the scope of the consent.
</p><p>The NDIS Custodian has the authority to determine that certain DNA records in NDIS should be
deleted or, alternatively, suspended from use for a period of time determined appropriate by the
NDIS Custodian. The criminal justice agencies whose records are affected by a determination to
delete or suspend records in NDIS shall be notified of this determination and the nature of the
deletion or suspension. The NDIS Custodian may subsequently decide to either restore or delete the
suspended records, and shall notify the affected agency of this subsequent determination.
</p><p>The DNA personnel identifier for a single individual is deleted from NDIS only after all DNA
records associated with that individual are deleted.

<subsection type="recordAccessProcedures"><xhtmlContent><p>This system of records has been exempted from subsection (d) and (e)(4)(H) pursuant to
subsection (j)(2) of the Privacy Act, and thus is exempt from its access provisions. NDIS does not
retain information that would allow the NDIS Custodian, independent of the agency which originated
the DNA record, to personally identify the record by name or other personal identifier. However,
subject to applicable Federal, State, and local law and procedures, the following alternative
procedures are available by which an individual may request access to records in NDIS.
</p><p>1. Subjects of DNA Records:
</p><p>a. Convicted Offender Records: The individual may contact the Federal, State or local authority
(the authorized agency) which ultimately received the collected DNA sample to obtain instructions on
how to access his/her record. The authorized agency has the DNA record, if one exists, including
information as to whether the DNA record has been submitted to NDIS. Only the authorized agency
would have information sufficiently specific to permit retrieval of the record from its files by
name or other personally identifiable information. The authorized agency may also retrieve the DNA
record, if any, that was submitted to NDIS, once locally specified requirements are met.
</p><p>In addition, where a convicted offender is relocated voluntarily or involuntarily to a criminal
justice agency (i.e., penal institution or parole and probation authorities) for custodial or
supervisory purposes in another State or jurisdiction, the DNA record may be created by the new host
criminal justice agency or other State (or Federal) authority from a DNA sample collected from the
Convicted Offender at the new host criminal justice agency or other State (or Federal) authority. In
such circumstances, the individual may contact such agency or authority for access instructions.
</p><p>b. Close Biological Relatives of Missing Persons and Victims; Living Victims; and Missing Persons
Who Have Been Located: These individuals must contact the criminal justice agency (Federal, State,
or local) which collected and processed the DNA sample to generate the DNA record. The criminal
justice agency can then advise the individual about procedures for access to the DNA record. Such
agency may also retrieve the DNA record, if any, that was submitted to NDIS, once locally specified
requirements are met.
</p><p>2. Records of DNA Personnel: These individuals may write to the Federal, State, or local criminal
justice agency by which they are or were employed.
</p><p>3. FBI generated records: The subject of an FBI-generated DNA record may address a Freedom of
Information/Privacy Act (FOIA/PA) request to the Director, FBI, at the address given at the end of
this paragraph. DNA personnel employed by the FBI may also address their requests to the system
manager; however, all the information in NDIS concerning DNA personnel is also contained in the
FBI’s Central Records System (CRS), which may contain additional information. To request access to
the CRS, DNA personnel may address an FOIA/PA request to the Director, FBI, U.S. Department of
Justice, J. Edgar Hoover Building, 935 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20535-0001.

following alternative procedures are available by which an individual may contest his/her records:
</p><p>1. All Subjects of DNA Records: The requester must follow the same procedures for contesting

aware of the following:
</p><p>a. DNA records submitted to NDIS and contested on the basis of inaccurate information must be
resolved with the criminal justice agency that submitted the DNA record NDIS. If a contested DNA
record is found to be inaccurate by the criminal justice agency submitting the DNA record, such
agency shall correct the inaccurate DNA record by either amending or deleting the record.
</p><p>b. DNA records submitted to NDIS and contested on the basis of the authority to retain the DNA
record must be resolved with the criminal justice agency that submitted the contested DNA record. If
such agency determines that the contested DNA records should not be included in NDIS, such agency
must delete the contested DNA record.

information may also be maintained in appeals files for those individuals who have requested the
reason for a denial or delay from the FBI, or from a law enforcement agency serving as a POC, and/or
challenged the accuracy or validity of a disqualifying record or otherwise inquired about a NICS
transaction. In cases of allowed transfers, all information in the NICS Audit Log related to the
person or the transfer, other than the NICS Transaction Number (a unique number assigned to each
valid background request inquiry) assigned to the transfer and the date the number was assigned,
will be destroyed after not more than 90 days after the transfer is allowed, provided that such
information may be retained for a longer period if necessary to pursue identified cases of misuse of
the system. In such cases, the system will not contain any details about the type of firearm which
is the subject of the proposed transfer (other than the fact that it is a handgun or long gun) or
whether a sale or transfer of a firearm has actually taken place.)
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="categoriesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>The "NICS Index"  is the only database maintained by the FBI which was created specifically
for the NICS. The NICS Index contains records obtained by the Attorney General from Federal agencies
or States on individuals who fall into the categories of individuals listed above under the heading
"CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM,"  C through G. These records contain an
individual’s name; sex; race; other personal descriptive data (such as scars and tattoos); complete
date of birth; state of residence; sometimes a unique identifying number, such as a Social Security
number (but NICS does not require it to be furnished), a military number, or a number assigned by
Federal, State, or local law enforcement authorities.
</p><p>The "NICS Audit Log"  is a chronological record of system (computer) activities that enables the
reconstruction and examination of a sequence of events and/or changes in an event related to the
NICS. With regard to a specific NICS transaction, the audit log will include: The name and other
identifying information about the prospective transferee; the type of transaction (inquiry or
response); line number; time; date of inquiry; header; message key; Originating Agency Identifier;
and inquiry/response data, such as a NICS Transaction Number (a unique number assigned to each valid
background request inquiry) and information found by the NICS search.
</p><p>In addition, the NICS contains information on persons that are FFLs (or claim to be). This
information includes the FFL name, address, phone numbers, ATF number, access code words, names of
authorized representatives and contact persons, and similar information used by the NICS to
identify, validate, and communicate with FFLs in the course of NICS operations.
</p><p>The NICS also contains "appeals records" which reflect inquiries by individuals regarding the
reason for a delay  or denial by the FBI or a POC, and/or challenges to the accuracy or validity of
a disqualifying record, or other types of inquiries made by individuals about a NICS transaction.

Title IV, 4060(a), Sep. 13, 1994, 105 Stat. 1950).
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="purpose"><xhtmlContent><p>The purpose of the NICS, which was established pursuant to the Brady Act, is to provide a
means of checking available information to determine whether a person is disqualified from
possessing a firearm under Federal or State law.
</p><p>Prior to the transfer of a firearm, a prospective transferee, not licensed under 18 U.S.C. 923,
must obtain a firearms transaction form from an FFL and provide the information required by the ATF.
The firearms transaction form is returned to the FFL, who is required by the Brady Act to contact
the NICS and furnish the name and certain other identifying data provided by the transferee. NICS
conducts a search which compares the information about the transferee with information in or
available to NICS.
</p><p>State and local law enforcement agencies may serve as Points of Contact (POCs) for the NICS.
Where there is no POC, the FBI’s NICS Operations Center serves in its place. The POC (or the NICS
Operations Center) receives inquiries from FFLs, initiates NICS background searches, may check
available state and local record systems, determines whether matching records provide information
demonstrating that an individual is disqualified from possessing a firearm under Federal or State
law, and responds back to the FFLs.
</p><p>In addition to a review of the NICS Index, a NICS search includes a review of the pre-existing,
separately-managed FBI criminal history databases of the National Crime Information Center (NCIC)
(JUSTICE/FBI-001), including the Interstate Identification Index (III), to the extent such
searches are possible with the available information. NCIC and III are cooperative Federal-State
programs for the exchange of criminal history record and other information among criminal justice
agencies to locate wanted and missing persons and for other identification purposes. The search
conducted of the NCIC and III, in conjunction with the search of the NICS Index, attempts to locate
only information indicating that an individual firearm transferee is identical to an individual in
one or more of categories A through J listed above under the heading CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS IN
THE SYSTEM, with the search of NCIC and III specifically directed towards locating information that
an individual is within categories A, B, C, D, H, and I.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="routineUsesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>The FBI may disclose relevant system records to the following persons or entities under the
circumstances or for the purposes described below, to the extent such disclosures are compatible
with the purpose for which the information was collected.  (Routine uses are not meant to be
mutually exclusive and may overlap in some cases.)
</p><p>A. Limited information may be provided by a POC or the NICS Operations Center to an FFL who has
contacted the NICS concerning a prospective firearm transferee. If a matching record found by the
NICS provides information demonstrating that the prospective transferee is disqualified from
possessing a firearm under Federal or State law, the FFL will be notified only that the application
is "denied,"  with none of the underlying information provided. If additional record analysis is
required by the NICS representative (e.g to confirm that a record relates to the potential
transferee or to pursue supplemental information to clarify whether the potential transferee is
disqualified from receiving a firearm), the response may read "delayed"  and may include an
estimated time for completing the analysis. If no disqualifying record is located by the NICS, the
FFL will be told that it may "proceed."  A unique identification number will be provided to the FFL
for all responses received from the NICS, which number shall be recorded on the firearms transaction
form.
</p><p>B. Information in the NICS may be provided through the NCIC lines to Federal criminal justice
agencies, criminal justice agencies in the fifty States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S.
Possessions, and U.S. Territories, including POCs and contributors of information in the NICS Index,
to enable them to determine whether the transfer of a firearm to any person not licensed under 18
U.S.C. 923 would be in violation of Federal or State law; whether the issuance of a license or
permit for the possession or sale of a firearm or firearms, or to carry a concealed firearm, or to
import, manufacture, deal in, or purchase explosives would be in violation of Federal or State law
or regulation; whether appeals from denials should be granted or denied; and whether to add to,
delete from, revise, or update information previously provided by the contributor. This includes
responding to inquiries by the ATF in connection with enforcement of the Gun Control Act (18 U.S.C.
Chapter 44), or the National Firearms Act (26 U.S.C. Chapter 53).
</p><p>C. If, during the course of any activity or operation of the system authorized by the regulations
governing the system (28 CFR, part 25, subpart A), any record is found by the system which
indicates, either on its face or in conjunction with other information, a violation or potential
violation of law (whether criminal or civil) and/or regulation, the pertinent record may be
disclosed to the appropriate agency/organization/task force (whether Federal, State, local, joint,
or tribal) and/or to the appropriate foreign or international agency/organization charged with the
responsibility of investigating, prosecuting, and/or enforcing such law or regulation, e.g.,
disclosure of information from the system to the ATF, United States Department of Treasury,
regarding violations or potential violations of 18 U.S.C. 922(a)(6).  (This routine use does not
apply to the NICS Index.)
</p><p>D. System records may be disclosed to contractors, grantees, experts, consultants, volunteers,
detailees, and other non-FBI employees performing or working on a contract, service, grant,
cooperative agreement, or job for the Federal Government when necessary to accomplish an agency
function related to this system of records and under requirements (including Privacy Act
requirements) specified by the FBI.
</p><p>E. System records may be disclosed to the news media or members of the general public or to a
victim or potential victim in furtherance of a legitimate law enforcement or public safety function,
e.g., to assist in locating fugitives; to provide notification of arrests; to provide alerts,
assessments, or similar information on potential threats to life, health, or property; or to keep
the public appropriately informed of other law enforcement or FBI matters of legitimate public
interest. (The availability of information in pending criminal cases will be governed by the
provisions of 28 CFR 50.2.) (This routine use does not apply to the NICS Index.)
</p><p>F. Where the disclosure of system records has been determined by the FBI to be reasonable and
necessary to resolve a matter in litigation or in anticipation thereof, such records may be
disclosed to a court or adjudicative body, before which the FBI is authorized to appear, when: (a)
The FBI or any FBI employee in his or her official capacity; (b) any FBI employee in his or her
individual capacity where the Department of Justice has agreed to represent the employee; or (c) the
United States, where the FBI determines it is likely to be affected by the litigation, is or could
be a party to the litigation, or has an official interest in the litigation.
</p><p>G. System records may be made available to a Member of Congress or staff acting on the Member’s
behalf when the Member or staff requests the information on behalf and at the written request of the
individual who is the subject of the record.
</p><p>H. System records may be disclosed to the National Archives and Records Administration for
records management inspections and such other purposes conducted under the authority of 44 U.S.C.
2904 and 2906.
</p><p>I.  Information pertaining to individuals who have been denieda firearm by the NICS may be
disclosed, either electronically or otherwise, to a federal, state, local, joint, tribal, foreign,
international, or other p[ublic agency/organization where such disclosure may promote, assist, or
otherwise serve law enforcement interests.  By way of example and not limitation, such disclosures
may, for instance, include posting all NICS denials on a centralized database that would be
electronically accessible tolaw enforcement agencies.
</p><p>J. Information in the NICS Audit Log (including records of approved and denied transfers) may be
disclosed to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) in connection with ATF’s inspections
of Federal Firearms Licensee records.
</p><p>Pursuant to subsection (b)(3) of the Privacy Act, the Department of Justice may disclose relevant
and necessary information to a former employee of the Department for purposes of: responding to an
official inquiry by a federal, state, or local government entity or professional licensing
authority, in accordance with applicable Department regulations; or facilitating communications with
a former employee that may be necessary for personnel-related or other official purposes where the
Department requires information and/or consultation assistance from the former employee regarding a
matter within that person’s former area of responsibility.

Access Procedures." If, however, individuals are experiencing repeated delays or difficulties
during a government screening process and believe that this might be related to terrorist watch list
information, they may contact the Federal agency that is conducting the screening process in
question ("screening agency"). The screening agency is in the best position to determine
if a particular problem relates to a terrorist watch list entry or is due to some other cause, such
as a criminal history, an immigration violation or random screening. Some individuals also
experience repeated delays during screening because their names and/or other identifying data, such
as dates of birth, are similar to those of known or suspected terrorists. These individuals,
referred to as "misidentified persons," often believe that they themselves are on a
terrorist watch list, when in fact they only bear a similarity in name or other identifier to an
individual on the list. Most screening agencies have or are developing procedures to expedite the
clearance of misidentified persons during screening. By contacting the screening agency with a
complaint, individuals will be able to take advantage of the procedures available to help
misidentified persons and others experiencing screening problems. Check the agency’s requirements
for submitting complaints but, at a minimum, individuals should describe in as much detail as
possible the problem they are having, including dates and locations of screening, and provide
sufficient information to identify themselves, such as full name, citizenship status, and date and
place of birth. The TSC assists the screening agency in resolving any screening complaints that may
relate to terrorist watch list information, but does not receive or respond to individual complaints
directly. However, if TSC receives any such complaints, TSC will forward them to the appropriate
screening agency. Additional information about the redress process and how to file a complaint with

what information is being contested, the reasons for contesting it, and the proposed amendment to
the information sought. The envelope and letter should be clearly marked "Privacy Act
Amendment Request" and comply with 28 CFR 16.46 (Request for Amendment or Correction of
Records). Some information may be exempt from contesting record procedures as described in the
section entitled "Exemptions Claimed for the System." An individual who is the subject
of a record in this system may amend those records that are not exempt. A determination whether a
record may be amended will be made at the time a request is received.

<subsection type="recordSourceCategories"><xhtmlContent><p>Information provided by Federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, and foreign law

<subsection type="exemptionsClaimed"><xhtmlContent><p>The Attorney General has exempted this system from subsections (c)(3) and (4); (d)(1), (2),
(3), and (4); (e)(1), (2), (3), (4)(G), (H) and (I), (5) and (8); (f); and (g) of the Privacy Act.
The exemptions will be applied only to the extent that information in a record is subject to
exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j) and/or (k). Rules are being promulgated in accordance with
the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553(b), (c) and (e) and are published in today’s <i>Federal Register</i>. In addition, the DOJ will continue in effect and assert all exemptions claimed under 5 U.S.C.
552a(j) or (k) (or other applicable authority) by an originating agency from which the DOJ obtains
records, where one or more reasons underlying an original exemption remain valid. Where compliance
with an exempted provision could not appear to interfere with or adversely affect interests of the
United States or other system stakeholders, the DOJ in its sole discretion may waive an exemption in
whole or in part; exercise of this discretionary waiver prerogative in a particular matter shall not
create any entitlement to or expectation of waiver in that matter or any other matter. As a
condition of discretionary waiver, the DOJ in its sole discretion may impose any restrictions deemed
advisable by the DOJ (including, but not limited to, restrictions on the location, manner, or scope
of notice, access or amendment).

</p><p>--Law Enforcement: In the event that a system of records maintained by the FCSC to carry out
its functions indicates a violation or potential violation of law, whether civil or criminal or
regulatory in nature and whether arising by general statute or particular program statute or order
issued pursuant thereto, the relevant records in the system of records may be referred, as a routine
use, to the appropriate agency, whether Federal, State, local or foreign, charged with enforcing or
implementing the statute, rule, regulation or order issued pursuant thereto.
</p><p>--A record, or any facts derived therefrom, may be disclosed in a proceeding before a court
or adjudicative body before which the FCSC is authorized to appear or to the Department of Justice
for use in such proceeding when:
</p><p>i. The FCSC, or any subdivision thereof, or
</p><p>ii. Any employee of the FCSC in his or her official capacity, or
</p><p>iii. Any employee of the FCSC in his or her official capacity where the Department of Justice has
agreed to represent the employee, or
</p><p>iv. The United States, where the FCSC determines that the litigation is likely to affect it or
any of its subdivisions, is a party to litigation or has an interest in litigation and such records
are determined by the FCSC to be arguably relevant and necessary to the litigation and such
disclosure is determined by the FCSC to be a use compatible with the purpose for which the records
were collected.

entitled "Alien Status Verification Index"  (ASVI), JUSTICE/INS-009 (known as the "primary
verification" ). Specifically, INS is asked to compare the entitlement agency’s paper record, Form G
-845 (which contains information provided by the immigrant aliens applying for Federal
entitlements), with INS paper records; complete the Form relative to immigration status; and return
it to the entitlement agency. The SVAL, JUSTICE/INS-016 system is maintained to track the

</p><p>Specifically, the NFC may effect employee pay or deposit funds on behalf of DOJ employees, and/or
it may withhold, collect or offset funds from employee salaries as required by law or as necessary
to correct overpayment or amounts due. For example, the NFC will routinely make the necessary
disclosures to the Treasury Department for the issuance of payments; to Federal, State, and local
authorities and the Social Security Administration for tax withholding; to OPM for retirement
contributions; and, according to employee directions, to the appropriate financial institutions,
charitable organizations, unions, health carriers, or other appropriate entities to effect such pay
distributions as savings bonds, charitable contributions, allotments, alimony, child support, union
dues, health and life insurance, and TSP contributions. In addition, the NFC will use the data to
perform related administrative activities such as to certify payroll vouchers chargeable to DOJ

determine the identity or location of a current or former Federal employee to collect debts owed,
where collection of such debts are authorized (either by statute, implementing regulation, or order
issued pursuant thereto) and the individual, organization, or agency, has provided sufficient
evidence as will reasonably validate such claims, e.g., where a spouse or creditor seeking to obtain
a garnishment of wages for such purposes as alimony and/or child support has provided a court order
to substantiate the indebtedness. Information relevant to the request for such garnishment may
include informing the individual, organization, or agency of the unavailability of funds where, for
example, a currently active garnishment precludes the implementation of a further garnishment.
</p><p>E. To the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE), Administration for Children and Families,
Department of Health and Human Services, any information specifically required by statute or
implementing regulation or otherwise determined to be necessary and proper for OCSE’s use (as
outlined more specifically in relevant OCSE published Privacy Act systems of records) in locating
individuals owing child support obligations, and in establishing and collecting child support
obligations from such individuals, including enforcement action. Information disclosed may include:
name, address, date of birth, date of hire, duty station, and social security number of the
employee; the wages paid to the employee during the previous quarter; and the appropriate address

in connection with administering unemployment, workers’ compensation, or other benefit programs; and
similarly, to such agencies to obtain information that may assist the Department of Justice in
performing its lawful responsibilities as they relate to such benefit programs.
</p><p>G. To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when (1) The Department suspects or has
confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in the system of records has been
compromised; (2) the Department has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed
compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or
harm to the security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs (whether maintained by
the Department or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; and (3) the
disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in
connection with the Department’s efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and
prevent, minimize or remedy such harm.
</p><p>H. Where a record, either on its face or in conjunction with other information indicates a
violation or potential violation of law--criminal, civil, or regulatory in nature--the
relevant records may be referred to the appropriate Federal, State, local, foreign, or tribal, law
enforcement authority or other appropriate agency charged with the responsibility of investigating
or prosecuting such a violation or enforcing or implementing such law.

services to recover indebtedness owed to the United States. Addresses of taxpayers obtained from the
IRS will also be disclosed, but only where necessary to locate such taxpayer to collect or
compromise a Federal claim.
</p><p>K. To a Federal, State, local, or foreign agency or to an individual or organization if there is
reason to believe that such agency, individual, or organization possesses information relating to
the debt, the identity or location of the debtor, the debtor’s ability to pay, or relating to any
other matter which is relevant and necessary to the settlement, effective litigation and enforced
collection of the debt, or relating to the civil action trial or hearing, and the disclosure is
reasonably necessary to elicit such information or to obtain the cooperation of a witness or an
agency.
</p><p>L. To employers to effect salary or administrative offsets to satisfy a debt owed the United
States by that person; or when other collection efforts have failed, to the IRS to effect an offset
against an income tax refund otherwise due.
</p><p>M. To the news media and the public pursuant to 28 CFR 50.2 unless it is determined that release
of the specific information in the context of a particular case would constitute an unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy.
</p><p>N. To a Member of Congress or staff acting upon the Member’s behalf when the Member or staff
requests the information on behalf of, and at the request of, an individual who is the subject of
the record.
</p><p>O. To the National Archives and Records Administration for purposes of records management
inspections conducted under the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.
</p><p>P. In an appropriate proceeding before a court, or administrative or adjudicative body, when the
Department of Justice determines that the records are arguably relevant to the proceeding; or in an
appropriate proceeding before an administrative or adjudicative body when the adjudicator holds the
records to be relevant to the proceeding.
</p><p>Q. To an actual or potential party to litigation or the party’s authorized representative for the
purpose of negotiation or discussion on such matters as settlement, plea bargaining, or in informal
discovery proceedings.
</p><p>R. To contractors, grantees, experts, consultants, students, and others performing or working on
a contract, service, grant, cooperative agreement, or other assignment for the Federal government,
when necessary to accomplish an agency function related to this system of records.

Federal, State, or local government entity or professional licensing authority, in accordance with
applicable Department regulations; or facilitating communications with a former employee that may be
necessary for personnel-related or other official purposes where the Department requires information
and/or consultation assistance from the former employee regarding a matter within that person’s
former area of responsibility.
</p><p>Consistent with the foregoing routine use provisions, the Department may disclose records from
this system of records for use in a computer matching program (as defined in the Privacy Act, 5
U.S.C. 552a (a)(8)). In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act, the public will be
given advance notice in the <i>Federal Register</i> of the Department’s participation in any such
computer matching program(s).
</p><p>In addition to the above routine use disclosures under subsection (b)(3) of the Privacy Act, the
DOJ may make relevant and necessary disclosures as permitted by other Privacy Act disclosure
provisions.
</p><p>Finally, 31 U.S.C. 3711 requires that the notice required by the Privacy Act at 5 U.S.C. 552a (e)
(4) must indicate that information in the system may be disclosed to a consumer reporting agency
pursuant to subsection (b)(12). Such notice is provided as follows:
</p><p>Notice of Disclosure to Consumer Reporting Agencies Under Subsection (b)(12) of the Privacy Act:
Records relating to the identity of debtors and the history of claims may be disseminated to
consumer reporting agencies to encourage payment of the past-due debt. Such disclosures will be made
only when a claim is overdue and only after due process steps have been taken to notify the debtor
and give him or her a chance to meet the terms of the debt.
</p><p>(Any disclosures that may be made for debt collection purposes, whether made pursuant to
subsection (b)(3) or (b)(12) of the Privacy Act, would be made only when all the relevant due
process or procedural steps established by the relevant statutes and implementing regulations have
been taken.)

the parking and transportation benefit programs of the Department of Justice and other federal
agencies by validating parking assignments and transportation benefit program requests.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="routineUsesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>Relevant records may be disclosed:
</p><p>(1) As is necessary to respond to congressional inquiries on behalf of constituents;
</p><p>(2) To the National Archives and Records Administration in records management inspections
conducted under the authority of Title 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906;
</p><p>(3) To DOJ employees to enable them to contact other individuals covered by this system of
records for the purpose of forming or participating in car/vanpool.
</p><p>(4) To federal agencies and/or to the Metropolitan Council of Governments, and similar
organizations, to enable such organizations--through coordinating efforts with other federal
agencies--to provide information to any person for the purpose of contacting any individuals
covered by this system of records in order to form or participate in a car/vanpool. Disclosure may
include a list of program participants or, where appropriate, it may relate to only one or multiple
individuals.
</p><p>(5) To state transportation organizations, in summary form, in compliance with Clean Air Act
requirements and Departmental guidelines.
</p><p>(6) To federal agencies and DOJ parking and transportation benefit program managers. Parking
spaces may be assigned according to a variety of established priorities among federal agencies and,
in some instances, according to specific criteria, e.g., carpools with the greatest number of
participants (except in a tie). Therefore, these disclosures would enable other federal agencies and
DOJ to review the validity of parking space assignments, identify and take appropriate action with
respect to those who violate parking assignment policies (as set forth in published agency operating
procedures and policies), and thus allocate spaces fairly. In addition, because transportation
benefits are offered to encourage the use of public transportation for those not allocated parking
privileges, such disclosures would also enable other federal agencies and DOJ to ensure that both
parking privileges and transportation benefits are not provided to the same employee(s), unless
otherwise authorized.
</p><p>(7) To federal agencies, DOJ may also provide information as follows:
</p><p>DOJ Employee Information:
</p><p>(a) Upon request, either a list of DOJ employees, or an affirmative, negative or "non-DOJ
employee"  response as to whether or not a DOJ employee(s) (or name represented to be a DOJ
employee)--is listed as a participant (or as an applicant) in DOJ’s  parking or transportation
benefit programs; or is authorized to use a DOJ vehicle for home-to-work transportation (or has
requested such authorization). Disclosure is made to enable that federal agency to determine or
validate a DOJ employee’s eligibility to participate in its parking program.
</p><p>(b) Upon DOJ initiative, either a DOJ employee name(s) or a list on which DOJ employees are named
as participants (or as applicants) in DOJ’s parking or transportation benefit programs, or as
employees authorized to use a DOJ vehicle for home-to-work transportation (or as employees who have
requested such authorization). Disclosure is made to elicit an affirmative or negative response as
to whether such DOJ employee(s) participate with another federal agency employee in that agency’s
parking program (or have requested such participation), and thus enable DOJ to determine or validate
DOJ employee eligibility for any form of DOJ parking privileges, or for DOJ transportation benefits.
</p><p>Other Federal Agency Employee Information:
</p><p>(c) Upon request, either a list of another federal agency’s employees or an affirmative or
negative response as to whether or not such employee(s) participate (or have requested
participation) in DOJ’s parking program. Disclosure is made to enable that agency to determine or
validate eligibility for any form of parking privileges, or transportation benefits, for its
employees.
</p><p>(d) Upon DOJ initiative, either a federal agency employee name(s) or a list on which such
agency’s employee(s) are named as participating in DOJ’s parking program (or has requested such
participation). Disclosure is made to elicit from that agency an affirmative, negative, or "non-
employee"  response as to whether such employee(s) participate (or have requested participation) in
that agency’s parking or transportation benefit programs, or are authorized to use a vehicle for
home-to-work transportation (or have requested such authorization), and thus enable DOJ to determine
or validate other federal agency employee eligibility to participate in DOJ’s parking program.
</p><p>(e) To the Internal Revenue Service any document which provides information related to tax
matters.
</p><p>Non-Federal Employee Information:
</p><p>(f) Upon request, either the name(s) of non-federal employees, a list of names or a list which
includes their name(s). Disclosure is made to enable to the agency to determine whether a non-
federal employee may also be listed as a rider in DOJ’s parking program and, as a result, enable the
agency to determine or validate parking permit eligibility for its employees.
</p><p>(g) Upon DOJ initiative, either the name(s) of non-federal employees, a list of names, or a list
which includes their name(s). Disclosure is made to enable the DOJ to determine whether a non-
federal employees may also be listed as a rider in that agency’s parking program and, as a result,
enable the DOJ to determine or validate parking permit eligibility for DOJ employees.
</p><p>(8) To contractors, grantees, experts, consultants, students, and others performing or working on
a contract, service, grant, cooperative agreement, or other assignment for the Federal Government,
when necessary to accomplish an agency function related to this system of records.
</p><p>(9) Pursuant to subsection (b)(3) of the Privacy Act, the Department of Justice may disclose
relevant and necessary information to a former employee of the Department for purposes of:
Responding to an official inquiry by a federal, state, or local government entity or professional
licensing authority, in accordance with applicable Department regulations; or facilitating
communications with a former employee that may be necessary for personnel-related or other official
purposes where the Department requires information and/or consultation assistance from the former
employee regarding a matter within that person’s former area of responsibility.

<subsection type="exemptionsClaimed"><xhtmlContent><p>The Privacy Act authorizes an agency to  promulgate
rules to exempt any system of records (or part of a system of records) from certain Privacy Act
requirements, if the system of records is maintained by an agency which performs as its principal
function any activity pertaining to the enforcement of criminal laws (5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2)); it is
investigatory material compiled for law enforcement purposes (5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2)); or it is
required by Executive Order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policy
(5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1).
</p><p>Under these authorities, the Attorney General has promulgated rules to exempt those records in
this system that pertain to the enforcement of criminal laws, that are investigatory materials
compiled for law enforcement purposes, or that are classified secret by an Executive Order, from the
following Privacy Act requirements: (1) The requirement under (c)(3) to make available to the
individual named in the record an accounting of the circumstances under which records about the
individual were disclosed; (2) the requirement under (e)(1) to maintain only such information about
an individual that is relevant and necessary to accomplish a purpose of the agency; and (3) the
requirement under (f) to establish agency procedures to respond to an individual’s request for
information about himself. The Attorney General also has promulgated a rule to exempt records in
this system compiled for criminal enforcement purposes from these additional requirements: (1) The
requirement under (c)(4) to inform any party or agency that received an individual’s records about
any subsequent corrections made to the record; (2) the requirement under (e)(2) to collect
information to the greatest extent practicable directly from the individual when the information may
result in adverse determinations about an individual’s rights, benefits and privileges under Federal
programs; (3) the requirement under (e)(3) to inform each individual from whom information is
collected of the authority for the information the principal purposes for the information, the
routine uses, and the effects, if any, of not providing the information; (4) the requirement under
(e)(5) to maintain all records with such accuracy, relevance, timeliness and completeness as is
reasonably necessary to assure fairness to the individual, (5) the requirement under (e)(8) to make
reasonable efforts to serve notice on an individual when any record on the individual is made
available to any person under compulsory legal process when that process becomes a matter of public
record; and (6) the authority under (g) providing that individuals may bring a civil action against
the agency for violations of the Privacy Act.

</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="categoriesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>Records may contain any information, including but not limited to personal identification
data, which may assist the National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) in fulfilling its
responsibilities to collect, consolidate, analyze, and coordinate multi-source drug intelligence
data from all national security and law enforcement agencies; to produce information regarding the
structure, finances, communications and activities of drug trafficking organizations and their
memberships; and to make such information available, as appropriate, to domestic and foreign law
enforcement agencies and to agencies of the U.S. foreign intelligence community. Information will
include any data that may assist law enforcement agencies and agencies of the U.S. foreign
intelligence community in executing their responsibilities with respect to counterdrug enforcement,
including identification, location, arrest and prosecution of persons for narcotics trafficking and
related activities and civil proceedings related to such enforcement activities. Such information
may be derived from investigative and intelligence reports prepared by law enforcement agencies and
agencies of the U.S. foreign intelligence community, from documents or other record media seized by
law enforcement agencies and made available to NDIC for exploitation, and publicly available
information such as media reports and commercially acquired data bases. Records may also include
information on persons not implicated in narcotics trafficking or related activities, but with

<subsection type="purpose"><xhtmlContent><p>This system serves two primary purposes. The first is to facilitate the mission of the OCDETF Program, which
is to reduce the illegal drug supply by identifying, disrupting, and dismantling the most significant
international and domestic drug supply and money laundering organizations and related criminal operations
(e.g., arms traffickers, alien smugglers, terrorists). The second purpose of this system is to facilitate the
mission of the International Organized Crime Intelligence and Operations Center (IOC-2) and its member
agencies to significantly disrupt and dismantle those international criminal organizations posing the greatest
threat to the United States. Recognizing the demonstrated interrelationship between criminal organizations that
engage in illicit drug trafficking (and related criminal activities) and those that engage in international
organized crime, involving a broader variety of criminal activity, the IOC-2 and OCDETF formed a
partnership to facilitate both OCDETF and IOC-2 mission needs by collocating multi-source criminal law
enforcement and intelligence data for the compilation, fusion, storage, and comprehensive analysis of drug,
international organized crime, financial, and related investigative information. Using this system, the OCDETF
Fusion Center/IOC-2 develop investigative leads, operational intelligence products, and strategic
intelligence assessments on new or evolving threats for dissemination as appropriate to cognizant law
enforcement, regulatory, intelligence, and military agencies to assist them in enforcing criminal, civil, and
regulatory laws related to drug trafficking, money laundering, firearms trafficking, alien smuggling, organized
crime, terrorism, and other crimes, including the identification, apprehension, and prosecution of individuals
who threaten the United States’ national and international security interests through their involvement in such
crimes.

<p>The indices are maintained on 5 x 7 cards in a master subject-matter index on all Office of
Legal Counsel memoranda, opinions, correspondence, testimony and other writings. In addition, to
facilitate Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Act searches, an alphabetical assortment of cards has
been established within the immigration and conflict of interest opinion indices which contain the
names of individuals who are the subjects of these opinions. These are, in effect, cross-indices to
a small portion of the Office of Legal Counsel’s overall opinions that are otherwise indexed and
retrieved according to subject matter. These indices are maintained to assist in the retrieval of
opinions and memoranda from chronological files. However, because the system is undergoing gradual
conversion to a computerized system to facilitate legal research, some opinions are also now stored
on magnetic disks. Even though the software design creates the capability for name retrieval, the
purpose of the design is to facilitate retrieval by legal subject matter and the Office of Legal
Counsel will continue to utilize the system in this manner.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="retrievability"><xhtmlContent><p>The alphabetical card index on conflict of interest and immigration opinions will be
retrieved by name. In addition, while that information which has been entered into the computer to
date may be retrieved by name, all information, except that on conflict of interest and immigration
opinions, will ordinarily continue to be retrieved by legal subject matter since the Office seldom
has need to focus on a name in legal research.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="safeguards"><xhtmlContent><p>Index cards and chronological files are kept in locked offices when unattended. Access is
restricted to those personnel with a need to know.
</p><p>The compilation of Office of Legal Counsel opinions available on magnetic tape is subject to two
access limitations designed to insure that only authorized personnel of the Office of Legal Counsel
have access. First, the opinions in the computer system can be retrieved only by those persons
having a specified identification number, and numbers are assigned only to personnel of the Office
of Legal Counsel. Second, there is an access code word in addition to the identification number
required for access to the opinions, and the code word is made known only to the Office of Legal
Counsel personnel.
</p><p>During the period in which new opinions are being computerized an exception to these access
restrictions is made so that the contracting assistant in the Justice Management Division who is
overseeing the computerization also has access to the opinions.

