DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

[CPCLO Order No. 002-2011]


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice.

ACTION: Notice to remove one system of records and modify another 
system of records.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) proposes to delete 
``FBI Automated Payroll Records, Justice/FBI-007,'' published at 58 FR 
51874 (Oct. 5, 1993), from its existing inventory because this system 
of records has been made obsolete by virtue of an amendment to the 
``Department of Justice Payroll System, Justice/JMD-003,'' published at 
72 FR 51663 (Sept. 10, 2007), which added FBI employees to this DOJ 
system.
    The FBI also is modifying another system notice, the ``Time 
Utilization Recordkeeping System (TURK), Justice/FBI-012,'' last 
published in full at 58 FR 51876 (Oct. 5, 1993), and revised to 
incorporate the FBI Blanket Routine Uses (the FBI ``Blanket Routine 
Uses'' notice was originally published at 66 FR 33558 (June 22, 2001), 
and was updated at 70 FR 7513 (Feb. 14, 2005) and 72 FR 3410 (Jan. 25, 
2007)). TURK is the method by which the FBI tracks the workload of its 
employees and certain individuals under its supervision, such as task 
force officers. The data, which reflects work hours, direct agent work 
years, direct support work years, and average on board figures, is 
assigned to an investigative classification according to the nature of 
the case for which the work was performed. Tracking workload assists 
the FBI in ascertaining resource use and identifying trends. In 
addition, the information gained from TURK is used to formulate budget 
requests and provide reports to FBI oversight authorities. Workload 
measurement is particularly useful in the FBI because many Special 
Agents routinely work more than one program and TURK allows for a more 
accurate picture of work performed by case classification.
    The FBI is modifying all sections of this notice, and is also 
reiterating the incorporation of the FBI BRUs expressly as part of this 
system notice because the entire notice is being republished. While the 
FBI BRUs provide necessary flexibility in disseminating records from 
the system, FBI notes that in most instances when TURK data is shared 
outside the Bureau, the data does not include personal identifiers. 
This notice replaces the previously published notice for TURK.

DATES: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11), the public is 
given a 30-day period in which to comment. Therefore, please submit any 
comments by November 21, 2011.

ADDRESSES: The public, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and 
Congress are invited to submit any comments to the Department of 
Justice, ATTN: Privacy Analyst, Office of Privacy and Civil Liberties, 
Department of Justice, National Place Building, 1331 Pennsylvania 
Avenue, NW., Suite 1070, Washington, DC 20530-0001, or by facsimile at 
202-307-0693.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Withnell, Supervisory 
Attorney-Advisor, Privacy and Civil Liberties Unit, Office of the 
General Counsel, Federal Bureau of Investigation, 935 Pennsylvania 
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20535-0001.
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), the Department has provided a 
report to OMB and the Congress on the modification of the system of 
records.

    Dated: September 9, 2011.
Nancy C. Libin,
Chief Privacy and Civil Liberties Officer, United States Department of 
Justice.
