04-25055. Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

The Department of Justice (DOJ) proposes to modify the Privacy Act notice on “Personnel Investigation and Security Clearance Records for the Department of Justice, DOJ-006, “ last published on September 24, 2002 (67 FR 59864). The modified notice reflects the addition of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to the DOJ and deletes references to the Immigration and Naturalization Service which was placed in the new Department of Homeland Security. In addition, several minor changes are made to update and correct the notice. These minor changes do not require a comment period or notification to the Office of Management and Budget and the Congress. The modifications will be effective November 10, 2004. Questions regarding the modifications may be directed to Mary Cahill, Management Analyst, Management and Planning Staff, Justice Management Division, Room 1400 National Place Building, Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530.

The modifications to the notice are set forth below.