The appeal docket includes the data and type of appeal in addition to much of the above data. These
provide a continual running record of the basic data elements per inmate and former inmate. Docket
sheets are used to input this information into a computer program which produces printouts of
identical information and certain statistical reports. (b) Hearing schedules--Shortly after
inmates are incarcerated, their names appear on an eligibility list prepared by the Bureau of
Prisons, for initial parole hearings. Following the hearing, the Commission may order that the
inmate be denied parole, granted a presumptive parole date, granted an effective (within six months)
parole date or continued to a 15 year reconsideration hearing. Other types of hearings and reviews
are provided for in the Code of Federal Regulations as part of parole, rescission or revocation
procedures. All of the different types of hearings and reviews are placed on schedules for examiners
to process when they visit the various institutions or hold "local"  hearings. The data elements are

<subsection type="purpose"><xhtmlContent><p>The system constitutes the agency’s records upon which it bases all its decisions with
respect to every stage of parole consideration from initial hearing to termination of parole
supervision. For example, it is used by USPC hearing examiners to perform a prehearing review and to
conduct the inmate’s initial parole hearing. After that hearing, it is maintained in the appropriate
regional office where it provides the principal information source for all decisions leading to
parole or denial of parole, and all decisions following release to supervision. It is used at USPC
headquarters when appeals come before the National Appeals Board or when needed by legal counsel and
others on the headquarters staff. It is used by employees at all levels, including USPC members, to
provide information for decisionmaking in every area of USPC responsibility. Files of released
inmates are used to make statistical studies of subjects related to parole and revocation. Finally,
the file is maintained to provide the rationale of USPC actions when an agency determination is
questioned by members of the public or challenged in judicial proceedings.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="routineUsesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>(a) The system may be used as a source for disclosure of information which is solely a
matter of public record and which is traditionally released by the agency to further public
understanding of its criminal justice system, including but not limited to offense, sentence data,
and prospective release date.
</p><p>(b) The system may be used to provide an informational source for responding to inquiries from
Federal inmates, their families, representatives, and Congressional offices.
</p><p>(c) Record from the system of records may be routinely disclosed to U.S. Probation Officers for
the performance of their official duties.
</p><p>(d) In the event that the USPC is informed of a violation or suspected violation of law whether
civil, criminal or regulatory in nature, and whether arising by general statute, or by regulation,
rule or order issued pursuant thereto, the relevant records may be disclosed to the appropriate
agency, whether Federal, State, local or foreign, charged with the responsibility of investigating
or prosecuting such violation or charged with enforcing or implementing the statute, or rule,
regulation or order, issued pursuant thereto.
</p><p>(e) Records from this system may be disclosed to a Federal, State or local agency or court if
that agency or court requests information for an official purpose to which the documents appear to
be relevant.
</p><p>(f) A record from this system may be disclosed to a person or to persons who may be exposed to
harm through contact with a particular parolee or mandatory releasee (or to persons in a position to
prevent or minimize such harm), if it is deemed to be necessary to give notice that such danger
exists.
</p><p>(g) Lists of names of parolees and mandatory releasees entering a jurisdiction and related
information may be disclosed to law enforcement agencies upon request as may be required for the
protection of the public for the enforcement of parole conditions.
</p><p>(h) Disclosure of USPC notices of action may be made (1) by the Office of Public Affairs of the
U.S. Department of Justice to the public generally, and (2) by USPC to specific crime victims and
witnesses (as those terms are used in the Victim and Witness Protection Act of 1982), from the files
of prisoners whose applications for parole have been decided by USPC. The purpose of such disclosure
is to further understanding of the criminal justice system by the public and by crime victims and
witnesses.
</p><p>(i) Incidental disclosure of file material may be made during the course of a parole or parole
revocation hearing to victims and witnesses of crime and other legitimately interested persons
authorized by USPC to attend such hearing, so as to further their understanding of the case to
permit their intelligent comment with respect to USPC’s decision.
</p><p>(j) Records which are arguably relevant to litigation in which the Parole Commission has an
interest, or to the litigation defense of its present or former employees (if the Department of
Justice has agreed to provide representation) may be disclosed from a current or former inmates’s or
parolee’s file by disseminating in proceeding before a court or tribunal at any time deemed
appropriate by the Government’s attorney.
</p><p>(k) A record from this system of records may be disclosed to a current or former criminal justice
official who is a defendant in a lawsuit brought by, or which involves, an individual who is the
subject of a file maintained in this system of records, provided that such litigation arises from
allegations of misconduct on the part of the defendant while a criminal justice official, and that
the records are arguably relevant to the matter in litigation. Such records may be disclosed to the
defendant to facilitate the preparation of his or her defense.
</p><p>(l) Records from this system may be disclosed to any person performing any service for the USPC
pursuant to authority exercised by the Chairman under 18 U.S.C. 4204(b)(1) through (8), and for the
purposes contemplated by that statute.
</p><p>(m) A record relating to the identification and location of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-
positive parolees (those who test positive for the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome virus) may be
disseminated to State or local health departments where permitted by State law.
</p><p>(n) Where the Commission or supervising probation office believes that a specific person is or
has been exposed to a medically recognized risk from an HIV-positive parolee and has not been
advised of such risk, a record relating to the identification of that parolee may be released to the
parolee’s physician or State or local health authorities for the purpose of determining if the
physician or health authorities are willing to provide a warning to the third-party at risk and, if
willing, for the purpose of providing such a warning.
</p><p>(o) A record relating to the identification of an HIV-positive parolee may be made to a third
party where it is believed that such third party is or has been exposed to medically recognized type
of risk from an HIV-positive parolee and has not been advised of such risk. Such disclosures under
this routine use would be made only where the parolee’s physician or State or local health
authorities are unable or unwilling to make such a warning to the third party; such disclosures will
be made discreeting and as a confidential communication.
</p><p>(p) To the extent not prohibited by State law, a record relating to the identification and
location of an HIV-positive parolee may be disseminated to those medical facilities, State or local
health departments, community organizations or similar groups capable of providing medical help or
counseling to HIV-positive parolees.
</p><p>(q) A record relating to the identification of an HIV-positive parolee may be released to the
United States Marshal when the Commission issues a parole violator warrant for the arrest of an HIV-
positive parolee.
</p><p>(r) Information permitted to be released to the news media and the public pursuant to 28 CFR 50.2
may be made available unless it is determined that release of the specific information in the
context of a particular case would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
</p><p>(s) Information nor otherwise required to be released pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552 may be made
available to a Member of Congress or staff acting upon the Member’s behalf when the Member or staff
requests the information on behalf of and at the request of the individual who is the subject of the

<subsection type="categoriesOfIndividuals"><xhtmlContent><p>Persons referred to in potential or actual civil tax cases and related matters under the
jurisdiction or of concern to the Tax Division under Internal Revenue laws and related statutes.
Since some information about the progress of employees working on the case is retrieved for
management purposes, they are also covered by this system.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="categoriesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>Records in this system pertain to a broad variety of litigation under the jurisdiction of
the Tax Division. They include case files which were created or received by the Tax Division in
connection with a particular case. These case files contain all pleadings, motions, briefs,
transcripts and exhibits, all other papers filed with a court or issued by the Court, correspondence
relating to the case, tax returns, tax return information, and documents which contain tax return
information, inter-agency memoranda, intra-agency memoranda, assignment sheets, investigative
reports and associated records. For pre-1977 cases, summary information is maintained on docket
cards on which is recorded the names of principals or related parties, case file or management
numbers, case type, case weight, attorney assigned, court numbers, opposing counsel and associated
information. For cases beginning in 1977, information is maintained in an automated case management
system. This automated system also permits Tax Division personnel to record information about the
case on a comment field. Also part of the automated case management system is a timekeeping function
for attorneys, paralegals, and other Tax Division employees involved in litigation.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="authorityForMaintenance"><xhtmlContent><p>This system is established and maintained pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 301, 44 U.S.C. 3101, and 28

</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="purpose"><xhtmlContent><p>Information is maintained in docket cards and in electronic format on each Tax Division
(Division) civil case: (a) To identify and assign mail to the proper office within the Division and
the attorneys therein assigned to the case; (b) to relate incoming material to an existing case; (c)
to establish a file and case management numbers; and (d) to provide a central index of cases within
the Division and to facilitate the flow of legal work in the Division. The Division’s automated case
management system enhances these uses and enables data management specialists, managers, and
Division personnel: (a) To locate information about the status of pending or terminated civil
matters and litigation; (b) to identify assigned staff; (c) to track the status of litigation; (d)
to prepare reports including budget requests; and (e) to track the number of hours Division
personnel worked on various matters.

disseminated to the referring agency to notify such agency of the status of the case or matter or of
any decision or determination that has been made or to assist in eliciting additional information;
</p><p>(7) A record relating to a person held pending arraignment, trial or sentence, or after
conviction, may be disseminated to a federal, state, local or foreign prison, probation, parole,
bail or pardon authority, or to any agency or individual concerned with the custody maintenance,
transportation, or release of such a person;
</p><p>(8) A record relating to a case or matter may be disseminated to a foreign country pursuant to an

agency’s decision on the matter; and
</p><p>(11) A record may be accessed by volunteer student workers and students working under a college
work-study program, as is necessary to enable them to perform their function.
</p><p>(12) This office utilizes it to track the workload of the criminal court process from three
separate vantage points. First, the workload is tracked from the vantage point of the crime or
criminal incident. This is accomplished by including in PROMIS the complaint number which the police
department assigns to a reported crime. With this number, prosecutors can follow the full history of
the court actions arising from the crime even though those actions may involve multiple defendants,
multiple cases, and multiple trials and dispositions.
</p><p>(13) PROMIS tracks the court workload from the vantage point of the accused or defendant. This is
achieved by incorporating in PROMIS the fingerprint-based number the police department assigns to
the individual following his or her arrest. This identfication number is used again by the
department if the same individual is subsequently arrested. Through this number, prosecuting
attorneys accumulate criminal history files on offenders and note incidents of recidivism.
</p><p>(14) PROMIS tracks from the vantage point of the court proceedings. This is accomplished by
including in PROMIS the docket number the Court assigns to the case pending before it. With this
number, prosecutors trace the history of any formal criminal action from arraignment through final
disposition and sentencing, and account for the separate fate of each count or charge.
</p><p>The inclusion of these three numbers is significant. The numbers provide a capability to track
the criminal incident, the defendant, or the court actions and provide the basis for the routine
communication among the various Federal, state, local, and foreign law enforcement agencies.
</p><p>(15) PROMIS generates, on a recurring basis, five categories of reports: Misdemeanor calendars,
felony calendars, case status reports, workload reports, and special reports. These reports are
prepared from information contained in the data base both by persons employed by this office, the
Justice Department and persons under contract to the Department for this purpose.
</p><p>(16) Release of information to the news media: Information permitted to be released to the news
media and the public pursuant to 28 CFR 50.2 may be made available from systems of records
maintained by the Department of Justice unless it is determined that release of the specific
information in the context of the particular case would constitute an unwarranted invasion of

(d) Index.
</subsection>
<subsection type="systemLocation"><xhtmlContent><p>U.S. Attorney’s Office, Judiciary Center Bldg., 555 4th St. NW, Washington, DC 20001.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="categoriesOfIndividuals"><xhtmlContent><p>The individuals on whom records are maintained may be broadly classified in three categories
(1) Those individuals who have been charged with criminal violations; (2) those individuals who are
currently under investigation for criminal violations; and (3) those individuals upon whom criminal
investigations were conducted, but no prosecution was initiated.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="categoriesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>This system of records, consisting of numbered Criminal File Folders, (USA-S1 and USA
-33), contains criminal investigative reports about named individuals submitted to this office
by federal, state, local and foreign law enforcement agencies involved with the investigation of
suspected violations as well as by complaints made by private parties. Those matters which become
cases either by way of indictment or information in addition to the data contained in the
investigative reports, also contain copies of indictments, informations, complaints, and all
pleadings submitted to the court in connection with the actual prosecution of the case. These files
also contain communications between the Court and agencies thereof, and the United States Attorney,
and all correspondence relative to the case or matter. The files further contain psychiatric,
chemical and other forensic reports, documentary evidence and the work product and internal
memoranda of the Assistant United States Attorney in charge of the investigation compiled in
preparation for the prosecution of each case. In those cases which have gone through trial and
appeal, the file would further reflect transcripts of the trial, all pleadings and correspondence
between the attorneys and the Court of Appeals, and copies of briefs submitted in the prosecution of
the Appeal.
</p><p>A synopsis record of a matter or case is maintained by means of a criminal docket card (USA
-T7), for all actions through sentencing. A synopsis record of a case on appeal is maintained
on an Appellate Docket Card (USA-9X-199), Appellate Proceedings). All of these
subsystems comprise an internal cross-reference record keeping system of the criminal business at
the office. Through the medium of forms and on-line data input, certain of this information is
conveyed to a computer center for inclusion in the Prosecutor’s Management Information System (a
system which will be reported on separately), from which status and statistical reports are issued
and distributed back to this office either in the form of computer printouts or on data display
terminals which contain much of the same information as the files in different format.
</p><p>Because of the number of diverse functions which must be performed with respect to each case; and
because of the large volume of cases and because operations are conducted in three separate
buildings, there are a number of file folder locator mechanisms and cross references utilized to
constantly track a file folder when it is not physically located in file control. These indexes or
locators are maintained in the form of `out cards,’ log books index card files, etc. They are
referenced by name, number, and other identifiers. In themselves, they are not separate systems of
records, but indexes or references to the primary system.

itself, <i>e.g.</i>, warrant apprehension investigations, which subject its officers to security
danger. These operations require acquiring information to allow an accurate assessment of the
existence and extent of the dangers posed, including specific threats, to aid in responding to
specific security assignments and needs, as well as developing protective measures and plans in
advance. With the information collected, officials determine and carry out operating plans, funding,
personnel, and any special resources needed to counteract threat situations.
</p><p>Individuals reported by State and local agencies to the USMS who have threatened to harm state or
local judicial officials often appear before the federal bar as a result of appeals, civil rights
suits, continuing criminal behavior, etc. Such individuals may continue their inappropriate
communications or threats at the federal level. In that event, information concerning these
individuals provided by the state and local agencies assists the USMS in assessing the dangers they
pose to federal officials and in developing protective measures and responding to specific security
requirements. This information also assists in researching inappropriate communications directed
toward judicial officials of all jurisdictions to gain a full and comprehensive picture of the
diverse circumstances involved, to analyze trends based upon a statistically reliable study, and to
more fully address the problem.

Judiciary through the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AOUSC) and is managed by the USMS.
This system of records is used to make security/suitability determinations in the hiring of CSO’s,
to monitor orientation and training, to track costs related to background investigations and
attendance at Government-sponsored orientation, and to monitor contractor performance. It enables
program officers to compile data for reports to AOUSC on actual and projected expenses, to list
CSO’s, their posts and hours of duty, and to determine turnover and reemployment ratios among CSO’s.

<subsection type="categoriesOfIndividuals"><xhtmlContent><p>Alleged criminal offenders who have been arrested and booked.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="categoriesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>Records may include certain generic or "common"  data elements which have been collected by
an arresting Federal, State, or local agency and booked by that agency at its automated booking
station (ABS), or booked by an agency on behalf of another agency which performed the arrest.[2]
</p><p>[2] Such common data (approximately 60 data elements) have been identified by law enforcement as
those case and biographical data generally collected by the law enforcement community during booking
arrests, e.g., name, date and place of birth, citizenship, hair and eye color, height and weight,
occupation, social security number, place, date and time of arrest and jail location, charge, armed
description, sentenced or unsentenced, and health status, etc. Such data may also include case agent
name, notes and observations regarding subjects’ physical or mental condition, degree of
psychological stability or acumen, reported use of habit forming substances, substances for which
the subject has a valid prescription, names of individuals from which the subject is to be
segregated, extraordinary handling procedures to include precautionary warnings, names of
acquaintances (criminal/non-criminal), Federal writ, and any other pertinent information related to
known activities relevant or unique to the record subject. Finally, as the technology is developed,
such data may include electronic fingerprints, mugshots, and voice samples.
[2]</p><p> Initially, these records will include only those of the Department of Justice (DOJ)
law enforcement components. However, at such time as other Federal, State and local agencies either
establish similar ABS’s or use the ABS of another agency to upload "common"  data to the
repositories (i.e., "common"  data as described by this system of records), this system of records
will also include records provided by non-DOJ law enforcement agencies.
</p><p>Categories of records may include paper records where the USMS has a need to print copies, e.g.,
copies of mugshots.

<subsection type="authorityForMaintenance"><xhtmlContent><p>28 U.S.C. 534, 564; 5 U.S.C. 301 and 44 U.S.C. 3101.
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="purpose"><xhtmlContent><p>The primary purpose of the JABS system is to enable Federal, State, and local agencies which
conduct arrests and/or booking activities to store such data in regional repositories to eliminate
duplication efforts among multiple law enforcement agencies participating in a single
booking/arrest, to follow the arrestee through the booking process, and thereby share "realtime"
booking and arrest data within a region. It will also assist in ancillary law enforcement efforts by
permitting law enforcement to learn of the arrest and apprehension of a fugitive by another agency
in that region; verify the identity of an arrestee or, as the technology is developed, obtain
identifying data that will assist with surveillance and wiretap activities in the event the arrestee
becomes a fugitive subsequent to booking. Finally, it may assist other judicial/law enforcement
agencies in obtaining such information as will permit them to perform their official duties.
</p><p>JABS will also assist law enforcement at the national level through interface of its regional
repositories with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Identification Division Records
System, Justice/FBI-009 (IDENT). IDENT currently serves as a "national"  repository for
fingerprint data. As the technology is developed, electronic fingerprint, mugshot, and voice sample
data, together with certain personally identifying data, date of arrest, etc. may be copied from
JABS regional repositories to IDENT. (Consistent with published routine use disclosures for the
IDENT system of records, IDENT may then respond to electronic inquiries from other JABS regional
repositories to verify fingerprint or other identifying data, to learn of the arrest of a fugitive
in another regional jurisdiction; and/or, where indicated by the IDENT record, to allow an inquiring
regional repository to determine that a more complete arrest record resides with, and may be
requested from, another JABS regional repository; and/or to otherwise assist in the conduct of other
authorized law enforcement activities such as surveillance and wiretap.)
</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="routineUsesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>(a) The regional repositories may be electronically accessed by Federal, State, and local
law enforcement agencies to input and retrieve booking and arrests data on criminal offenders and
thereby eliminate the need for duplicate bookings in that region, i.e., the collection of much the
same data by multiple agencies in prisoner processing activities involving such agencies from arrest
through incarceration. (For example, an individual arrested by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and
Firearms (ATF) and transported by the USMS to a Federal correctional institution may be processed by
ATF, USMS, and the Bureau of Prisons.) Such repositories may be electronically accessed by these and
other local law enforcement agencies in the region also for other law enforcement purposes such as
to learn about the arrest of a fugitive wanted in several local jurisdictions, to verify the
identity of an arrestee, or to assist in the conduct of surveillance and/or wiretap activities. In
addition, access by one regional repository to the complete record residing in another regional
repository, e.g., to obtain access to the record of a fugitive wanted in one or more regional
jurisdictions, may be accomplished by a telephone request until such time as technology may permit
electronic requests between regional repositories. Further, at such time as the technology is
available, other judicial/law enforcement agencies such as the courts, probation, and parole
agencies may have direct electronic access to JABS in order to obtain data which may assist them in
performing their official duties. For example, the courts may need direct electronic access to
verify the identity of an individual who appears in court claiming not to be the individual
identified by the arresting agency.
</p><p>Finally, where necessary and/or appropriate, the USMS may disclose relevant information from the
repositories as follows:
</p><p>(b) To any Federal, State, and/or local authorities to the extent necessary to permit them to
perform their law enforcement responsibilities; or to any Federal, State, and/or local authorities,
or to any other entity or person, to the extent required to solicit information necessary for law
enforcement purposes;
</p><p>(c) To other judicial/law enforcement agencies such as the courts, probation, and parole agencies
to assist them in performing their official duties;
</p><p>(d) To a Federal agency in response to its request and in connection with hiring or retention of
an employee, the issuance of the required security clearance, the reporting of an investigation of
an employee, the letting of a contract, or the issuance of a license, grant or other benefit by the
requesting agency, to the extent that the information relates to the requesting agency’s decision on
the matter;
</p><p>(e) To private contractors and/or maintenance personnel but only to the extent that access is
needed to perform contractual duties such as maintenance or other administrative support operations;
</p><p>(f) To a Member of Congress or staff acting upon the Member’s behalf when the Member or staff
requests the information on behalf of and at the request of the individual who is the subject of the
record;
</p><p>(g) To the news media and the public pursuant to 28 CFR 50.2 unless it is determined that release
of the specific information in the context of a particular case would constitute an unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy;
</p><p>(h) To a court or adjudicative body before which the USMS or other appropriate DOJ component is
authorized to appear when any of the following is a party to litigation or has an interest in
litigation and such records are determined by the USMS or other appropriate DOJ component to be
arguably relevant to the litigation: (i) The USMS or DOJ component, or any subdivision thereof, or
(ii) any employee of the USMS or DOJ in his or her official capacity, or (iii) any employee of the
USMS or DOJ in his or her individual capacity where the DOJ has agreed to represent the employee, or
(iv) the United States, where the DOJ determines that the litigation is likely to affect it or any
of its subdivisions;
</p><p>(i) To the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and the General Services
Administration in records management inspections conducted under the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and
2906;
</p><p>(j) To complainants and/or victims to the extent necessary to provide such persons with
information and explanations concerning the progress and/or results of an investigation or case
(e.g. an arrest) arising from the matters of which they complained and/or of which they were a
victim; and
</p><p>(k) To any person or entity to the extent necessary to prevent an imminent and potential crime
which directly threatens loss of life or serious bodily injury.
</p><p>Pursuant to subsection (b)(3) of the Privacy Act, the Department of Justice may disclose relevant
and necessary information to a former employee of the Department for purposes of: responding to an
official inquiry by a federal, state, or local government entity or professional licensing
authority, in accordance with applicable Department regulations; or facilitating communications with
a former employee that may be necessary for personnel-related or other official purposes where the
Department requires information and/or consultation assistance from the former employee regarding a
matter within that person’s former area of responsibility.

</b></p>
<p><b>Source:</b> Order No. 2156-98, 63 FR 29600, June 1, 1998, unless otherwise noted.

</p>
<p><b>&#167; 16.40
</b></p>
<p><b>General provisions.
</b></p>
<p>(a) <i>Purpose and scope.</i> This subpart contains the rules that the Department of Justice follows under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a. These rules should be read together with the Privacy Act, which provides additional information about records maintained on individuals. The rules in this subpart apply to all records in systems of records maintained by the Department that are retrieved by an individual’s name or personal identifier. They describe the procedures by which individuals may request access to records about themselves, request amendment or correction of those records, and request an accounting of disclosures of those by the Department. In addition, the Department processes all Privacy Act requests for access to records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552, following the rules contained in subpart A of this part, which gives requests the benefit of both statutes.
</p>
<p>(b) <i>Definitions.</i> As used in this subpart:
</p>
<p>(1) <i>Component</i> means each separate bureau, office, board, division, commission, service, or administration of the Department of Justice.
</p>
<p>(2) <i>Request for access</i> to a record means a request made under Privacy Act subsection (d)(1).
</p>
<p>(3) <i>Request for amendment or correction</i> of a record means a request made under Privacy Act subsection (d)(2).
</p>
<p>(4) <i>Request for an accounting</i> means a request made under Privacy Act subsection (c)(3).
</p>
<p>(5) <i>Requester</i> means an individual who makes a request for access, a request for amendment or correction, or a request for an accounting under the Privacy Act.
</p>
<p>(c) <i>Authority to request records for a law enforcement purpose.</i> The head of a component or a United States Attorney, or either’s designee, is authorized to make written requests under subsection (b)(7) of the Privacy Act for records maintained by other agencies that are necessary to carry out an authorized law enforcement activity.
</p>
<p>[Order No. 2156-98, 63 FR 29600, June 1, 1998; 63 FR 51401, Sept. 25, 1998]

</p>
<p><b>&#167; 16.41
</b></p>
<p><b>Requests for access to records.
</b></p>
<p>(a) <i>How made and addressed.</i> You may make a request for access to a Department of Justice record about yourself by appearing in person or by writing directly to the Department component that maintains the record. Your request should be sent or delivered to the component’s Privacy Act office at the address listed in appendix I to this part. In most cases, a component’s central Privacy Act office is the place to send a Privacy Act request. For records held by a field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), however, you must write directly to that FBI or INS field office address, which can be found in most telephone books or by calling the component’s central Privacy Act office. (The functions of each component are summarized in Part 0 of this title and in the description of the Department and its components in the “United States Government Manual,” which is issued annually and is available in most libraries, as well as for sale from the Government Printing Office’s Superintendent of Documents. This manual also can be accessed electronically at the Government Printing Office’s World Wide Web site (which can be found at <i>http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs</i>). If you cannot determine where within the Department to send your request, you may send it to the FOIA/PA Mail Referral Unit, Justice Management Division, U.S. Department of Justice, 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20530-0001, and that office will forward it to the component(s) it believes most likely to have the records that you seek. For the quickest possible handling, you should mark both your request letter and the envelope “Privacy Act Request.”
</p>
<p>(b) <i>Description of records sought.</i> You must describe the records that you want in enough detail to enable Department personnel to locate the system of records containing them with a reasonable amount of effort. Whenever possible, your request should describe the records sought, the time periods in which you believe they were compiled, and the name or identifying number of each system of records in which you believe they are kept. The Department publishes notices in the <i>Federal Register</i> that describe its components’ systems of records. A description of the Department’s systems of records also may be found as part of the “Privacy Act Compilation” published by the National Archives and Records Administration’s Office of the Federal Register. This compilation is available in most large reference and university libraries. This compilation also can be accessed electronically at the Government Printing Office’s World Wide Web site (which can be found at <i>http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs</i>). 
</p>
<p>(c) <i>Agreement to pay fees.</i> If you make a Privacy Act request for access to records, it shall be considered an agreement by you to pay all applicable fees charged under &#167; 16.49, up to $25.00. The component responsible for responding to your request ordinarily shall confirm this agreement in an acknowledgement letter. When making a request, you may specify a willingness to pay a greater or lesser amount. 
</p>
<p>(d) <i>Verification of identity.</i> When you make a request for access to records about yourself, you must verify your identity. You must state your full name, current address, and date and place of birth. You must sign your request and your signature must either be notarized or submitted by you under 28 U.S.C. 1746, a law that permits statements to be made under penalty of perjury as a substitute for notarization. While no specific form is required, you may obtain forms for this purpose from the FOIA/PA Mail Referral Unit, Justice Management Division, U.S. Department of Justice, 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20530-0001. In order to help the identification and location of requested records, you may also, at your option, include your social security number. 
</p>
<p>(e) <i>Verification of guardianship.</i> When making a request as the parent or guardian of a minor or as the guardian of someone determined by a court to be incompetent, for access to records about that individual, you must establish: 
</p>
<p>(1) The identity of the individual who is the subject of the record, by stating the name, current address, date and place of birth, and, at your option, the social security number of the individual; 
</p>
<p>(2) Your own identity, as required in paragraph (d) of this section; 
</p>
<p>(3) That you are the parent or guardian of that individual, which you may prove by providing a copy of the individual’s birth certificate showing your parentage or by providing a court order establishing your guardianship; and 
</p>
<p>(4) That you are acting on behalf of that individual in making the request.

</p>
<p><b>&#167; 16.42
</b></p>
<p><b>Responsibility for responding to requests for access to records.
</b></p>
<p>(a) <i>In general.</i> Except as stated in paragraphs (c), (d), and (e) of this section, the component that first receives a request for access to a record, and has possession of that record, is the component responsible for responding to the request. In determining which records are responsive to a request, a component ordinarily shall include only those records in its possession as of the date the component begins its search for them. If any other date is used, the component shall inform the requester of that date.
</p>
<p>(b) <i>Authority to grant or deny requests.</i> The head of a component, or the component head’s designee, is authorized to grant or deny any request for access to a record of that component.
</p>
<p>(c) <i>Consultations and referrals.</i> When a component receives a request for access to a record in its possession, it shall determine whether another component, or another agency of the Federal Government, is better able to determine whether the record is exempt from access under the Privacy Act. If the receiving component determines that it is best able to process the record in response to the request, then it shall do so. If the receiving component determines that it is not best able to process the record, then it shall either:
</p>
<p>(1) Respond to the request regarding that record, after consulting with the component or agency best able to determine whether the record is exempt from access and with any other component or agency that has a substantial interest in it; or
</p>
<p>(2) Refer the responsibility for responding to the request regarding that record to the component best able to determine whether it is exempt from access, or to another agency that originated the record (but only if that agency is subject to the Privacy Act). Ordinarily, the component or agency that originated a record will be presumed to be best able to determine whether it is exempt from access.
</p>
<p>(d) <i>Law enforcement information.</i> Whenever a request is made for access to a record containing information that relates to an investigation of a possible violation of law and that was originated by another component or agency, the receiving component shall either refer the responsibility for responding to the request regarding that information to that other component or agency or shall consult with that other component or agency.
</p>
<p>(e) <i>Classified information.</i> Whenever a request is made for access to a record containing information that has been classified by or may be appropriate for classification by another component or agency under Executive Order 12958 or any other executive order concerning the classification of records, the receiving component shall refer the responsibility for responding to the request regarding that information to the component or agency that classified the information, should consider the information for classification, or has the primary interest in it, as appropriate. Whenever a record contains information that has been derivatively classified by a component because it contains information classified by another component or agency, the component shall refer the responsibility for responding to the request regarding that information to the component or agency that classified the underlying information.
</p>
<p>(f) <i>Notice of referral.</i> Whenever a component refers all or any part of the responsibility for responding to a request to another component or agency, it ordinarily shall notify the requester of the referral and inform the requester of the name of each component or agency to which the request has been referred and of the part of the request that has been referred.
</p>
<p>(g) <i>Timing of responses to consultations and referrals.</i> All consultations and referrals shall be handled according to the date the Privacy Act access request was initially received by the first component or agency, not any later date.
</p>
<p>(h) <i>Agreements regarding consultations and referrals.</i> Components may make agreements with other components or agencies to eliminate the need for consultations or referrals for particular types of records.
</p>

</p>
<p><b>&#167; 16.43
</b></p>
<p><b>Responses to requests for access to records.
</b></p>
<p>(a) <i>Acknowledgements of requests.</i> On receipt of a request, a component ordinarily shall send an acknowledgement letter to the requester which shall confirm the requester’s agreement to pay fees under &#167; 16.41(c) and provide an assigned request number for further reference.
</p>
<p>(b) <i>Grants of requests for access.</i> Once a component makes a determination to grant a request for access in whole or in part, it shall notify the requester in writing. The component shall inform the requester in the notice of any fee charged under &#167; 16.49 and shall disclose records to the requester promptly on payment of any applicable fee. If a request is made in person, the component may disclose records to the requester directly, in a manner not unreasonably disruptive of its operations, on payment of any applicable fee and with a written record made of the grant of the request. If a requester is accompanied by another person, the requester shall be required to authorize in writing any discussion of the records in the presence of the other person.
</p>
<p>(c) <i>Adverse determinations of requests for access.</i> A component making an adverse determination denying a request for access in any respect shall notify the requester of that determination in writing. Adverse determinations, or denials of requests, consist of: A determination to withhold any requested record in whole or in part; a determination that a requested record does not exist or cannot be located; a determination that what has been requested is not a record subject to the Privacy Act; a determination on any disputed fee matter; and a denial of a request for expedited treatment. The notification letter shall be signed by the head of the component, or the component head’s designee, and shall include:
</p>
<p>(1) The name and title or position of the person responsible for the denial;
</p>
<p>(2) A brief statement of the reason(s) for the denial, including any Privacy Act exemption(s) applied by the component in denying the request; and
</p>
<p>(3) A statement that the denial may be appealed under &#167; 16.45(a) and a description of the requirements of &#167; 16.45(a).

</p>
<p><b>&#167; 16.44
</b></p>
<p><b>Classified information.
</b></p>
<p>In processing a request for access to a record containing information that is classified under Executive Order 12958 or any other executive order, the originating component shall review the information to determine whether it should remain classified. Information determined to no longer require classification shall not be withheld from a requester on the basis of Exemption (k)(1) of the Privacy Act. On receipt of any appeal involving classified information, the Office of Information and Privacy shall take appropriate action to ensure compliance with part 17 of this title.

</p>
<p><b>&#167; 16.45
</b></p>
<p><b>Appeals from denials of requests for access to records.
</b></p>
<p>(a) <i>Appeals.</i> If you are dissatisfied with a component’s response to your request for access to records, you may appeal an adverse determination denying your request in any respect to the Office of Information and Privacy, U.S. Department of Justice, Flag Building, Suite 570, Washington, DC 20530-0001. You must make your appeal in writing and it must be received by the Office of Information and Privacy within 60 days of the date of the letter denying your request. Your appeal letter may include as much or as little related information as you wish, as long as it clearly identifies the component determination (including the assigned request number, if known) that you are appealing. For the quickest possible handling, you should mark both your appeal letter and the envelope “Privacy Act Appeal.” Unless the Attorney General directs otherwise, a Director of the Office of Information and Privacy will act on behalf of the Attorney General on all appeals under this section, except that:
</p>
<p>(1) In the case of an adverse determination by the Deputy Attorney General or the Associate Attorney General, the Attorney General or the Attorney General’s designee will act on the appeal;
</p>
<p>(2) An adverse determination by the Attorney General will be the final action of the Department; and
</p>
<p>(3) An appeal ordinarily will not be acted on if the request becomes a matter of litigation.
</p>
<p>(b) <i>Responses to appeals.</i> The decision on your appeal will be made in writing. A decision affirming an adverse determination in whole or in part will include a brief statement of the reason(s) for the affirmance, including any Privacy Act exemption applied, and will inform you of the Privacy Act provisions for court review of the decision. If the adverse determination is reversed or modified on appeal in whole or in part, you will be notified in a written decision and your request will be reprocessed in accordance with that appeal decision.
</p>
<p>(c) <i>When appeal is required.</i> If you wish to seek review by a court of any adverse determination or denial of a request, you must first appeal it under this section.

</p>
<p><b>&#167; 16.46
</b></p>
<p><b>Requests for amendment or correction of records.
</b></p>
<p>(a) <i>How made and addressed.</i> Unless the record is not subject to amendment or correction as stated in paragraph (f) of this section, you may make a request for amendment or correction of a Department of Justice record about yourself by writing directly to the Department component that maintains the record, following the procedures in &#167; 16.41. Your request should identify each particular record in question, state the amendment or correction that you want, and state why you believe that the record is not accurate, relevant, timely, or complete. You may submit any documentation that you think would be helpful. If you believe that the same record is in more than one system of records, you should state that and address your request to each component that maintains a system of records containing the record.
</p>
<p>(b) <i>Component responses.</i> Within ten working days of receiving your request for amendment or correction of records, a component shall send you a written acknowledgment of its receipt of your request, and it shall promptly notify you whether your request is granted or denied. If the component grants your request in whole or in part, it shall describe the amendment or correction made and shall advise you of your right to obtain a copy of the corrected or amended record, in disclosable form. If the component denies your request in whole or in part, it shall send you a letter signed by the head of the component, or the component head’s designee, that shall state:
</p>
<p>(1) The reason(s) for the denial; and
</p>
<p>(2) The procedure for appeal of the denial under paragraph (c) of this section, including the name and business address of the official who will act on your appeal.
</p>
<p>(c) <i>Appeals.</i> You may appeal a denial of a request for amendment or correction to the Office of Information and Privacy in the same manner as a denial of a request for access to records (see &#167; 16.45) and the same procedures shall be followed. If your appeal is denied, you shall be advised of your right to file a Statement of Disagreement as described in paragraph (d) of this section and of your right under the Privacy Act for court review of the decision.
</p>
<p>(d) <i>Statements of Disagreement.</i> If your appeal under this section is denied in whole or in part, you have the right to file a Statement of Disagreement that states your reason(s) for disagreeing with the Department’s denial of your request for amendment or correction. Statements of Disagreement must be concise, must clearly identify each part of any record that is disputed, and should be no longer than one typed page for each fact disputed. Your Statement of Disagreement must be sent to the component involved, which shall place it in the system of records in which the disputed record is maintained and shall mark the disputed record to indicate that a Statement of Disagreement has been filed and where in the system of records it may be found.
</p>
<p>(e) <i>Notification of amendment/correction or disagreement.</i> Within 30 working days of the amendment or correction of a record, the component that maintains the record shall notify all persons, organizations, or agencies to which it previously disclosed the record, if an accounting of that disclosure was made, that the record has been amended or corrected. If an individual has filed a Statement of Disagreement, the component shall append a copy of it to the disputed record whenever the record is disclosed and may also append a concise statement of its reason(s) for denying the request to amend or correct the record.
</p>
<p>(f) <i>Records not subject to amendment or correction.</i> The following records are not subject to amendment or correction:
</p>
<p>(1) Transcripts of testimony given under oath or written statements made under oath;
</p>
<p>(2) Transcripts of grand jury proceedings, judicial proceedings, or quasi-judicial proceedings, which are the official record of those proceedings;
</p>
<p>(3) Presentence records that originated with the courts; and
</p>
<p>(4) Records in systems of records that have been exempted from amendment and correction under Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a(j) or (k) by notice published in the <i>Federal Register.</i>

</p>
<p><b>&#167; 16.47
</b></p>
<p><b>Requests for an accounting of record disclosures.
</b></p>
<p>(a) <i>How made and addressed.</i> Except where accountings of disclosures are not required to be kept (as stated in paragraph (b) of this section), you may make a request for an accounting of any disclosure that has been made by the Department to another person, organization, or agency of any record about you. This accounting contains the date, nature, and purpose of each disclosure, as well as the name and address of the person, organization, or agency to which the disclosure was made. Your request for an accounting should identify each particular record in question and should be made by writing directly to the Department component that maintains the record, following the procedures in &#167; 16.41.
</p>
<p>(b) <i>Where accountings are not required.</i> Components are not required to provide accountings to you where they relate to:
</p>
<p>(1) Disclosures for which accountings are not required to be kept--in other words, disclosures that are made to employees within the agency and disclosures that are made under the FOIA;
</p>
<p>(2) Disclosures made to law enforcement agencies for authorized law enforcement activities in response to written requests from those law enforcement agencies specifying the law enforcement activities for which the disclosures are sought; or
</p>
<p>(3) Disclosures made from law enforcement systems of records that have been exempted from accounting requirements.
</p>
<p>(c) <i>Appeals.</i> You may appeal a denial of a request for an accounting to the Office of Information and Privacy in the same manner as a denial of a request for access to records (see &#167; 16.45) and the same procedures will be followed.

</p>
<p><b>&#167; 16.48
</b></p>
<p><b>Preservation of records.
</b></p>
<p>Each component will preserve all correspondence pertaining to the requests that it receives under this subpart, as well as copies of all requested records, until disposition or destruction is authorized by title 44 of the United States Code or the National Archives and Records Administration’s General Records Schedule 14. Records will not be disposed of while they are the subject of a pending request, appeal, or lawsuit under the Act.

