CIVIL RIGHTS COLD CASE RECORDS REVIEW BOARD
[Agency Docket Number: CRCCRRB-2026-0009-N]
Notice of Formal Determination on Records Release
AGENCY: Civil Rights Cold Case Records Review Board.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Civil Rights Cold Case Records Review Board received 2,883
pages of records from the National Archives and Records Administration
(NARA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) related to three
civil rights cold case incidents to which the Review Board assigned the
unique identifiers 2024-003-020, 2024-003-037, and 2024-003-039. The
Review Board previously issued its determinations on these records
except for 18 proposed postponements of sealed federal grand jury
information which required additional review and coordination with the
agencies. On March 27, 2026, the Review Board met and decided to
approve these postponements. It declined to request that the Attorney
General petition the relevant court to unseal this information at this
time though it may choose to do so in the future. The Review Board also
received 1,197 pages of records from NARA related to another three
civil rights cold case incidents to which the Review Board assigned the
unique identifiers 2024-003-017, 2024-003-047, and 2024-004-001. NARA
proposed 44 postponements including postponements of sealed federal
grand jury information in the records. On March 27, 2026, the Review
Board met and determined that 1,187 pages in full and 10 pages in part
should be publicly disclosed in the Civil Rights Cold Case Records
Collection. The Review Board will not request that the Attorney General
petition the relevant court to unseal the federal grand jury
information in these records at this time though it may choose to do so
in the future. By issuing this notice, the Review Board complies with
the Civil Rights Cold Case Records Collection Act of 2018 that requires
the Review Board to publish in the Federal Register its determinations
on the disclosure or postponement of records in the Collection no more
than 14 days after the date of its decision.
