SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

JUSTICE/FBI-023 established a system of records for the FBI's capabilities to detect, deter, and mitigate threats by FBI personnel including, but not limited to, employees, members of joint task forces under the purview of the FBI, contractors, detailees, assignees, and interns, with authorized access to FBI facilities, information systems, or Classified information. FBI personnel assigned to the FBI Insider Threat Prevention and Detection Program (ITPDP) have used the system of records to facilitate management of insider threat inquiries and activities associated with inquiries and referrals, identify potential threats to FBI resources and information assets, track referrals of potential insider threats to internal and external partners, and provide statistical reports and meet other insider threat reporting requirements. JUSTICE/FBI-023 is being discontinued and will be replaced by the DOJ Insider Threat Program Records, JUSTICE/DOJ-018, a DOJ-wide system of records with the same purpose. Records that were part of JUSTICE/FBI-023 will continue to be retained, but will become part of JUSTICE/DOJ-018. The JUSTICE/DOJ-018 will cover the same types of records as the discontinued JUSTICE/FBI-023, but on a Department-wide scale.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:

FBI Insider Threat Program Records, JUSTICE/FBI-023.

HISTORY:

See 81 FR 64198 (Sept. 19, 2016) for the notice of a new system of records establishing JUSTICE/FBI-023.