</p>
<p><b>&#167; 16.49
</b></p>
<p><b>Fees.
</b></p>
<p>Components shall charge fees for duplication of records under the Privacy Act in the same way in which they charge duplication fees under &#167; 16.11. No search or review fee may be charged for any record unless the record has been exempted from access under Exemptions (j)(2) or (k)(2) of the Privacy Act.

</p>
<p><b>&#167; 16.50
</b></p>
<p><b>Notice of court-ordered and emergency disclosures.
</b></p>
<p>(a) <i>Court-ordered disclosures.</i> When a record pertaining to an individual is required to be disclosed by a court order, the component shall make reasonable efforts to provide notice of this to the individual. Notice shall be given within a reasonable time after the component’s receipt of the order--except that in a case in which the order is not a matter of public record, the notice shall be given only after the order becomes public. This notice shall be mailed to the individual’s last known address and shall contain a copy of the order and a description of the information disclosed. Notice shall not be given if disclosure is made from a criminal law enforcement system of records that has been exempted from the notice requirement.
</p>
<p>(b) <i>Emergency disclosures.</i> Upon disclosing a record pertaining to an individual made under compelling circumstances affecting health or safety, the component shall notify that individual of the disclosure. This notice shall be mailed to the individual’s last known address and shall state the nature of the information disclosed; the person, organization, or agency to which it was disclosed; the date of disclosure; and the compelling circumstances justifying the disclosure.

</p>
<p><b>&#167; 16.51
</b></p>
<p><b>Security of systems of records.
</b></p>
<p>(a) Each component shall establish administrative and physical controls to prevent unauthorized access to its systems of records, to prevent unauthorized disclosure of records, and to prevent physical damage to or destruction of records. The stringency of these controls shall correspond to the sensitivity of the records that the controls protect. At a minimum, each component’s administrative and physical controls shall ensure that:
</p>
<p>(1) Records are protected from public view;
</p>
<p>(2) The area in which records are kept is supervised during business hours to prevent unauthorized persons from having access to them;
</p>
<p>(3) Records are inaccessible to unauthorized persons outside of business hours; and
</p>
<p>(4) Records are not disclosed to unauthorized persons or under unauthorized circumstances in either oral or written form.
</p>
<p>(b) Each component shall have procedures that restrict access to records to only those individuals within the Department who must have access to those records in order to perform their duties and that prevent inadvertent disclosure of records.
</p>

</b></p>
<p><b>Contracts for the operation of record systems.
</b></p>
<p>Any approved contract for the operation of a record system will contain the standard contract requirements issued by the General Services Administration to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Privacy Act for that record system. The contracting component will be responsible for ensuring that the contractor complies with these contract requirements.

</p>
<p><b>&#167; 16.53
</b></p>
<p><b>Use and collection of social security numbers.
</b></p>
<p>Each component shall ensure that employees authorized to collect information are aware:
</p>
<p>(a) That individuals may not be denied any right, benefit, or privilege as a result of refusing to provide their social security numbers, unless the collection is authorized either by a statute or by a regulation issued prior to 1975; and
</p>
<p>(b) That individuals requested to provide their social security numbers must be informed of:
</p>
<p>(1) Whether providing social security numbers is mandatory or voluntary;
</p>
<p>(2) Any statutory or regulatory authority that authorizes the collection of social security numbers; and
</p>
<p>(3) The uses that will be made of the numbers.

</p>
<p><b>&#167; 16.54
</b></p>
<p><b>Employee standards of conduct.
</b></p>
<p>Each component will inform its employees of the provisions of the Privacy Act, including the Act’s civil liability and criminal penalty provisions. Unless otherwise permitted by law, an employee of the Department of Justice shall:

</p>
<p>(3) The routine uses the Department may make of the information; and
</p>
<p>(4) The effects on the individual, if any, of not providing the information;
</p>
<p>(d) Ensure that the component maintains no system of records without public notice and that it notifies appropriate Department officials of the existence or development of any system of records that is not the subject of a current or planned public notice;
</p>
<p>(e) Maintain all records that are used by the Department in making any determination about an individual with such accuracy, relevance, timeliness, and completeness as is reasonably necessary to ensure fairness to the individual in the determination;
</p>
<p>(f) Except as to disclosures made to an agency or made under the FOIA, make reasonable efforts, prior to disseminating any record about an individual, to ensure that the record is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete;

<p><b>&#167; 16.70 
</b></p>
<p><b>Exemption of the Office of the Attorney General System--limited access. 
</b></p>
<p>(a) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c) (3) and (4); (d); (e) (1), (2) and (3), (e)(4) (G) and (H), (e)(5); and (g):
</p>
<p>(1) General Files System of the Office of the Attorney General (JUSTICE/OAG-001).
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in the system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2), (k)(1), (k)(2), and (k)(5).
</p>
<p>(b) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because making available to a record subject the accounting of disclosures from records concerning him/her would reveal investigative interest on the part of the Department of Justice as well as the recipient agency. This would permit record subjects to impede the investigation, e.g., destroy evidence, intimidate potential witnesses, or flee the area to avoid inquiries or apprehension by law enforcement personnel.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) because this system is exempt from the access provisions of subsection (d) pursuant to subsections (j) and (k) of the Privacy Act.
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d) because the records contained in this system relate to official Federal investigations. Individual access to these records might compromise ongoing investigations, reveal confidential informants or constitute unwarranted invasions of the personal privacy of third parties who are involved in a certain investigation. Amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing criminal law enforcement proceedings and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring criminal investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsections (e) (1) and (5) because in the course of law enforcement investigations, information may occasionally be obtained or introduced the accuracy of which is unclear or which is not strictly relevant or necessary to a specific investigation. In the interests of effective law enforcement, it is appropriate to retain all information that may aid in establishing patterns of criminal activity. Moreover, it would impede the specific investigative process if it were necessary to assure the relevance, accuracy, timeliness and completeness of all information obtained.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because in a law enforcement investigation the requirement that information be collected to the greatest extent possible from the subject individual would present a serious impediment to law enforcement in that the subject of the investigation would be informed of the existence of the investigation and would therefore be able to avoid detection, apprehension, or legal obligations of duties. 
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) because to comply with the requirements of this subsection during the course of an investigation could impede the information gathering process, thus hampering the investigation.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsections (e)(4) (G) and (H) because this system is exempt from the access provisions of subsection (d) pursuant to subsections (j) and (k) of the Privacy Act.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (g) because this system is exempt from the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d) pursuant to subsections (j) and (k) of the Privacy Act.

<p>(1) From subsection (d)(1) because many persons are contacted who, without an assurance of anonymity, refuse to provide information concerning a candidate for a Presidential appointee or Department attorney position. Access could reveal the identity of the source of the information and constitute a breach of the promise of confidentiality on the part of the Department of Justice. Such breaches ultimately would restrict the free flow of information vital to a determination of a candidate’s qualifications and suitability. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (e)(1) because in the collection of information for investigative and evaluative purposes, it is impossible to determine in advance what exact information may be of assistance in determining the qualifications and suitability of a candidate. Information which may appear irrelevant, when combined with other seemingly irrelevant information, can on occasion provide a composite picture of a candidate for a position which assists in determining whether that candidate should be nominated for appointment. 
</p>
<p>(c) The General Files System of the Office of the Deputy Attorney General (JUSTICE/DAG-013) is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) and (4); (d); (e)(1), (2), (3) and (5); and (g).
</p>
<p>(d) The exemptions for the General Files System apply only to the extent that information is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), (k)(1), (k)(2) and (k)(5). 
</p>
<p>(e) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because making available to a record subject the accounting of disclosures from records concerning him/her could reveal investigative interest on the part of the Department of Justice, as well as the recipient agency. This would permit record subjects to impede the investigation, e.g., destroy evidence, intimidate potential witnesses, or flee the area to avoid inquiries or apprehension by law enforcement personnel. Further, making available to a record subject the accounting of disclosures could reveal the identity of a confidential source. In addition, release of an accounting of disclosures from the General Files System may reveal information that is properly classified pursuant to Executive Order 12356, and thereby cause damage to the national security. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) because these systems are exempt from the access provisions of subsection (d) pursuant to subsections (j) and (k) of the Privacy Act. 
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d) because the records contained in these systems relate to official Federal investigations. Individual access to these records could compromise ongoing investigations, reveal confidential informants and/or sensitive investigative techniques used in particular investigations, or constitute unwarranted invasions of the personal privacy of third parties who are involved in a certain investigation. In addition, release of records from the General Files System may reveal information that is properly classified pursuant to Executive Order 12356, and thereby cause damage to the national security. Amendment of the records in either of these systems would interfere with ongoing law enforcement proceedings and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring law enforcement investigations to be continuously reinvestigated. 
</p>
<p>(4) From subsections (e)(1) and (e)(5) because in the course of law enforcement investigations information may occasionally be obtained or introduced the accuracy of which is unclear or which is not strictly relevant or necessary to a specific investigation. In the interests of effective law enforcement, it is appropriate to retain all information that may aid in establishing patterns of criminal activity. Moreover, it would impede any investigative process, whether civil or criminal, if it were necessary to assure the relevance, accuracy, timeliness and completeness of all information obtained. 
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because in a law enforcement investigation the requirement that information be collected to the greatest extent possible from the subject individual would present a serious impediment to law enforcement in that the subject of the investigation would be informed of the existence of the investigation and may therefore be able to avoid detection, apprehension, or legal obligations or duties. 
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) because to comply with the requirements of this subsection during the course of an investigation could impede the information gathering process, thus hampering the investigation. 
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (g) because these systems of records are exempt from the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d) pursuant to subsections (j) and (k) of the Privacy Act.

<p>(a) The following system of records is exempted pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) from subsections (c) (3) and (4), (d), (e)(1), (2), (3), (5), and (8), and (g) of 5 U.S.C. 552a. In addition, the following system of records is exempted pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1) and (k)(2) from subsections (c)(3), (d), and (e)(1) of 5 U.S.C. 552a:
</p>
<p>(1) Office of the Inspector General Investigative Records (JUSTICE/OIG-001).
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2), (k)(1) and (k)(2). Where compliance would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the law enforcement process, and/or where it may be appropriate to permit individuals to contest the accuracy of the information collected, e.g., public source materials, the applicable exemption may be waived, either partially or totally, by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG). 
</p>
<p>(b) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because release of disclosure accounting could alert the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory violation to the existence of the investigation and the fact that they are subjects of the investigation, and reveal investigative interest by not only the OIG, but also by the recipient agency. Since release of such information to the subjects of an investigation would provide them with significant information concerning the nature of the investigation, release could result in the destruction of documentary evidence, improper influencing of witnesses, endangerment of the physical safety of confidential sources, witnesses, and law enforcement personnel, the fabrication of testimony, flight of the subject from the area, and other activities that could impede or compromise the investigation. In addition, accounting for each disclosure could result in the release of properly classified information which would compromise the national defense or disrupt foreign policy. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) because this system is exempt from the access provisions of subsection (d) pursuant to subsections (j) and (k) of the Privacy Act. 
</p>
<p>(3) From the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d) because access to the records contained in this system of records could inform the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory violation, of the existence of that investigation; of the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to his activities; of the identity of confidential sources, witnesses, and law enforcement personnel, and of information that may enable the subject to avoid detection or apprehension. These factors would present a serious impediment to effective law enforcement where they prevent the successful completion of the investigation, endanger the physical safety of confidential sources, witnesses, and law enforcement personnel, and/or lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony. In addition, granting access to such information could disclose security-sensitive or confidential business information or information that would constitute an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of third parties. Finally, access to the records could result in the release of properly classified information which would compromise the national defense or disrupt foreign policy. Amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing investigations and law enforcement activities and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(1) because the application of this provision could impair investigations and interfere with the law enforcement responsibilities of the OIG for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(i) It is not possible to detect relevance or necessity of specific information in the early stages of a civil, criminal or other law enforcement investigation, case, or matter, including investigations in which use is made of properly classified information. Relevance and necessity are questions of judgment and timing, and it is only after the information is evaluated that the relevance and necessity of such information can be established.
</p>
<p>(ii) During the course of any investigation, the OIG may obtain information concerning actual or potential violations of laws other than those within the scope of its jurisdiction. In the interest of effective law enforcement, the OIG should retain this information, as it may aid in establishing patterns of criminal activity, and can provide valuable leads for Federal and other law enforcement agencies.
</p>
<p>(iii) In interviewing individuals or obtaining other forms of evidence during an investigation, information may be supplied to an investigator which relates to matters incidental to the primary purpose of the investigation but which may relate also to matters under the investigative jurisdiction of another agency. Such information cannot readily be segregated.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because, in some instances, the application of this provision would present a serious impediment to law enforcement for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(i) The subject of an investigation would be placed on notice as to the existence of an investigation and would therefore be able to avoid detection or apprehension, to improperly influence witnesses, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony.
</p>
<p>(ii) In certain circumstances the subject of an investigation cannot be required to provide information to investigators, and information relating to a subject’s illegal acts, violations of rules of conduct, or any other misconduct must be obtained from other sources.
</p>
<p>(iii) In any investigation it is necessary to obtain evidence from a variety of sources other than the subject of the investigation in order to verify the evidence necessary for successful litigation.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) because the application of this provision would provide the subject of an investigation with substantial information which could impede or compromise the investigation. Providing such notice to a subject of an investigation could interfere with an undercover investigation by revealing its existence, and could endanger the physical safety of confidential sources, witnesses, and investigators by revealing their identities.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(5) because the application of this provision would prevent the collection of any data not shown to be accurate, relevant, timely, and complete at the moment it is collected. In the collection of information for law enforcement purposes, it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete. Material which may seem unrelated, irrelevant, or incomplete when collected may take on added meaning or significance as an investigation progresses. The restrictions of this provision could interfere with the preparation of a complete investigative report, and thereby impede effective law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(8) because the application of this provision could prematurely reveal an ongoing criminal investigation to the subject of the investigation, and could reveal investigative techniques, procedures, or evidence.
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (g) to the extent that this system is exempt from the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d) pursuant to subsections (j)(2) and (k)(1) and (k)(2) of the Privacy Act.
</p>
<p>(c) The following system of records is exempted from 5 U.S.C. 552a(d).
</p>
<p>(1) Office of the Inspector General, Freedom of Information/Privacy Acts (FOI/PA) Records (JUSTICE/OIG-003).
</p>
<p>This exemption applies only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2), (k)(1), and (k)(2). To the extent that information in a record pertaining to an individual does not relate to official Federal investigations and law enforcement matters, the exemption does not apply. In addition, where compliance would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the overall law enforcement process, the applicable exemption may be waived by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG).
</p>
<p>(d) Exemption from subsection (d) is justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d) because access to the records contained in this system of records could inform the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory violation of the existence of that investigation; of the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to his activities; of the identity of confidential sources, witnesses, and law enforcement personnel; and of information that may enable the subject to avoid detection or apprehension. These factors would present a serious impediment to effective law enforcement where they prevent the successful completion of the investigation, endanger the physical safety of confidential sources, witnesses, and law enforcement personnel, and/or lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony. In addition, granting access to such information could disclose security-sensitive or confidential business information or information that would constitute an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of third parties. Finally, access to the records could result in the release of properly classified information which would compromise the national defense or disrupt foreign policy. Amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing investigations and law enforcement activities and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.

<p>(b) Exemption from subsection (d) is justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) Access to and use of the nonpublic records maintained in this system are restricted by law. Section 3607(b) of Title 18 U.S.C. (enacted as part of the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, Pub. L. 98-473, Chapter II) provides that the sole purpose of these records shall be for use by the courts in determining whether a person found guilty of violating section 404 of the Controlled Substances Act qualifies:
</p>
<p>(i) For the disposition available under 18 U.S.C. 3607(a) to persons with no prior conviction under a Federal or State law relating to controlled substances, or
</p>
<p>(ii) For an order, under 18 U.S.C. 3607(c), expunging all official records (except the nonpublic records to be retained by the Department of Justice) of the arrest and any subsequent criminal proceedings relating to the offense.
</p>
<p>(2) Information in this system consists of arrest records, including those of co-defendants. The records include reports of informants and investigations. Therefore, access could disclose investigative techniques, reveal the identity of confidential sources, and invade the privacy of third parties.
</p>
<p>(c) The following system of records is exempted from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) and (4); (d)(1), (2), (3), and (4); (e)(1), (2), (3), (5), and (8); and (g): Federal Bureau of Investigation Whistleblower Case Files (Justice/JMD-023). These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in a record contained within this system is subject to exemptions pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k).
</p>
<p>(d) Exemption from the particular subsections is justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) <i>Subsection (c)(3).</i> To provide the subject with an accounting of disclosures of records in this system could inform that individual of the existence, nature, or scope of an actual or potential law enforcement or counterintelligence investigation, and thereby seriously impede law enforcement or counterintelligence efforts by permitting the record subject and other persons to whom he might disclose the records to avoid criminal penalties, civil remedies, or counterintelligence measures.
</p>
<p>(2) <i>Subsection (c)(4).</i> This subsection is inapplicable to the extent that an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(3) <i>Subsection (d)(1).</i> Information within this record system could relate to official federal investigations and matters of law enforcement. Individual access to these records could compromise ongoing investigations, reveal confidential informants and/or sensitive investigative techniques used in particular investigations, or constitute unwarranted invasions of the personal privacy of third parties who are involved in a certain investigation. Disclosure may also reveal information relating to actual or potential law enforcement investigations. Disclosure of classified national security information would cause damage to the national security of the United States.
</p>
<p>(4) <i>Subsection (d)(2).</i> Amendment of these records could interfere with ongoing criminal or civil law enforcement proceedings and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.
</p>
<p>(5) <i>Subsections (d)(3) and (4).</i> These subsections are inapplicable to the extent exemption is claimed from (d)(1) and (2).
</p>
<p>(6) <i>Subsection (e)(1).</i> It is often impossible to determine in advance if investigatory information contained in this system is accurate, relevant, timely and complete, but, in the interests of effective law enforcement and counterintelligence, it is necessary to retain this information to aid in establishing patterns of activity and provide investigative leads.
</p>
<p>(7) <i>Subsection (e)(2).</i> To collect information from the subject individual could serve to notify the subject individual that he or she is the subject of a criminal investigation and thereby present a serious impediment to such investigations.
</p>
<p>(8) <i>Subsection (e)(3).</i> To inform individuals as required by this subsection could reveal the existence of a criminal investigation and compromise investigative efforts.
</p>
<p>(9) <i>Subsection (e)(5).</i> It is often impossible to determine in advance if investigatory information contained in this system is accurate, relevant, timely and complete, but, in the interests of effective law enforcement and counterintelligence, it is necessary to retain this information to aid in establishing patterns of activity and provide investigative leads.
</p>
<p>(10) <i>Subsection (e)(8).</i> To serve notice could give persons sufficient warning to evade investigative efforts.
</p>
<p>(11) <i>Subsection (g).</i> This subsection is inapplicable to the extent that the system is exempt from other specific subsections of the Privacy Act.

<p>(a) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a (c) (3) and (4); (d); (e) (1), (2) and (3), (e)(4) (G) and (H), (e) (5) and (8); (f) and (g):

</p>
<p>These exemptions apply to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k)(2).
</p>
<p>(b) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because the release of the disclosure accounting would permit the subject of an investigation to obtain valuable information concerning the nature of that investigation. This would permit record subjects to impede the investigation, e.g., destroy evidence, intimidate potential witnesses, or flee the area to avoid inquiries or apprehension by law enforcement personnel.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) since an exemption being claimed for subsection (d) makes this subsection inapplicable.
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d) because access to the records contained in this system might compromise ongoing investigations, reveal confidential informants, or constitute unwarranted invasions of the personal privacy of third parties who are involved in a certain investigation. Amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing criminal law enforcement proceedings and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring criminal investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsections (e)(1) and (e)(5) because in the course of law enforcement investigations, information may occasionally be obtained or introduced the accuracy of which is unclear or which is not strictly relevant or necessary to a specific investigation. In the interest of effective law enforcement, it is appropriate to retain all information that may aid in establishing patterns of criminal activity. Moreover, it would impede the specific investigative process if it were necessary to assure the relevance, accuracy, timeliness, and completeness of all information obtained.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because in a criminal investigation the requirement that information be collected to the greatest extent possible from the subject individual would present a serious impediment to law enforcement because the subject of the investigation would be placed on notice as to the existence of the investigation and would therefore be able to avoid detection or apprehension, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) because the requirement that individuals supplying information be provided with a form stating the requirements of subsection (e)(3) would constitute a serious impediment to law enforcement in that it would compromise the existence of a confidential investigation or reveal the identity of witnesses or confidential informants.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsections (e)(4) (G) and (H) because this system of records is exempt from the access provisions of subsection (d) pursuant to subsections (j) and (k).
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(8) because the individual notice requirement of this subsection could present a serious impediment to law enforcement in that this could interfere with the U.S. Attorney’s ability to issue subpoenas.
</p>
<p>(9) From subsections (f) and (g) because this system has been exempted from the access provisions of subsection (d).

These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system of records is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2). 
</p>
<p>(b) Exemption from the particular subsections is justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because: 
</p>
<p>(i) The purpose of the creation and maintenance of the Executive Clemency Case Files/Executive Clemency Tracking System (JUSTICE/OPA-001) is to enable the Justice Department to prepare reports and recommendations to the President for his ultimate decisions on clemency matters, which are committed to exclusive discretion of the President pursuant to Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution. 
</p>
<p>(ii) Release of the disclosure accounting, for disclosures pursuant to the routine uses published for this system, would permit the requester to obtain valuable information concerning the nature and scope of a clemency investigation, invade the right of candid and confidential communications among officials concerned with making recommendations to the President in clemency matters, and disclose the identity of persons who furnished information to the Government under an express or implied promise that their identities would be held in confidence.

<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in the system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), (k)(1), (k)(2), and (k)(5).
</p>
<p>(b) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because release of the disclosure accounting would enable the subject of an investigation to gain information concerning the existence, nature and scope of the investigation and seriously hamper law enforcement efforts.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsections (c)(4), (d), (e)(4)(G) and (H), (f) and (g) because these provisions concern individual access to records and such access might compromise ongoing investigations, reveal confidential informants and constitute unwarranted invasions of the personal privacy of third persons who provide information in connection with a particular investigation.
</p>
<p>(3) From subsections (e)(1) and (5) because the collection of information during an investigation necessarily involves material pertaining to other persons or events which is appropriate in a thorough investigation, even though portions thereof are not ultimately connected to the person or event subject to the final action or recommendation of the Office of Professional Responsibility.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(2) because collecting the information from the subject would thwart the investigation by placing the subject on notice of the investigation.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsections (e)(3) and (e)(8) because disclosure and notice would provide the subject with substantial information which could impede or compromise the investigation. For example, an investigatory subject occupying a supervisory position could, once made aware that a misconduct investigation was ongoing, put undue pressure on subordinates so as to preclude their cooperation with investigators.
</p>
<p>(c) The following system of records is exempted from 5 U.S.C. 552a(d).
</p>
<p>(1) Freedom of Information/Privacy Act (FOI/PA) Records (JUSTICE/OPR-002).
</p>
<p>This exemption applies only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), (k)(1), and (k)(2). To the extent that information in a record pertaining to an individual does not relate to national defense or foreign policy, official Federal investigations and/or law enforcement matters, the exemption does not apply. In addition, where compliance would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the overall law enforcement process, the applicable exemption may be waived by OPR.
</p>
<p>(d) Exemption from subsection (d) is justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d) because access to the records contained in this system of records could inform the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory violation of the existence of that investigation; of the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to his activities; of the identity of confidential sources, witnesses, and law enforcement personnel; and of information that may enable the subject to avoid detection or apprehension. These factors would present a serious impediment to effective law enforcement where they prevent the successful completion of the investigation, endanger the physical safety of confidential sources, witnesses, and law enforcement personnel, and/or lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony. In addition, granting access to such information could disclose security-sensitive or confidential business information or information that would constitute an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of third parties. Finally, access to the records could result in the release of properly classified information which would compromise the national defense or disrupt foreign policy. Amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing investigations and law enforcement activities and impose an enormous administrative burden by requiring investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.

</p>
<p>(b) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because the release of the disclosure accounting, for disclosures pursuant to the routine uses published for these systems, would permit the subject of a criminal investigation and/or civil case or matter under investigation, litigation, regulatory or administrative review or action, to obtain valuable information concerning the nature of that investigation, case or matter and present a serious impediment to law enforcement or civil legal activities. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d), this subsection will not be applicable. 
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d) because access to the records contained in these systems would inform the subject of criminal investigation and/or civil investigation, matter or case of the existence of that investigation, provide the subject of the investigation with information that might enable him to avoid detection, apprehension or legal obligations, and present a serious impediment to law enforcement and other civil remedies. 
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(1) because in the course of criminal investigations and/or civil investigations, cases or matters, the U.S. Attorneys often obtain information concerning the violation of laws or civil obligations other than those relating to an active case or matter. In the interests of effective law enforcement and civil litigation, it is necessary that the U.S. Attorneys retain this information since it can aid in establishing patterns of activity and provide valuable leads for other agencies and future cases that may be brought within the U.S. Attorneys’ offices. 
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because in a criminal investigation the requirement that information be collected to the greatest extent possible from the subject individual would present a serious impediment to law enforcement in that the subject of the investigation would be placed on notice of the existence of the investigation and would therefore be able to avoid detection, apprehension or legal obligations and duties.

</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(5) because in the collection of information for law enforcement purposes it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance as further investigation brings new details to light and the accuracy of such information can only be determined in a court of law. The restrictions of subsection (e)(5) would restrict the ability of trained investigators and intelligence analysts to exercise their judgment in reporting on investigations and impede the development of intelligence necessary for effective law enforcement. 
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (e)(8) because the individual notice requirements of subsection (e)(8) could present a serious impediment to law enforcement as this could interfere with the United States Attorneys’ ability to issue subpoenas and could reveal investigative techniques and procedures.

<p>These exemptions apply to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), (k)(1) and (k)(2).
</p>
<p>(d) Because this system contains Department of Justice civil and criminal law enforcement, investigatory records, exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because the release of the disclosure accounting would permit the subject of a criminal investigation and/or civil case or matter under investigation, in litigation, or under regulatory or administrative review or action to obtain valuable information concerning the nature of that investigation, case or matter, and present a serious impediment to law enforcement or civil legal activities.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) because an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records), rendering this subsection inapplicable to the extent that this system of records is exempted from subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d) because access to the records contained in these systems would inform the subject of a criminal or civil investigation, matter or case of the existence of such, and provide the subject with information that might enable him to avoid detection, apprehension or legal obligations, and present a serious impediment to law enforcement and other civil remedies. Amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing criminal law enforcement proceedings and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring criminal investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(1) because in the course of criminal investigations and/or civil investigations, cases or matters, the U.S. Attorneys often obtain information concerning the violation of laws or civil obligations other than those relating to an active case or matter. In the interests of effective law enforcement and civil litigation, it is necessary that the U.S. Attorneys retain this information since it can aid in establishing patterns of activity and provide valuable leads for other agencies and future cases that may be brought within the U.S. Attorneys’ offices.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because to collect information to the greatest extent possible from the subject individual of a criminal investigation or prosecution would present a serious impediment to law enforcement in that the subject of the investigation would be placed on notice of the existence of the investigation and would therefore be able to avoid detection, apprehension, or legal obligations and duties.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) because to provide individuals supplying information with a form stating the requirements of subsection (e)(3) would constitute a serious impediment to law enforcement in that it could compromise the existence of a confidential investigation, reveal the identity of confidential sources of information, and endanger the life and physical safety of confidential informants.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsections (e)(4) (G) and (H) because this system of records is exempt from the individual access provisions of subsection (d) and the rules provisions of subsection (f).
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(5) because in the collection of information for law enforcement purposes it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance as further investigation brings new details to light and the accuracy of such information can only be determined in a court of law. The restrictions of subsection (e)(5) would inhibit the ability of trained investigator and intelligence analysts to exercise their judgment in reporting on investigations and impede the development of intelligence necessary for effective law enforcement.

</p>
<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in these systems is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5).
</p>
<p>(f) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (d)(1) because many persons are contacted who, without an assurance of anonymity, refuse to provide information concerning a candidate for an Assistant U.S. Attorney position. Access could reveal the identity of the source of the information and constitute a breach of the promise of confidentiality on the part of the Department of Justice. Such breaches ultimately would restrict the free flow of information vital to a determination of a candidate’s qualifications and suitability.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (e)(1) because in the collection of information for investigative and evaluative purposes, it is impossible to determine in advance what exact information may be of assistance in determining the qualifications and suitability of a candidate. Information which may appear irrelevant, when combined with other seemingly irrelevant information, can on occasion provide a composite picture of a candidate for a position which assists in determining whether that candidate should be nominated for appointment.
</p>
<p>(g) The <i>Giglio</i> Impeachment Files (JUSTICE/USA-018) system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a subsections (c)(4), (e)(2), (e)(5), and (g) of the Privacy Act, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), and exempt from subsections (c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G) and (H), and (f), pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k)(2). These exemptions apply to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k)(2).
</p>
<p>(h) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3); because an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d), this subsection will not be applicable.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4); because an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d), this subsection will not be applicable.
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d); because access to the records contained in these systems is not necessary or may impede an ongoing investigation. Most information in the records is derivative from the subject’s employing agency files, and individual access will be through the employing agency’s files. Additionally, other information in the records may be related to allegations against an agent or witness that are currently being investigated. Providing access to this information would impede the ongoing investigation.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(1); because in the interest of effective law enforcement and criminal prosecution, <i>Giglio</i> records will be retained because they could later be relevant in a different case; however, this relevance cannot be determined in advance.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2); because the nature of the records in this system, which are used to impeach or demonstrate bias of a witness, requires that the information be collected from others.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsections (e)(4)(G) and (H); because this system of records is exempt from individual access pursuant to subsections (j) and (k) of the Privacy Act of 1974.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(5); because the information in these records is not being used to make a determination about the subject of the records. According to constitutional principles of fairness articulated by the Supreme Court in <i>United States</i> v. <i>Giglio,</i> the records are required to be disclosed to criminal defendants to ensure fairness of criminal proceedings.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (f); because records in this system have been exempted from the access provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (g); because records in this system are compiled for law enforcement purposes and have been exempted from the access provisions of subsections (d) and (f).
</p>
<p>(i) Consistent with the legislative purpose of the Privacy Act of 1974, the Executive Office for United States Attorneys will grant access to nonexempt material in records which are maintained by the U.S. Attorneys. Disclosure will be governed by the Department’s Privacy regulations, but will be limited to the extent that the identity of confidential sources will not be compromised; subjects of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal, civil or regulatory violation will not be alerted to the investigation; the physical safety of witnesses, informants and law enforcement personnel will not be endangered, the privacy of third parties will not be violated; and that the disclosure would not otherwise impede effective law enforcement. Whenever possible, information of the above nature will be deleted from the requested documents and the balance made available. The controlling principle behind this limited access is to allow disclosures except those indicated above.

<p><b>Exemption of the National Drug Intelligence Center Data Base--limited access.
</b></p>
<p>(a) The following system of records is exempted pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) from subsections (c) (3) and (4); (d); (e) (1), (2), and (3); (e)(4)(I); (e) (5) and (8); and (g) of 5 U.S.C. 552a. In addition, the following system of records is exempted pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a (k)(1) and (k)(2) from subsections (c)(3), (d), and (e)(1) and (e)(4)(I) of 5 U.S.C. 552a:
</p>
<p>(1) National Drug Intelligence Center Data Base (JUSTICE/NDIC-001).
</p>
<p>(2) [Reserved]
</p>
<p>(b) These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), (k)(1), and (k)(2). Where compliance would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the law enforcement process, and/or where it may be appropriate to permit individuals to contest the accuracy of the information collected, e.g., public source materials, the applicable exemption may be waived, either partially or totally, by the National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC). Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) for the same reasons that the system is exempted from the provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) because this system is exempt from the access provisions of subsection (d) pursuant to subsection (j)(2) of the Privacy Act.
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d) because disclosure to the subject could alert the subject of an investigation pertaining to narcotic trafficking or related activity of the fact and nature of the investigation, and/or of the investigative interest of NDIC and other intelligence or law enforcement agencies (including those responsible for civil proceedings related to laws against drug trafficking); lead to the destruction of evidence, improper influencing of witnesses, fabrication of testimony, and/or flight of the subject; reveal the details of a sensitive investigative or intelligence technique, or the identity of a confidential source; or otherwise impede, compromise, or interfere with investigative efforts and other related law enforcement and/or intelligence activities. In addition, disclosure could invade the privacy of third parties and/or endanger the life and safety of law enforcement personnel, confidential informants, witnesses, and potential crime victims. Finally, access to records could result in the release of properly classified information that could compromise the national defense or foreign policy. Amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing investigations and law enforcement activities and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring investigations, analyses, and reports to be continuously reinvestigated and revised.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(1) because, in the course of its acquisition, collation, and analysis of information, NDIC will need to retain information not immediately shown to be relevant to counterdrug law enforcement to establish patterns of activity and to assist other agencies charged with the enforcement of laws and regulations regarding drug trafficking and charged with the acquisition of intelligence related to international aspects of drug trafficking. This consideration applies equally to information acquired from, or collated or analyzed for, both law enforcement agencies and agencies of the U.S. foreign intelligence community.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because application of this provision could present a serious impediment to law enforcement in that it would put the subject of an investigation, study or analysis on notice of the fact of such investigation, study, or analysis, thereby permitting the subject to engage in conduct intended to frustrate the activity; because, in some circumstances, the subject of an investigation may not be required to provide to investigators certain information; and because thorough analysis and investigation may require seeking information from a number of different sources.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) (to the extent applicable) because the requirement that individuals supplying information be provided a form stating the requirements of subsection (e)(3) would constitute a serious impediment to law enforcement in that it could compromise the existence of a confidential investigation and reveal the identity of confidential informants and endanger their lives and safety.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(4)(I), to the extent that this subsection is interpreted to require more detail regarding the record sources in this system than have been published in the <i>Federal Register.</i> Should the subsection be so interpreted, exemption from this provision is necessary to protect the confidentiality of the sources of criminal and other law enforcement information and to protect the privacy and physical safety of witnesses and informants. Furthermore, greater specificity concerning the sources of properly classified records could compromise national defense or foreign policy.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(5) because the acquisition, collation, and analysis of information for law enforcement purposes does not permit advance determination whether such information is accurate or relevant, nor can such information be limited to that which is complete or apparently timely. Information of this type often requires further analysis and investigation to develop into a comprehensive whole that which is otherwise incomplete or even fragmentary. Moreover, its accuracy is continually subject to analysis and review, and, upon careful examination, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire added significance as additional information brings new details to light. The restrictions imposed by subsection (e)(5) would restrict the ability of trained investigators and intelligence analysts to exercise their judgment in collating and analyzing information and would impede the development of criminal intelligence necessary for effective law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (e)(8) because the individual notice requirements of subsection (e)(8) could present a serious impediment to law enforcement by revealing investigative techniques, procedures, or evidence.
</p>
<p>(10) From subsection (g) to the extent that the system is exempt from subsection (d).

</p>
<p>(1) The Executive Office for Immigration Review’s Records and Management Information System (JUSTICE/EOIR-001).
</p>
<p>This exemption applies only to the extent that information in the system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k) (1) and (2). 
</p>
<p>(b) Exemption from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (d) because access to information which has been properly classified pursuant to an Executive Order could have an adverse effect on the national security. In addition, from subsection (d) because unauthorized access to certain investigatory material could compromise ongoing or potential investigations; reveal the identity of confidential informants; or constitute unwarranted invasions of the personal privacy of third parties. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (d) (2), (3), and (4) because the record of proceeding constitutes an official record which includes transcripts of quasi-judicial administrative proceedings, investigatory materials, evidentiary materials such as exhibits, decisional memoranda, and other case-related papers. Administrative due process could not be achieved by the ex parte “correction” of such materials by the individual who is the subject thereof.
</p>
<p>(c) The following system of records is exempted form 5 U.S.C. 552a(d).
</p>
<p>(1) Practitioner Compliant/Disciplinary Files (JUSTICE/EOIR 003). This exemption applies only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), (k)(1), and (k)(2). To the extent that information in a record pertaining to an individual does not relate to national defense or foreign policy, official Federal investigations and/or law enforcement matters, the exemption does not apply. In addition, where compliance would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the overall law or regulatory enforcement process, the applicable exemption may be waived by the Executive Office for Immigration Review.
</p>
<p>(d) Exemption from subsection (d) is justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d) because access to the records contained in this system of records could inform the subject of the investigation of an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory violation or the existence of that investigation; of the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to the subject’s activities; of the identity of confidential sources, witnesses, and law enforcement personnel; and of information that may enable the subject to avoid detection or apprehension. These factors would present a serious impediment to effective law and regulatory enforcement where they prevent the successful completion of the investigation, endanger the physical safety of confidential sources, witnesses, and law enforcement personnel, and/or lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony. In addition, granting access to such information could disclose security-sensitive or confidential business information or information that would constitute an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of third parties. Finally, access to the records could result in the release of properly classified information which would compromise the national defense or disrupt foreign policy. Amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing investigations and law enforcement activities and impose an enormous administrative burden by requiring investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.

