DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

[AAG/A Order No. 001-2005]


Privacy Act of 1974; Systems of Records

AGENCY: Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), and 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-130, notice is 
hereby given that the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of 
Investigation (FBI), is modifying the following systems of records:
    Bureau Mailing Lists, Justice/FBI-003 (previously published on June 
22, 2001 at 66 FR 33560);
    Electronic Surveillance (ELSUR) Indices, Justice/FBI-006 
(previously published on June 22, 2001 at 66 FR 33560);
    Security Access Control System (SACS), Justice/FBI-013 (previously 
published on October 3, 1993 at 58 FR 51877); and
    Blanket Routine Uses (BRU) Applicable to More Than One FBI Privacy 
Act System of Records, Justice/FBI-BRU (previously published on June 
22, 2001 at 66 FR 33558).
    Opportunity for Comment: The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and 
(11)) requires that the public be given 30 days in which to comment on 
any new or amended uses of information in a system of records. In 
addition, in accordance with Privacy Act requirements (5 U.S.C. 
552a(r)), the Department of Justice has provided a report on these 
modifications to OMB and the Congress. OMB, which has oversight 
responsibilities under the Act, requires that OMB and the Congress be 
given 40 days in which to review major changes to Privacy Act systems. 
Therefore, the public, OMB, and the Congress are invited to submit 
written comments on this modification.
    Address Comments or Requests for Further Information to: Mary E. 
Cahill, Management Analyst, Management and Planning Staff, Justice 
Management Division, Department of Justice, 1400 National Place, 
Washington, DC 20530.

DATES: These proposed changes will be effective March 28, 2005, unless 
comments are received that result in a contrary determination.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FBI is modifying the Bureau Mailing 
Lists, ELSUR, and SACS system of records notices and the BRU notice to 
clarify and update them. The Bureau Mailing Lists system notice is 
being modified to clarify the categories of individuals covered by the 
system and the categories of records in the system.
    The SACS notice is being modified to expand the system location, to 
clarify the categories of individuals covered by the system and the 
categories of records in the system, to explain the routine uses that 
apply to this system, and to revise the policies and practices for 
storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining and disposing of records in 
the system.
    The FBI has also made minor amendments to correct typographical 
errors in both notices. Additionally, further explanation in the 
``Purpose'' section has also been made to both notices.
    The ELSUR system notice is being revised to expand the categories 
of individuals covered by the system to include the names of the judge 
and the prosecuting attorney in the application and the Department of 
Justice official who reviewed the affidavit and approved the filing of 
the application with the court.
    The BRU notice is being revised to add five routine uses which, 
like the other blanket routine uses, will apply to all systems of 
records (with the exception of the National DNA Index System and the 
National Instant Criminal Background Check System). These routine uses 
permit disclosures to the White House and to complainants/victims, and 
disclosures involving hiring, clearances, or licensing, and have been 
published by the Department of Justice for some of its other systems.
    The Bureau Mailing Lists, SACS and ELSUR systems are being 
republished to reflect these changes. A description of the modification 
to the three systems of records is attached.

    Dated: February 4, 2005.
Paul R. Corts,
Assistant Attorney General for Administration.
JUSTICE/FBI-003

SYSTEM NAME:
    Bureau Mailing Lists.

SYSTEM LOCATION:
    Records may be maintained at all locations at which the Federal 
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) operates, including: J. Edgar Hoover FBI 
Bldg., 935 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20535; FBI Academy 
and FBI Laboratory, Quantico, VA 22135; FBI Criminal Justice 
Information Services (CJIS) Division, 1000 Custer Hollow Rd., 
Clarksburg, WV 26306; and FBI field offices, legal attaches, and 
information technology centers as listed on the FBI's Internet Web 
site, http://www.fbi.gov,

[[Page 7514]]

including any future revisions to the Web site.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
    All persons appearing on manual or electronic rolodexes, e-mail 
address groups, electronic merge files, address books, or other mailing 
lists maintained in any medium throughout the FBI to facilitate 
mailings, electronic disseminations, or other communications to one or 
more recipients in furtherance of FBI activities. These include persons 
who have requested Bureau material, persons who are routinely forwarded 
unsolicited Bureau material and who meet established criteria 
(generally law enforcement or closely related interests), and persons 
who may be in a position to furnish assistance in furtherance of the 
FBI's mission. These do not include persons on mailing lists not 
encompassed within this system as described in the section titled 
``Categories of Records in the System.''

