Criminal Division, a component within the United States Department of 
Justice (DOJ or Department), has established a new system of records

to manage gambling device registration forms in accordance with the 
Gambling Devices Act of 1962.

DATES: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11), this notice is 
effective upon publication, subject to a 30-day period in which to 
comment on the routine uses, as described below. Please submit any

comments by mail to the United States Department of Justice, Office of 
Privacy and Civil Liberties, ATTN: Privacy Analyst, National Place 
Building, 1331 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 1000, Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gambling Devices Act of 1962, 15 U.S.C. 
1171-1178, requires any person or entity engaged in activities 
involving gambling devices, their subassemblies, or constituent parts, 
to register annually with the Attorney General. Registration

[[Page 42941]]

is required when the applicant's activities affect interstate or 
foreign commerce and involve manufacturing, repairing, reconditioning, 
buying, selling, leasing, using, or making a gambling device available 
for use by others. Registration is to be requested in writing each 
calendar year prior to engaging in business and is effective on the 
date all required information is received at the Department. To 
facilitate the registration requirements, the Criminal Division has 
created a ``Request for Registration'' form that can be submitted 
electronically to the Criminal Division. Upon completion, the Criminal 
Division is provided with the information needed for registration.
    The Criminal Division's Gambling Device Registration System will 
primarily maintain these registration records. Specifically, the 
Gambling Device Registration System will: Centralize, control, track, 
and maintain gambling device registration records maintained by the 
Department and required by the Gambling Devices Act of 1962; serve as 
the public interface for registrants to submit or renew gambling device 
registrations; allow the Criminal Division, Office of Enforcement 
Operations, to validate the information against previous submissions; 
and serve as the official record of the registration on behalf of the 
Attorney General.
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), the Department has provided a 
report to OMB and Congress on this new system of records.