</p>
<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in these systems is subject to exemptions pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2).
</p>
<p>(b) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because revealing disclosure of accountings to inmates and persons on supervision could compromise legitimate law enforcement activities and U.S. Parole Commission responsibilities. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) because the exemption from subsection (d) will make notification of disputes inapplicable. 
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d) because this is essential to protect internal processes by which Commission personnel are able to formulate decisions and policies with regard to federal prisoners and persons under supervision, to prevent disclosures of information to federal inmates or persons on supervision that would jeopardize legitimate correctional interests of security, custody, supervision, or rehabilitation, to permit receipt of relevant information from other federal agencies, state and local law enforcement agencies, and federal and state probation and judicial offices, to allow private citizens to express freely their opinions for or against parole, to allow relevant criminal history type information of co-defendants to be kept in files, to allow medical, psychiatric and sociological material to be available to professional staff, and to allow a candid process of fact selection, opinion formulation, evaluation and recommendation to be continued by professional staff. The legal files contain case development material and, in addition to other reasons, should be exempt under the attorney-client privilege. Each labor or pension applicant has had served upon him the material in his file which he did not prepare and may see his own file at any time. 
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(2) because primary collection of information directly from federal inmates or persons on supervision about criminal sentence, criminal records, institutional performance, readiness for release from custody, or need to be returned to custody is highly impractical and inappropriate. 
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(3) because application of this provision to the operations and collection of information by the Commission which is primarily from sources other than the individual, is inappropriate. 
</p>
<p>(6) From subsections (e)(4) (G) and (H) because exemption from the access provisions of (d) makes publication of agency procedures under (d) inapplicable. 
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(8) because the nature of the Commission’s activities renders notice of compliance with compulsory legal process impractical. 
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (f) because exemption from the provisions of subsection (d) will render compliance with provisions of this subsection inapplicable. 
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (g) because exemption from the provisions of subsection (d) will render the provisions on suits to enforce (d) inapplicable. 
</p>
<p>(c) Consistent with the legislative purpose of the Privacy Act of 1974 the U.S. Parole Commission will initiate a procedure whereby present and former prisoners and parolees may obtain copies of material in files relating to them that are maintained by the U.S. Parole Commission. Disclosure of the contents will be affected by providing copies of documents to requesters through the mails. Disclosure will be made to the same extent as would be made under the substantive exemptions of the Parole Commission and Reorganization Act of 1976 (18 U.S.C. 4208) and Rule 32 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. The procedure relating to disclosure of documents may be changed generally in the interest of improving the Commission’s system of disclosure or when required by pending or future decisions and directions of the Department of Justice.

</p>
<p>(3) <i>Subsection (d).</i> To the extent that information contained in these systems has been properly classified, relates to the investigation and/or prosecution of grand jury, civil fraud, and other law enforcement matters, disclosure could compromise matters which should be kept secret in the interest of national security or foreign policy; compromise confidential investigations or proceedings; hamper sensitive civil or criminal investigations; impede affirmative enforcement actions based upon alleged violations of regulations or of civil or criminal laws; reveal the identity of confidential sources; and result in unwarranted invasions of the privacy of others. Amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing criminal law enforcement proceedings and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring criminal investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.

In the interest of effective law enforcement, it is necessary to retain such information since it may establish patterns of criminal activity or avoidance of other civil obligations and provide leads for Federal and other law enforcement agencies.
</p>
<p>(5) <i>Subsection (e)(2).</i> To collect information from the subject of a criminal investigation or prosecution would present a serious impediment to law enforcement in that the subject (and others to whom the subject might be in contact) would be informed of the existence of the investigation and would therefore be able to avoid detection or apprehension, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony.

<p>(10) <i>Subsection (e)(8).</i> To serve notice could give persons sufficient warning to evade investigative efforts.
</p>
<p>(11) <i>Subsection (g).</i> This subsection is inapplicable to the extent that the system is exempt from other specific subsections of the Privacy Act.

</p>
<p><b>&#167; 16.91
</b></p>
<p><b>Exemption of Criminal Division Systems--limited access, as indicated. 
</b></p>
<p>(a) The following systems of records are exempted pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) from subsections (c) (3) and (4), (d), (e) (1), (2) and (3), (e)(4) (G), (H) and (I), (e) (5) and (8), (f) and (g) of 5 U.S.C. 552a; in addition, the following systems of records are exempted pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a (k)(1) and (k)(2) from subsections (c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4) (G), (H), and (I), and (f) of 5 U.S.C. 552a: 
</p>
<p>(1) Central Criminal Division, Index File and Associated Records System of Records (JUSTICE/CRM-001)--Limited Access. This system of records and associated exemptions is adopted by and applies with equal force and effect to the National Security Division, until modified, superseded, or revoked in accordance with law.
</p>
<p>(2) General Crimes Section, Criminal Division, Central Index File and Associated Records System of Records (JUSTICE/CRM-004)--Limited Access.
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply to the extent that information in those systems are subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2), (k)(1) and (k)(2). 
</p>
<p>(b) The systems of records listed under paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) of this section are exempted, for the reasons set forth, from the following provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a: 
</p>
<p>(1). (c)(3). The release of the disclosure accounting for disclosures made pursuant to subsection (b) of the Act, including those permitted under the routine uses published for these systems of records, would permit the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory violation to determine whether he is the subject of investigation, or to obtain valuable information concerning the nature of that investigation, and the information obtained, or the identity of witnesses and informants and would therefore present a serious impediment to law enforcement. In addition, disclosure of the accounting would amount to notice to the individual of the existence of a record; such notice requirement under subsection (f)(1) is specifically exempted for these systems of records. 
</p>
<p>(2). (c)(4). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records) this subsection is inapplicable to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsection (d). 
</p>
<p>(3). (d). Access to the records contained in these systems would inform the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory violation of the existence of that investigation, or the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to his activities, of the identity of witnesses and informants, or would provide information that could enable the subject to avoid detection or apprehension. These factors would present a serious impediment to effective law enforcement because they could prevent the successful completion of the investigation, endanger the physical safety of witnesses or informants, and lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony. 
</p>
<p>(4). (e)(1). The notices of these systems of records published in the <i>Federal Register</i> set forth the basic statutory or related authority for maintenance of this system. However, in the course of criminal or other law enforcement investigations, cases, and matters, the Criminal Division or its components will occasionally obtain information concerning actual or potential violations of law that are not strictly within its statutory or other authority or may compile information in the course of an investigation which may not be relevant to a specific prosecution. In the interests of effective law enforcement, it is necessary to retain such information in these systems of records since it can aid in establishing patterns of criminal activity and can provide valuable leads for federal and other law enforcement agencies. 
</p>
<p>(5). (e)(2). In a criminal investigation or prosecution, the requirement that information be collected to the greatest extent practicable from the subject individual would present a serious impediment to law enforcement because the subject of the investigation or prosecution would be placed on notice as to the existence of the investigation and would therefore be able to avoid detection or apprehension, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony. 
</p>
<p>(6). (e)(3). The requirement that individuals supplying information be provided with a form stating the requirements of subsection (e)(3) would constitute a serious impediment to law enforcement in that it could compromise the existence of a confidential investigation or reveal the identity of witnesses or confidential informants. 
</p>
<p>(7). (e)(4) (G) and (H). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (f) (Agency Rules) and (d) (Access to Records) of the Act these subsections are inapplicable to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsections (f) and (d). 
</p>
<p>(8). (e)(4)(I). The categories of sources of the records in these systems have been published in the <i>Federal Register</i> in broad generic terms in the belief that this is all that subsection (e)(4)(I) of the Act requires. In the event, however, that this subsection should be interpreted to require more detail as to the identity of sources of the records in these systems, exemption from this provision is necessary in order to protect the confidentiality of the sources of criminal and other law enforcement information. Such exemption is further necessary to protect the privacy and physical safety of witnesses and informants. 
</p>
<p>(9). (e)(5). In the collection of information for criminal law enforcement purposes it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance as further investigation brings new details to light and the accuracy of such information can often only be determined in a court of law. The restrictions of subsection (e)(5) would restrict the ability of trained investigators, intelligence analysts, and government attorneys in exercising their judgment in reporting on information and investigations and impede the development of criminal or other intelligence necessary for effective law enforcement. 
</p>
<p>(10). (e)(8). The individual notice requirements of subsection (e)(8) could present a serious impediment to law enforcement as this could interfere with the ability to issue warrants or subpoenas and could reveal investigative techniques, procedures, or evidence. 
</p>
<p>(11). (f). Procedures for notice to an individual pursuant to subsection (f)(1) as to the existence of records pertaining to him dealing with an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory investigation or prosecution must be exempted because such notice to an individual would be detrimental to the successful conduct and/or completion of an investigation or prosecution pending or future. In addition, mere notice of the fact of an investigation could inform the subject or others that their activities are under or may become the subject of an investigation and could enable the subjects to avoid detection or apprehension, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony. 
</p>
<p>Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records) the rules require pursuant to subsection (f) (2) through (5) are inapplicable to these systems of records to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsection (d). 
</p>
<p>(12). (g). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (d) (Access to Records) and (f) (Agency Rules) this section is inapplicable, and is exempted for the reasons set forth for those subsections, to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsections (d) and (f). 
</p>
<p>(13). In addition, exemption is claimed for these systems of records from compliance with the following provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1): Subsections (c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4) (G), (H) and (I) and (f) to the extent that the records contained in these systems are specifically authorized to be kept secret in the interests of national defense and foreign policy.
</p>
<p>(c) The following system of records is exempted pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(j) (2) from subsection (c) (3) and (4), (d), (e) (1), (2) and (3), (e) (4) (G), (H) and (I), (e) (5) and (8), (f) and (g) of 5 U.S.C. 552a: 
</p>
<p>Criminal Division Witness Security File System of Records(JUSTICE/CRM-002).
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2).
</p>
<p>(d) The system of records listed under paragraph (c) of this section is exempted, for the reasons set forth, from the following provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a: 
</p>
<p>(1). (c)(3) The release of the disclosure accounting for disclosures made pursuant to subsection (b) of the Act, including those permitted under the routine uses published for these systems of records, would permit the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal violation, which may include those protected under the Witness Security Program, to determine whether he is the subject of a criminal investigation, to obtain valuable information concerning the nature of that investigation and the information obtained, or the identity of witnesses and informants and the nature of their reports, and would therefore present a serious impediment to law enforcement. In addition, disclosure of the accounting would amount to notice to the individual of the existence of a record; such notice requirement under subsection (f)(1) is specifically exempted for these systems of records. Moreover, disclosure of the disclosure accounting to an individual protected under the Witness Security Program could jeopardize the effectiveness and security of the Program by revealing the methods and techniques utilized in relocating witnesses and could therefore jeopardize the ability to obtain, and to protect the confidentiality of, information compiled for purposes of a criminal investigation. 
</p>
<p>(2). (c)(4) Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records) this section is inapplicable. 
</p>
<p>(3). (d) Access to the records contained in these systems would inform the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal violation, which may include those protected under the Witness Security Program, of the existence of that investigation, of the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to his activities, of the identity of witnesses and informants, or would provide information that could enable the subject to avoid detection or apprehension. These factors would present a serious impediment to effective law enforcement because they could prevent the successful completion of the investigation, endanger the physical safety of witnesses or informants, and lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony. In addition, access to the records in these systems to an individual protected under the Witness Security Program could jeopardize the effectiveness and security of the Program by revealing the methods and techniques utilized in relocating witnesses and could therefore jeopardize the ability to obtain, and to protect the confidentiality of, information compiled for purposes of a criminal investigation. 
</p>
<p>(4). Exemption is claimed from subsection (e)(1) for the reasons stated in subsection (b)(4) of this section. 
</p>
<p>(5). (e)(2) In the course of preparing a Witness Security Program for an individual, much of the information is collected from the subject. However, the requirement that the information be collected to the greatest extent practicable from the subject individual would present a serious impediment to criminal law enforcement because the individual himself may be the subject of a criminal investigation or have been a participant in, or observer of, criminal activity. As a result, it is necessary to seek information from other sources. In addition, the failure to verify the information provided from the individual when necessary and to seek other information could jeopardize the confidentiality of the Witness Security Program and lead to the obtaining and maintenance of incorrect and uninvestigated information on criminal matters. 
</p>
<p>(6). (e)(3) The requirement that individuals supplying information be provided with a form stating the requirements of subsection (e)(3) would constitute a serious impediment to law enforcement in that it could compromise or reveal the identity of witnesses and informants protected under the Witness Security Program. 
</p>
<p>(7). (e)(4) (G) and (H). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (f) (Agency Rules) and (d) (Access to Records) of the Act these subsections are inapplicable. 
</p>
<p>(8). (e)(4)(I). The categories of sources of the records in these systems have been published in the <i>Federal Register</i> in broad generic terms in the belief that this is all that subsection (e)(4)(I) of the Act requires. In the event, however, that this subsection should be interpreted to require more detail as to the identity of sources of the records in the system, exemption from this provision is necessary in order to protect the confidentiality of the sources of criminal law, enforcement information and of witnesses and informants protected under the Witness Security Program. 
</p>
<p>(9). Exemption is claimed from subsections (e)(5) and (e)(8) for the reasons stated in subsection (b)(9) and (b)(10) of this section. 
</p>
<p>(10). Procedures for notice to an individual pursuant to subsection (f)(1) as to the existence of records contained in these systems pertaining to him would inform the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal violation, which may include those protected under the Witness Security Program, of the existence of that investigation, of the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to his activities, of the identity of witnesses and informants, or would provide information that could enable the subject to avoid detection or apprehension. These factors would present a serious impediment to effective law enforcement because they could prevent the successful conduct and/or completion of an investigation pending or future, endanger the physical safety of witnesses or informants, and lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony. In addition, notices as to the existence of records contained in these systems to an individual protected under the Witness Security Program could jeopardize the effectiveness and security of the Program by revealing the methods and techniques utilized in relocating witnesses and could therefore jeopardize the ability to obtain, and to protect the confidentiality of, information compiled for purposes of a criminal investigation. 
</p>
<p>Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records) the rules required pursuant to subsection (f) (2) through (5) are inapplicable. 
</p>
<p>(11). (g) Since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (d) (Access to Records) and (f) (Agency Rules) this section is inapplicable and is exempted for the reasons set forth for those subsections.
</p>
<p>(e) The following system of records is exempted pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) from subsections (c) (3) and (4), (d), (e) (4) (G), (H) and (I), (f), and (g) of 5 U.S.C. 552a: 
</p>
<p>Organized Crime and Racketeering Section, Intelligence and Special Services Unit, Information Request System of Records (JUSTICE/CRM-014).
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2).
</p>
<p>(f) The system of records listed under paragraph (e) of this section is exempted for the reasons set forth, from the following provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a: 
</p>
<p>(1). (c)(3). The release of the disclosure accounting for disclosures made pursuant to subsection (b) of the Act, including those permitted under the routine uses published for these systems of records, would permit the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal violation to determine whether he is the subject of a criminal investigation and would therefore present a serious impediment to law enforcement. The records in these systems contain the names of the subjects of the files in question and the system is accessible by name of the person checking out the file and by name of the subject of the file. In addition, disclosure of the accounting would amount to notice to the individual of the existence of a record; such notice requirement under subsection (f)(1) is specifically exempted for these systems of records. 
</p>
<p>(2). (c)(4). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records) this section is inapplicable. 
</p>
<p>(3). (d). Access to the records contained in these systems would inform the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal violation of the existence of that investigation. This would present a serious impediment to effective law enforcement because it could prevent the successful completion of the investigation, endanger the physical safety of witnesses or informants, and lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony. 
</p>
<p>(4). Exemption is claimed from subsections (e)(4) (G), (H) and (I) for the reasons stated in subsections (b)(7) and (b)(8) of this section. 
</p>
<p>(5). (f). These systems may be accessed by the name of the person who is the subject of the file and who may also be the subject of a criminal investigation. Procedures for notice to an individual pursuant to subsection (f)(1) as to the existence of records pertaining to him, which may deal with an actual or potential criminal investigation or prosecution, must be exempted because such notice to an individual would be detrimental to the successful conduct and/or completion of the investigation or prosecution pending or future. In addition mere notice of the fact of an investigation could inform the subject or others that their activities are under or may become the subject of an investigation and could enable the subjects to avoid detection or apprehension, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony. 
</p>
<p>Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records) the rules required pursuant to subsection (f) (2) through (5) are inapplicable. 
</p>
<p>(6). (g). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (d) (Access to Records) and (f) (Agency Rules) of the Act this section is inapplicable and is exempted for the reasons set forth for those subsections.
</p>
<p>(g) The following system of records is exempted pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) from subsections (c)(4), (d), (e)(4) (G), (H) and (I), (f) and (g) of 5 U.S.C. 552a. 
</p>
<p>File of Names Checked to Determine If Those Individuals Have Been the Subject of an Electronic Surveillance System of Records (JUSTICE/CRM-003).
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2). 
</p>
<p>(h) The system of records listed under paragraph (g) of this section is exempted, for the reasons set forth, from the following provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a: 
</p>
<p>(1). (c)(4). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records) this section is inapplicable to the extent that this system of records is exempted from subsection (d). 
</p>
<p>(2). (d). The records contained in this system of records generally consist of information filed with the court in response to the request and made available to the requestor. To the extent that these records have been so filed, no exemption is sought from the provisions of this subsection. Occasionally, the records contain pertinent logs of intercepted communications and other investigative reports not filed with the court. These records must be exempted because access to such records could inform the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal violation of the existence of that investigation and of the nature of the information and evidence obtained by the government. This would present a serious impediment to effective law enforcement because it could prevent the successful completion of the investigation, endanger the physical safety of witnesses or informants, and lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony. 
</p>
<p>(3). Exemption is claimed from subsections (e)(4) (G), (H) and (I) for the reasons stated in subsections (b)(7) and (b)(8) of this section. 
</p>
<p>(4). (f). The records contained in this system of records generally consist of information filed with the court and made available to the requestor. To the extent that these records have been so filed, no exemption is sought from the provisions of this subsection. Occasionally, the records contain pertinent logs of intercepted communications and other investigative reports not filed with the court. These records must be exempted from a requirement of notification as to their existence because such notice to an individual would be detrimental to the successful conduct and/or completion of a criminal investigation or prosecution pending or future. In addition, mere notice of the existence of such logs or investigative reports could inform the subject or others that their activities are under or may become the subject of an investigation and could enable the subjects to avoid detection or apprehension, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony. 
</p>
<p>Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records) the rules required pursuant to subsection (f) (2) through (5) are inapplicable to the extent that this system of records is exempted for subsection (d). 
</p>
<p>(6). (g). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (d) (Access to Records) and (f) (Agency Rules) this section is inapplicable, and is exempted for the reasons set forth for those subsections, to the extent that this system of records is exempted from subsections (d) and (f).
</p>
<p>(i) The following systems of records are exempted pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) from subsections (c) (3) and (4), (d), (e) (1), (2), and (3), (e)(4) (G), (H), and (I), (e) (5) and (8), (f) and (g) of 5 U.S.C. 552a:

</p>
<p>(j) The systems of records listed in paragraphs (i)(1), (i)(2), and (i)(3) of this section are exempted, for the reasons set forth, from the following provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a:
</p>
<p>(1)(c)(3) The release of the disclosure accounting for disclosures made pursuant to subsection (b) of the act, including those permitted under the routine uses published for these systems of records, would permit the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal violation to determine whether he is the subject of a criminal investigation, to obtain valuable information concerning the nature of that investigation, and the information obtained, or the identity of witnesses and informants, and would therefore present a serious impediment to law enforcement. In addition, disclosure of the accounting would amount to notice to the individual of the existence of a record; such notice requirement under subsection (f)(1) is specifically exempted for this system of records.
</p>
<p>(2)(c)(4) Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the act (access to records), this section is inapplicable to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(3)(d) Access to the records contained in these systems would inform the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal violation of the existence of that investigation, of the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to his activities, of the identity of witnesses and informants, or would provide information that could enable the subject to avoid detection or apprehension. These factors would present a serious impediment to effective law enforcement because they could prevent the successful completion of the investigation, endanger the physical safety of witnesses or informants, and lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony. 
</p>
<p>(4) Exemption is claimed from subsections (e) (1), (2), and (3), (e)(4) (G), (H), and (I), (e)(5) and (e)(8) for the reasons stated in subsections (b)(4), (b)(5), (b)(6), (b)(7), (b)(8), (b)(9), and (b)(10) of this section.
</p>
<p>(5)(f) Procedures for notice to an individual pursuant to subsection (f)(1) as to the existence of records pertaining to him dealing with an actual or potential criminal investigation or prosecution must be exempted because such notice to an individual would be detrimental to the successful conduct and/or completion of an investigation or prosecution pending or future. In addition, mere notice of the fact of an investigation could inform the subject or others that their activities are under or may become the subject of an investigation and could enable the subjects to avoid detection or apprehension, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony. Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the act (access to records), the rules required pursuant to subsection (f) (2) through (5) are inapplicable to these systems of records.
</p>

</p>
<p>(2). (e)(1). The notice for this system of records published in the <i>Federal Register</i> sets forth the basic statutory or related authority for maintenance of this system. However, in the course of criminal investigations, cases, and matters, the Organized Crime and Racketeering Section will occasionally obtain information concerning actual or potential violations of law that are not strictly within its statutory or other authority, or may compile information in the course of an investigation which may not be relevant to a specific prosecution. In the interests of effective law enforcement, it is necessary to retain such information in this system of records since it can aid in establishing patterns of criminal activity and can provide valuable leads for federal and other law enforcement agencies.

The release of the disclosure accounting for disclosures made pursuant to subsection (b) of the Act, including those permitted under the routine uses published for these systems of records, would permit the subject of an electronic interception to obtain valuable information concerning the interception, including information as to whether he is the subject of a criminal investigation, by means other than those provided for by statute. Such information could interfere with the successful conduct and/or completion of a criminal investigation, and would therefore present a serious impediment to law enforcement. In addition, disclosure of the accounting would amount to notice to the individual of the existence of a record; such notice requirement under subsection (f)(1) is specifically exempted for these systems of records. 
</p>
<p>(2). (c)(4). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records) this section is inapplicable. 
</p>
<p>(3). (d). Access to the records contained in these systems would inform the subject of an electronic interception of the existence of such surveillance including information as to whether he is the subject of a criminal investigation by means other than those provided for by statute. This could interfere with the successful conduct and/or completion of a criminal investigation and therefore present a serious impediment to law enforcement. 
</p>
<p>(4). (e)(2). In the context of an electronic interception, the requirement that information be collected to the greatest extent practicable from the subject individual would present a serious impediment to law enforcement because the subject of the investigation or prosecution would be placed on notice as to the existence of the investigation and this would therefore destroy the efficacy of the interception. 
</p>
<p>(5). (e)(3). The requirement that individuals supplying information be provided with a form stating the requirements of subsection (e)(3) would constitute a serious impediment to law enforcement in that it could compromise the existence of a confidential electronic interception or reveal the identity of witnesses or confidential informants. 
</p>
<p>(6). (e)(4) (G) and (H). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (f) (Agency Rules) and (d) (Access to Records) of the Act these subsections are inapplicable. 
</p>
<p>(7). Exemption is claimed from subsections (e)(4)(I) and (e)(8) for the reasons stated in subsections (b)(8) and (b)(10) of this section. 
</p>
<p>(8). (f). Procedures for notice to an individual pursuant to subsection (f)(1) as to the existence of records pertaining to him dealing with an electronic interception other than pursuant to statute must be exempted because such notice to an individual would be detrimental to the successful conduct and/or completion of an investigation pending or future. In addition, mere notice of the fact of an electronic interception could inform the subject or others that their activities are under or may become the subject of an investigation and could enable the subjects to avoid detection or apprehension, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony. 
</p>
<p>Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records) the rules required pursuant to subsection (f)(2) through (5) are inapplicable to these systems of records to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsection (d). 
</p>
<p>(9). (g). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) (Access to Records) and (f) (Agency Rules) this section is inapplicable, and is exempted for the reasons set forth for those subsections, to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsection (d) and (f).
</p>
<p>(o) The following system of records is exempted pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) from subsections (c) (3) and (4), (d), (e) (2) and (3), (e) (4) (G), (H), and (I), (e)(8), (f) and (g) of 5 U.S.C. 552a; in addition the following system of records is exempted pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1) and (k)(2) from subsections (c)(3), (d), (e)(4) (G), (H) and (I), and (f) of 5 U.S.C. 552a: 
</p>
<p>Witness Immunity Records System of Records (JUSTICE/CRM-022).
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2) and (k)(1) and (k)(2). 
</p>
<p>(p) The system of records listed under paragraph (q) [2] of this section is exempted, for the reasons set forth, from the following provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a: 
</p>
<p>[2] Paragraph (q) was redesignated as paragraph (o) at 44 FR 54046, Sept. 18, 1979.
</p>
<p>(1). (c)(3). Release of the accounting of disclosures made pursuant to subsection (b) of the Act, including those permitted under the routine uses published for this system of records, (a) as to a witness for whom immunity has been proposed, would inform the individual of the existence of the proposed immunity prematurely, thus creating a serious impediment to effective law enforcement in that the witness could flee, destroy evidence, or fabricate testimony; and (b) as to a witness to whom immunity has been granted, or for whom it has been denied, would reveal the nature and scope of the activities, if any, of the witness known to the government, which would also create a serious impediment to effective law enforcement. 
</p>
<p>(2). (c)(4). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records) this section is inapplicable to the extent that this system of records is exempted from subsection (d). 
</p>
<p>(3). (d). Access to the records contained in this system (a) as to a witness for whom immunity has been proposed, would inform the individual of the existence of the proposed immunity prematurely, thus presenting a serious impediment to effective law enforcement in that the witness could flee, destroy evidence, or fabricate testimony; and (b) as to a witness to whom immunity has been granted, or for whom it has been denied, would reveal the nature and scope of the activities, if any, of the witness known to the government, which would also create a serious impediment to effective law enforcement. 
</p>
<p>(4). (e)(2). In a witness immunity request matter, the requirement that information be collected to the greatest extent practicable from the subject individual would present a serious impediment to law enforcement because the subject of the immunity request and often the subject of the underlying investigation or prosecution would be placed on notice as to the existence of the investigation and would therefore be able to avoid detection or apprehension, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony. 
</p>
<p>(5). Exemption is claimed from subsections (e)(3), (e)(4)(G), (H) and (I), and (e)(8) for the reasons stated in subsections (b)(6), (b)(7), (b)(8) and (b)(10) of this section. 
</p>
<p>(6). (f). Procedures for notice to an individual pursuant to subsection (f)(1) as to the existence of records pertaining to him (a) as to a witness for whom immunity has been proposed, would inform the individual of the existence of the proposed immunity prematurely, thus presenting a serious impediment to effective law enforcement in that the witness could flee, destroy evidence, or fabricate testimony; and (b) as to a witness to whom immunity has been granted, or for whom it has been denied, would reveal the nature and scope of the activity, if any, of the witness known to the government, which would also create a serious impediment to effective law enforcement. 
</p>
<p>Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records) the rules required pursuant to subsection (f)(2) through (5) are inapplicable to this system of records to the extent that this system of records is exempted from subsection (d). 
</p>
<p>(7). (g). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (d) (Access to Records) and (f) (Agency Rules) this section is inapplicable, and is exempted for the reasons set forth for those subsections, to the extent that this system of records is exempted for subsections (d) and (f). 
</p>
<p>(8). In addition, exemption is claimed for this system of records from compliance with the following provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1): subsections (c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4) (G), (H) and (I) and (f) to the extent that the records contained in this system are specifically authorized to be kept secret in the interests of national defense and foreign policy.
</p>
<p>(q) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c) (3) and (4), (d), (e) (1), (2) and (3), (e)(4) (G), (H) and (I), (e) (5) and (8), (f), and (g): 
</p>
<p>(1) Freedom of Information/Privacy Act Records (JUSTICE/CRM-024)
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), (k)(1) and (k)(2). 
</p>
<p>(r) Because this system contains Department of Justice civil and criminal law enforcement, investigatory records, it is exempted for the reasons set forth from the following provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a:
</p>
<p>(1)(c)(3). The release of the disclosure accounting would present a serious impediment to law enforcement by permitting the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory violation to determine whether he is the subject of investigation, or to obtain valuable information concerning the nature of that investigation and the information obtained, or to identify witnesses and informants. 
</p>
<p>(2)(c)(4). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records), this subsection is inapplicable to the extent that this system of records is exempted from subsection (d). 
</p>
<p>(3)(d). Access to records contained in this system would enable the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal or civil case or regulatory violation to determine whether he or she is the subject of investigation, to obtain valuable information concerning the nature and scope of the investigation, and information or evidence obtained as to his/her activities, to identify witnesses and informants, or to avoid detection or apprehension. Such results could prevent the successful completion of the investigation, endanger the physical safety of witnesses or informants, lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony, and thereby present a serious impediment to effective law enforcement. Amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing criminal law enforcement proceedings and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring criminal investigations to be continuously reinvestigated. 
</p>
<p>(4)(e)(1). In the course of criminal or other law enforcement investigations, cases, and matters, the Criminal Division will occasionally obtain information concerning actual or potential violations of law that are not strictly within its statutory or other authority, or it may compile information in the course of an investigation which may not be relevant to a specific prosecution. In the interests of effective law enforcement, it is necessary to retain such information since it can aid in establishing patterns of criminal activity and can provide valuable leads for Federal and other law enforcement agencies. 
</p>
<p>(5)(e)(2). To collect information to the greatest extent practicable from the subject individual of a criminal investigation or prosecution would present a serious impediment to law enforcement. The nature of criminal and other investigative activities is such that vital information about an individual can only be obtained from other persons who are familiar with such individual and his/her activities. In such investigations it is not feasible to rely upon information furnished by the individual concerning his own activities.
</p>
<p>(6) (e)(3). To provide individuals supplying information with a form stating the requirements of subsection (e)(3) would constitute a serious impediment to law enforcement in that it could compromise the existence of a confidential investigation or reveal the identity of witnesses or confidential informants.
</p>
<p>(7)(e)(4) (G) and (H). These subsections are inapplicable to the extent that this system is exempt from the access provisions of subsection (d) and the rules provisions of subsection (f).
</p>
<p>(8)(e)(4)(I). The categories of sources of the records in this system have been published in the <i>Federal Register</i> in broad generic terms in the belief that this is all that subsection (e)(4)(I) of the Act requires. In the event, however, that this subsection should be interpreted to require more detail as to the identity of sources of the records in this system, exemption from this provision is necessary to protect the confidentiality of the sources of criminal and other law enforcement information. Such exemption is further necessary to protect the privacy and physical safety of witnesses and informants.
</p>
<p>(9) (e)(5). In the collection of information for criminal law enforcement purposes it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance as further investigation brings new details to light and the accuracy of such information can often only be determined in a court of law. The restrictions of subsection (e)(5) would inhibit the ability of trained investigators, intelligence analysts, and government attorneys in exercising their judgment in reporting on information and investigations and impede the development of criminal or other intelligence necessary for effective law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(10)(e)(8). The individual notice requirements of subsection (e)(8) could present a serious impediment to law enforcement as this could interfere with the ability to issue warrants or subpoenas and could reveal investigative techniques, procedures, or evidence.
</p>
<p>(11)(f). This subsection is inapplicable to the extent that this system is exempt from the access provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(12)(g). Because some of the records in this system contain information which was compiled for law enforcement purposes and have been exempted from the access provisions of subsection (d), subsection (g) is inapplicable.
</p>
<p>(s) The following system of records is exempted from 5 U.S.C. 552a(d).
</p>
<p>Office of Special Investigations Displaced Persons Listings (JUSTICE/CRM-027).
</p>
<p>This exemption applies to the extent that the records in this system are subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2).
</p>
<p>(t) Exemption from subsection (d) is justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) Access to records contained in this system could inform the subject of the identity of witnesses or informants. The release of such information could present a serious impediment to effective law enforcement by endangering the physical safety of witnesses or informants; by leading to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony; or by otherwise preventing the successful completion of an investigation.

<p><b>Exemption of Environment and Natural Resources Division Systems--limited access. 
</b></p>
<p>(a)(1) The following system of records is exempted pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) from subsections (c)(3) and (4), (d), (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(5), (e)(8), (f) and (g); in addition, the following systems of records are exempted pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1) and (k)(2) from subsections (c)(3), (d), and (e)(1):
</p>
<p>(i) Environment and Natural Resources Division Case and Related Files System, JUSTICE/ENRD-003.
</p>
<p>(ii) [Reserved]
</p>
<p>(2) These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system relates to the investigation, prosecution or defense of actual or potential criminal or civil litigation, or which has been properly classified in the interest of national defense and foreign policy, and therefore is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), (k)(1) and (k)(2). To the extent that information in a record pertaining to an individual does not relate to national defense or foreign policy, official Federal investigations, and/or law enforcement matters, the exemption does not apply. In addition, where compliance would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the overall law or regulatory enforcement process, the applicable exemption may be waived by the Environment and Natural Resources Division.
</p>
<p>(b) Only that information that relates to the investigation, prosecution or defense of actual or potential criminal or civil litigation, or which has been properly classified in the interest of national defense and foreign policy is exempted for the reasons set forth from the following subsections:
</p>
<p>(1) <i>Subsection (c)(3).</i> Subsection (c)(3) requires an agency to provide an accounting of disclosures of records concerning an individual. To provide the subject of a criminal or civil matter or case under investigation with an accounting of disclosures of records would inform that individual (and others to whom the subject might disclose the records) of the existence, nature, or scope of that investigation and thereby seriously impede law enforcement efforts by permitting the record subject and others to avoid criminal penalties and civil remedies.
</p>
<p>(2) <i>Subsections (c)(4) (requiring an agency to inform individuals about any corrections made to a record that has been disclosed) and (g) (providing for civil remedies when an agency fails to comply with these provisions).</i> These provisions are inapplicable to the extent that this system of records is exempted from subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(3) <i>Subsection (d).</i> Subsection (d) requires an agency to allow individuals to gain access to a record about him or herself; to dispute the accuracy, relevance, timeliness or completeness of such records; and to have an opportunity to amend his or her record or seek judicial review. To the extent that information contained in this system has been properly classified, relates to the investigation and/or prosecution of grand jury, civil fraud, and other law enforcement matters, disclosure could compromise matters which should be kept secret in the interest of national security or foreign policy; compromise confidential investigations or proceedings; impede affirmative enforcement actions based upon alleged violations of regulations or of civil or criminal laws; reveal the identity of confidential sources; and result in unwarranted invasions of the privacy of others. Amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing criminal law enforcement proceedings and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring criminal investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.
</p>
<p>(4) <i>Subsection (e)(1).</i> Subsection (e)(1) requires an agency to maintain in its records only such information about an individual that is relevant and necessary to accomplish the agency’s purpose. In the course of criminal or civil investigations, cases, or other matters, the Environment and Natural Resources Division may obtain information concerning the actual or potential violation of laws which are not strictly within its statutory authority. In the interest of effective law enforcement, it is necessary to retain such information since it may establish patterns of criminal activity or avoidance of other civil obligations and provide leads for Federal and other law enforcement agencies.
</p>
<p>(5) <i>Subsection (e)(2).</i> Subsection (e)(2) requires an agency to collect information to the greatest extent practicable from the subject individual when the information may result in adverse determinations about an individual’s rights, benefits and privileges under Federal programs. To collect information from the subject of a criminal investigation or prosecution would present a serious impediment to law enforcement in that the subject (and others with whom the subject might be in contact) would be informed of the existence of the investigation and would therefore be able to avoid detection or apprehension, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony.
</p>
<p>(6) <i>Subsection (e)(3).</i> Subsection (e)(3) requires an agency to inform each individual whom it asks to supply information, on a form that can be retained by the individual, the authority which authorizes the solicitation, the principal purpose for the information, the routine uses of the information, and the effects on the individual of not providing the requested information. To comply with this requirement during the course of a criminal investigation or prosecution could jeopardize the investigation by disclosing the existence of a confidential investigation, revealing the identity of witnesses or confidential informants, or impeding the information gathering process.
</p>
<p>(7) <i>Subsection (e)(5).</i> Subsection (e)(5) requires an agency to maintain records with such accuracy, relevance, timeliness, and completeness as is reasonably necessary to assure fairness to the individual. In compiling information for criminal law enforcement purposes, the accuracy, completeness, timeliness and relevancy of the information obtained cannot always be immediately determined. As new details of an investigation come to light, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance and the accuracy of such information can often only be determined in a court of law. Compliance with this requirement would therefore restrict the ability of government attorneys in exercising their judgment in developing information necessary for effective law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(8) <i>Subsection (e)(8).</i> Subsection (e)(8) requires agencies to make reasonable efforts to serve notice on an individual when any record on the individual is made available to any person under compulsory legal process. To serve notice would give persons sufficient warning to evade law enforcement efforts.
</p>
<p>(9) <i>Subsections (f) and (g).</i> Subsection (f) requires an agency to establish procedures to allow an individual to have access to information about him or herself and to contest information kept by an agency about him or herself. Subsection (g) provides for civil remedies against agencies who fail to comply with the Privacy Act requirements. These provisions are inapplicable to the extent that this system is exempt from the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(c) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a (c)(3) and (d):
</p>
<p>(1) Freedom of Information/Privacy Act Records System. (Justice/LDN-005).
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2).
</p>
<p>(d) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c) (3) because that portion of the Freedom of Information/Privacy Act Records System that consists of investigatory materials compiled for law enforcement purposes is being exempted from access and contest; the provision for disclosure of accounting is not applicable.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (d) because of the need to safeguard the identity of confidential informants and avoid interference with ongoing investigations or law enforcement activities by preventing premature disclosure of information relating to those efforts.
</p>
<p>[Order No. 688-77, 42 FR 10000, Feb. 18, 1977, as amended by Order No. 207-2000, 65 FR 75158, Dec. 1, 2000]