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
    Records may include names, addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail or 
internet addresses, business affiliation, and supplemental information 
related to addressees and relevant to a list's purpose. These do not, 
however, include mailing lists which have been incorporated into some 
other FBI records system, such as a mailing list supporting a 
particular investigation maintained as an investigative record within 
the FBI's Central Records System.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
    Title 5, United States Code, section 301; title 44, United States 
Code, section 3101; title 28, United States Code, section 533; and 
title 28, Code of Federal Regulations, section 0.85.

PURPOSE(S):
    System records are used for disseminating FBI material to one or 
more addressees, via hard copy, e-mail, or other means of distribution, 
in furtherance of FBI activities. For example, various fugitive alerts 
are furnished to local law enforcement agencies, investigation 
periodicals are provided to law enforcement professionals, and 
information on local law enforcement issues may be provided to 
community leaders.

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES 
OF USERS AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
    The FBI may disclose relevant system records in accordance with any 
current or future blanket routine uses established for FBI records 
systems. See Blanket Routine Uses (BRU) Applicable to More Than One FBI 
Privacy Act System of Records, Justice/FBI-BRU, published on June 22, 
2001 at 66 Fed. Reg. 33558 and amended in today's Federal Register (and 
any future revisions).
    In addition, as a routine use 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.)
    To a federal, state, local, joint, tribal, foreign, international, 
or other public agency/organization, where such disclosure serves law 
enforcement interests. By way of example and not limitation, such 
disclosures may for instance include: Sharing names of law enforcement 
professionals receiving FBI periodicals with law enforcement agencies 
interested in reaching a similar audience; sharing information of 
intelligence value with other law enforcement or intelligence agencies 
to whose lawful responsibilities the information may be germane; or 
sharing information pertinent to victim/witness assistance with local 
government entities in furtherance of such assistance.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, 
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
    Most information is maintained in computerized form and stored in 
memory, on disk storage, on computer tape, or other computer media. 
However, some information may also be maintained in hard copy (paper) 
or other form.

RETRIEVABILITY:
    Information typically will be retrieved by an ID number assigned by 
computer or by name of person or organization.

SAFEGUARDS:
    System records are maintained in limited access space in FBI 
facilities and offices. Computerized data is password protected. All 
FBI personnel are required to pass an extensive background 
investigation. The information is accessed only by authorized DOJ 
personnel or by non-DOJ personnel properly authorized to assist in the 
conduct of an agency function related to these records.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
    FBI offices revise the lists as necessary. The records are 
destroyed, under authority granted by the National Archives and Records 
Administration, when administrative needs are satisfied.

SYSTEM MANAGER(S) AND ADDRESS:
    Director, FBI, 935 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20535-
0001.

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES:
    Same as Record Access Procedures.

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
    A request for access to a record from the system shall be made in 
writing with the envelope and the letter clearly marked ``Privacy Act 
Request''. Include in the request your full name and complete address. 
The requester must sign the request; and, to verify it, the signature 
must be notarized or submitted under 28 U.S.C. 1746, a law that permits 
statements to be made under penalty of perjury as a substitute for 
notarization. You may submit any other identifying data you wish to 
furnish to assist in making a proper search of the system. Requests for 
access to information maintained at FBI Headquarters must be addressed 
to the Record/Information Dissemination Section, Federal Bureau of 
Investigation, 935 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20535-0001. 
Requests for information maintained at FBI field offices, legal 
attaches, information technology centers, or other locations must be 
made separately and addressed to the specific field office, legal 
attache, information technology center, or other location as listed on 
the FBI's Internet Web site, http://www.fbi.gov, including any future 
revisions to the Web site.

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:
    Individuals desiring to contest or amend information maintained in 
the system should also direct their request to the appropriate FBI 
office, stating clearly and concisely what information is being 
contested, the reasons for contesting it, and the proposed amendment to 
the information sought.

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES:
    The mailing list information is based on information supplied by 
affected individuals/organizations, public source data, and/or 
information already in other FBI records systems.

EXEMPTIONS CLAIMED FOR THE SYSTEM:
    None.
JUSTICE/FBI-006

SYSTEM NAME:
    Electronic Surveillance (ELSUR) Indices.

[[Page 7515]]

SYSTEM LOCATION:
    Records may be maintained at all locations at which the Federal 
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) operates, including: J. Edgar Hoover FBI 
Bldg., 935 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20535; FBI Academy 
and FBI Laboratory, Quantico, VA 22135; FBI Criminal Justice 
Information Services (CJIS) Division, 1000 Custer Hollow Rd., 
Clarksburg, WV 26306; FBI field offices, legal attaches, and 
information technology centers as listed on the FBI's Internet Web 
site, http://www.fbi.gov, including any future revisions to the Web 
site.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
    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.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
    The ELSUR Indices are comprised of four types of records:
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
    The ELSUR Indices were initiated in October, 1966, at the 
recommendation of the Department of Justice and relate to electronic 
surveillance sought, administered, and/or conducted by the FBI since 
January 1, 1960. The authority for the maintenance of these records is 
title 5, United States Code, section 301; title 44, United States Code, 
section 3101; title 18, United States Code, section 2510, et seq.; 
title 18, United States Code, section 3504; title 28, United States 
Code, section 533; title 50, United States Code 1801, et seq.; and 
title 28, Code of Federal Regulations, section 0.85.

