DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
[CPCLO Order No. 009-2019]
Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
AGENCY: Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States Department of
Justice.
ACTION: Notice of a modified system of records.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 and Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-108, notice is hereby given that the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a component within the United
States Department of Justice (DOJ or Department), proposes to modify an
existing system of records notice titled The Next Generation
Identification (NGI) System, JUSTICE/FBI-009. The FBI proposes to add
iris images as another biometric in NGI, include fingerprints
voluntarily submitted to NGI by individuals appealing firearms denials
or seeking a review of their NGI identity records, include the testing
environments of NGI, and clarify the biographic records in NGI.
DATES: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11), the public has
30 days in which to comment on the routine uses, described below.
Please submit any comments by November 8, 2019.
ADDRESSES: The public, OMB, and Congress are invited to submit any
comments by mail to the United States Department of Justice, Office of
Privacy and Civil Liberties, ATTN: Privacy Analyst, 145 N St. NE, Suite
8W-300, Washington, DC 20530; by facsimile at 202-307-0693; or by email
at [email protected]. To ensure proper handling, please
reference the above CPCLO Order No. on your correspondence.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Roxane M. Panarella, Privacy Attorney,
Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division, 1000 Custer
Hollow Road, Clarksburg, WV 26306; telephone (202) 324-3000.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NGI SORN is being republished due to
several changes since its last publication in May of 2016. The
following updates are being made: (1) The inclusion of iris images as a
biometric; (2) the inclusion of individuals who voluntarily provide
fingerprints and associated information in order to appeal firearm
denials; (3) the inclusion of individuals who voluntarily provide
fingerprints and associated information in order to obtain their own
identity history records; (4) the inclusion of data in the testing
environments of NGI; and (5) the clarification that some identity
records contain only biographic information.
Iris images: As described in the previously published NGI SORN, one
of the significant changes from the FBI's predecessor system, the
Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS), was the
implementation of NGI's additional biometric services. While IAFIS had
been primarily a fingerprint system, NGI now offers the retention and
searching of additional biometrics, such as facial images and palm
prints. NGI continues to rely on ten-print fingerprints for positive
identification but its identity records may contain multi-modal
biometrics to augment those fingerprints and associated biographic
information. For the past few years, the FBI has conducted a pilot to
determine if iris images would be an appropriate and useful addition to
the NGI operational environment. The FBI has coordinated with criminal
justice and scientific partners to determine the efficacy of using iris
images for biometric identification purposes. Based on the pilot
findings, the FBI has determined that iris matching is highly accurate;
therefore, the addition of iris images in the NGI operational
environment would be of great value. The FBI plans to permit authorized
users of NGI to enroll and search iris images in the near future.
Although the May 2016 NGI SORN used the terms ``biometrics'' and
``biometric images'' which would include iris images, in the interest
of clarity, the FBI has decided to specifically add ``iris images'' to
all appropriate categories of individuals and categories of records in
this SORN.
Firearms denials: In accordance with the Brady Handgun Violence
Prevention Act of 1993, the FBI uses the National Instant Criminal
Background Check System (NICS) to conduct background checks on
potential buyers of firearms. If the FBI denies the transfer of the
firearm based on federal or state prohibiting criteria, the individual
has a right, per federal statute, to request the reason for the denial
and to appeal that denial. An individual may voluntarily provide
fingerprints to the FBI in support of the appeal. The FBI has been
conducting NICS background checks for decades; however, with the
passage of the Fix NICS Act in 2018, it sought ways to expedite the
appeal process. If an individual submits fingerprints, the FBI now
conducts electronic searches of the fingerprints and associated
biographic information in NGI to locate relevant criminal history. The
fingerprints and other personally identifiable
[[Page 54183]]
information are not retained, and are permanently deleted from NGI,
after the search is conducted. The FBI is updating the categories of
individuals and categories of records in this SORN to include
fingerprints voluntarily submitted to NGI for firearms appeals.
Identity History Records: Pursuant to 28 CFR 16.30-16.34, issued in
1973, an individual may seek a copy of his or her identification
record, or the lack thereof, for the purposes of access and amendment.