</p>
<p><b>&#167; 16.93
</b></p>
<p><b>Exemption of Tax Division Systems--limited access. 
</b></p>
<p>(a) The following systems of records are exempted pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2) from subsections (c)(3), (c)(4), (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3), (d)(4), (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), (e)(4)(I), (e)(5), (e)(8), (f) and (g) of 5 U.S.C. 552a:
</p>
<p>(1) Tax Division Central Classification Cards, Index Docket Cards, and Associated Records--Criminal Tax Cases (JUSTICE/TAX-001)--Limited Access.
</p>
<p>(2) These exemptions apply to the extent that information in these systems is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2).
</p>
<p>(b) The system of records listed under paragraph (a)(1) of this section is exempted for the reasons set forth below, from the following provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a:
</p>
<p>(1)(c)(3). The release of the disclosure accounting, for disclosures made pursuant to subsection (b) of the Act, including those permitted under the routine uses published for those systems of records, would enable the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal tax case to determine whether he or she is the subject of investigation, to obtain valuable information concerning the nature of that investigation and the information obtained, and to determine the identity of witnesses or informants. Such access to investigative information would, accordingly, present a serious impediment to law enforcement. In addition, disclosure of the accounting would constitute notice to the individual of the existence of a record even though such notice requirement under subsection (f)(1) is specifically exempted for these systems of records.
</p>
<p>(2)(c)(4). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records) this subsection is inapplicable to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(3) (d)(1); (d)(2); (d)(3); (d)(4). Access to the records contained in these systems would inform the subject of an actual or potential criminal tax investigation of the existence of that investigation, of the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to his or her activities, and of the identity of witnesses or informants. Such access would, accordingly, provide information that could enable the subject to avoid detection, apprehension and prosecution. This result, therefore, would constitute a serious impediment to effective law enforcement not only because it would prevent the successful completion of the investigation but also because it could endanger the physical safety of witnesses or informants, lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony.
</p>
<p>(4)(e)(1). The notices for these systems of records published in the <i>Federal Register,</i> set forth the basic statutory or related authority for maintenance of these systems. However, in the course of criminal tax and related law enforcement investigations, cases, and matters, the Tax Division will occasionally obtain information concerning actual or potential violations of law that may not be technically within its statutory or other authority or may compile information in the course of an investigation which may not be relevant to a specific prosecution. In the interests of effective law enforcement, it is necessary to retain some or all of such information in these systems of records since it can aid in establishing patterns of criminal activity and can provide valuable leads for Federal and other law enforcement agencies.
</p>
<p>(5)(e)(2). In a criminal tax investigation or prosecution, the requirement that information be collected to the greatest extent practicable from the subject individual would present a serious impediment to law enforcement because the subject of the investigation or prosecution would be placed on notice as to the existence of the investigation and would therefore be able to avoid detection or apprehension, influence witnesses improperly, destroy evidence, or fabricate testimony.
</p>
<p>(6)(e)(3). The requirement that individuals supplying information be provided with a form stating the requirements of subsection (e)(3) would constitute a serious impediment to law enforcement in that it could compromise the existence of a confidential investigation or reveal the identity of witnesses or confidential informants.
</p>
<p>(7)(e)(4) (G) and (H). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (f) (Agency Rules) and (d) (Access to Records) of the Act these subsections are inapplicable to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsection (f) and (d). 
</p>
<p>(8)(e)(4)(I). The categories of sources of the records in the systems have been published in the <i>Federal Register</i> in broad generic terms in the belief that this is all that subsection (e)(4)(I) of the Act requires. In the event, however, that this subsection should be interpreted to require more detail as to the identity of sources of the records in these systems, exemption from this provision is necessary in order to protect the confidentiality of the sources of criminal tax and related law enforcement information. Such exemption is further necessary to protect the privacy and physical safety of witnesses and informants.
</p>
<p>(9)(e)(5). In the collection of information for criminal tax enforcement purposes it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance as further investigation brings new details to light. Furthermore, the accuracy of such information can often only be determined in a court of law. The restrictions of subsection (e)(5) would restrict the ability of government attorneys in exercising their judgment in reporting on information and investigations and impede the development of criminal tax information and related data necessary for effective law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(10)(e)(8). The individual notice requirements of subsection (e)(8) could present a serious impediment to law enforcement as this could interfere with the ability to issue warrants or subpoenas and could reveal investigative techniques, procedures, or evidence. 
</p>
<p>(11)(f). Procedures for notice to an individual pursuant to subsection (f)(1) as to the existence of records pertaining to him dealing with an actual or potential criminal tax, civil tax, or regulatory investigation or prosecution must be exempted because such notice to an individual would be detrimental to the successful conduct and/or completion or an investigation or prosecution pending or future. In addition, mere notice of the fact of an investigation could inform the subject or others that their activities are under or may become the subject of an investigation and could enable the subjects to avoid detection or apprehension, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony.
</p>
<p>Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records) the rules required pursuant to subsection (f) (2) through (5) are inapplicable to these systems of records to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(12)(g). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (d) (Access to Records) and (f) (Agency Rules) this section is inapplicable, and is exempted for the reasons set forth for those subsections, to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsections (d) and (f).
</p>
<p>(c) The following system of records is exempted pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2) from subsections (c)(3), (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3), (d)(4), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G, (e)(4)(H, (e)(4)(I) and (f) of 5 U.S.C. 552a:
</p>
<p>(1) Tax Division Central Classification Cards, Index Docket Cards, and Associated Records--Civil Tax Cases (JUSTICE/TAX-002)--Limited Access.
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2).
</p>
<p>(d) The system of records listed under paragraph (c)(1) is exempted for the reasons set forth below, from the following provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a:
</p>
<p>(1)(c)(3). The release of the disclosure accounting, for disclosures made pursuant to subsection (b) of the Act, including those permitted under the routine uses published for this system of records, would enable the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential civil tax case to determine whether he or she is the subject of investigation, to obtain valuable information concerning the nature of that investigation and the information obtained, and to determine the identity of witnesses or informants. Such access to investigative information would, accordingly, present a serious impediment to law enforcement. In addition, disclosure of the accounting would constitute notice to the individual of the existence of a record even though such notice requirement under subsection (f)(1) is specifically exempted for this system of records.
</p>
<p>(2) (d)(1); (d)(2); (d)(3); (d)(4). Access to the records contained in this system would inform the subject of an actual or potential civil tax investigation of the existence of that investigation, of the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to his or her activities and of the identity of witnesses or informants. Such access would, accordingly, provide information that could enable the subject to avoid detection. This result, therefore, would constitute a serious impediment to effective law enforcement not only because it would prevent the successful completion of the investigation but also because it could endanger the physical safety of witnesses or informants, lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony.
</p>
<p>(3)(e)(1). The notices for this system of records published in the <i>Federal Register</i> set forth the basic statutory or related authority for maintenance of this system. However, in the course of civil tax and related law enforcement investigations, cases and matters, the Tax Division will occasionally obtain information concerning actual or potential violations of law that are not strictly or technically within its statutory or other authority or may compile information in the course of an investigation which may not be relevant to a specific case. In the interests of effective law enforcement, it is necessary to retain some or all of such information in this system of records since it can aid in establishing patterns of tax compliance and can provide valuable leads for Federal and other law enforcement agencies.
</p>
<p>(4)(e)(4) (G) and (H). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (f) (Agency Rules) and (d) (Access to Records) of the Act these subsections are inapplicable to the extent that this system of records is exempted from subsection (f) and (d).
</p>
<p>(5)(e)(4)(I). The categories of sources of the records in this system have been published in the <i>Federal Register</i> in broad generic terms in the belief that this is all that subsection (e)(4)(I) of the Act requires. In the event, however, that this subsection should be interpreted to require more detail as to the identity of sources of the records in this system, exemption from this provision is necessary in order to protect the confidentiality of the sources of civil tax and related law enforcement information. Such exemption is further necessary to protect the privacy and physical safety of witnesses and informants.
</p>
<p>(6)(f). Procedures for notice to an individual pursuant to subsection (f)(1) as to existence of records pertaining to the individual dealing with an actual or potential criminal tax, civil tax, or regulatory investigation or prosecution must be exempted because such notice to an individual would be detrimental to the successful conduct and/or completion of an investigation or case, pending or future. In addition, mere notice of the fact of an investigation could inform the subject or others that their activities are under or may become the subject of an investigation and could enable the subjects to avoid detection, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony.
</p>
<p>Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records) the rules required pursuant to subsection (f) (2) through (5) are inapplicable to this system of records to the extent that this system of records is exempted from subsection (d). 
</p>
<p>(e) The following system of records is exempt from subsections (c)(3) and (d)(1) of the Privacy Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5): Files of Applicants for Attorney and Non-Attorney Positions with the Tax Division, Justice/TAX-003. These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in a record is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5).
</p>
<p>(f) Exemption from the particular subsections is justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because an accounting could reveal the identity of confidential sources and result in an unwarranted invasion of the privacy of others. Many persons are contacted who, without an assurance of anonymity, refuse to provide information concerning an applicant for a position with the Tax Division. Disclosure of an accounting could reveal the identity of a source of information and constitutes a breach of the promise of confidentiality by the Tax Division. This would result in the reduction in the free flow of information vital to a determination of an applicant’s qualifications and suitability for federal employment.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (d)(1) because disclosure of records in the system could reveal the identity of confidential sources and result in an unwarranted invasion of the privacy of others. Many persons are contacted who, without an assurance of anonymity, refuse to provide information concerning an applicant for a Tax Division position. Access could reveal the identity of the source of the information and constitute a breach of the promise of confidentiality on the part of the Tax Division. Such breaches ultimately would restrict the free flow of information vital to a determination of an applicant’s qualifications and suitability.

<p>[Order No. 742-77, 42 FR 40906, Aug. 12, 1977, as amended by Order No. 6-86, 51 FR 15478, Apr. 24, 1986; Order No. 003-2006, 71 FR 11309, Mar. 7, 2006] 

</p>
<p><b>&#167; 16.96 
</b></p>
<p><b>Exemption of Federal Bureau of Investigation Systems--limited access. 
</b></p>
<p>(a) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4)(G) and (H), (e)(5), (e)(8), (f) and (g): 
</p>
<p>(1) Central Records System (CRS) (JUSTICE/FBI-002).
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(j) and (k). Where compliance would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the overall law enforcement process, the applicable exemption may be waived by the FBI. 
</p>
<p>(b) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because making available to a record subject the accounting of disclosures from records concerning him/her would reveal investigative interest by not only the FBI, but also by the recipient agency. This would permit the record subject to take appropriate measures to impede the investigation, e.g., destroy evidence, intimidate potential witnesses or flee the area to avoid the thrust of the investigation.
</p>
<p>(2)(i) From subsections (d), (e)(4) (G) and (H), (f) and (g) because these provisions concern individual access to investigative records, compliance with which could compromise sensitive information classified in the interest of national security, interfere with the overall law enforcement process by revealing a pending sensitive investigation, possibly identify a confidential source or disclose information which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of another individual’s personal privacy, reveal a sensitive investigative technique, or constitute a potential danger to the health or safety to law enforcement personnel.
</p>
<p>(ii) Also, individual access to non-criminal investigative records, e.g., civil investigations and administrative inquiries, as described in subsection (k) of the Privacy Act, could also compromise classified information related to national security, interfere with a pending investigation or internal inquiry, constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy, reveal a confidential source or sensitive investigative technique, or pose a potential threat to law enforcement personnel. In addition, disclosure of information collected pursuant to an employment suitability or similar inquiry could reveal the identity of a source who provided information under an express promise of confidentiality, or could compromise the objectivity or fairness of a testing or examination process.
</p>
<p>(iii) In addition, from paragraph (d)(2) of this section, because to require the FBI to amend information thought to be incorrect, irrelevant or untimely, because of the nature of the information collected and the essential length of time it is maintained, would create an impossible administrative and investigative burden by forcing the agency to continuously retrograde its investigations attempting to resolve questions of accuracy, etc.
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (e)(1) because: 
</p>
<p>(i) It is not possible in all instances to determine relevancy or necessity of specific information in the early stages of a criminal or other investigation. 
</p>
<p>(ii) Relevance and necessity are questions of judgment and timing; what appears relevant and necessary when collected ultimately may be deemed unnecessary. It is only after the information is assessed that its relevancy and necessity in a specific investigative activity can be established. 
</p>
<p>(iii) In any investigation the FBI might obtain information concerning violations of law not under its jurisdiction, but in the interest of effective law enforcement, dissemination will be made to the agency charged with enforcing such law. 
</p>
<p>(iv) In interviewing individuals or obtaining other forms of evidence during an investigation, information could be obtained, the nature of which would leave in doubt its relevancy and necessity. Such information, however, could be relevant to another investigation or to an investigative activity under the jurisdiction of another agency. 
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(2) because the nature of criminal and other investigative activities is such that vital information about an individual can only be obtained from other persons who are familiar with such individual and his/her activities. In such investigations it is not feasible to rely upon information furnished by the individual concerning his own activities.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(3) because disclosure would provide the subject with substantial information which could impede or compromise the investigation. The individual could seriously interfere with undercover investigative activities and could take appropriate steps to evade the investigation or flee a specific area.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(5) because in the collection of information for law enforcement purposes it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance as further investigation brings new details to light. The restrictions imposed by subsection (e)(5) would limit the ability of trained investigators and intelligence analysts to exercise their judgment in reporting on investigations and impede the development of criminal intelligence necessary for effective law enforcement. In addition, because many of these records come from other federal, state, local, joint, foreign, tribal, and international agencies, it is administratively impossible to ensure compliance with this provision. 
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(8) because the notice requirements of this provision could seriously interfere with a law enforcement activity by alerting the subject of a criminal or other investigation of existing investigative interest.
</p>
<p>(c) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c) (3) and (4), (d), (e) (1), (2) and (3), (e)(4) (G) and (H), (e) (5) and (8), (f), (g) and (m):
</p>
<p>(1) Electronic Surveillance (Elsur) Indices (JUSTICE/FBI-006).
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in the system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j).
</p>
<p>(d) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because the release of accounting disclosures would place the subject of an investigation on notice that he is under investigation and provide him with significant information concerning the nature of the investigation, resulting in a serious impediment to law enforcement. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsections (c)(4), (d), (e)(4) (G) and (H), and (g) because these provisions concern an individual’s access to records which concern him and such access to records in this system would compromise ongoing investigations, reveal investigatory techniques and confidential informants, and invade the privacy of private citizens who provide information in connection with a particular investigation.
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (e)(1) because these indices must be maintained in order to provide the information as described in the “routine uses” of this particular system.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsections (e) (2) and (3) because compliance is not feasible given the subject matter of the indices.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(5) because this provision is not applicable to the indices in view of the “routine uses” of the indices. For example, it is impossible to predict when it will be necessary to utilize information in the system and, accordingly it is not possible to determine when the records are timely.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(8) because the notice requirement could present a serious impediment to law enforcement by revealing investigative techniques, procedures and the existence of confidential investigations.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (m) for the reasons stated in subsection (b)(7) of this section.
</p>
<p>(e) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c) (3) and (4), (d), (e) (1), (2) and (3), (e)(4) (G) and (H), (e) (5) and (8), (f), and (g):
</p>
<p>(1) Identification Division Records System (JUSTICE/FBI-009).
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j).
</p>
<p>(f) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) for the reasons stated in subsection (d)(1) of this section.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsections (c)(4), (d), (e)(4) (G) and (H), (f) and (g) because these provisions concern an individual’s access to records which concern him. Such access is directed at allowing the subject of a record to correct inaccuracies in it. Although an alternate system of access has been provided in 28 CFR 16.30 to 34 and 28 CFR 20.34, the vast majority of records in this system concern local arrests which it would be inappropriate for the FBI to undertake to correct.
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (e)(1) because it is impossible to state with any degree of certainty that all information on these records is relevant to accomplish a purpose of the FBI, even though acquisition of the records from state and local law enforcement agencies is based on a statutory requirement. In view of the number of records in the system it is impossible to review them for relevancy. 
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(2) because the records in the system are necessarily furnished by criminal justice agencies due to their very nature. 
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(3) because compliance is not feasible due to the nature of the records.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(5) because the vast majority of these records come from local criminal justice agencies and it is administratively impossible to ensure that the records comply with this provision. Submitting agencies are, however, urged on a continuing basis to ensure that their records are accurate and include all dispositions.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(8) because the FBI has no logical manner to ascertain whether process has been made public and compliance with this provision would in any case, provide an impediment to law enforcement by interfering with the ability to issue warrants or subpoenas and by revealing investigative techniques, procedures or evidence.
</p>
<p>(g) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a (c)(3) and (4), (d), (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4)(G) and (H), (e)(5), (e)(8), (f), and (g): 
</p>
<p>(1) National Crime Information Center (NCIC) (JUSTICE/FBI-001). These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in the system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k)(3). 
</p>
<p>(h) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) for the reasons stated in subsection (d)(1) of this section.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsections (c)(4), (d), (e)(4) (G) and (H), and (g) for the reasons stated in subsection (d)(2) of this section. When records are properly subject to access by the individual, an alternate means of access is provided in subsection (i) of this section.
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (e)(1) because information contained in this system is primarily from state and local records, and it is for the official use of agencies outside the Federal Government in accordance with 28 U.S.C. 534. 
</p>
<p>(4) From subsections (e) (2) and (3) because it is not feasible to comply with these provisions given the nature of this system. 
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(5) because in the collection of information for law enforcement purposes it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance as further investigation brings new details to light. The restrictions imposed by subsection (e)(5) would limit the ability of trained investigators and intelligence analysts to exercise their judgment in reporting on investigations and impede the development of criminal intelligence necessary for effective law enforcement. In addition, the vast majority of these records come from other federal, state, local, joint, foreign, tribal, and international agencies and it is administratively impossible to ensure that the records comply with this provision. Submitting agencies are, however, urged on a continuing basis to ensure that their records are accurate and include all dispositions. 
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(8) for the reasons stated in subsection (d)(6) of this section. 
</p>
<p>(i) Access to computerized criminal history records in the National Crime Information Center is available to the individual who is the subject of the record pursuant to procedures and requirements specified in the Notice of Systems of Records compiled by the National Archives and Records Service and published under the designation:
</p>
<p>(j) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a (c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G) and (H), (e)(5), (f) and (g): 
</p>
<p>(1) National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime (NCAVC) (JUSTICE/FBI-015).
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2) and (k)(2).
</p>
<p>(k) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because providing the accounting of disclosures to the subject could prematurely reveal investigative interest by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, thereby providing the individual an opportunity to impede an active investigation, destroy or alter evidence, and possibly render harm to violent crime victims and/or witnesses.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsections (d), (e)(4) (G) and (H), and (f) because disclosure to the subject could interfere with enforcement proceedings of a criminal justice agency, reveal the identity of a confidential source, result in an unwarranted invasion of another’s privacy, reveal the details of a sensitive investigative technique, or endanger the life and safety of law enforcement personnel, potential violent crime victims, and witnesses. Disclosure also could prevent the future apprehension of a violent or exceptionally dangerous criminal fugitive should he or she modify his or her method of operation in order to evade law enforcement. Also, specifically from subsection (d)(2), which permits an individual to request amendment of a record, because the nature of the information in the system is such that an individual criminal offender would frequently demand amendment of derogatory information, forcing the FBI to continuously retrograde its criminal investigations in an attempt to resolve questions of accuracy, etc.
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (g) because the system is exempt from the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(1) because it is not always possible to establish relevance and necessity of the information at the time it is obtained or developed. Information, the relevance and necessity of which may not be readily apparent, frequently can prove to be of investigative value at a later date and time.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(5) because in the collection of information for law enforcement purposes it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance as further investigation brings new details to light. The restrictions imposed by subsection (e)(5) would limit the ability of trained investigators and intelligence analysts to exercise their judgment in reporting on investigations and impede the development of criminal intelligence necessary for effective law enforcement. In addition, because many of these records come from other federal, state, local, joint, foreign, tribal, and international agencies, it is administratively impossible to ensure compliance with this provision. 
</p>
<p>(l) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a (c)(3), (c)(4), (d), (e) (1), (2), and (3), (e)(4) (G) and (H), (e)(5), (e)(8), (f) and (g).
</p>
<p>(1) FBI Counterdrug Information Indices System (CIIS) (JUSTICE/FBI--016)
</p>
<p>(2) [Reserved]
</p>
<p>(m) These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2). Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because making available to a record subject the accounting of disclosures from records concerning him/her would reveal investigative interest by not only the FBI, but also by the recipient agency. This would permit the record subject to take appropriate measures to impede the investigation, e.g., destroy evidence, intimidate potential witnesses or flee the area to avoid the thrust of the investigation.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) to the extent it is not applicable because an exemption is being claimed from subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(3)(i) From subsections (d), (e)(4) (G) and (H) because these provisions concern individual access to records, compliance with which could compromise sensitive information, interfere with the overall law enforcement process by revealing a pending sensitive investigation, possibly identify a confidential source or disclose information which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of another individual’s personal privacy, reveal a sensitive investigative technique, or constitute a potential danger to the health or safety of law enforcement personnel.
</p>
<p>(ii) In addition, from paragraph (d), because to require the FBI to amend information thought to be incorrect, irrelevant or untimely, because of the nature of the information collected and the essential length of time it is maintained, would create an impossible administrative and investigative burden by forcing the agency to continuously retrograde its investigations attempting to resolve questions of accuracy, etc.
</p>
<p>(4)(i) From subsection (e)(1) because it is not possible in all instances to determine relevancy or necessity of specific information in the early stages of a criminal or other investigation.
</p>
<p>(ii) Relevance and necessity are questions of judgment and timing; what appears relevant and necessary when collected ultimately may be deemed otherwise. It is only after the information is assessed that its relevancy and necessity in a specified investigative activity can be established.
</p>
<p>(iii) In any investigation the FBI might obtain information concerning violations of law not under its jurisdiction, but in the interest of effective law enforcement, dissemination will be made to the agency charged with enforcing such law.
</p>
<p>(iv) In interviewing individuals or obtaining other forms of evidence during an investigation, information could be obtained, the nature of which would leave in doubt its relevancy and necessity. Such information, however, could be relevant to another investigations or to an investigative activity under the jurisdiction of another agency.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because the nature of criminal and other investigative activities is such that vital information about an individual often can only be obtained from other persons who are familiar with such individual and his/her activities. In such investigations it is not feasible to principally rely upon information furnished by the individual concerning his own activities.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) because disclosure would provide the subject with information which could impede or compromise the investigation. The individual could seriously interfere with undercover investigative activities and could take appropriate steps to evade the investigation or flee a specific area.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(5) because in the collection of information for law enforcement purposes it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance as further investigation brings new details to light. The restrictions imposed by subsection (e)(5) would restrict the ability of trained investigators and intelligence analysts to exercise their judgment in reporting on investigations and impede the development of criminal intelligence necessary for effective law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(8) because the notice requirements of this provision could seriously interfere with a law enforcement activity by alerting the subject of a criminal or other investigation of existing investigative interest.
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (f) to the extent that this system is exempt from the provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(10) From subsection (g) to the extent that this system of records is exempt from the provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(n) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a (c) (3) and (4); (d); (e) (1), (2), and 3; (e)(4) (G) and (H); (e) (5) and (8); and (g): 
</p>
<p>(1) National DNA Index System (NDIS) (JUSTICE/FBI-017). 
</p>
<p>(2) [Reserved]
</p>
<p>(o) These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in the system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2). Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because making available the accounting of disclosures of records to the subject of the record would prematurely place the subject on notice of the investigative interest of law enforcement agencies, provide the subject with significant information concerning the nature of the investigation, or permit the subject to take measures to impede the investigation (e.g., destroy or alter evidence, intimidate potential witnesses, or flee the area to avoid investigation and prosecution), and result in a serious impediment to law enforcement. 
</p>
<p>(2)(i) From subsections (c)(4), (d), (e)(4) (G) and (H), and (g) because these provisions concern an individual’s access to records which concern him/her and access to records in this system would compromise ongoing investigations. Such access is directed at allowing the subject of the record to correct inaccuracies in it. The vast majority of records in this system are from the DNA records of local and State NDIS agencies which would be inappropriate and not feasible for the FBI to undertake to correct. Nevertheless, an alternate method to access and/or amend records in this system is available to an individual who is the subject of a record pursuant to procedures and requirements specified in the Notice of Systems of Records compiled by the National Archives and Records Administration and published in the <i>Federal Register</i> under the designation: National DNA Index System (NDIS) (JUSTICE/FBI-017)
</p>
<p>(ii) In addition, from paragraph (d)(2) of this section, because to require the FBI to amend information thought to be incorrect, irrelevant, or untimely, because of the nature of the information collected and the essential length of time it is maintained, would create an impossible administrative and investigative burden by forcing the agency to continuously retrograde investigations attempting to resolve questions of accuracy, etc.
</p>
<p>(iii) In addition, from subsection (g) to the extent that the system is exempt from the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (e)(1) because:
</p>
<p>(i) Information in this system is primarily from State and local records and it is for the official use of agencies outside the Federal Government.
</p>
<p>(ii) It is not possible in all instances to determine the relevancy or necessity of specific information in the early stages of the criminal investigative process.
</p>
<p>(iii) Relevance and necessity are questions of judgment and timing; what appears relevant and necessary when collected ultimately may be deemed unnecessary, and vice versa. It is only after the information is assessed that its relevancy in a specific investigative activity can be established.
</p>
<p>(iv) Although the investigative process could leave in doubt the relevancy and necessity of evidence which had been properly obtained, the same information could be relevant to another investigation or investigative activity under the jurisdiction of the FBI or another law enforcement agency.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsections (e)(2) and (3) because it is not feasible to comply with these provisions given the nature of this system. Most of the records in this system are necessarily furnished by State and local criminal justice agencies and not by individuals due to the very nature of the records and the system.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(5) because the vast majority of these records come from State and local criminal justice agencies and because it is administratively impossible for them and the FBI to insure that the records comply with this provision. Submitting agencies are urged and make every effort to insure records are accurate and complete; however, since it is not possible to predict when information in the indexes of the system (whether submitted by State and local criminal justice agencies or generated by the FBI) will be matched with other information, it is not possible to determine when most of them are relevant or timely.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(8) because the FBI has no logical manner to determine whenever process has been made public and compliance with this provision would provide an impediment to law enforcement by interfering with ongoing investigations.
</p>
<p>(p) The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), (JUSTICE/FBI-018), a Privacy Act system of records, is exempt:
</p>
<p>(1) Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), from subsections (c) (3) and (4); (d); (e) (1), (2) and (3); (e)(4) (G) and (H); (e) (5) and (8); and (g); and
</p>
<p>(2) Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k) (2) and (3), from subsections (c)(3), (d), (e)(1), and (e)(4) (G) and (H).
</p>
<p>(q) These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in the system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), (k)(2), and (k)(3). Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because the release of the accounting of disclosures would place the subject on notice that the subject is or has been the subject of investigation and result in a serious impediment to law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) to the extent that it is not applicable since an exemption is claimed from subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(3)(i) From subsections (d) and (e)(4) (G) and (H) because these provisions concern an individual’s access to records which concern the individual and such access to records in the system would compromise ongoing investigations, reveal investigatory techniques and confidential informants, invade the privacy of persons who provide information in connection with a particular investigation, or constitute a potential danger to the health or safety of law enforcement personnel.
</p>
<p>(ii) In addition, from subsection (d)(2) because, to require the FBI to amend information thought to be not accurate, timely, relevant, and complete, because of the nature of the information collected and the essential length of time it is maintained, would create an impossible administrative burden by forcing the agency to continuously update its investigations attempting to resolve these issues.
</p>
<p>(iii) Although the Attorney General is exempting this system from subsections (d) and (e)(4) (G) and (H), an alternate method of access and correction has been provided in 28 CFR, part 25, subpart A.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(1) because it is impossible to state with any degree of certainty that all information in these records is relevant to accomplish a purpose of the FBI, even though acquisition of the records from state and local law enforcement agencies is based on a statutory requirement. In view of the number of records in the system, it is impossible to review them for relevancy.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsections (e) (2) and (3) because the purpose of the system is to verify information about an individual. It would not be realistic to rely on information provided by the individual. In addition, much of the information contained in or checked by this system is from Federal, State, and local criminal history records.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(5) because it is impossible to predict when it will be necessary to use the information in the system, and, accordingly, it is not possible to determine in advance when the records will be timely. Since most of the records are from State and local or other Federal agency records, it would be impossible to review all of them to verify that they are accurate. In addition, an alternate procedure is being established in 28 CFR, part 25, subpart A, so the records can be amended if found to be incorrect.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(8) because the notice requirement could present a serious impediment to law enforcement by revealing investigative techniques and confidential investigations.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (g) to the extent that, pursuant to subsections (j)(2), (k)(2), and (k)(3), the system is exempted from the other subsections listed in paragraph (p) of this section.
</p>
<p>(r) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) and (4); (d)(1), (2), (3), and (4); (e)(1), (2), (3), (5), and (8); and (g):
</p>
<p>(1) Terrorist Screening Records System (TSRS) (JUSTICE/FBI-019).
</p>
<p>(2) These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), (k)(1), and (k)(2). Where compliance would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the counterterrorism purposes of this system, and the overall law enforcement process, the applicable exemption may be waived by the FBI in its sole discretion.
</p>
<p>(s) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because making available to a record subject the accounting of disclosures from records concerning him/her would specifically reveal any investigative interest in the individual. Revealing this information could reasonably be expected to compromise ongoing efforts to investigate a known or suspected terrorist by notifying the record subject that he/she is under investigation. This information could also permit the record subject to take measures to impede the investigation, <i>e.g.</i>, destroy evidence, intimidate potential witnesses, or flee the area to avoid or impede the investigation. Similarly, disclosing this information to individuals who have been misidentified as known or suspected terrorists due to a close name similarity could reveal the Government’s investigative interest in a terrorist suspect, because it could make known the name of the individual who actually is the subject of the Government’s interest. Consequently, the Government has as great an interest in protecting the confidentiality of identifying information of misidentified persons as it does in protecting the confidentiality of the identities of known or suspected terrorists.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) because this system is exempt from the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(3) From subsections (d)(1), (2), (3), and (4) because these provisions concern individual access to and amendment of records contained in this system, which consists of counterterrorism, investigatory and intelligence records. Compliance with these provisions could alert the subject of a terrorism investigation of the fact and nature of the investigation, and/or the investigative interest of the FBI and/or other intelligence or law enforcement agencies; compromise sensitive information classified in the interest of national security; interfere with the overall law enforcement process by leading to the destruction of evidence, improper influencing of witnesses, fabrication of testimony, and/or flight of the subject; could identify a confidential source or disclose information which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of another’s personal privacy; reveal a sensitive investigative or intelligence technique; or constitute a potential danger to the health or safety of law enforcement personnel, confidential informants, and witnesses. Amendment of these records would interfere with ongoing counterterrorism investigations and analysis activities and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring investigations, analyses, and reports to be continuously reinvestigated and revised. Similarly, compliance with these provisions with respect to records on individuals who have been misidentified as known or suspected terrorists due to a close name similarity could reveal the Government’s investigative interest in a terrorist suspect, because it could make known the name of the individual who actually is the subject of the Government’s interest.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(1) because it is not always possible for TSC to know in advance what information is relevant and necessary for it to complete an identity comparison between the individual being screened and a known or suspected terrorist. Also, because TSC and the FBI may not always know what information about an encounter with a known or suspected terrorist will be relevant to law enforcement for the purpose of conducting an operational response.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because application of this provision could present a serious impediment to counterterrorism efforts in that it would put the subject of an investigation, study or analysis on notice of that fact, thereby permitting the subject to engage in conduct designed to frustrate or impede that activity. The nature of counterterrorism investigations is such that vital information about an individual frequently can be obtained only from other persons who are familiar with such individual and his/her activities. In such investigations it is not feasible to rely upon information furnished by the individual concerning his own activities.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3), to the extent that this subsection is interpreted to require TSC to provide notice to an individual if TSC receives information about that individual from a third party. Should the subsection be so interpreted, exemption from this provision is necessary to avoid impeding counterterrorism efforts by putting the subject of an investigation, study or analysis on notice of that fact, thereby permitting the subject to engage in conduct intended to frustrate or impede that activity.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(5) because many of the records in this system are derived from other domestic and foreign agency record systems and therefore it is not possible for the FBI and the TSC to vouch for their compliance with this provision; however, the TSC has implemented internal quality assurance procedures to ensure that TSC terrorist screening data is as thorough, accurate, and current as possible. In addition, TSC supports but does not conduct investigations; therefore, it must be able to collect information related to terrorist identities and encounters for distribution to law enforcement and intelligence agencies that do conduct terrorism investigations. In the collection of information for law enforcement, counterterrorism, and intelligence purposes, it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance as further investigation brings new details to light. The restrictions imposed by (e)(5) would limit the ability of those agencies’ trained investigators and intelligence analysts to exercise their judgment in conducting investigations and impede the development of intelligence necessary for effective law enforcement and counterterrorism efforts. The TSC has, however, implemented internal quality assurance procedures to ensure that TSC terrorist screening data is as thorough, accurate, and current as possible. The FBI also is exempting the TSRS from the requirements of subsection (e)(5) in order to prevent the use of a challenge under subsection (e)(5) as a collateral means to obtain access to records in the TSRS. The FBI has exempted TSRS records from the access and amendment requirements of subsection (d) of the Privacy Act in order to protect the integrity of counterterrorism investigations. Exempting the TSRS from subsection (e)(5) serves to prevent the assertion of challenges to a record’s accuracy, timeliness, completeness, and/or relevance under subsection (e)(5) to circumvent the exemption claimed from subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(8) because to require individual notice of disclosure of information due to compulsory legal process would pose an impossible administrative burden on the FBI and the TSC and could alert the subjects of counterterrorism, law enforcement, or intelligence investigations to the fact of those investigations when not previously known.
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (g) to the extent that the system is exempt from other specific subsections of the Privacy Act.
</p>
<p>(t) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) and (4); (d)(1), (2), (3) and (4); (e)(1), (2), (3), (5) and (8); and (g) of the Privacy Act:
</p>
<p>(1) Law Enforcement National Data Exchange (N-DEx), (JUSTICE/FBI-020).
</p>
<p>(2) These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2). Where compliance would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the law enforcement purposes of this system, or the overall law enforcement process, the applicable exemption may be waived by the FBI in its sole discretion.
</p>
<p>(u) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because this system is exempt from the access provisions of subsection (d). Also, because making available to a record subject the accounting of disclosures from records concerning him/her would specifically reveal any investigative interest in the individual. Revealing this information may thus compromise ongoing law enforcement efforts. Revealing this information may also permit the record subject to take measures to impede the investigation, such as destroying evidence, intimidating potential witnesses or fleeing the area to avoid the investigation.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) because this system is exempt from the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(3) From subsections (d)(1), (2), (3), and (4), because these provisions concern individual access to and amendment of investigatory records, compliance with which could alert the subject of an investigation of the fact and nature of the investigation, and/or the investigative interest of the FBI and other law enforcement agencies; interfere with the overall law enforcement process by leading to the destruction of evidence, improper influencing of witnesses, fabrication of testimony, and/or flight of the subject; possibly identify a confidential source or disclose information which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of another’s personal privacy; reveal a sensitive investigative or intelligence technique; or constitute a potential danger to the health or safety of law enforcement personnel, confidential informants, and witnesses. Amendment of these records would interfere with ongoing investigations and other law enforcement activities and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring investigations, analyses, and reports to be continuously reinvestigated and revised.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(1) because it is not always possible to know in advance what information is relevant and necessary for law enforcement purposes and, in fact, a major tenet of the N-DEx information sharing system is that the relevance of certain information may not always be evident in the absence of the ability to correlate that information with other existing law enforcement data.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because application of this provision could present a serious impediment to efforts to solve crimes and improve homeland security in that it would put the subject of an investigation on notice of that fact, thereby permitting the subject to engage in conduct intended to frustrate or impede that activity.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) because disclosure would put the subject of an investigation on notice of that fact and would permit the subject to engage in conduct intended to thwart that activity.
</p>
<p>(7)(i) From subsection (e)(5) because many of the records in this system are records contributed by other agencies and the restrictions imposed by (e)(5) would limit the utility of the N-DEx system. All data contributors are expected to ensure that information they share is relevant, timely, complete and accurate. In fact, rules for use of the N-DEx system will require that information be updated periodically and not be used as a basis for action or disseminated beyond the recipient without the recipient first obtaining permission from the record owner/contributor. These rules will be enforced through robust audit procedures. The existence of these rules should ameliorate any perceived concerns about the integrity of the information in the N-DEx system. Nevertheless, exemption from this provision is warranted in order to reduce the administrative burden on the FBI to vouch for compliance with the provision by all N-DEx data contributors and to encourage those contributors to share information the significance of which may only become apparent when combined with other information in the N-DEx system.
</p>
<p>(ii) The FBI is also exempting the N-DEx from subsection (e)(5) in order to block the use of a challenge under subsection (e)(5) as a collateral means to obtain access to records in the N-DEx. The FBI has exempted these records from the access and amendment requirements of subsection (d) of the Privacy Act in order to protect the integrity of law enforcement investigations. Exempting the N-DEx system from subsection (e)(5) complements this exemption and will provide the FBI with the ability to prevent the assertion of challenges to a record’s accuracy, timeliness, completeness and/or relevance under subsection (e)(5) to circumvent the exemption claimed from subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(8), because to require individual notice of disclosure of information due to compulsory legal process would pose an impossible administrative burden on the FBI and may alert the subjects of law enforcement investigations to the fact of those investigations, when not previously known.
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (g) to the extent that the system is exempt from other specific subsections of the Privacy Act.
</p>
<p>(v) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) and (4); (d)(1), (2), (3), and (4); (e)(1), (2), (3), (4)(G), (H), and (I), (5), and (8); (f); and (g) of the Privacy Act:
</p>
<p>(1) FBI Data Warehouse System, (JUSTICE/FBI-022).
</p>
<p>(2) These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j) and (k). Where compliance with an exempted provision could not appear to interfere with or adversely affect interests of the United States or other system stakeholders, the Department of Justice (DOJ) in its sole discretion may waive an exemption in whole or in part; exercise of this discretionary waiver prerogative in a particular matter shall not create any entitlement to or expectation of waiver in that matter or any other matter. As a condition of discretionary waiver, the DOJ in its sole discretion may impose any restrictions deemed advisable by the DOJ (including, but not limited to, restrictions on the location, manner, or scope of notice, access, or amendment).
</p>
<p>(w) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3), the requirement that an accounting be made available to the named subject of a record, because this system is exempt from the access provisions of subsection (d). Also, because making available to a record subject the accounting of disclosures from records concerning him/her would specifically reveal any law enforcement or national security investigative interest in the individual by the FBI or agencies that are recipients of the disclosures. Revealing this information could compromise ongoing, authorized law enforcement and intelligence efforts, particularly efforts to identify and defuse any potential acts of terrorism or other potential violations of criminal law. Revealing this information could also permit the record subject to obtain valuable insight concerning the information obtained during any investigation and to take measures to circumvent the investigation.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) notification requirements because this system is exempt from the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d) as well as the accounting of disclosures provision of subsection (c)(3).
</p>
<p>(3) From subsections (d)(1), (2), (3), and (4) and (e)(4)(G) and (H) because these provisions concern individual access to and amendment of law enforcement, intelligence and counterintelligence, and counterterrorism records, and compliance could alert the subject of an authorized law enforcement or intelligence activity about that particular activity and the investigative interest of the FBI or other law enforcement or intelligence agencies. Providing access could compromise sensitive information classified to protect national security; disclose information that would constitute an unwarranted invasion of another’s personal privacy; reveal a sensitive investigative or intelligence technique; could provide information that would allow a subject to avoid detection or apprehension; or constitute a potential danger to the health or safety of law enforcement personnel, confidential sources, and witnesses. The FBI takes seriously its obligation to maintain accurate records despite its assertion of this exemption, and to the extent it, in its sole discretion, agrees to permit amendment or correction of FBI records, it will share that information in appropriate cases with subjects of the information.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(1) because it is not always possible to know in advance what information is relevant and necessary for law enforcement and intelligence purposes. The relevance and utility of certain information that may have a nexus to terrorism or other crimes may not always be evident until and unless it is vetted and matched with other sources of information that are necessarily and lawfully maintained by the FBI.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsections (e)(2) and (3) because application of these provisions could present a serious impediment to efforts to solve crimes and improve national security. Application of these provisions would put the subject of an investigation on notice of that fact and allow the subject an opportunity to engage in conduct intended to impede that activity or avoid apprehension.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(4)(I), to the extent that this subsection is interpreted to require more detail regarding the record sources in this system than has been published in the <i>Federal Register.</i> Should the subsection be so interpreted, exemption from this provision is necessary to protect the sources of law enforcement and intelligence information and to protect the privacy and safety of witnesses and informants and others who provide information to the FBI. Further, greater specificity of properly classified records could compromise national security.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(5) because in the collection of information for authorized law enforcement and intelligence purposes, it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely and complete. With time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance when new details are brought to light. Additionally, the information may aid in establishing patterns of activity and providing criminal or intelligence leads. It could impede investigative progress if it were necessary to assure relevance, accuracy, timeliness and completeness of all information obtained during the scope of an investigation. Further, some of the records in this system come from other agencies and it would be administratively impossible for the FBI to vouch for the compliance of these agencies with this provision.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(8) because to require individual notice of disclosure of information due to compulsory legal process would pose an impossible administrative burden on the FBI and may alert the subjects of law enforcement investigations, who might be otherwise unaware, to the fact of those investigations.
</p>
<p>(9) From subsections (f) and (g) to the extent that the system is exempt from other specific subsections of the Privacy Act.

