Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the DoD is modifying and reissuing a current system of records notice titled "Case Reporting and Information Management System Records," CIG-04. The system of records is being retitled, "Inspector General Criminal Investigation Records (IGCIR)." This system of records was originally established by the DoD OIG to collect and maintain records on individuals suspected of criminal misconduct and investigated pursuant to the Inspector General Act. This system of records is being combined with CIG-06, "Investigative Files," to consolidate criminal investigative records and investigative files into a single system. A separate notice rescinding CIG-06 is being published elsewhere in today's issue of the Federal Register. This system of records notice (SORN) is being updated to incorporate the DoD standard routine uses and to support additional information sharing outside of the DoD in furtherance of external oversight, case management, and required reporting. The DoD is also modifying various other sections within the SORN to add exemptions, improve clarity, and update information that has changed. Additionally, the DoD is issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), which proposes to exempt this system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy Act, elsewhere in today's issue of the Federal Register.
