    DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
    
    [AAG/A Order No. 82-94]
    
     
    
    Privacy Act of 1974; New System of Records
    
        Pursuant to the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a), the Department of 
    Justice, United States Marshals Service, proposes to establish a new 
    Privacy Act system of records entitled ``U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) 
    Key Control Record System, JUSTICE/USM-016.''
        Title 5 U.S.C. 552a(e) (4) and (11) provide that the public be 
    given a 30-day period in which to comment on any new routine uses of a 
    system of records. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which has 
    oversight responsibilities under the Act, requires a 40-day period in 
    which to conclude its review of the system.
        Therefore, please submit any comments by March 25, 1994. The 
    public, OMB, and the Congress are invited to submit written comments to 
    Patricia E. Neely, Staff Assistant, Systems Policy Staff, Information 
    Resources Management, Justice Management Division, Department of 
    Justice, Washington, DC 20530 (Room 850, WCTR Building).
        In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), the Department has provided a 
    report on this system to OMB and the Congress.
        The system description is printed below.
    
        Dated: February 4, 1994.
    Stephen R. Colgate,
    Assistant Attorney General for Administration.
    JUSTICE/USM-016
        U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) Key Control Record System.
        Internal Security Division, Office of Inspections, United States 
    Marshals Service, 2611 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, Virginia.
        Current and former employees of the USMS who have been issued 
    office keys for USMS Headquarters locations.
        Records contained in this system consist of an automated index 
    which includes the name of the employee to whom a key is issued; the 
    social security number (only when two or more employees have identical 
    names, including middle initial); unique key identification code 
    number; key type (e.g., grand master, master, submaster, change); 
    storage container hook number; description (e.g., number 
    identification) of door(s), room(s), and/or area(s) the key opens or 
    accesses; transaction type and/or status (e.g., key issued, 
    transferred, retrieved, lost, broken) and transaction date; and, any 
    other appropriate comment, e.g., comments regarding key, door, room, 
    area, etc. In addition, a manual index with abbreviated data is 
    maintained as a backup system. This manual index includes the room/
    suite number, the name of the employee to whom a key is issued, the key 
    identification code number, and date(s) of issuance and retrieval.
        5 U.S.C. 301 and 44 U.S.C. 3101.
        The USMS Key Control Record System serves as a record of keys 
    issued and facilitates continuing security at USMS Headquarters 
    locations. Records are maintained to assist in restricting office and 
    work area access to authorized USMS personnel by controlling, 
    monitoring and tracking keys issued. In addition, records assist in 
    identifying any repairs, changes, or additional security measures that 
    may be necessary as a result of lost or broken keys.
        Records or information may be disclosed: (a) In the event that a 
    record(s) indicate a violation or potential violation of law, whether 
    civil, criminal, or regulatory in nature, and whether arising by 
    general statute or particular program statute, or by rule, regulation, 
    or order pursuant thereto, the relevant record(s) may be disclosed to 
    the appropriate agency, whether Federal, State, or local, charged with 
    the responsibility of investigating or prosecuting such violation, and/
    or charged with enforcing or implementing such statute, rule, 
    regulation or order, (b) in a proceeding before a court or adjudicative 
    body before which the USMS is authorized to appear when any of the 
    following is a party to litigation or has an interest in litigation and 
    such records are determined by the USMS to be arguably relevant to the 
    litigation: The USMS or any of its subdivisions; any USMS employee in 
    his or her official capacity, or in his or her individual capacity 
    where the Department of Justice agrees to represent the employee; or 
    the United States where the USMS determines that the litigation is 
    likely to affect it or any of its subdivisions, (c) to the news media 
    and the public pursuant to 28 CFR 50.2 unless it is determined that 
    release of the specific information in the context of a particular case 
    would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, (d) to a 
    Member of Congress or staff acting upon the Member's behalf when the 
    Member or staff requests the information on behalf of and at the 
    request of the individual who is the subject of the record, and (e) to 
    the National Archives and Records Administration and to the General 
    Services Administration in records management inspections conducted 
    under the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.
        Automated index records are stored on magnetic disks. Paper copies 
    of automated records are kept in file folders and original paper 
    records of the manual index are stored in card files.
        Records are retrieved by name of the individuals covered by the 
    system.
        Access to these records is restricted to personnel of the USMS 
    Internal Security Division. Computerized records may be accessed only 
    by assigned code and password. Paper records are located in a 
    restricted area and are maintained in metal filing cabinets or safes 
    which are locked during non-duty hours.
        Records are retained for 3 years after turn-in of the key, at which 
    time they are destroyed (General Records Schedule 18).
        Chief, Internal Security Division, Office of Inspections, United 
    States Marshals Service, 2611 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, 
    Virginia.

    Clearly mark the letter and envelope ``Freedom of Information/Privacy 
    Act Request.''