<p><b>&#167; 16.97
</b></p>
<p><b>Exemption of Bureau of Prisons Systems--limited access.
</b></p>
<p>(a) The following systems of records are exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a (c) (3) and (4), (d), (e) (2) and (3), (e)(4) (H), (e)(8), (f) and (g): 
</p>
<p>(1) Custodial and Security Record System (JUSTICE/BOP-001). 
</p>
<p>(2) Industrial Inmate Employment Record System (JUSTICE/BOP-003). 
</p>
<p>(3) Inmate Administrative Remedy Record System (JUSTICE/BOP-004). 
</p>
<p>(4) Inmate Commissary Accounts Record System (JUSTICE/BOP-006).
</p>
<p>(5) Inmate Physical and Mental Health Record System (JUSTICE/BOP-007).
</p>
<p>(6) Inmate Safety and Accident Compensation Record System (JUSTICE/BOP-008).
</p>
<p>(7) Federal Tort Claims Act Record System (JUSTICE/BOP-009).
</p>
<p>(8) Federal Tort Claims Act Record System (JUSTICE/BOP-009).
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in these systems is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j). 
</p>
<p>(b) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because inmates will not be permitted to gain access or to contest contents of these record systems under the provisions of subsection (d) of 5 U.S.C. 552a. Revealing disclosure accountings can compromise legitimate law enforcement activities and Bureau of Prisons responsibilities. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) because exemption from provisions of subsection (d) will make notification of formal disputes inapplicable. 
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d) because exemption from this subsection is essential to protect internal processes by which Bureau personnel are able to formulate decisions and policies with regard to federal prisoners, to prevent disclosure of information to federal inmates that would jeopardize legitimate correctional interests of security, custody, or rehabilitation, and to permit receipt of relevant information from other federal agencies, state and local law enforcement agencies, and federal and state probation and judicial offices. 
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(2) because primary collection of information directly from federal inmates about criminal sentences or criminal records is highly impractical and inappropriate. 
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(3) because in view of the Bureau of Prisons’ responsibilities, application of this provision to its operations and collection of information is inappropriate. 
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(4)(H) because exemption from provisions of subsection (d) will make publication of agency procedures under this subsection inapplicable. 
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(8) because the nature of Bureau of Prisons law enforcement activities renders notice of compliance with compulsory legal process impractical. 
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (f) because exemption from provisions of subsection (d) will render compliance with provisions of this subsection inapplicable. 
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (g) because exemption from provisions of subsection (d) will render provisions of this subsection inapplicable. 
</p>
<p>(c) The following system of records is exempted pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) from subsections (c)(3) and (4), (d), (e)(1), (2) and (3), (e)(5) and (e)(8), and (g). In addition, the following system of records is exempted pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2) from subsections (c)(3), (d), and (e)(1):
</p>
<p>Bureau of Prisons Access Control Entry/Exit, (JUSTICE/BOP-010).
</p>
<p>(d) These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in these systems is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) or (k)(2). Where compliance would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the law enforcement process, and/or where it may be appropriate to permit individuals to contest the accuracy of the information collected, e.g. public source materials, or those supplied by third parties, the applicable exemption may be waived, either partially or totally, by the BOP. Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) for similar reasons as those enumerated in paragraph (3).
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) to the extent that exemption from subsection (d) will make notification of corrections or notations of disputes inapplicable.
</p>
<p>(3) From the access provisions of subsection (d) to the extent that exemption from this subsection may appear to be necessary to prevent access by record subjects to information that may jeopardize the legitimate correctional interests of safety, security, and good order of Bureau of Prisons facilities; to protect the privacy of third parties; and to protect access to relevant information received from third parties, such as other Federal State, local and foreign law enforcement agencies, Federal and State probation and judicial offices, the disclosure of which may permit a record subject to evade apprehension, prosecution, etc.; and/or to otherwise protect investigatory or law enforcement information, whether received from other third parties, or whether developed internally by the BOP.
</p>
<p>(4) From the amendment provisions of subsection (d) because amendment of the records would interfere with law enforcement operations and impose an impossible administrative burden. In addition to efforts to ensure accuracy so as to withstand possible judicial scrutiny, it would require that law enforcement and investigatory information be continuously reexamined, even where the information may have been collected from the record subject. Also, where records are provided by other Federal criminal justice agencies or other State, local and foreign jurisdictions, it may be administratively impossible to ensure compliance with this provision.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(1) to the extent that the BOP may collect information that may be relevant to the law enforcement operations of other agencies. In the interests of overall, effective law enforcement, such information should be retained and made available to those agencies with relevant responsibilities.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(2) because primary collection of information directly from the record subject is often highly impractical, inappropriate and could result in inaccurate information.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(3) because compliance with this subsection may impede the collection of information that may be valuable to law enforcement interests.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(5) because in the collection and maintenance of information for law enforcement purposes, it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely and complete. Data which may seem unrelated, irrelevant or incomplete when collected may take on added meaning or significance as an investigation progresses or with the passage of time, and could be relevant to future law enforcement decisions.
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (e)(8) because the nature of BOP law enforcement activities renders notice of compliance with compulsory legal process impractical and could seriously jeopardize institution security and personal safety and/or impede overall law enforcement efforts.
</p>
<p>(10) From subsection (g) to the extent that the system is exempted from subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(e) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a (c) (3) and (4), (d), (e) (2) and (3), (e)(5) and (e)(8), (f) and (g):
</p>
<p>Telephone Activity Record System (JUSTICE/BOP-011).
</p>
<p>(f) These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2) and/or (k)(2). Where compliance would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the law enforcement process, and/or where it may be appropriate to permit individuals to contest the accuracy of the information collected, the applicable exemption may be waived, either partially or totally, by the BOP. Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) to the extent that this system of records is exempt from subsection (d), and for such reasons as those cited for subsection (d) in paragraph (f)(3) below.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) to the extent that exemption from subsection (d) makes this exemption inapplicable.
</p>
<p>(3) From the access provisions of subsection (d) because exemption from this subsection is essential to prevent access of information by record subjects that may invade third party privacy; frustrate the investigative process; jeopardize the legitimate correctional interests of safety, security, and good order to prison facilities; or otherwise compromise, impede, or interfere with BOP or other law enforcement agency activities.
</p>
<p>(4) From the amendment provisions from subsection (d) because amendment of the records may interfere with law enforcement operations and would impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring that, in addition to efforts to ensure accuracy so as to withstand possible judicial scrutiny, it would require that law enforcement information be continuously reexamined, even where the information may have been collected from the record subject. Also, some of these records come from other Federal criminal justice agencies or State, local and foreign jurisdictions, or from Federal and State probation and judicial offices, and it is administratively impossible to ensure that the records comply with this provision.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because the nature of criminal and other investigative activities is such that vital information about an individual can be obtained from other persons who are familiar with such individual and his/her activities. In such investigations it is not feasible to rely solely upon information furnished by the individual concerning his/her own activities since it may result in inaccurate information.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) because in view of BOP’s operational responsibilities, application of this provision to the collection of information is inappropriate. Application of this provision could provide the subject with substantial information which may in fact impede the information gathering process or compromise an investigation.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(5) because in the collection and maintenance of information for law enforcement purposes, it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely and complete. Material which may seem unrelated, irrelevant or incomplete when collected may take on added meaning or significance at a later date or as an investigation progresses. Also, some of these records may come from other Federal, State, local and foreign law enforcement agencies, and from Federal and State probation and judicial offices and it is administratively impossible to ensure that the records comply with this provision. It would also require that law enforcement information be continuously reexamined even where the information may have been collected from the record subject.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(8) because the nature of BOP law enforcement activities renders impractical the notice of compliance with compulsory legal process. This requirement could present a serious impediment to law enforcement such as revealing investigative techniques or the existence of confidential investigations, jeopardize the security of third parties, or otherwise compromise law enforcement efforts.
</p>
<p>(9)-(10) [Reserved]
</p>
<p>(11) From subsections (f) and (g) to the extent that this system is exempt from the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(g) The following system of records is exempt pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) from subsections (c) (3) and (4), (d), (e) (1), (2), and (3), (e)(5) and (e)(8), and (g) of 5 U.S.C. 552a. In addition, the following system of records is exempt pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a (k)(1) and (k)(2) from subsections (c)(3), (d), and (e)(1) of 5 U.S.C. 552a:
</p>
<p>Bureau of Prisons, Office of Internal Affairs Investigative Records, JUSTICE/BOP-012
</p>
<p>(h) These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2), (k)(1), and (k)(2). Where compliance would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the law enforcement process, and/or where it may be appropriate to permit individuals to contest the accuracy of the information collected, e.g., public source materials, the applicable exemption may be waived, either partially or totally, by the Office of Internal Affairs (OIA). Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because release of disclosure accounting could alert the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory violation to the existence of the investigation and the fact that they are subjects of the investigation, and reveal investigative interest by not only the OIA but also by the recipient agency. Since release of such information to the subjects of an investigation would provide them with significant information concerning the nature of the investigation, release could result in activities that would impede or compromise law enforcement such as: the destruction of documentary evidence; improper influencing of witnesses; endangerment of the physical safety of confidential sources, witnesses, and law enforcement personnel; fabrication of testimony; and flight of the subject from the area. In addition, release of disclosure accounting could result in the release of properly classified information which could compromise the national defense or disrupt foreign policy.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) because this system is exempt from the access provisions of subsection (d) pursuant to subsections (j) and (k) of the Privacy Act.
</p>
<p>(3) From the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d) because access to the records contained in this system of records could provide the subject of an investigation with information concerning law enforcement activities such as that relating to an actual or potential criminal, civil or regulatory violation; the existence of an investigation; the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to his activities; the identity of confidential sources, witnesses, and law enforcement personnel; and information that may enable the subject to avoid detection or apprehension. Such disclosure would present a serious impediment to effective law enforcement where they prevent the successful completion of the investigation; endanger the physical safety of confidential sources, witnesses, and law enforcement personnel; and/or lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony. In addition, granting access to such information could disclose security-sensitive or confidential business information or information that would constitute an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of third parties. Finally, access to the records could result in the release of properly classified information which could compromise the national defense or disrupt foreign policy. Amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing investigations and law enforcement activities and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(1) because the application of this provision could impair investigations and interfere with the law enforcement responsibilities of the OIA for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(i) It is not possible to detect relevance or necessity of specific information in the early stages of a civil, criminal or other law enforcement investigation, case, or matter, including investigations in which use is made of properly classified information. Relevance and necessity are questions of judgment and timing, and it is only after the information is evaluated that the relevance and necessity of such information can be established.
</p>
<p>(ii) During the course of any investigation, the OIA may obtain information concerning actual or potential violations of laws other than those within the scope of its jurisdiction. In the interest of effective law enforcement, the OIA should retain this information as it may aid in establishing patterns of criminal activity, and can provide valuable leads for Federal and other law enforcement agencies.
</p>
<p>(iii) In interviewing individuals or obtaining other forms of evidence during an investigation, information may be supplied to an investigator which relates to matters incidental to the primary purpose of the investigation but which may relate also to matters under the investigative jurisdiction of another agency. Such information cannot readily be segregated.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because, in some instances, the application of this provision would present a serious impediment to law enforcement for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(i) The subject of an investigation would be placed on notice as to the existence of an investigation and would therefore be able to avoid detection or apprehension, to improperly influence witnesses, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony.
</p>
<p>(ii) In certain circumstances the subject of an investigation cannot be required to provide information to investigators, and information relating to a subject’s illegal acts, violations of rules of conduct, or any other misconduct must be obtained from other sources.
</p>
<p>(iii) In any investigation it is necessary to obtain evidence from a variety of sources other than the subject of the investigation in order to verify the evidence necessary for successful litigation.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) because the application of this provision would provide the subject of an investigation with substantial information which could impede or compromise the investigation. Providing such notice to a subject of an investigation could interfere with an undercover investigation by revealing its existence, and could endanger the physical safety of confidential sources, witnesses, and investigators by revealing their identities.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(5) because the application of this provision would prevent the collection of any data not shown to be accurate, relevant, timely, and complete at the moment it is collected. In the collection of information for law enforcement purposes, it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete. Material which may seem unrelated, irrelevant, or incomplete when collected may take on added meaning or significance as an investigation progresses. The restrictions of this provision could interfere with the preparation of a complete investigation report, and thereby impede effective law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(8) because the application of this provision could prematurely reveal an ongoing criminal investigation to the subject of the investigation, and could reveal investigation techniques, procedures, and/or evidence.
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (g) to the extent that this system is exempt from the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d) pursuant to subsections (j)(2), (k)(1), and (k)(2) of the Privacy Act.
</p>
<p>(i) Consistent with the legislative purpose of the Privacy Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93-579) the BOP has initiated a procedure whereby federal inmates in custody may gain access and review their individual prison files maintained at the institution of incarceration. Access to these files will be limited only to the extent that the disclosure of records to the inmate would jeopardize internal decision-making or policy determinations essential to the effective operation of the Bureau of Prisons; to the extent that disclosure of the records to the inmate would jeopardize privacy rights of others, or a legitimate correctional interest of security, custody, or rehabilitation; and to the extent information is furnished with a legitimate expectation of confidentiality. The Bureau of Prisons will continue to provide access to former inmates under existing regulations as is consistent with the interests listed above. Under present Bureau of Prisons regulations, inmates in federal institutions may file administrative complaints on any subject under the control of the Bureau. This would include complaints pertaining to information contained in these systems of records.
</p>
<p>(j) The following system of records is exempt pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j) and (k) from subsections (c)(3) and (4); (d); (e)(1), (2), (3), (4)(G), (H), and (I), (5), (8); (f); and (g): Inmate Central Records System (JUSTICE/BOP-005).
</p>
<p>(k) These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2) and/or (k)(2). Where compliance would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the law enforcement process, and/or where it may be appropriate to permit individuals to contest the accuracy of the information collected, the applicable exemption may be waived, either partially or totally, by the BOP. Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3), the requirement that an accounting be made available to the named subject of a record, because this system is exempt from the access provisions of subsection (d). Also, because making available to a record subject the accounting of disclosures from records concerning the subject individual would specifically reveal any investigative interest in the individual. Revealing this information may thus compromise ongoing law enforcement efforts, as well as efforts to identify and defuse any potential acts of terrorism. Revealing this information may also permit the subject individual to take measures to impede the investigation, such as destroying evidence, intimidating potential witnesses, or fleeing the area to avoid the investigation.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) notification requirements because this system is exempt from the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(3) From subsections (d)(1), (2), (3), and (4), because these provisions concern individual access to and amendment of records, compliance with which could jeopardize the legitimate correctional interests of safety, security, and good order of prison facilities; alert the subject of a suspicious activity report of the fact and nature of the report and any underlying investigation and/or the investigative interest of the BOP and other law enforcement agencies; interfere with the overall law enforcement process by leading to the destruction of evidence, improper influencing of witnesses, and/or flight of the subject; possibly identify a confidential source or disclose information which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of another’s personal privacy; reveal a sensitive investigative or intelligence technique; or constitute a potential danger to the health or safety of law enforcement personnel, confidential informants, and witnesses. Although the BOP has rules in place emphasizing that records should be kept up to date, the requirement for amendment of these records would interfere with ongoing law enforcement activities and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring investigations, analyses, and reports to be continuously reinvestigated and revised.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(1) because it is not always possible to know in advance what information is relevant and necessary for the proper safekeeping, care, and custody of incarcerated persons, and for the proper security and safety of federal prisons and the public. In addition, to the extent that the BOP may collect information that may also be relevant to the law enforcement operations of other agencies, in the interests of overall, effective law enforcement, such information should be retained and made available to those agencies with such relevant responsibilities.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsections (e)(2) because the nature of criminal investigative and correctional activities is such that vital information about an individual can be obtained from other persons who are familiar with such individual and his/her activities. In such investigations and activities, it is not feasible to rely solely upon information furnished by the individual concerning his/her own activities since it may result in inaccurate information and compromise ongoing criminal investigations or correctional management decisions.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsections (e)(3) because in view of BOP’s operational responsibilities, the application of this provision would provide the subject of an investigation or correctional matter with significant information which may in fact impede the information gathering process or compromise ongoing criminal investigations or correctional management decisions.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsections (e)(4)(G) and (H) because this system is exempt from the access provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(4)(I) because publishing further details regarding categories of sources of records in the system may compromise ongoing investigations, reveal investigatory techniques and descriptions of confidential informants, or constitute a potential danger to the health or safety of law enforcement personnel.
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (e)(5) because in the collection and maintenance of information for law enforcement purposes, it is difficult to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete. Data which may seem unrelated, irrelevant, or incomplete when collected may take on added meaning or significance during the course of an investigation or with the passage of time, and could be relevant to future law enforcement decisions. In addition, because many of these records come from courts and other state and local criminal justice agencies, it is administratively impossible for them and the BOP to ensure compliance with this provision. The restrictions of subsection (e)(5) would restrict and delay trained correctional managers from timely exercising their judgment in managing the inmate population and providing for the safety and security of the prisons and the public.
</p>
<p>(10) From subsection (e)(8), because to require individual notice of disclosure of information due to a compulsory legal process would pose an impossible administrative burden on BOP and may alert subjects of investigations, who might otherwise be unaware, to the fact of those investigations.
</p>
<p>(11) From subsection (f) to the extent that this system is exempt from the provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(12) From subsection (g) to the extent that this system is exempted from other provisions of the Act.
</p>
<p>(l) The following system of records is exempted pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j) from subsections (e)(1) and (e)(5): Bureau of Prisons Inmate Trust Fund Accounts and Commissary Record System, (Justice/BOP-006). 
</p>
<p>(m) These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j). Where compliance would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the law enforcement process, and/or where it may be appropriate to permit individuals to contest the accuracy of the information collected, <i>e.g.</i> public source materials, or those supplied by third parties, the applicable exemption may be waived, either partially or totally, by the Bureau. Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (e)(1) to the extent that the Bureau may collect information that may be relevant to the law enforcement operations of other agencies. In the interests of overall, effective law enforcement, such information should be retained and made available to those agencies with relevant responsibilities. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (e)(5) because in the collection and maintenance of information for law enforcement purposes, it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely and complete. Data which may seem unrelated, irrelevant or incomplete when collected may take on added meaning or significance as an investigation progresses or with the passage of time, and could be relevant to future law enforcement decisions. In addition, amendment of the records may interfere with law enforcement operations and would impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring that law enforcement information be continuously reexamined, even where the information may have been collected from the record subject or other criminal justice agencies. The restrictions of subsection (e)(5) would restrict and delay trained correctional managers from timely exercising their judgment in managing the inmate population and providing for the safety and security of the prisons and the public.
</p>
<p>(n) The following system of records is exempted pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j) from subsections (e)(1) and (e)(5): Bureau of Prisons Inmate Physical and Mental Health Records System, (Justice/BOP-007). 
</p>
<p>(o) These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j). Where compliance would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the law enforcement process, and/or where it may be appropriate to permit individuals to contest the accuracy of the information collected, <i>e.g.</i> public source materials, or those supplied by third parties, the applicable exemption may be waived, either partially or totally, by the Bureau. Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (e)(1) to the extent that the Bureau may collect information that may be relevant to the law enforcement operations of other agencies. In the interests of overall, effective law enforcement, such information should be retained and made available to those agencies with relevant responsibilities. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (e)(5) because in the collection and maintenance of information for law enforcement purposes, it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely and complete. Data which may seem unrelated, irrelevant or incomplete when collected may take on added meaning or significance during the course of an investigation or with the passage of time, and could be relevant to future law enforcement decisions. In addition, because many of these records come from sources outside the Bureau of Prisons, it is administratively impossible for them and the Bureau to ensure compliance with this provision. The restrictions of subsection (e)(5) would restrict and delay trained correctional managers from timely exercising their judgment in managing the inmate population and providing for the health care of the inmates and the safety and security of the prisons and the public.
</p>
<p>(p) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a (c)(3) and (4), (d)(1)-(4), (e)(2) and (3), (e)(5), and (g):
</p>
<p>Inmate Electronic Message Record System (JUSTICE /BOP-013).
</p>
<p>(q) These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2) and/or (k)(2). Where compliance would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the law enforcement process, and/or where it may be appropriate to permit individuals to contest the accuracy of the information collected, the applicable exemption may be waived, either partially or totally, by the BOP. Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) to the extent that this system of records is exempt from subsection (d), and for such reasons as those cited for subsection (d) in paragraph (q)(3) below.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) to the extent that exemption from subsection (d) makes this exemption inapplicable.
</p>
<p>(3) From the access provisions of subsection (d) because exemption from this subsection is essential to prevent access of information by record subjects that may invade third party privacy; frustrate the investigative process; jeopardize the legitimate correctional interests of safety, security and good order to prison facilities; or otherwise compromise, impede, or interfere with BOP or other law enforcement agency activities.
</p>
<p>(4) From the amendment provisions of subsection (d) because amendment of the records may interfere with law enforcement operations and would impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring that, in addition to efforts to ensure accuracy so as to withstand possible judicial scrutiny, it would require that law enforcement information be continuously reexamined, even where the information may have been collected from the record subject. Also, some of these records come from other Federal criminal justice agencies or State, local and foreign jurisdictions, or from Federal and State probation and judicial offices, and it is administratively impossible to ensure that records comply with this provision.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because the nature of criminal and other investigative activities is such that vital information about an individual can be obtained from other persons who are familiar with such individual and his/her activities. In such investigations it is not feasible to rely solely upon information furnished by the individual concerning his/her own activities since it may result in inaccurate information and compromise ongoing criminal investigations or correctional management decisions.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) because in view of BOP’s operational responsibilities, application of this provision to the collection of information is inappropriate. Application of this provision could provide the subject with substantial information which may in fact impede the information gathering process or compromise ongoing criminal investigations or correctional management decisions.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(5) because in the collection and maintenance of information for law enforcement purposes, it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely and complete. Material which may seem unrelated, irrelevant or incomplete when collected may take on added meaning or significance at a later date or as an investigation progresses. Also, some of these records may come from other Federal, State, local and foreign law enforcement agencies, and from Federal and State probation and judicial offices and it is administratively impossible to ensure that the records comply with this provision. It would also require that law enforcement information be continuously reexamined even where the information may have been collected from the record subject.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (g) to the extent that this system is exempted from other provisions of the Act.

</b></p>
<p><b>Exemption of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Systems--limited access.
</b></p>
<p>(a) The following systems of records are exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) and (d):
</p>
<p>(1) Automated Records and Consummated Orders System/Diversion Analysis and Detection System (ARCOS/DADS) (Justice/DEA-003)
</p>
<p>(2) Controlled Substances Act Registration Records (Justice/DEA-005)
</p>
<p>(3) Registration Status/Investigatory Records (Justice/DEA-012)
</p>
<p>(b) These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in these systems is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2). Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because release of the disclosure accounting would enable the subject of an investigation to gain valuable information concerning the nature and scope of the investigation and seriously hamper the regulatory functions of the DEA.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (d) because access to records contained in these systems may provide the subject of an investigation information that could enable him to avoid compliance with the Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 (Pub. L. 91-513).
</p>
<p>(c) Systems of records identified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (6) of this section are exempted pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2) from subsections (c)(3) and (4); (d)(1), (2), (3), and (4); (e)(1), (2), (3), (5), and (8); and (g) of 5 U.S.C. 552a. In addition, systems of records identified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of this section are also exempted pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1) from subsections (c)(3); (d)(1), (2), (3) and (4); and (e)(1):
</p>
<p>(1) Air Intelligence Program (Justice/DEA-001).
</p>
<p>(2) Clandestine Laboratory Seizure System (CLSS) (Justice/DEA-002).
</p>
<p>(3) Planning and Inspection Division Records (Justice/DEA-010).
</p>
<p>(4) Operation Files (Justice/DEA-011).
</p>
<p>(5) Security Files (Justice/DEA-013).
</p>
<p>(6) System to Retrieve Information from Drug Evidence (STRIDE/Ballistics) (Justice/DEA-014).
</p>
<p>(d) Exemptions apply to the following systems of records only to the extent that information in the systems is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), (k)(1), and (k)(2): Air Intelligence Program (Justice/DEA-001); Clandestine Laboratory Seizure System (CLSS) (Justice/DEA-002); Planning and Inspection Division Records (Justice/DEA-010); and Security Files (Justice/DEA-013). Exemptions apply to the Operations Files (Justice/DEA-011) only to the extent that information in the system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k)(2). Exemptions apply to the System to Retrieve Information from Drug Evidence (STRIDE/Ballistics) (Justice/DEA-014) only to the extent that information in the system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2). Exemption from the particular subsections is justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because release of disclosure accounting would provide to the subjects of an investigation significant information concerning the nature of the investigation and thus would present the same impediments to law enforcement as those enumerated in paragraph (d)(3) regarding exemption from subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) to the extent that it is not applicable because an exemption is being claimed from subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(3) From the access provisions of subsection (d) because access to records in this system of records would present a serious impediment to law enforcement. Specifically, it could inform the record subject of an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory investigation of the existence of that investigation; of the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to his activities; of the identity of confidential sources, witnesses, and law enforcement personnel; and of information that may enable the subject to avoid detection or apprehension. Similarly, it may alert collateral suspects yet unprosecuted in closed cases. It could prevent the successful completion of the investigation; endanger the life, health, or physical safety of confidential sources, witnesses, and law enforcement personnel, and/or lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony; or it may simply reveal a sensitive investigative technique. In addition, granting access to such information could result in the disclosure of confidential/security-sensitive or other information that would constitute an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of third parties. Finally, access to the records could result in the release of properly classified information which would compromise the national defense or disrupt foreign policy. From the amendment provisions of subsection (d) because amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing investigations and law enforcement activities and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(1) because the application of this provision could impair investigations and interfere with the law enforcement responsibilities of the DEA for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(i) It is not possible to detect relevance or necessity of specific information in the early stages of a civil, criminal or other law enforcement investigation, case, or matter, including investigations during which DEA may obtain properly classified information. Relevance and necessity are questions of judgment and timing, and it is only after the information is evaluated that the relevance and necessity of such information can be established.
</p>
<p>(ii) During the DEA’s investigative activities DEA may detect the violation of either drug-related or non-drug related laws. In the interests of effective law enforcement, it is necessary that DEA retain all information obtained because it can aid in establishing patterns of activity and provide valuable leads for Federal and other law enforcement agencies or otherwise assist such agencies in discharging their law enforcement responsibilities. Such information may include properly classified information, the retention of which could be in the interests of national defense and/or foreign policy.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because, in some instances, the application of this provision would present a serious impediment to law enforcement for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(i) The subject of an investigation would be placed on notice as to the existence of an investigation and would therefore be able to avoid detection or apprehension, to improperly influence witnesses, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony.
</p>
<p>(ii) In certain circumstances the subject of an investigation cannot be required to provide information to investigators, and information relating to a subject’s illegal acts must be obtained from other sources.
</p>
<p>(iii) In any investigation it is necessary to obtain evidence from a variety of sources other than the subject of the investigation in order to verify the evidence necessary for successful prosecution.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) because the requirements thereof would constitute a serious impediment to law enforcement in that they could compromise the existence of an actual or potential confidential investigation and/or permit the record subject to speculate on the identity of a potential confidential source, and endanger the life, health or physical safety or either actual or potential confidential informants and witnesses, and of investigators/law enforcement personnel. In addition, the notification requirement of subsection (e)(3) could impede collection of that information from the record subject, making it necessary to collect the information solely from third party sources and thereby inhibiting law enforcement efforts.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(5) because in the collection of information for law enforcement purposes it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance as further investigation brings new details to light and the accuracy of such information can only be determined in a court of law. The restrictions imposed by subsection (e)(5) would restrict the ability of trained investigators and intelligence analysts to exercise their judgment in reporting on investigations and impede the development of criminal intelligence necessary for effective law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(8) because the application of this provision could prematurely reveal an ongoing criminal investigation to the subject of the investigation, and could reveal investigative techniques, procedures, or evidence.
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (g) to the extent that this system is exempt from the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d) pursuant to subsections (j)(2), (k)(1) and (k)(2) of the Privacy Act.
</p>
<p>(e) The following systems of records are exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a (d)(1) and (e)(1):
</p>
<p>(1) Grants of Confidentiality Files (GCF) (Justice/DEA-017), and
</p>
<p>(2) DEA Applicant Investigations (Justice/DEA-018).
</p>
<p>(f) These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in these systems is subject to exception pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5). Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (d)(1) because many persons are contacted who, without an assurance of anonymity, refuse to provide information concerning an applicant for a grant of confidentiality with DEA. By permitting access to information which may reveal the identity of the source of that information--after a promise of confidentiality has been given--DEA would breach the promised confidentiality. Ultimately, such breaches would restrict the free flow of information which is vital to a determination of an applicant’s qualifications for a grant.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (e)(1) because in the collection of information for investigative and evaluation purposes, it is impossible to determine in advance what exact information may be of assistance in determining the qualifications and suitability of a candidate. Information which may appear irrelevant, when combined with other apparently irrelevant information, can on occasion provide a composite picture of an applicant which assists in determining whether a grant of confidentiality is warranted.
</p>
<p>(g) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a (c)(3) and (4); (d)(1), (2), (3), and (4); (e)(1), (2), (3), (5), and (8); and (g): El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC) Seizure System (ESS) (JUSTICE/DEA-022). These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2), (k)(1), and (k)(2). Where compliance would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the law enforcement and counter-drug purposes of this system, and the overall law enforcement process, the applicable exemption may be waived by the DEA in its sole discretion.
</p>
<p>(h) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because making available to a record subject the accounting of disclosures from records concerning him/her would potentially reveal any investigative interest in the individual. Revealing this information would permit the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory violation to determine whether he is the subject of investigation, or to obtain valuable information concerning the nature of that investigation, and the information obtained, or the identity of witnesses and informants. Similarly, disclosing this information could reasonably be expected to compromise ongoing investigatory efforts by notifying the record subject that he/she is under investigation. This information could also permit the record subject to take measures to impede the investigation, e.g., destroy evidence, intimidate potential witnesses, or flee the area to avoid or impede the investigation.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) because this system is exempt from the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(3) From subsections (d)(1), (2), (3), and (4) because these provisions concern individual access to and amendment of records contained in this system, which consists of counter-drug and criminal investigatory records. Compliance with these provisions could alert the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory violation of the existence of that investigation, of the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to his activities, of the identity of witnesses and informants, or would provide information that could enable the subject to avoid detection or apprehension. These factors would present a serious impediment to effective law enforcement because they could prevent the successful completion of the investigation; endanger the physical safety of witnesses or informants; or lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(1) because it is not always possible to know in advance what information is relevant and necessary to complete an identity comparison between the individual being screened and a known or suspected criminal or terrorist. Also, it may not always be known what information will be relevant to law enforcement for the purpose of conducting an operational response or on-going investigation.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because application of this provision could present a serious impediment to law enforcement and counter-drug efforts in that it would put the subject of an investigation, study or analysis on notice of that fact, thereby permitting the subject to engage in conduct designed to frustrate or impede that activity. The nature of counter-drug investigations is such that vital information about an individual frequently can be obtained only from other persons who are familiar with such individual and his/her activities. In such investigations it is not feasible to rely upon information furnished by the individual concerning his own activities.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) because the requirements thereof would constitute a serious impediment to law enforcement in that they could compromise the existence of an actual or potential confidential investigation and/or permit the record subject to speculate on the identity of a potential confidential source, and endanger the life, health or physical safety of either actual or potential confidential informants and witnesses, and of investigators/law enforcement personnel. In addition, the notification requirement of subsection (e)(3) could impede collection of that information from the record subject, making it necessary to collect the information solely from third party sources and thereby inhibiting law enforcement efforts.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(5) because many of the records in this system are derived from other domestic record systems and therefore it is not possible for the DEA and EPIC to vouch for their compliance with this provision. In addition, EPIC supports but does not conduct investigations; therefore, it must be able to collect information related to illegal drug and other criminal activities and encounters for distribution to law enforcement and intelligence agencies that do conduct counter-drug investigations. In the collection of information for law enforcement and counter-drug purposes, it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance as further investigation brings new details to light. The restrictions imposed by (e)(5) would limit the ability of those agencies’ trained investigators and intelligence analysts to exercise their judgment in conducting investigations and impede the development of intelligence necessary for effective law enforcement and counterterrorism efforts. EPIC has, however, implemented internal quality assurance procedures to ensure that ESS data is as thorough, accurate, and current as possible. ESS is also exempt from the requirements of subsection (e)(5) in order to prevent the use of a challenge under subsection (e)(5) as a collateral means to obtain access to records in the ESS. ESS records are exempt from the access and amendment requirements of subsection (d) of the Privacy Act in order to protect the integrity of investigations. Exempting ESS from subsection (e)(5) serves to prevent the assertion of challenges to a record’s accuracy, timeliness, completeness, and/or relevance under subsection (e)(5) to circumvent the exemption claimed from subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(8) because to require individual notice of disclosure of information due to compulsory legal process would pose an impossible administrative burden on the DEA and EPIC and could alert the subjects of counter-drug, counterterrorism, law enforcement, or intelligence investigations to the fact of those investigations when not previously known. Additionally, compliance could present a serious impediment to law enforcement as this could interfere with the ability to issue warrants or subpoenas and could reveal investigative techniques, procedures, or evidence.
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (g) to the extent that the system is exempt from other specific subsections of the Privacy Act.
</p>
<p>(i) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a (c)(3) and (4); (d)(1), (2), (3), and (4); (e)(1), (2), (3), (4)(G), (H), (I), (5), and (8); (f); (g); and (h): Investigative Reporting and Filing System (IRFS) (JUSTICE/DEA-008). These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2), (k)(1), or (k)(2). Where compliance would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the law enforcement or counterterrorism purposes of this system, or the overall law enforcement process, the applicable exemption may be waived by the DEA in its sole discretion.
</p>
<p>(j) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because to provide a record subject with an accounting of disclosure of records in this system could impede or compromise an ongoing investigation, interfere with a law enforcement activity, lead to the disclosure of properly classified information which could compromise the national defense or disrupt foreign policy, invade the privacy of a person who provides information in connection with a particular investigation, or result in danger to an individual’s safety, including the safety of a law enforcement officer.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) because this subsection is inapplicable to the extent that an exemption is being claimed for subsections (d)(1), (2), (3), and (4).
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d)(1) because disclosure of records in the system could alert the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory violation of the existence of that investigation, of the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to his activities, of the identity of confidential witnesses and informants, or of the investigative interest of the DEA; lead to the destruction of evidence, improper influencing of witnesses, fabrication of testimony, and/or flight of the subject; reveal the details of a sensitive investigative or intelligence technique, or the identity of a confidential source; or otherwise impede, compromise, or interfere with investigative efforts and other related law enforcement and/or intelligence activities. In addition, disclosure could invade the privacy of third parties and/or endanger the life, health, and physical safety of law enforcement personnel, confidential informants, witnesses, and potential crime victims. Access to records could also result in the release of information properly classified pursuant to Executive order, thereby compromising the national defense or foreign policy.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (d)(2) because amendment of the records thought to be incorrect, irrelevant, or untimely would also interfere with ongoing investigations, criminal or civil law enforcement proceedings, and other law enforcement activities; would impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring investigations, analyses, and reports to be continuously reinvestigated and revised; and may impact information properly classified pursuant to Executive order.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsections (d)(3) and (4) because these subsections are inapplicable to the extent exemption is claimed from (d)(1) and (2).
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(1) because, in the course of its acquisition, collation, and analysis of information under the statutory authority granted to it, an agency may occasionally obtain information, including information properly classified pursuant to Executive order, that concerns actual or potential violations of law that are not strictly within its statutory or other authority, or may compile information in the course of an investigation which may not be relevant to a specific prosecution. It is impossible to determine in advance what information collected during an investigation will be important or crucial to the investigation and the apprehension of fugitives. In the interests of effective law enforcement, it is necessary to retain such information in this system of records because it can aid in establishing patterns of criminal activity and can provide valuable leads for federal and other law enforcement agencies. This consideration applies equally to information acquired from, or collated or analyzed for, both law enforcement agencies and agencies of the U.S. foreign intelligence community and military community.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(2) because in a criminal investigation, prosecution, or proceeding, the requirement that information be collected to the greatest extent practicable from the subject individual would present a serious impediment to law enforcement because the subject of the investigation, prosecution, or proceeding would be placed on notice as to the existence and nature of the investigation, prosecution, and proceeding and would therefore be able to avoid detection or apprehension, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony. Moreover, thorough and effective investigation and prosecution may require seeking information from a number of different sources.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(3) because the requirement that individuals supplying information be provided a form stating the requirements of subsection (e)(3) would constitute a serious impediment to criminal law enforcement in that it could compromise the existence of a confidential investigation or reveal the identity of witnesses or confidential informants and endanger their lives, health, and physical safety. The individual could seriously interfere with undercover investigative techniques and could take appropriate steps to evade the investigation or flee a specific area.
</p>
<p>(9) From subsections (e)(4)(G) and (H) because this system is exempt from the access provisions of subsection (d) pursuant to subsections (j) and (k) of the Privacy Act, and from subsection (e)(4)(I) to preclude any claims that the Department must provide more detail regarding the record sources for this system than the Department publishes in the system of records notice for this system. Exemption from providing any additional details about sources is necessary to preserve the security of sensitive law enforcement and intelligence information and to protect the privacy and safety of witnesses and informants and others who provide information to the DEA; and further, greater specificity of properly classified records could compromise national security.
</p>
<p>(10) From subsection (e)(5) because the acquisition, collation, and analysis of information for criminal law enforcement purposes from various agencies does not permit a determination in advance or a prediction of what information will be matched with other information and thus whether it is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance as further investigation brings new details to light and the accuracy of such information can often only be determined in a court of law. The restrictions imposed by subsection (e)(5) would restrict the ability of trained investigators, intelligence analysts, and government attorneys to exercise their judgment in collating and analyzing information and would impede the development of criminal or other intelligence necessary for effective law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(11) From subsection (e)(8) because the individual notice requirements of subsection (e)(8) could present a serious impediment to criminal law enforcement by revealing investigative techniques, procedures, evidence, or interest, and by interfering with the ability to issue warrants or subpoenas; could give persons sufficient warning to evade investigative efforts; and would pose an impossible administrative burden on the maintenance of these records and the conduct of the underlying investigations.
</p>
<p>(12) From subsections (f) and (g) because these subsections are inapplicable to the extent that the system is exempt from other specific subsections of the Privacy Act.
</p>
<p>(13) From subsection (h) when application of this provision could impede or compromise an ongoing criminal investigation, interfere with a law enforcement activity, reveal an investigatory technique or confidential source, invade the privacy of a person who provides information for an investigation, or endanger law enforcement personnel.