PURPOSE(S):
    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.

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES 
OF USERS AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
    The FBI may disclose relevant system records in accordance with any 
current and future blanket routine uses established for FBI records 
systems. See Blanket Routine Uses (BRU) Applicable to More Than One FBI 
Privacy Act System of Records, Justice/FBI-BRU, published on June 22, 
2001 at 66 FR 33558 and amended in today's Federal Register (and any 
future revisions).
    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.)
    A. To the judiciary in response to inquiries about possible 
electronic surveillance coverage of any individual or entity.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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

[[Page 7516]]

of information is deemed by the FBI to be reasonable and relevant to 
the protection of life, health, or property of such target.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, 
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
    The majority of the records are maintained in an automated data 
base. Some records are maintained in hard-copy (paper) format or other 
form.

RETRIEVABILITY:
    Information typically will be retrieved by the name of the 
individual or entity. Telephone numbers and other such serial or 
identification numbers are retrievable numerically. Locations targeted 
are retrievable by street name.

SAFEGUARDS:
    System records are maintained in limited access space in FBI 
facilities and offices. Computerized data is password protected. All 
FBI personnel are required to pass an extensive background 
investigation. The information is accessed only by authorized DOJ 
personnel or by non-DOJ personnel properly authorized to assist in the 
conduct of an agency function related to these records.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
    A reference record is purged if the individual is later identified 
by a more complete name and converted to an intercept record. Remaining 
reference records are purged from the system as follows. Those relating 
to court ordered electronic surveillance are purged six months from the 
date the corresponding authorization for the surveillance expires. 
Reference records relating to consensual intercepts are purged one year 
from the last intercept date shown on the record. Until advised to the 
contrary by the Department of Justice, the courts, or applicable 
legislation, all other indices records will be maintained indefinitely 
and have been declared permanent by the National Archives and Records 
Administration (NARA) (Job No. NC1-65-82-4, Part E, item 2(t)).

SYSTEM MANAGER(S) AND ADDRESS:
    Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation, 935 Pennsylvania Avenue, 
NW., Washington, DC 20535.

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE:
    Same as Record Access Procedures.

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
    A request for notification as to whether a record about an 
individual exists in the system and/or for access to a record from the 
system shall be made in writing with the envelope and the letter 
clearly marked ``Privacy Act Request.'' Include in the request your 
full name and complete address. The requester must sign the request; 
and, to verify it, the signature must be notarized or submitted under 
28 U.S.C. 1746, a law that permits statements to be made under penalty 
of perjury as a substitute for notarization. You may submit any other 
identifying data you wish to furnish to assist in making a proper 
search of the system. Requests for access to information maintained at 
FBI Headquarters must be addressed to the Record/Information 
Dissemination Section, Federal Bureau of Investigation, 935

the specific field office, information technology center, or other 
location as listed on the FBI's Internet Web site, http://www.fbi.gov, 
including any future revisions to the Web site.
    Some information may be exempt from notification and/or access 
procedures as described in the section titled ``Exemptions Claimed for 
the System.'' An individual who is the subject of one or more records 
in this system may be notified of records that are not exempt from 
notification and may access those records that are not exempt from 
disclosure. A determination on notification and access will be made at 
the time a request is received.

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:
    If you desire to contest or amend information maintained in the 
system, you should also direct your request to the appropriate FBI 
office, stating clearly and concisely what information is being 
contested, the reasons for contesting it, and the proposed amendment to 
the information sought.
    Some information may be exempt from contesting record procedures as 
described in the section titled ``Exemptions Claimed for the System.'' 
An individual who is the subject of one or more records in this system 
may contest and pursue amendment of those records that are not exempt. 
A determination whether a record may be subject to amendment will be 
made at the time a request is received.

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES:
    Information in the indices is derived from electronic surveillance, 
public source information, and other FBI record systems.

EXEMPTIONS CLAIMED FOR THE SYSTEM:
    The Attorney General has exempted this system from subsections 
(c)(3) and (4), (d), (e)(1), (2) and (3), (e)(4)(G) and(H), (e)(5) and 
(8), (f), (g) and (m) of the Privacy Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j).
