Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Federal Bureau of Prisons, Department of Justice.

ACTION: Notice of Modification of a System of Records.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), notice is 
given that the Federal Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes to modify in 
part its system of records entitled ``Inmate Electronic Message Record 
System, JUSTICE/BOP-013,'' last published in the Federal Register, 70 
FR 69594 (Nov. 16, 2005), with a revision to the routine uses 72 FR 
3410 (Jan. 25, 2007).
    The Bureau is making the following modifications to the system 
notice: the ``System Location'' section--the Bureau deletes language 
relating to the pilot programs as they will be converted to normal 
programs in the near future. The Bureau also clarifies that records may 
be retained at any authorized location in addition to Bureau facilities 
and authorized contractor sites. In the ``Category of Records'' 
section, the Bureau clarifies that the system collects personal 
identification information of the message recipient, including postal 
address, as input by the inmate correspondent. This modification is 
necessary to accurately reflect the collection and use of information 
in this system. Also, in the ``Category of Records'' section, the 
Bureau clarifies that ``investigatory data'' can include background 
checks of correspondents or any other relevant information collected 
during an investigation by the Bureau or other law enforcement agency. 
Once more, this modification is necessary to accurately reflect the 
collection and use of information in this system. Finally, the Bureau 
adds the ``Security Classification'' section to the notice.

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 January 20, 2012.
