02-26263. Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), Department of Justice, proposes minor changes to the following systems of records:

1. The Asset Management Information System (AMIS), JUSTICE/INS-004, previously published April 27, 1998 (63 FR 20651)

2. Law Enforcement Support Center Database (LESC), JUSTICE/INS-023, previously published May 14, 1997 (62 FR 26555).

INS proposes to add another authority for the AMIS system of records and make an editorial change in the “Safeguards” section. Changes for the LESC system of records include an editorial change to correct the address in the “System Location” and “System Manager” sections and a change in the “Storage” section to reflect that the program no longer maintains records in hardcopy format.

Comments may be directed to Mary Cahill, Management Analyst, Management and Planning Staff, Justice Management Division, Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530 (Room 1400, National Place Building).

Dated: October 4, 2002.
