DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

[AAG/A Order No. 018-2003]


Privacy Act of 1974; Notice of the Removal of a System of Records

    Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 
552a), the Personnel Staff, Justice Management Division (JMD), 
Department of Justice, is removing a published Privacy Act system of 
records entitled ``Background Investigation Check-off Card, Justice/
JMD-001.'' Justice/JMD-001 was last published in the Federal Register 
on October 13, 1989 (54 FR 42085).
    In the past, the Personnel Staff, JMD, had a system of maintaining 
an index card for each employee of the Offices, Boards, and Divisions 
for whom the U.S. Office of Personnel Management conducted background 
investigations. The index card was used to annotate and monitor the 
progress of the name and fingerprint checks and the full-field 
character investigations of employees. When a full-field background 
investigation or National Agency Check was initiated, the background 
investigation check-off card was forwarded to the JMD Security Staff 
where it was ultimately merged in the system of records entitled 
``Security Clearance Information System, Justice/JMD-008.''
    The Personnel Staff has not used this system for approximately 
fourteen (14) years. The Personnel Staff eliminated the background 
investigation check off card and information on the cards was 
destroyed. In addition, recently, the Privacy Act notice for ``Security 
Clearance Information System, JMD-008'', was replaced by notice of a 
new Departmentwide system of records for background investigation 
records, entitled ``Personnel Investigation and Security Clearance 
Records for the Department of Justice, DOJ-006'', published September 
24, 2002 (67 FR 59864).
    Therefore, the ``Background Investigation Check-off Card, JMD-
001'', is removed from the Department's compilation of Privacy Act 
systems of records.

    Dated: August 27, 2003.
Paul R. Corts,
Assistant Attorney General for Administration.
