Privacy Act of 1974; Implementation

On July 14, 2021 in the publication of the Federal Register at 86 FR 37188, the Department of Justice (Department or DOJ), has published a notice of a modified system of records that was retitled as, "Department of Justice Information Technology, Information System, and Network Activity and Access Records," JUSTICE/DOJ-002. In this notice of proposed rulemaking, DOJ proposes to exempt this system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy Act in order to avoid interference with the efforts of DOJ and others to prevent the unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction of DOJ information and information systems, and to protect information on DOJ classified networks. For the reasons provided below, the Department proposes to amend its Privacy Act regulations by establishing an exemption for records in this system from certain provisions of the Privacy Act. Public comment is invited.
