[AAG/A Order No. 237-2001]


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

    Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 
552a), notice is hereby given that the Executive Office for Immigration 
Review (EOIR), Department of Justice, proposes modifying ``Records and 
Management Information System (JUSTICE/EOIR-001),'' last published 
October 10, 1995 (60 FR 52690, 52695), to add two new routine use 
provisions.
    The first routine use allows contractors and others working on 
behalf of EOIR to have access to the information in the records to 
properly assist in the completion of EOIR functions. The second routine 
use allows disclosure to former employees for purposes of responding to 
official inquiries by government entities or professional licensing 
authorities in accordance with the Department of Justice's regulation 
governing access under such circumstances, 28 CFR 16.300-01. This 
routine use also allows disclosure to former employees where the 
Department requires information and/or consultation assistance from the 
former employee that is necessary for personnel-related or other 
official purposes.
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11), the public is 
given a 30-day period in which to comment on the system of records. The 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which has oversight 
responsibility under the Act, requires a 40-day period in which to 
conclude its review of the system. Therefore, please submit any 
comments by August 6, 2001. The public, OMB and the Congress are 
invited to submit any comments to Mary Cahill, Management Analyst, 
Management and Planning Staff, Justice Management Division, Department 
of Justice, Washington, DC 20530 (Room 1400, National Place Building).
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) the Department has provided a 
report to OMB and the Congress.

    Dated: June 22, 2001.

Acting Assistant Attorney General for Administration.
