SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the 
Department of the Treasury proposes to modify the Treasury systems of 
records notices, as identified below, to include one new routine use 
permitting disclosure to the United States Department of Justice for 
purposes of the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database (the 
``NLEAD''). On May 25, 2022, the President issued Executive Order 
14074, Advancing Effective, Accountable Policing and Criminal Justice 
Practices to Enhance Public Trust and Public Safety (the ``Executive 
Order''). Section 5 of the Executive Order directs the Attorney General 
to establish the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database as 
``a centralized repository of official records documenting instances of 
law enforcement officer misconduct as well as commendations and 
awards.'' As required by the Executive Order, in developing the NLEAD, 
the Department of Justice regularly consulted with other federal law 
enforcement agencies, at both leadership and staff levels. This new 
routine use authorizes disclosure to the Department of Justice pursuant 
to the Executive Order.
    Treasury has provided a report of this system of records to the 
House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, the Senate Committee 
on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and OMB, pursuant to 5 
U.S.C. 552a(r) and OMB Circular A-108, ``Federal Agency 
Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the 
Privacy Act,'' dated December 23, 2016.

Ryan Law,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Privacy, Transparency, and Records.

    The NLEAD routine use is being added to the following Treasury 
systems of records notices. The addition of this new routine use 
disclosure to each of the SORNs referenced below is consistent with the 
purpose(s) for which the information was collected because these SORNs 
already include a routine use for making similar disclosures directly 
to federal agencies upon request.