The relevant federal regulations require that an individual provide
fingerprints and specific biographic information to the FBI in order to
ensure positive identification and accurate record retrieval. The
fingerprints and associated personal information are retained in NGI
for a period of three years. In addition, 28 CFR 50.12 provides that
individuals have a right to appeal the accuracy of their identification
records. For the past several decades, the FBI has processed millions
of these requests and appeals. In so doing, the FBI has offered a
valuable service to the public, affording individuals the opportunity
to review, correct, or update criminal history records or receive
confirmation of the absence of criminal history records. The May 2016
SORN included this population within Routine Use X; however, the FBI
finds that this population is more appropriately placed within
categories of individuals and categories of records. Therefore, the
text has been removed from the Routine Uses and the appropriate updates
are being made to the other sections of this SORN.
Testing Environments: NGI permits its users to test its various
services prior to participation in the NGI operational system. This
allows users to prepare for technical changes, system upgrades, and new
requirements. NGI has both operational and non-operational testing
environments that ensure ongoing data and system security, access, and
integrity. The ``operational testing environments'' use live data to
test functions of the NGI system in limited access environments
disconnected from the rest of the environments. This data is largely
duplicative of the data in the NGI operational system. The ``non-
operational testing environments'' use simulated data to test functions
of the NGI system in limited access environments disconnected from the
rest of the environments. Testing data in both operational and non-
operational environments consists of the same types of biometric and
biographic information contained in the NGI operational system. This
SORN adds the NGI testing environments and the data contained within as
part of the NGI system.
Biographic Records: Although NGI is primarily a biometric system,
in rare instances, the FBI may be unable to obtain fingerprints or
other biometrics associated with an individual. This situation may
occur with identities collected pursuant to the FBI's criminal and
national security investigative missions, as well as some limited
instances of identities submitted for background checks or clearances.
In all instances, the FBI ensures that the biographic information is as
accurate, complete, and up-to-date as reasonably possible and seeks to
obtain fingerprints for the record. In the interest of transparency,
the FBI is clarifying the presence of biographic-only records in this
SORN.
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.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF RECORDS:
Records in this system are stored in paper and/or electronic
format.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF RECORDS:
Records in this system are typically retrieved by fingerprints,
biometrics, individual name, and other identifying data, including
unique identifying numbers assigned by the FBI or other government
agencies. Positive identification is effected only by comparison of
fingerprint impressions submitted for search against the fingerprints
maintained within the
[[Page 54186]]
system. Another means of retrieval is through name indices, which
contain names of the individuals, their birth data, other physical
descriptors, and unique identifying numbers, if such have been
assigned.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:
Records in this system will be retained and disposed of in
accordance with the records schedule approved by the National Archives
and Records Administration. In general, fingerprints and associated
biometric and biographic information will be destroyed when the
subjects attain 110 years of age or 7 years after notification of death
with biometric confirmation. Criminal history records and transaction
logs are to be permanently retained.
ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:
All records are maintained in a secure government facility with
access limited to only authorized personnel or authorized and escorted
visitors. Disclosure of information from the system is made only to
authorized recipients upon authentication and verification of the right
to access the system by such persons and agencies. The physical
security and maintenance of information within the system is provided
by FBI rules, regulations, and procedures.
RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
All requests for access to records must be in writing and should be
addressed to the FBI, Record/Information Dissemination Section, Attn:
FOIPA Request, 170 Marcel Drive, Winchester, VA 22602-4843. The
envelope and letter should be clearly marked ``Privacy Act Access
Request.'' The request must describe the records sought in sufficient
detail to enable Department personnel to locate them with a reasonable
amount of effort. The request must include a general description of the
records sought and must include the requester's full name, current
address, and date and place of birth. The request must be signed and
either notarized or submitted under penalty of perjury. Some
information may be exempt from the access provisions as described in
the ``EXEMPTIONS PROMULGATED FOR THE SYSTEM'' paragraph, below. An
individual who is the subject of a record in this system of records may
access those records that are not exempt from access. A determination
whether a record may be accessed will be made at the time a request is
received.