<p>(a) The following systems of records of the Immigration and Naturalization Service are exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a (c) (3) and (4), (d), (e) (1), (2) and (3), (e) (4)(G) and (H), (e) (5) and (8), and (g):
</p>
<p>(1) The Immigration and Naturalization Service Alien File (A-File) and Central Index System (CIS), JUSTICE/INS-001A.
</p>
<p>(2) The Immigration and Naturalization Service Index System, JUSTICE/INS-001 which consists of the following subsystems:
</p>
<p>(i) Agency Information Control Record Index.
</p>
<p>(ii) Alien Enemy Index.
</p>
<p>(iii) Congressional Mail Unit Index.
</p>
<p>(iv) Air Detail Office Index.
</p>

</p>
<p>(xxiii) Alien Documentation, Identification, and Telecommunication (ADIT) System.
</p>
<p>The exemptions apply to the extent that information in these subsystems is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2) and (k)(2).
</p>
<p>(3) The Immigration and Naturalization Service “National Automated Immigration Lookout System (NAILS) JUSTICE/INS-032.” The exemptions apply only to the extent that records in the system are subject to exemptions pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k)(2).
</p>
<p>(b) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because the release of the disclosure accounting for disclosure pursuant to the routine uses published for these subsystems would permit the subject of a criminal or civil investigation to obtain valuable information concerning the nature of that investigation and present a serious impediment to law enforcement. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d), this subsection will not be applicable. 
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d) because access to the records contained in these subsystems would inform the subject of a criminal or civil investigation of the existence of that investigation, provide the subject of the investigation with information that might enable him to avoid detection or apprehension, and present a serious impediment to law enforcement. 
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(1) because in the course of criminal or civil investigations, the Immigration and Naturalization Service often obtains information concerning the violation of laws other than those relating to violations over which INS has investigative jurisdiction. In the interests of effective law enforcement, it is necessary that INS retain this information since it can aid in establishing patterns of criminal activity and provide valuable leads for those law enforcement agencies that are charged with enforcing other segments of the criminal law. 
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because in a criminal or civil investigation, the requirement that information be collected to the greatest extent possible from the subject individual would present a serious impediment to law enforcement in that the subject of the investigation would be placed on notice of the existence of the investigation and would therefore be able to avoid detection or apprehension. 
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) because the requirement that individuals supplying information be provided with a form stating the requirements of subsection (e)(3) would constitute a serious impediment to law enforcement in that it could compromise the existence of a confidential investigation, reveal the identity of confidential sources of information and endanger the life or physical safety of confidential informants. 
</p>
<p>(7) From subsections (e)(4) (G) and (H) because these subsystems of records are exempt from individual access pursuant to subsection (j) of the Privacy Act of 1974. 
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(5) because in the collection of information for law enforcement purposes it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance as further investigation brings new details to light and the accuracy of such information can only be determined in a court of law. The restrictions of subsection (e)(5) would restrict the ability of trained investigators and intelligence analysts to exercise their judgment in reporting on investigations and impede the development of criminal intelligence necessary for effective law enforcement. 
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (e)(8) because the individual notice requirements of subsection (e)(8) could present a serious impediment to law enforcement as this could interfere with the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s ability to issue administrative subpoenas and could reveal investigative techniques and procedures. 
</p>
<p>(10) From subsection (g) because these subsystems of records are compiled for law enforcement purposes and have been exempted from the access provisions of subsections (d) and (f). 
</p>
<p>(11) In addition, these systems of records are exempt from subsections (c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4) (G) and (H) to the extent they are subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1). To permit access to records classified pursuant to Executive Order would violate the Executive Order protecting classified information.
</p>
<p>(c) The Border Patrol Academy Index Subsystem is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a (d) and (f). 
</p>
<p>This exemption applies only to the extent that information in this subsystem is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k). 
</p>
<p>(d) Exemptions for the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons. 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (d) because exemption is claimed only for those testing and examination materials used to determine an individual’s qualifications for retention and promotion in the Immigration and Naturalization Service. This is necessary to protect the integrity of testing materials and to insure fair and uniform examinations. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (f) because the subsystem of records has been exempted from the access provisions of subsection (d). 
</p>
<p>(e) The Orphan Petitioner Index and Files (Justice/INS-007) system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(d). This exemption applies only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1).
</p>
<p>(f) Exemption from paragraph (d) of this section is claimed solely because of the possibility of receipt of classified information during the course of INS investigation of prospective adoptive parents.
</p>
<p>Although it would be rare, prospective adoptive parents may originally be from foreign countries (for example) and information received on them from their native countries may require classification under Executive Order 12356 which safeguards national security information. If such information is relevant to the INS determination with respect to adoption, the information would be kept in the file and would be classified accordingly. Therefore, access could not be granted to the record subject under the Privacy Act without violating E.O. 12356.
</p>
<p>(g) The Office of Internal Audit Investigations Index and Records (Justice/INS-002) system of records is exempt under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) from subsections (c)(3) and (4); (d); (e)(1), (2), (3), (5) and (8); and (g), but only to the extent that this system contains records within the scope of subsection (j)(2), and to the extent that records in the system are subject to exemption therefrom. In addition, this system of records is also exempt under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2) from subsections (c)(3); (d); and (e)(1), but only to the extent that this system contains records within the scope of subsection (k)(2), and to the extent that records in the system are subject to exemption therefrom.
</p>
<p>(h) The following justification apply to the exemptions from particular subsections: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because the release of the disclosure accounting for disclosure could permit the subject of an actual or potential criminal or civil investigation to obtain valuable information concerning the existence and nature of the investigation, the fact that individuals are subjects of the investigation, and present a serious impediment to law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) to the extent that the exemption from subsection (d) is applicable. Subsection (c)(4) will not be applicable to the extent that records in the system are properly withholdable under subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(3) From the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d) because access to the records contained in this system of records could inform the subject of a criminal or civil investigation of the existence of that investigation; of the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to their activities; of the identity of confidential sources, witnesses and law enforcement personnel; and of information that may enable the subject to avoid detection or apprehension. Such disclosures would present a serious impediment to effective law enforcement where they prevent the successful completion of the investigation; endanger the physical safety of confidential sources, witnesses, and law enforcement personnel; and/or lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony. In addition, granting access to these records could result in a disclosure that would constitute an unwarranted invasion of the privacy of third parties. Amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing investigations and law enforcement activities and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(1) because in the course of criminal or civil investigations, the Immigration and Naturalization Service often obtains information concerning the violation of laws other than those relating to violations over which INS has investigative jurisdiction, in the interests of effective law enforcement, it is necessary that INS retain this information since it can aid in establishing patterns of criminal activity and provide valuable leads for those law enforcement agencies that are charged with enforcing other segments of the criminal law.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because in a criminal investigation, the requirement that information be collected to the greatest extent possible from the subject individual would present a serious impediment to law enforcement in that the subject of the investigation would be placed on notice of the existence of the investigation and would therefore be able to avoid detection or apprehension.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) because the requirement that individuals supplying information be provided with a form stating the requirements of subsection (e)(3) would constitute a serious impediment of criminal law enforcement in that it could compromise the existence of a confidential investigation, reveal the identify of confidential sources of information and endanger the life or physical safety of confidential informants.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(5) because in the collection of information for criminal law enforcement purposes it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance as further investigation brings new details to light and the accuracy of such information can only be determined in a court of law. The restrictions of subsection (e)(5) would restrict the ability of trained investigators and intelligence analysts to exercise their judgment in reporting on investigations and impede the development of criminal intelligence necessary for effective law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(8) because the individual notice requirements of subsection (e)(8) could present a serious impediment to criminal law enforcement as this could interfere with the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s ability to issue administrative subpoenas and could reveal investigative techniques and procedures.
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (g) for those portions of this system of records that were compiled for criminal law enforcement purposes and which are subject to exemption from the access provisions of subsections (d) pursuant to subsection (j)(2).
</p>
<p>(i) The Law Enforcement Support Center Database (LESC) (Justice/INS-023) system of records is exempt under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) from subsections (c) (3) and (4); (d); (e) (1), (2), (3), (5), (8) and (g); but only to the extent that this system contains records within the scope of subsection (j)(2), and to the extent that records in the system are subject to exemption therefrom. In addition, this system of records is also exempt in part under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2) from subsections (c)(3); (d); and (e)(1), but only to the extent that this system contains records within the scope of subsection (k)(2), and to the extent that records in the system are subject to exemption therefrom.
</p>
<p>(j) The following justifications apply to the exemptions from particular subsections:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) for reasons stated in paragraph (h)(1) of this section.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) for reasons stated in paragraph (h)(2) of this section.
</p>
<p>(3) From the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d) because access to the records contained in this system of records could inform the subject of a criminal or civil investigation of the existence of that investigation; of the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to their activities; and of information that may enable the subject to avoid detection or apprehension. Such disclosures would present a serious impediment to effective law enforcement where they prevent the successful completion of the investigation or other law enforcement operation such as deportation or exclusion. In addition, granting access to these records could result in a disclosure that would constitute an unwarranted invasion of the privacy of third parties. Amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing investigations and law enforcement activities and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(1) for reasons stated in paragraph (h)(4) of this section.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) for reasons stated in paragraph (h)(5) of this section.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) because the requirement that individuals supplying information be provided with a form stating the requirements of subsection (e)(3) would constitute a serious impediment to criminal law enforcement in that it could compromise the existence of a confidential investigation.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(5) for reasons stated in paragraph (h)(7) of this section.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(8) for reasons stated in paragraph (h)(8) of this section.

<p>(9) From subsection (g) to the extent that this system is exempt from the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(k) The Attorney/Representative Complaint/Petition File (JUSTICE/INS-022) system of records is exempt under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2) from subsections (c)(3) and (4); (d); (e)(1), (2), (3), (5), and (8); and (g); but only to the extent that this system contains records within the scope of subsection (j)(2), and to the extent that records in this system are subject to exemption therefrom. In addition, this system of records is also exempt in part under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a (k)(2) from subsections (c)(3); (d); and (e)(1), but only to the extent that this system contains records within the scope of subsection (k)(2), and to the extent that records in this system are subject to exemption therefrom.

<p>(m) The Worksite Enforcement Activity and Records Index (LYNX) (JUSTICE/INS-025) system of records is exempt under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2) from subsections (c)(3) and (4); (d); (e)(1), (2), (3), (5), and (8); and (g); but only to the extent that this system contains records within the scope of subsection (j)(2), and to the extent that records in this system are subject to exemption therefrom. In addition, this system of records is also exempt in part under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2) from subsections (c)(3); (d); and (e)(1), but only to the extent that this system contains records within the scope of subsection (k)(2), and to the extent that records in this system are subject to exemption therefrom.

</p>
<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2).
</p>
<p>(b) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because the release of disclosure accounting for disclosure made pursuant to subsection (b) of the Act, including those permitted under routine uses published for this system of records would permit a person to determine whether he is the subject of a criminal investigation, and to determine whether a warrant has been issued against him, and therefore present a serious impediment to law enforcement. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act, this section is inapplicable. 
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d) because access to records would inform a person for whom a federal warrant has been issued of the nature and scope of information obtained as to his activities, of the identity of informants, and afford the person sufficient information to enable the subject to avoid apprehension. These factors would present a serious impediment to law enforcement in that they would thwart the warrant process and endanger lives of informants etc. 
</p>
<p>(4) From subsections (e)(1) and (e)(5) because the requirements of these subsections would present a serious impediment to law enforcement in that it is impossible to determine in advance what information collected during an investigation will be important or crucial to the apprehension of Federal fugitives. In the interest of effective law enforcement, it is appropriate in a thorough investigation to retain seemingly irrelevant, untimely, or inaccurate information which, with the passage of time, would aid in establishing patterns of activity and provide investigative leads toward fugitive apprehension and assist in law enforcement activities of other agencies.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because the requirement that information be collected to the greatest extent practical from the subject individual would present a serious impediment to law enforcement because the subject of the investigation or prosecution would be placed on notice as to the existence of the warrant and would therefore be able to avoid detection or apprehension.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) because the requirement that individuals supplying information be provided with a form stating the requirements of subsection (e)(3) would constitute a serious impediment to law enforcement in that it could compromise the existence of a confidential investigation or reveal identity of confidential informants. 
</p>
<p>(7) From subsections (e)(4) (G) and (H) since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (f) and (d) of the Act, these subsections are inapplicable. 
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(8) because the individual notice requirement of this subsection would present a serious impediment to law enforcement in that it would give persons sufficient warning to avoid warrants, subpoena, etc. 
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (f) because procedures for notice to an individual pursuant to subsection (f)(1) as to existence of records pertaining to him dealing with warrants must be exempted because such notice to individuals would be detrimental to the successful service of a warrant. Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act the rules required pursuant to subsections (f) (2) through (5) are inapplicable to this system of records. 
</p>
<p>(10) From subsection (g) since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) and (f) this section is inapplicable and is exempted for the reasons set forth for these subsections. 
</p>
<p>(c) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a (c) (3) and (4), (d), (e) (2) and (3), (e)(4) (G) and (H), (e)(8), (f)(2) and (g): 
</p>
<p>(1) Witness Security System (JUSTICE/USM-008).
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2). 
</p>
<p>(d) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because the release of the disclosure accounting for disclosures made pursuant to subsection (b) of the Act including those permitted under routine uses published for this system of records would hamper the effective functioning of the Witness Security Program which by its very nature requires strict confidentiality vis-a-vis the records. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) for the reason stated in (b)(2) of this section. 
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d) because the U.S. Marshals Service Witness Security Program aids efforts of law enforcement officials to prevent, control or reduce crime. Access to records would present a serious impediment to effective law enforcement through revelation of confidential sources and through disclosure of operating procedures of the program, and through increased exposure of the program to the public. 
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(2) because in the Witness Security Program the requirement that information be collected to the greatest extent possible from the subject individual would constitute an impediment to the program, which is sometimes dependent on sources other than the subject witness for verification of information pertaining to the witness. 
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(3) for the reason stated in (b)(6) of this section.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(4) (G) and (H) for the reason stated in (b)(7) of this section.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(8) for the reason stated in (b)(8) of this section.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (f)(2) since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act the rules required pursuant to subsection (f) (2) through (5) are inapplicable to this system of records. 
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (g) for the reason stated in (b)(10) of this section.
</p>
<p>(e) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) and (4), (d), (e)(1), (2) and (3), (e)(4)(G) and (H), (e)(5), (e)(8), (f) and (g).
</p>
<p>(1) Internal Affairs System (JUSTICE/USM-002)--Limited access. These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), (k)(2) or (k)(5). Where compliance would not interfere with or adversely affect the law enforcement process, the USMS may waive the exemptions, either partially or totally.
</p>
<p>(f) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsections (c)(3) and (d) to the extent that release of the disclosure accounting may impede or interfere with civil or criminal law enforcement efforts, reveal a source who furnished information to the Government in confidence, and/or result in an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of collateral record subjects or other third party individuals.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) for the reason stated in (b)(2) of this section.
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (e)(1) to the extent that it is necessary to retain all information in order not to impede, compromise, or interfere with civil or criminal law enforcement efforts, e.g., where the significance of the information may not be readily determined and/or where such information may provide leads or assistance to Federal and other law agencies in discharging their law enforcement responsibilities.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(2) because the requirement that information be collected to the greatest extent practicable from the subject individual would present a serious impediment to law enforcement because the subject of the investigation or prosecution would be placed on notice as to the existence of the investigation and would therefore be able to compromise the investigation and avoid detection or apprehension.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(3) for the reason stated in (b)(6) of this section.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsections (e)(4) (G) and (H) for the reason stated in (b)(7) of this section.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(5) because in the collection of information for law enforcement purposes it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance and the accuracy of such information can only be determined in a court of law. The restrictions imposed by subsection (e)(5) would restrict the ability to collect information for law enforcement purposes and interfere with the preparation of a complete investigative report or otherwise impede effective law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(8) because the individual notice requirement of this subsection would present a serious impediment to law enforcement in that the subject of the investigation would be alerted as to the existence of the investigation and therefore be able to compromise the investigation and avoid detection, subpoena, etc.
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (f) because procedures for notice to an individual pursuant to subsection (f)(1) as to the existence of records dealing with investigations of criminal or civil law violations would enable the individual to compromise the investigation and evade detection or apprehension. Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act, the rules required pursuant to subsections (f)(2) through (f)(5) are not applicable to this system. 
</p>
<p>(10) From subsection (g) for the reason stated in (b)(10) of this section.
</p>
<p>(g) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c) (3) and (4), (d), (e)(1), (2) and (3), (e)(4) (G) and (H), (e)(5), (e)(8), (f) and (g):
</p>
<p>(1) U.S. Marshals Service Threat Analysis Information System (JUSTICE/USM-009).
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2). 
</p>
<p>(h) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because to release the disclosure accounting would permit a person to determine whether he or she has been identified as a specific threat to USMS protectees and to determine the need for countermeasures to USMS protective activities and thereby present a serious impediment to law enforcement. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) because it is inapplicable since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d) because to permit access to records would inform a person of the nature and scope of information obtained as to his or her threat-related activities and of the identity of confidential sources, and afford the person sufficient information to develop countermeasures to thwart protective arrangements and endanger lives of USMS protectees, informants, etc. To permit amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing criminal law enforcement and impose an impossible administrative burden requiring criminal investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsections (e) (1) and (5) because the collection of investigatory information used to assess the existence, extent and likelihood of a threat situation necessarily includes material from which it is impossible to identify and segregate information which may not be important to the conduct of a thorough assessment. It is often impossible to determine in advance if all information collected is accurate, relevant, timely and complete but, in the interests of developing effective protective measures, it is necessary that the U.S. Marshals Service retain this information in order to establish patterns of activity to aid in accurately assessing threat situations. The restrictions of subsections (e) (1) and (5) would impede the protective responsibilities of the Service and could result in death or serious injury to Marshals Service protectees.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because to collect information from the subject individual would serve notice that he or she is identified as a specific threat to USMS protectees and would enable the subject individual to develop countermeasures to protective activities and thereby present a serious impediment to law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) because to inform individuals as required by this subsection would enable the subject individual to develop countermeasures to USMS protective arrangements or identify confidential sources and thereby present a serious impediment to law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsections (e)(4) (G) and (H) because they are inapplicable since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (d) and (f) of the Act.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(8) because to serve notice would give persons sufficient warning to develop countermeasures to protective arrangements and thereby present a serious impediment to law enforcement through compromise of protective procedures, etc.
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (f) because this system of records is exempt from the provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(10) From subsection (g) because it is inapplicable since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (d) and (f).
</p>
<p>(i) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c) (3) and (d):
</p>
<p>(1) Judicial Facility Security Index System (JUSTICE/USM-010)
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is exempt pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5).
</p>
<p>(j) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) only to the extent that release of the disclosure accounting would reveal the identity of a confidential source.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (d) only to the extent that access to information would reveal the identity of a confidential source.
</p>
<p>(k) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c) (3) and (4), (d), (e)(1), (2) and (3), (e)(4) (G) and (H), (e)(5), (e)(8), (f) and (g):
</p>
<p>(1) U.S. Marshals Service Freedom of Information/Privacy Act (FOIA/PA) Files (JUSTICE/USM-012).
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2), (k)(2) and (k)(5).
</p>
<p>(l) Because this system contains Department of Justice civil and criminal law enforcement, investigatory records, exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because to release the disclosure accounting would permit the subject of an investigation to obtain valuable information concerning the existence and nature of the investigation and present a serious impediment to law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) because that portion of this system which consists of investigatory records compiled for law enforcement purposes is being exempted from the provisions of subsection (d), rendering this provision not applicable.
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d) because to permit access to investigatory records would reveal the identity of confidential sources and impede ongoing investigative or law enforcement activities by the premature disclosure of information related to those efforts. To permit amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing criminal law enforcement and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring criminal investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsections (e) (1) and (5) because it is often impossible to determine in advance if investigatory records contained in this system are accurate, relevant, timely and complete but, in the interests of effective law enforcement, it is necessary to retain this information to aid in establishing patterns of activity and provide leads in criminal investigations.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because to collect information from the subject individual would serve notice that he or she is the subject of criminal investigative or law enforcement activity and thereby present a serious impediment to law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) because to inform individuals as required by this subsection would enable the subject individual to identify confidential sources, reveal the existence of an investigation, and compromise law enforcement efforts.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsections (e)(4) (G) and (H) because they are inapplicable since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (d) and (f) for investigatory records contained in this system.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(8) because to serve notice would give persons sufficient warning to evade law enforcement efforts.
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (f) because investigatory records contained in this system are exempt from the provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(10) From subsection (g) because it is inapplicable since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (d) and (f).
</p>
<p>(m) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c) (3) and (4), (d), (e) (2) and (3), (e)(4) (G) and (H), (e)(8), (f) and (g):
</p>
<p>(1) U.S. Marshals Service Administrative Proceedings, Claims and Civil Litigation Files (JUSTICE/USM-013).
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) or (k)(5).
</p>
<p>(n) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because to release the disclosure accounting for disclosures pursuant to the routine uses published for this system would permit the subject of a criminal or civil case or matter under investigation, or a case or matter in litigation, or under regulatory or administrative review or action, to obtain valuable information concerning the nature of that investigation, case or matter, and present a serious impediment to law enforcement or civil legal activities, or reveal a confidential source.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) because the exemption claimed for subsection (d) will make this section inapplicable.
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d) because to permit access to records contained in this system would provide information concerning litigation strategy, or case development, and/or reveal the nature of the criminal or civil case or matter under investigation or administrative review, or in litigation, and present a serious impediment to law enforcement or civil legal activities, or reveal a confidential source. 
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(2) because effective legal representation, defense, or claim adjudication necessitates collecting information from all individuals having knowledge of the criminal or civil case or matter. To collect information primarily from the subject individual would present a serious impediment to law enforcement or civil legal activities. 
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(3) because to inform the individuals as required by this subsection would permit the subject of a criminal or civil matter under investigation or administrative review to compromise that investigation or administrative review and thereby impede law enforcement efforts or civil legal activities.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsections (e)(4) (G) and (H) because these provisions are inapplicable since this system is exempt from subsections (d) and (f) of the Act.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(8) because to serve notice would give persons sufficient warning to compromise a criminal or civil investigation or administrative review and thereby impede law enforcement of civil legal activities.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (f) because this system of records is exempt from the provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(9) From subsection (g) because it is inapplicable since an exemption is claimed for subsections (d) and (f). 
</p>
<p>(o) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c) (3) and (4), (d), (e) (1), (2), (5) and (g):
</p>
<p>(1) U.S. Marshals Service Prisoner Transportation System (JUSTICE/USM-003).
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2).
</p>
<p>(p) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) where the release of the disclosure accounting for disclosures made pursuant to subsection (b) of the Act would reveal a source who furnished information to the Government in confidence.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) to the extent that the system is exempt from subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d) because access to records would reveal the names and other information pertaining to prisoners, including sensitive security information such as the identities and locations of confidential sources, <i>e.g.,</i> informants and protected witnesses; and disclose access codes, data entry codes and message routing symbols used in law enforcement communications systems to schedule and effect prisoner movements. Thus, such a compromise of law enforcement communications systems would subject law enforcement personnel and other prisoners to harassment and possible danger, and present a serious threat to law enforcement activities. To permit amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing criminal law enforcement and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring that information affecting the prisoner’s security classification be continuously reinvestigated when contested by the prisoner, or by anyone on his behalf.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsections (e) (1) and (5) because the security classification of prisoners is based upon information collected during official criminal investigations; and, in the interest of ensuring safe and secure prisoner movements it may be necessary to retain information the relevance, necessity, accuracy, timeliness, and completeness of which cannot be readily established, but which may subsequently prove useful in establishing patterns of criminal activity or avoidance, and thus be essential to assigning an appropriate security classification to the prisoner. The restrictions of subsection (e) (1) and (5) would impede the information collection responsibilities of the USMS, and the lack of all available information could result in death or serious injury to USMS and other law enforcement personnel, prisoners in custody, and members of the public.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because the requirement to collect information from the subject individual would impede the information collection responsibilities of the USMS in that the USMS is often dependent upon sources other than the subject individual for verification of information pertaining to security risks posed by the individual prisoner.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (g) to the extent that the system is exempt from subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(q) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) and (4), (d), (e)(1), (2), (3), (e)(5) and (e)(8) and (g): 
</p>
<p>(1) U.S. Marshals Service Prisoner Processing and Population Management System (JUSTICE/USM-005).
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2). 
</p>
<p>(r) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because to release the disclosure accounting would permit the subject of a criminal proceeding to determine the extent or nature of law enforcement authorities’ knowledge regarding his/her alleged misconduct or criminal activities. The disclosure of such information could alert the subject to devise ways in which to conceal his/her activities and/or prevent law enforcement from learning additional information about his/her activities, or otherwise inhibit law enforcement efforts. In addition, where the individual is the subject of an ongoing or potential inquiry/investigation, such release could reveal the nature thereof prematurely, and may also enable the subject to determine the identity of witnesses and informants. Such disclosure could compromise the ongoing or potential inquiry/investigation, endanger the lives of witnesses and informants, or otherwise impede or thwart law enforcement efforts. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) to the extent that the system is exempt from subsection (d). 
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d) because to permit unlimited access would permit the subject of a criminal proceeding to determine the extent or nature of law enforcement authorities’ knowledge regarding his/her alleged misconduct or criminal activities. The disclosure of such information could alert the subject to devise ways in which to conceal his/her activities and/or prevent law enforcement from learning additional information about his/her activities, or otherwise inhibit law enforcement efforts. Disclosure would also allow the subject to obtain sensitive information concerning the existence and nature of security measures and jeopardize the safe and secure transfer of the prisoner, the safety and security of other prisoners, informants and witnesses, law enforcement personnel, and the public. In addition, disclosure may enable the subject to learn prematurely of an ongoing or potential inquiry/investigation, and may also permit him/her to determine the identities of confidential sources, informants, or protected witnesses. Such disclosure could compromise the ongoing or potential inquiry/investigation, endanger the lives of witnesses and informants, or otherwise impede or thwart law enforcement efforts. Disclosure may also constitute an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of third parties. Further, disclosure would reveal access codes, data entry codes and message routing symbols used in law enforcement communications systems. Access to such codes and symbols would permit the subject to impede the flow of law enforcement communications and compromise the integrity of law enforcement information, and thus present a serious threat to law enforcement activities. To permit amendment of the records would expose security matters, and would impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring that security precautions, and information pertaining thereto, be continuously reevaluated if contested by the prisoner, or by anyone on his or her behalf. Similarly, to permit amendment could interfere with ongoing or potential inquiries/investigations by requiring that such inquiries/investigations be continuously reinvestigated, or that information collected (the relevance and accuracy of which cannot readily be determined) be subjected to continuous change. 
</p>
<p>(4) From subsections (e)(1) and (5) because the system may contain investigatory information or information which is derived from information collected during official criminal investigations. In the interest of effective law enforcement and litigation, of securing the prisoner and of protecting the public, it may be necessary to retain information the relevance, necessity, accuracy, timeliness and completeness of which cannot be readily established. Such information may nevertheless provide investigative leads to other Federal or law enforcement agencies, or prove necessary to establish patterns of criminal activity or behavior, and/or prove essential to the safe and secure detention (and movement) of prisoners. Further, the provisions of (e)(1) and (e)(5) would restrict the ability of the USMS in exercising its judgment in reporting information during investigations or during the development of appropriate security measures, and thus present a serious impediment to law enforcement efforts. 
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) because the requirement to collect information from the subject individual would impede the information collection responsibilities of the USMS which is often dependent upon sources other than the subject individual for verification of information pertaining to security risks posed by the individual prisoner, to alleged misconduct or criminal activity of the prisoner, or to any matter affecting the safekeeping and disposition of the individual prisoner. 
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) because to inform individuals as required by this subsection could impede the information gathering process, reveal the existence of an ongoing or potential inquiry/investigation or security procedure, and compromise law enforcement efforts. 
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(8) because to serve notice would give persons sufficient warning to compromise an ongoing or potential inquiry/investigation and thereby evade and impede law enforcement and security efforts. 
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (g) to the extent that the system is exempt from subsection (d). 
</p>
<p>(s) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c) (3) and (4), (d), (e) (1), (2), (3), (e) (5) and (e) (8) and (g):
</p>
<p><b>Joint Automated Booking Stations, Justice/USM-014
</b></p>
<p>(t) These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in the system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2). Where compliance would not interfere with or adversely affect the law enforcement process, the USMS may waive the exemptions, either partially or totally. Exemption from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsections (c)(3) and (d) to the extent that access to records in this system of records may impede or interfere with law enforcement efforts, result in the disclosure of information that would constitute and unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of collateral record subjects or other third parties, and/or jeopardize the health and/or safety of third parties.
</p>
<p>(2) Where access to certain records may be appropriate, exemption from the amendment provisions of subsection (d)(2) in necessary to the extent that the necessary and appropriate justification, together with proof of record inaccuracy, is not provided, and/or to the extent that numerous, frivolous requests to amend could impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring agencies to continuously review booking and arrest data, much of which is collected from the arrestee during the arrest.
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (e)(1) to the extent that it is necessary to retain all information in order not to impede, compromise, or interfere with law enforcement efforts, e.g., where the significance of the information may not be readily determined and/or where such information may provide leads or assistance to Federal and other law enforcement agencies in discharging their law enforcement responsibilities.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(2) because, in some instances, the application of this provision would present a serious impediment to law enforcement since it may be necessary to obtain and verify information from a variety of sources other than the record subject to ensure safekeeping, security, and effective law enforcement. For example, it may be necessary that medical and psychiatric personnel provide information regarding the subject’s behavior, physical health, or mental stability, etc. To ensure proper care while in custody, or it may be necessary to obtain information from a case agent or the court to ensure proper disposition of the subject individual.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(3) because the requirement that agencies inform each individual whom it asks to supply information of such information as is required by subsection (e)(3) may, in some cases, impede the information gathering process or otherwise interfere with or compromise law enforcement efforts, e.g., the subject may deliberately withhold information, or give erroneous information.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(5) because in the collection of information for law enforcement purposes it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance and the accuracy of such information can only be determined in a court of law. The restrictions imposed by subsection (e)(5) would restrict the ability to collect information for law enforcement purposes and may prevent the eventual development of the necessary criminal intelligence or otherwise impede effective law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(8) to the extent that such notice may impede, interfere with, or otherwise compromise law enforcement and security efforts.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (g) to the extent that this system is exempt from the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(u) Consistent with the legislative purpose of the Privacy Act of 1974, the United States Marshals Service will grant access to nonexempt material in records which are maintained by the Service. Disclosure will be governed by the Department’s Privacy Regulations, but will be limited to the extent that the identity of confidential sources will not be compromised; subjects of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal, civil or regulatory violation will not be alerted to the investigation; the physical safety of witnesses, informants and law enforcement personnel will not be endangered; the privacy of third parties will not be violated; and that the disclosure would not otherwise impede effective law enforcement. Whenever possible, information of the above nature will be deleted from the requested documents and the balance made available. The controlling principle behind this limited access is to allow disclosures except those indicated above.

