Exemption of Records System Under the Privacy Act

The Department of Justice proposes to exempt a Privacy Act system of records from subsection (d) of the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a. This system of records is the ``Freedom of Information/Privacy Acts (FOI/PA) Records, (JUSTICE/OPR-002).'' Records in this system may contain information which relates to official Federal investigations and matters of law enforcement of the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR). Accordingly, where applicable, the exemptions are necessary to avoid interference with the law enforcement functions of OPR. Specifically, the exemptions are necessary to prevent subjects of investigations from frustrating the investigatory process; preclude the disclosure of investigative techniques; protect the identities and physical safety of confidential sources and of law enforcement personnel; ensure OPR's ability to obtain information from information sources; protect the privacy of third parties; and safeguard classified information as required by Executive Order 12958.
