Privacy Act of 1974; Implementation

The Department of Justice, Office of the Pardon Attorney (OPA), is exempting a Privacy Act system of records entitled "Executive Clemency Case Files/Executive Clemency Tracking System (JUSTICE/OPA-001)" from subsections (c)(3), (c)(4), (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3), (d)(4), and (e)(5) of the Privacy Act. Information in this system relates to the investigation and evaluation of applicants for executive clemency and case-related correspondence regarding such applicants and the clemency process. The exemptions are necessary to avoid interference with clemency investigations and decision-making, when such interference could impair the Department of Justice's ability to provide candid recommendations to the President for his ultimate decisions on clemency matters, and to prevent unwarranted invasions of the personal privacy of third parties.