<p><b>Exemption of Drug Enforcement Administration and Immigration and Naturalization Service Joint System of Records.
</b></p>
<p>(a) The following system of records is exempted pursuant to provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) from subsections (c) (3) and (4), (d), (e) (1), (2) and (3), (e)(4) (G), (H), and (I), (e)(5) and (8), (f), (g), and (h) of 5 U.S.C. 552a; in addition the following system of records is exempted pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552 (k)(1) and (k)(2) from subsections (c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4) (G), (H), and (I), and (f) of 5 U.S.C. 552a.
</p>
<p>(1) Automated Intelligence Record System (Pathfinder), JUSTICE/DEA-INS-111.
</p>
<p>These exemptions apply to the extent that information in those systems is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2), (k)(1) and (k)(2).
</p>
<p>(b) The system of records listed under paragraph (a) of this section is exempted, for the reasons set forth from the following provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a:
</p>
<p>(1)(c)(3). The release of the disclosure accounting for disclosures made pursuant to subsection (b) of the Act, including those permitted under the routine uses published for these systems of records, would permit the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory violation to determine whether he is the subject of investigation, or to obtain valuable information concerning the nature of that investigation, and the information obtained, or the identity of witnesses and informants and would therefore present a serious impediment to law enforcement. In addition, disclosure of the accounting would amount to notice to the individual of the existence of a record; such notice requirement under subsection (f)(1) is specifically exempted for these systems of records.
</p>
<p>(2)(c)(4). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records) this subsection is inapplicable to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(3)(d). Access to the records contained in these systems would inform the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory violation of the existence of that investigation, or the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to his activities, of the identity of witnesses and informants, or would provide information that could enable the subject to avoid detection or apprehension. These factors would present a serious impediment to effective law enforcement because they could prevent the successful completion of the investigation, endanger the physical safety of witnesses or informants, and lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony. 
</p>
<p>(4)(e)(1). The notices of these systems of records published in the <i>Federal Register</i> set forth the basic statutory or related authority for maintenance of this system. However, in the course of criminal or other law enforcement investigations, cases, and matters, the Immigration and Naturalization Service or the Drug Enforcement Administration will occasionally obtain information concerning actual or potential violations of law that are not strictly within its statutory or other authority or may compile information in the course of an investigation which may not be relevant to a specific prosecution. In the interests of effective law enforcement, it is necessary to retain such information in these systems of records since it can aid in establishing patterns of criminal activity and can provide valuable leads for federal and other law enforcement agencies. 
</p>
<p>(5)(e)(2). In a criminal investigation or prosecution, the requirement that information be collected to the greatest extent practicable from the subject individual would present a serious impediment to law enforcement because the subject of the investigation or prosecution would be placed on notice as to the existence of the investigation and would therefore be able to avoid detection or apprehension, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony.
</p>
<p>(6)(e)(3). The requirement that individuals supplying information be provided with a form stating the requirements of subsection (e)(3) would constitute a serious impediment to law enforcement in that it could compromise the existence of a confidential investigation or reveal the identity of witnesses or confidential informants.
</p>
<p>(7)(e)(4) (G) and (H). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (f) (Agency Rules) and (d) (Access to Records) of the Act these subsections are inapplicable to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsections (f) and (d).
</p>
<p>(8)(e)(4)(I). The categories of sources of the records in these systems have been published in the <i>Federal Register</i> in broad generic terms in the belief that this is all that subsection (e)(4)(I) of the Act requires. In the event, however, that this subsection should be interpreted to require more detail as to the identity of sources of the records in these systems, exemption from this provision is necessary in order to protect the confidentiality of the sources of criminal and other law enforcement information. Such exemption is further necessary to protect the privacy and physical safety of witnesses and informants.
</p>
<p>(9)(e)(5). In the collection of information for criminal law enforcement purposes it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance as further investigation brings new details to light and the accuracy of such information can often only be determined in a court of law. The restrictions of subsection (e)(5) would restrict the ability of trained investigators, intelligence analysts, and government attorneys in exercising their judgment in reporting on information and investigations and impede the development of criminal or other intelligence necessary for effective law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(10)(e)(8). The individual notice requirements of subsection (e)(8) could present a serious impediment to law enforcement as this could interfere with the ability to issue warrants or subpoenas and could reveal investigative techniques, procedures, or evidence.
</p>
<p>(11)(f). Procedures for notice to an individual pursuant to subsection (f)(1) as to the existence of records pertaining to him dealing with an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory investigation or prosecution must be exempted because such notice to an individual would be detrimental to the successful conduct and/or completion of an investigation or prosecution pending or future. In addition, mere notice of the fact of an investigation could inform the subject or others that their activities are under or may become the subject of an investigation and could enable the subjects to avoid detection or apprehension, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony.
</p>
<p>Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records) the rules required pursuant to subsections (f) (2) through (5) are inapplicable to these systems of records to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(12)(g). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (d) (Access to Records) and (f) (Agency Rules) this section is inapplicable, and is exempted for the reasons set forth for those subsections, to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsections (d) and (f).
</p>
<p>(13)(h). Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) (Access to Records) and (f) (Agency Rules) this section is inapplicable, and is exempted for the reasons set forth for those subsections, to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsections (d) and (f). 
</p>
<p>(14) In addition, exemption is claimed for these systems of records from compliance with the following provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1): subsections (c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4) (G), (H), and (I), and (f) to the extent that the records contained in these systems are specifically authorized to be kept secret in the interests of national defense and foreign policy.

<p><b>Exemption of the INTERPOL-United States National Central Bureau (INTERPOL-USNCB) System.
</b></p>
<p>(a) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c) (3) and (4), (d), (e) (1), (2), and (3), (e)(4) (G) and (H), (e)(5) and (8), (f) and (g):

<p>This exemption applies only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2), (k)(2), and (k)(5).
</p>
<p>(b) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because the release of accounting disclosures would place the subject of an investigation on notice that he is under investigation and provide him with significant information concerning the nature of the investigation, thus resulting in a serious impediment to law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsections (c)(4), (d), (e)(4) (G), and (H), (f) and (g) because these provisions concern individual access to records and such access might compromise ongoing investigations reveal investigatory techniques and confidential informants, and invade the privacy of private citizens who provide information in connection with a particular investigation.
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (e)(1) because information received in the course of an international criminal investigation may involve a violation of state or local law, and it is beneficial to maintain this information to provide investigative leads to state and local law enforcement agencies.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(2) because collecting information from the subject of criminal investigations would thwart the investigation by placing the subject on notice.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(3) because supplying an individual with a statement of the intended use of the requested information could compromise the existence of a confidential investigation, and may inhibit cooperation.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(5) because the vast majority of these records come from local criminal justice agencies and it is administratively impossible to ensure that the records comply with this provision. Submitting agencies are, however, urged on a continuing basis to ensure that their records are accurate and include all dispositions.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(8) because the notice requirements of this provision could present a serious impediment to law enforcement by revealing investigative techniques, procedures, and the existence of confidential investigations.

<p>(a) The following system of records is exempted from subsections (c)(3) and (4); (d)(1), (2), (3), and (4); (e)(1), (2), (3), (5) and (8); and (g) of the Privacy Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j) and (k): CaseLink Document Database for Office of Special Counsel--Waco, JUSTICE/OSCW-001. These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in a record is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j) and (k).
</p>
<p>(b) Only that portion of this system which consists of criminal or civil investigatory information is exempted for the reasons set forth from the following subsections:
</p>
<p>(1) <i>Subsection (c)(3).</i> To provide the subject of a criminal or civil matter or case under investigation with an accounting of disclosures of records concerning him or her would inform that individual of the existence, nature, or scope of that investigation and thereby seriously impede law enforcement efforts by permitting the record subject and other persons to whom he might disclose the records to avoid criminal penalties and civil remedies.
</p>
<p>(2) <i>Subsection (c)(4).</i> This subsection is inapplicable to the extent that an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(3) <i>Subsection (d)(1).</i> Disclosure of investigatory information could interfere with the investigation, reveal the identity of confidential sources, and result in an unwarranted invasion of the privacy of others.
</p>
<p>(4) <i>Subsection (d)(2).</i> Amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing criminal law enforcement proceedings and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring criminal investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.
</p>
<p>(5) <i>Subsections (d)(3) and (4).</i> These subsections are inapplicable to the extent exemption is claimed from (d)(1) and (2).

<p>(6) <i>Subsections (e)(1) and (5).</i> It is often impossible to determine in advance if investigatory records contained in this system are accurate, relevant, timely and complete; but, in the interests of effective law enforcement, it is necessary to retain this information to aid in establishing patterns of activity and provide leads in criminal investigations.
</p>
<p>(7) <i>Subsection (e)(2).</i> To collect information from the subject individual would serve notice that he or she is the subject of criminal investigative or law enforcement activity and thereby present a serious impediment to law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(8) <i>Subsection (e)(3).</i> To inform individuals as required by this subsection would reveal the existence of an investigation and compromise law enforcement efforts.
</p>
<p>(9) <i>Subsection (e)(8).</i> To serve notice would give persons sufficient warning to evade law enforcement efforts.

</p>
<p>(b) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because making available to a record subject the accounting of disclosures from records concerning him/her would reveal investigative interest not only of ATF, but also of the recipient agency. This would permit the record subject to take measures to impede the investigation, e.g., destroy evidence, intimidate potential witnesses or flee the area to avoid the thrust of the investigation. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) because an exemption being claimed for subsection (d) makes this subsection inapplicable. 
</p>
<p>(3) From subsections (d)(1), (e)(4)(G) and (H), (f) and (g) because these provisions concern individual access to investigative records, compliance with which could compromise sensitive information, interfere with the overall law enforcement process by revealing a pending sensitive investigation, possibly identify a confidential source or disclose information, including actual or potential tax information, which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of another individual’s personal privacy, reveal a sensitive investigative technique, or constitute a potential danger to the health or safety of law enforcement personnel. 
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (d)(2) because, due to the nature of the information collected and the essential length of time it is maintained, to require ATF to amend information thought to be incorrect, irrelevant or untimely, would create an impossible administrative and investigative burden by forcing the agency to continuously retrograde its investigations attempting to resolve questions of accuracy, etc. 
</p>
<p>(5) From subsections (d)(3) and (4) because these subsections are inapplicable to the extent exemption is claimed from (d)(1) and (2). 
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(1) because: (i) It is not possible in all instances to determine relevancy or necessity of specific information in the early stages of a criminal or other investigation. 
</p>
<p>(ii) Relevance and necessity are questions of judgment and timing; what appears relevant and necessary when collected ultimately may be deemed unnecessary. It is only after the information is assessed that its relevancy and necessity in a specific investigative activity can be established. 
</p>
<p>(iii) In any investigation, ATF might obtain information concerning violations of law not under its jurisdiction, but in the interest of effective law enforcement, dissemination will be made to the agency charged with enforcing such law. 
</p>
<p>(iv) In interviewing individuals or obtaining other forms of evidence during an investigation, information could be obtained, the nature of which would leave in doubt its relevancy and necessity. Such information, however, could be relevant to another investigation or to an investigative activity under the jurisdiction of another agency. 
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(2) because the nature of criminal and other investigative activities is such that vital information about an individual can only be obtained from other persons who are familiar with such individual and his/her activities. In such investigations it is not feasible to rely upon information furnished by the individual concerning his own activities. 
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(3) because disclosure would provide the subject with substantial information that could impede or compromise the investigation. The individual could seriously interfere with undercover investigative activities and could take steps to evade the investigation or flee a specific area.

</p>
<p>(d) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because to provide the subject with an accounting of disclosures of records in this system could inform that individual of the existence, nature, or scope of an actual or potential law enforcement investigation, and thereby seriously impede law enforcement efforts by permitting the record subject and other persons to whom he might disclose the records to avoid criminal penalties, civil remedies, or other measures. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (d)(1) because disclosure of records in the system could reveal the identity of confidential sources and result in an unwarranted invasion of the privacy of others. Disclosure may also reveal information relating to actual or potential criminal investigations. Such breaches would restrict the free flow of information which is vital to the law enforcement process and the determination of an applicant’s qualifications. 
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d)(2) because, due to the nature of the information collected and the essential length of time it is maintained, to require ATF to amend information thought to be incorrect, irrelevant or untimely, would create an impossible administrative and investigative burden by forcing the agency to continuously retrograde its investigations attempting to resolve questions of accuracy, etc. 
</p>
<p>(4) From subsections (d)(3) and (4) because these subsections are inapplicable to the extent exemption is claimed from (d)(1) and (2). 
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(1) because it is often impossible to determine in advance if investigative records contained in this system are accurate, relevant, timely, complete, or of some assistance to either effective law enforcement investigations, or to the determination of the qualifications and suitability of an applicant. It also is necessary to retain this information to aid in establishing patterns of activity and provide investigative leads. Information that may appear irrelevant, when combined with other apparently irrelevant information, can on occasion provide a composite picture of a subject or an applicant which assists the law enforcement process and the determination of an applicant’s suitability qualifications. 
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(4)(G) and (H), and (f) because these provisions concern individual access to investigative records, compliance with which could compromise sensitive information, interfere with the overall law enforcement or qualification process by revealing a pending sensitive investigation, possibly identify a confidential source or disclose information which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of another individual’s personal privacy, reveal a sensitive investigative technique, or constitute a potential danger to the health or safety of law enforcement personnel. In addition, disclosure of information collected pursuant to an employment suitability or similar inquiry could reveal the identity of a source who provided information under an express promise of confidentiality, or could compromise the objectivity or fairness of a testing or examination process. 
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(4)(I) because the categories of sources of the records in these systems have been published in the <i>Federal Register</i> in broad generic terms in the belief that this is all that subsection (e)(4)(I) of the Act requires.

</p>
<p>(f) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because making available to a record subject the accounting of disclosures from records concerning him/her would reveal the existence, nature, or scope of an actual or potential personnel action. This would permit the record subject to take measures to hamper or impede such actions. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsections (d)(1), (e)(4)(G) and (H), and (f) because many persons are contacted who, without an assurance of anonymity, refuse to provide information concerning a candidate for a position with ATF. Access could reveal the identity of the source of the information and constitute a breach of the promise of confidentiality on the part of ATF. Such breaches ultimately would restrict the free flow of information vital to a determination of a candidate’s qualifications and suitability. 
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d)(2) because, due to the nature of the information collected and the essential length of time it is maintained, to require ATF to amend information thought to be incorrect, irrelevant or untimely, would create an impossible administrative and investigative burden by forcing the agency to continuously retrograde its investigations attempting to resolve questions of accuracy, etc. 
</p>
<p>(4) From subsections (d)(3) and (4) because these subsections are inapplicable to the extent exemption is claimed from (d)(1) and (2). 
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(1) because: 
</p>
<p>(i) It is not possible in all instances to determine relevancy or necessity of specific information in the early stages of a personnel-related action. 
</p>
<p>(ii) Relevance and necessity are questions of judgment and timing; what appears relevant and necessary when collected ultimately may be deemed unnecessary. It is only after the information is assessed that its relevancy and necessity in a specific investigative activity can be established. 
</p>
<p>(iii) ATF might obtain information concerning violations of law not under its jurisdiction, but in the interest of effective law enforcement, dissemination will be made to the agency charged with enforcing such law. 
</p>
<p>(iv) In interviewing individuals or obtaining other forms of evidence during an investigation, information could be obtained, the nature of which would leave in doubt its relevancy and necessity. Such information, however, could be relevant to another investigation or to an investigative activity under the jurisdiction of another agency. 
</p>

In the event, however, that this subsection should be interpreted to require more detail as to the identity of sources of the records in these systems, exemption from this provision is necessary in order to protect the confidentiality of the sources of criminal and other law enforcement information.

</p>
<p>(h) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons: 
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because making available to a record subject the accounting of disclosures from records concerning him/her would reveal investigative interest, whether civil, criminal or regulatory, not only of ATF, but also of the recipient agency. This would permit the record subject to take measures to impede the investigation, <i>e.g.,</i> destroy evidence, intimidate potential witnesses or flee the area to avoid the thrust of the investigation thus seriously hampering the regulatory and law enforcement functions of ATF. 
</p>
<p>(2) From subsections (d)(1), (e)(4)(G) and (H), and (f) because these provisions concern individual access to investigative and compliance records, disclosure of which could compromise sensitive information, interfere with the overall law enforcement and regulatory process by revealing a pending sensitive investigation, possibly identify a confidential source or disclose information, including actual or potential tax information, which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of another individual’s personal privacy, reveal a sensitive investigative technique, or constitute a potential danger to the health or safety of law enforcement personnel. 
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d)(2) because, due to the nature of the information collected and the essential length of time it is maintained, to require ATF to amend information thought to be incorrect, irrelevant or untimely, would create an impossible administrative and investigative burden by forcing the agency to continuously retrograde its investigations and compliance actions attempting to resolve questions of accuracy, etc.

<p>(i) It is not possible in all instances to determine relevancy or necessity of specific information in the early stages of a criminal, civil, regulatory, or other investigation. 
</p>
<p>(ii) Relevance and necessity are questions of judgment and timing; what appears relevant and necessary when collected ultimately may be deemed unnecessary. It is only after the information is assessed that its relevancy and necessity in a specific investigative or regulatory activity can be established. 
</p>
<p>(iii) In any investigation or compliance action ATF might obtain information concerning violations of law not under its jurisdiction, but in the interest of effective law enforcement, dissemination will be made to the agency charged with enforcing such law. 
</p>
<p>(iv) In interviewing individuals or obtaining other forms of evidence during an investigation, information could be obtained, the nature of which would leave in doubt its relevancy and necessity. Such information, however, could be relevant to another investigation or compliance action or to an investigative activity under the jurisdiction of another agency. 
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(4)(I) because the categories of sources of the records in these systems have been published in the <i>Federal Register</i> in broad generic terms in the belief that this is all that subsection (e)(4)(I) of the Act requires. In the event, however, that this subsection should be interpreted to require more detail as to the identity of sources of the records in these systems, exemption from this provision is necessary in order to protect the confidentiality of the sources of criminal, regulatory, and other law enforcement information. Such exemption is further necessary to protect the privacy and physical safety of witnesses and informants.

These exemptions apply only to the extent that information in the system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k)(2). Where compliance would not interfere with or adversely affect the law enforcement process, the DOJ may waive the exemptions, either partially or totally.
</p>
<p>(b) Exemption from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsections (c)(3), (c)(4), and (d) to the extent that access to records in this system of records may impede or interfere with law enforcement efforts, result in the disclosure of information that would constitute an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of collateral record subjects or other third parties, and/or jeopardize the health and/or safety of third parties.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (e)(1) to the extent that it is necessary to retain all information in order not to impede, compromise, or interfere with law enforcement efforts, e.g., where the significance of the information may not be readily determined and/or where such information may provide leads or assistance to Federal and other law enforcement agencies in discharging their law enforcement responsibilities.
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (e)(2) because, in some instances, the application of this provision would present a serious impediment to law enforcement since it may be necessary to obtain and verify information from a variety to sources other than the record subject to ensure safekeeping, security, and effective law enforcement. For example, it maybe necessary that medical and psychiatric personnel provide information regarding the subject’s behavior, physical. health, or mental stability, etc. to ensure proper care while in custody, or it may be necessary to obtain information from a case agent or the court to ensure proper disposition of the subject individual.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(3) because the requirement that agencies inform each individual whom it asks to supply information of such information as is required by subsection (e)(3) may, in some cases, impede the information gathering process or otherwise interfere with or compromise law enforcement efforts, e.g., the subject may deliberately withhold information, or give erroneous information.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (4)(G) and(H) because the application of these provisions would present a serious impediment to law enforcement efforts.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(5) because in the collection of information for law enforcement purposes it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance and the accuracy of such information can only be determined in a court of law. The restrictions imposed by subsection (e)(5) would restrict the ability to collect information for law enforcement purposes, may prevent the eventual development of the necessary criminal intelligence, or otherwise impede law enforcement or delay trained law enforcement personnel from timely exercising their judgment in managing the arrestee.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(8) to the extent that such notice may impede, interfere with, or otherwise compromise law enforcement and security efforts.

<p>(7) From subsection (e)(2) because collecting information from the subject individual could serve notice that he or she is the subject of a criminal law enforcement matter and thereby present a serious impediment to law enforcement efforts. Further, because of the nature of criminal law enforcement matters, vital information about an individual frequently can be obtained only from other persons who are familiar with the individual and his or her activities and it often is not practicable to rely on information provided directly by the individual.

Where compliance would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the law enforcement purposes of this system, or the overall law enforcement process, the applicable exemption may be waived by the DOJ in its sole discretion.
</p>
<p>(b) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3), the requirement that an accounting be made available to the named subject of a record, because certain records in this system are exempt from the access provisions of subsection (d). Also, because making available to a record subject the accounting of disclosures from records concerning him/her would specifically reveal any investigative interest in the individual. Revealing this information may thus compromise ongoing law enforcement efforts. Revealing this information may also permit the record subject to take measures to impede the investigation, such as destroying evidence, intimidating potential witnesses or fleeing the area to avoid the investigation.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) notification requirements because certain records in this system are exempt from the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d) as well as the access to accounting of disclosures provision of subsection (c)(3).
</p>
<p>(3) From subsections (d)(1), (2), (3), and (4) because access to the records contained in this system might compromise ongoing investigations, reveal confidential informants, or constitute unwarranted invasions of the personal privacy of third parties who are involved in a certain investigation. Amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing debt collection investigations or other law enforcement proceedings and impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (e)(1) because it is not always possible to know in advance what information is relevant and necessary for law enforcement purposes.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsection (e)(2) to avoid impeding law enforcement efforts associated with debt collection by putting the subject of an investigation on notice of that fact, thereby permitting the subject to engage in conduct intended to frustrate or impede that investigation.
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(3) to avoid impeding law enforcement efforts in conjunction with debt collection by putting the subject of an investigation on notice of that fact, thereby permitting the subject to engage in conduct intended to frustrate or impede that investigation.

</p>
<p>(b) These exemptions apply only to the extent that information is subject to exemption under 5 U.S.C. 552a(j) and/or (k).
</p>
<p>(c) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:
</p>
<p>(1) From subsection (c)(3) because to provide the subject with an accounting of disclosures of records in these systems could inform that individual of the existence, nature, or scope of an actual or potential law enforcement or counterintelligence investigation by the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces, the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Fusion Center, the International Organized Crime Intelligence and Operations Center, or the recipient agency, and could permit that individual to take measures to avoid detection or apprehension, to learn of the identity of witnesses and informants, or to destroy evidence, and would therefore present a serious impediment to law enforcement or counterintelligence efforts. In addition, disclosure of the accounting would amount to notice to the individual of the existence of a record. Moreover, release of an accounting may reveal information that is properly classified pursuant to Executive Order.
</p>
<p>(2) From subsection (c)(4) because this subsection is inapplicable to the extent that an exemption is being claimed for subsections (d)(1), (2), (3), and (4).
</p>
<p>(3) From subsection (d)(1) because disclosure of records in the system could alert the subject of an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory violation of the existence of that investigation, of the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to his or her activities, of the identity of confidential witnesses and informants, of the investigative interest of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces, the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Fusion Center, the International Organized Crime Intelligence and Operations Center, and other intelligence or law enforcement agencies (including those responsible for civil proceedings related to laws against drug trafficking or related financial crimes or international organized crime); could lead to the destruction of evidence, improper influencing of witnesses, fabrication of testimony, and/or flight of the subject; could reveal the details of a sensitive investigative or intelligence technique, or the identity of a confidential source; or could otherwise impede, compromise, or interfere with investigative efforts and other related law enforcement and/or intelligence activities. In addition, disclosure could invade the privacy of third parties and/or endanger the life, health, and physical safety of law enforcement personnel, confidential informants, witnesses, and potential crime victims. Access to records could also result in the release of information properly classified pursuant to Executive Order.
</p>
<p>(4) From subsection (d)(2) because amendment of the records thought to be inaccurate, irrelevant, incomplete, or untimely would also interfere with ongoing investigations, criminal or civil law enforcement proceedings, and other law enforcement activities; would impose an impossible administrative burden by requiring investigations, analyses, and reports to be continuously reinvestigated and revised; and may impact information properly classified pursuant to Executive Order.
</p>
<p>(5) From subsections (d)(3) and (4) because these subsections are inapplicable to the extent that exemption is claimed from subsections (d)(1) and (2) and for the reasons stated in &#167; 16.135(c)(3) and (c)(4).
</p>
<p>(6) From subsection (e)(1) because, in the course of their acquisition, collation, and analysis of information under the statutory authority granted, the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces, the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Fusion Center, and the International Organized Crime Intelligence and Operations Center will occasionally obtain information, including information properly classified pursuant to Executive Order, that concerns actual or potential violations of law that are not strictly within their statutory or other authority or may compile and maintain information which may not be relevant to a specific investigation or prosecution. This is because it is impossible to determine in advance what information collected during an investigation or in support of these mission activities will be important or crucial to an investigation. In the interests of effective law enforcement, it is necessary to retain such information in these systems of records because it can aid in establishing patterns of criminal activity of a suspect and can provide valuable leads for federal and other law enforcement agencies. This consideration applies equally to information acquired from, or collated or analyzed for, both law enforcement agencies and agencies of the U.S. foreign intelligence community and military community.
</p>
<p>(7) From subsection (e)(2) because in a criminal, civil, or regulatory investigation, prosecution, or proceeding, the requirement that information be collected to the greatest extent practicable from the subject individual would present a serious impediment to law enforcement because the subject of the investigation, prosecution, or proceeding would be placed on notice as to the existence and nature of the investigation, prosecution, or proceeding and would therefore be able to avoid detection or apprehension, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony. Moreover, thorough and effective investigation and prosecution may require seeking information from a number of different sources.
</p>
<p>(8) From subsection (e)(3) because to comply with the requirements of this subsection during the course of an investigation could impede the information-gathering process, thus hampering the investigation or intelligence gathering. Disclosure to an individual of investigative interest would put the subject on notice of that fact and allow the subject an opportunity to engage in conduct intended to impede that activity or avoid apprehension. Disclosure to other individuals would likewise put them on notice of what might still be a sensitive law enforcement interest and could result in the further intentional or accidental disclosure to the subject or other inappropriate recipients, convey information that might constitute unwarranted invasions of the personal privacy of other persons, unnecessarily burden law enforcement personnel in information-collection activities, and chill the willingness of witnesses to cooperate.
</p>
<p>(9) From subsections (e)(4)(G) and (H) because this system is exempt from the access and amendment provisions of subsection (d).
</p>
<p>(10) From subsection (e)(4)(I) to the extent that this subsection could be interpreted to require more detail regarding system record sources than has been published in the <i>Federal Register.</i> Should this subsection be so interpreted, exemption from this provision is necessary to protect the sources of law enforcement and intelligence information and to protect the privacy and safety of witnesses and informants and other information sources. Further, greater specificity could compromise other sensitive law enforcement information, techniques, and processes.
</p>
<p>(11) From subsection (e)(5) because the acquisition, collation, and analysis of information for law enforcement purposes from various agencies does not permit a determination in advance or a prediction of what information will be matched with other information and thus whether it is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance as further investigation brings new details to light, and the accuracy of such information can often only be determined in a court of law. The restrictions imposed by subsection (e)(5) would restrict the ability of trained investigators, intelligence analysts, and government attorneys to exercise their judgment in collating and analyzing information and would impede the development of criminal or other intelligence necessary for effective law enforcement.
</p>
<p>(12) From subsection (e)(8) because the individual notice requirements could present a serious impediment to law enforcement by revealing investigative techniques, procedures, evidence, or interest, and by interfering with the ability to issue warrants or subpoenas; could give persons sufficient warning to evade investigative efforts; and would pose an unacceptable administrative burden on the maintenance of these records and the conduct of the underlying investigations.
</p>

<p>&#167; 513.30 
 Purpose and scope. 
</p>
<p>This subpart establishes procedures for the release of requested records in possession of the Federal Bureau of Prisons (“Bureau”). It is intended to implement provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552, and the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and to supplement Department of Justice (DOJ) regulations concerning the production or disclosure of records or information, 28 CFR part 16. 

</p>
<p>&#167; 513.31 
 Limitations. 
</p>
<p>(a) <i>Social Security Numbers.</i> As of September 27, 1975, Social Security Numbers may not be used in their entirety as a method of identification for any Bureau record system, unless such use is authorized by statute or by regulation adopted prior to January 1, 1975. 
</p>
<p>(b) <i>Employee records.</i> Access and amendment of employee personnel records under the Privacy Act are governed by Office of Personnel Management regulations published in 5 CFR part 297 and by Department of Justice regulations published in 28 CFR part 16.

</p>
<p>&#167; 513.33 
 Production of records in court. 
</p>
<p>Bureau records are often sought by subpoena, court order, or other court demand, in connection with court proceedings. The Attorney General has directed that these records may not be produced in court without the approval of the Attorney General or his or her designee. The guidelines are set forth in 28 CFR part 16, subpart B. 

</p>
<p>&#167; 513.34 
 Protection of individual privacy--disclosure of records to third parties. 
</p>
<p>(a) Information that concerns an individual and is contained in a system of records maintained by the Bureau shall not be disclosed to any person, or to another agency except under the provisions of the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552, and Departmental regulations. 
</p>
<p>(b) Lists of Bureau inmates shall not be disclosed.

 Government contractors. 
</p>
<p>(a) No Bureau component may contract for the operation of a record system by or on behalf of the Bureau without the express written approval of the Director or the Director’s designee. 
</p>
<p>(b) Any contract which is approved shall contain the standard contract requirements promulgated by the General Services Administration (GSA) to ensure compliance with the requirements imposed by the Privacy Act. The contracting component shall have the responsibility to ensure that the contractor complies with the contract requirements relating to privacy. 
</p><p><i>Inmate Requests to Institution for Information 

</i></p>
<p>&#167; 513.40 
 Inmate access to Inmate Central File. 
</p>
<p>Inmates are encouraged to use the simple access procedures described in this section to review disclosable records maintained in his or her Inmate Central File, rather than the FOIA procedures described in &#167;&#167; 513.60 through 513.68 of this subpart. Disclosable records in the Inmate Central File include, but are not limited to, documents relating to the inmate’s sentence, detainer, participation in Bureau programs such as the Inmate Financial Responsibility Program, classification data, parole information, mail, visits, property, conduct, work, release processing, and general correspondence. This information is available without filing a FOIA request. If any information is withheld from the inmate, staff will provide the inmate with a general description of that information and also will notify the inmate that he or she may file a FOIA request. 
</p>
<p>(a) <i>Inmate review of his or her Inmate Central File.</i> An inmate may at any time request to review all disclosable portions of his or her Inmate Central File by submitting a request to a staff member designated by the Warden. Staff are to acknowledge the request and schedule the inmate, as promptly as is practical, for a review of the file at a time which will not disrupt institution operations. 
</p>
<p>(b) <i>Procedures for inmate review of his or her Inmate Central File.</i> (1) Prior to the inmate’s review of the file, staff are to remove the Privacy Folder which contains documents withheld from disclosure pursuant to &#167; 513.32. 
</p>
<p>(2) During the file review, the inmate is to be under direct and constant supervision by staff. The staff member monitoring the review shall enter the date of the inmate’s file review on the Inmate Activity Record and initial the entry. Staff shall ask the inmate to initial the entry also, and if the inmate refuses to do so, shall enter a notation to that effect. 
</p>
<p>(3) Staff shall advise the inmate if there are documents withheld from disclosure and, if so, shall advise the inmate of the inmate’s right under the provisions of &#167; 513.61 to make a FOIA request for the withheld documents. 

</p>
<p>&#167; 513.41 
 Inmate access to Inmate Central File in connection with parole hearings. 
</p>
<p>A parole-eligible inmate (an inmate who is currently serving a sentence for an offense committed prior to November 1, 1987) may review disclosable portions of the Inmate Central File prior to the inmate’s parole hearing, under the general procedures set forth in &#167; 513.40. In addition, the following guidelines apply: 
</p>
<p>(a) A parole-eligible inmate may request to review his or her Inmate Central File by submitting the appropriate Parole Commission form. This form ordinarily shall be available to each eligible inmate within five work days after a list of eligible inmates is prepared. 
</p>
<p>(b) Bureau staff ordinarily shall schedule an eligible inmate for a requested Inmate Central File review within seven work days of the request after the inmate has been scheduled for a parole hearing. A reasonable extension of time is permitted for documents which have been provided (prior to the inmate’s request) to originating agencies for clearance, or which are otherwise not available at the institution. 
</p>
<p>(c) A report received from another agency which is determined to be nondisclosable (see &#167; 513.40(b)) will be summarized by that agency, in accordance with Parole Commission regulations. Bureau staff shall place the summary in the appropriate disclosable section of the Inmate Central File. The original report (or portion which is summarized in another document) will be placed in the portion of the Privacy File for Joint Use by the Bureau and the Parole Commission. 
</p>
<p>(d) Bureau documents which are determined to be nondisclosable to the inmate will be summarized for the inmate’s review. A copy of the summary will be placed in the disclosable section of the Inmate Central File. The document from which the summary is taken will be placed in the Joint Use Section of the Privacy Folder. Nondisclosable documents not summarized for the inmate’s review are not available to the Parole Commission and are placed in a nondisclosable section of the Inmate Central File. 
</p>
<p>(e) When no response regarding disclosure has been received from an originating agency in time for inmate review prior to the parole hearing, Bureau staff are to inform the Parole Commission Hearing Examiner. 

</p>
<p>&#167; 513.42 
 Inmate access to medical records. 
</p>
<p>(a) Except for the limitations of paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section, an inmate may review records from his or her medical file (including dental records) by submitting a request to a staff member designated by the Warden. 
</p>
<p>(b) Laboratory reports which contain only scientific testing results and which contain no staff evaluation or opinion (such as Standard Form 514A, Urinalysis) are ordinarily disclosable. Lab results of HIV testing may be reviewed by the inmate. However, an inmate may not retain a copy of his or her test results while the inmate is confined in a Bureau facility or a Community Corrections Center. A copy of an inmate’s HIV test results may be forwarded to a third party outside the institution and chosen by the inmate, provided that the inmate gives written authorization for the disclosure. 
</p>
<p>(c) Medical records containing subjective evaluations and opinions of medical staff relating to the inmate’s care and treatment will be provided to the inmate only after the staff review required by paragraph (d) of this section. These records include, but are not limited to, outpatient notes, consultation reports, narrative summaries or reports by a specialist, operative reports by the physician, summaries by specialists as the result of laboratory analysis, or in-patient progress reports. 
</p>
<p>(d) Prior to release to the inmate, records described in paragraph (c) of this section shall be reviewed by staff to determine if the release of this information would present a harm to either the inmate or other individuals. Any records determined not to present a harm will be released to the inmate at the conclusion of the review by staff. If any records are determined by staff not to be releasable based upon the presence of harm, the inmate will be so advised in writing and provided the address of the agency component to which the inmate may address a formal request for the withheld records. An accounting of any medical records will be maintained in the inmate’s medical file. 

</p>
<p>&#167; 513.43
 Inmate access to certain Bureau Program Statements. 
</p>
<p>Inmates are encouraged to use the simple local access procedures described in this section to review certain Bureau Program Statements, rather than the FOIA procedures described in &#167;&#167; 513.60 through 513.68 of this subpart. 
</p>
<p>(a) For a current Bureau Program Statement containing rules (regulations published in the <i>Federal Register</i> and codified in 28 CFR), local access is available through the institution law library. 
</p>
<p>(b) For a current Bureau Program Statement not containing rules (regulations published in the <i>Federal Register</i> and codified in 28 CFR), inmates may request that it be placed in the institution law library. Placement of a requested Program Statement in the law library is within the discretion of the Warden, based upon local institution conditions. 
</p>
<p>(c) Inmates are responsible for the costs of making personal copies of any Program Statements maintained in the institution law library. For copies of Program Statements obtained under the FOIA procedures described in &#167;&#167; 513.60 through 513.68 of this subpart, fees will be calculated in accordance with 28 CFR 16.10. 

</p>
<p>&#167; 513.44
 Fees for copies of Inmate Central File and Medical Records. 
</p>
<p>Within a reasonable time after a request, Bureau staff are to provide an inmate personal copies of requested disclosable documents maintained in the Inmate Central File and Medical Record. Fees for the copies are to be calculated in accordance with 28 CFR 16.10. 
</p><p><i>Privacy Act Requests for Information 

</i></p>
<p>&#167; 513.50
 Privacy Act requests by inmates. 
</p>
<p>Because inmate records are exempt from disclosure under the Privacy Act (see 28 CFR 16.97), inmate requests for records under the Privacy Act will be processed in accordance with the FOIA. See &#167;&#167; 513.61 through 513.68. 
</p><p><i>Freedom of Information Act Requests for Information 

</i></p>
<p>&#167; 513.60

Staff shall process such a request pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552. 
</p>
<p>(c) The inmate requester shall clearly mark on the face of the letter and on the envelope “FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT REQUEST”, and shall clearly describe the records sought, including the approximate dates covered by the record.

</p>
<p>&#167; 513.62 
 Freedom of Information Act requests by former inmates. 
</p>

This authorization must be dated within three (3) months of the date of the request letter. Identification data, as listed in 28 CFR 16.41, must be provided. 

</p>
<p>&#167; 513.64 
 Acknowledgment of Freedom of Information Act requests. 
</p>
<p>(a) All requests for records under the Freedom of Information Act received by the FOI/PA Administrator, Office of General Counsel, will be reviewed and may be forwarded to the appropriate Regional Office for proper handling.

<p>If a document is deemed to contain information exempt from disclosure, any reasonably segregable portion of the record shall be provided to the requester after deletion of the exempt portions. If documents, or portions of documents, in an Inmate Central File have been determined to be nondisclosable by institution staff but are later released by Regional or Central Office staff pursuant to a request under this section, appropriate instructions will be given to the institution to move those documents, or portions, from the Inmate Privacy Folder into the disclosable section of the Inmate Central File. 

</p>
<p>&#167; 513.66 
 Denials and appeals of Freedom of Information Act requests. 
</p>
<p>If a request made pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act is denied in whole or in part, a denial letter must be issued and signed by the Director or his or her designee, and shall state the basis for denial under &#167; 513.32.
