FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. John F. Hackett, Director, 
Information Management Office, 703-482-3610.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NCTC was established by Executive Order (EO) 
13354 (Aug. 27, 2004) and codified as an element of the ODNI in the 
Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA) of 2004.
    NCTC serves as the primary organization in the United States 
Government for integrating and analyzing all intelligence pertaining to 
terrorism possessed or acquired by the United States Government (except 
purely domestic terrorism); conducts strategic operational planning and 
assigns lead operational responsibilities for counterterrorism 
activities; serves as the central and shared knowledge bank on known 
and suspected terrorists and international terror groups; provides all-
source intelligence support to government-wide counterterrorism 
activities; ensures that agencies, as appropriate, have access to and 
receive intelligence needed to accomplish their assigned activities; 
and ensures that agencies have access to and receive all-source 
intelligence support needed to execute their counterterrorism plans or 
perform independent, alternative analysis. The Director of NCTC serves 
as the principal adviser to the Director of National Intelligence 
(DNI)on intelligence operations relating to counterterrorism. The NCTC 
Director advises the DNI on how well United States Government 
counterterrorism program recommendations and budget proposals conform 
to priorities established by the President; sets priorities for 
counterterrorism collection and analysis; and develops integrated 
collection strategies to fill key information gaps. The DNI has 
designated the Director, NCTC, as Mission Manager for Counterterrorism.
    NCTC's partner organizations include, but are not limited to: 
Central Intelligence Agency; Department of Defense; Department of 
Homeland Security; Department of Justice/Federal Bureau of 
Investigation; Department of State; Department of Energy; Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission; United States Capitol Police; Department of 
Treasury; Department of Agriculture; Department of Health and Human 
Services.
    Several of the systems of records being published contain 
information about known or suspected terrorists that derive from law 
enforcement and intelligence sources. In addition, information from 
several of these systems is provided to agencies for the purpose of 
conducting intelligence and law enforcement activities within the scope 
of their lawful counter-terrorism responsibilities and authorities. 
Accordingly, to protect classified and sensitive information and to 
prevent the compromise of ongoing counterterrorism investigations and 
intelligence sources and methods, the DNI is proposing to exempt 
records in these systems from certain portions of the Privacy Act and 
to continue to exempt from certain portions of the Privacy Act those 
records for which the source agency claimed exemption. As required by 
the Privacy Act, a proposed rule is being published concurrently with 
this notice to seek public comment on the proposal to exempt these 
systems.
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), the ODNI has provided a report 
of these new systems of records to the Office of Management and Budget 
and to Congress.

Director, Information Management Office.
