FBI Proposes Changes to National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) System of Records

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is proposing to modify the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) system of records, which is used to conduct background checks for firearm purchases, in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-108. The proposed changes aim to consolidate and update the system's notice, which was previously published in the Federal Register on multiple occasions since 1998.
