64600 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 241 / Monday, December 17, 2018 / Notices 

On November 13, 2018, Respondents 

petitioned the Commission to rescind 

the remedial orders based on the 

Federal Circuit ruling that the asserted 

claims are invalid. On November 23, 

2018, Complainants opposed the 

petition, and argued that the 

Commission should instead reopen the 

record for further evidence on 

indefiniteness. 

Also on November 13, 2018, 

Complainants moved to reopen the 

record for the limited purpose of 

admitting evidence relating to 

indefiniteness. On November 23, 2018, 

Respondents opposed the motion, 

arguing that the Federal Circuit 

invalidity ruling is binding on the 

Commission. Respondents also argued 

Complainants should have to show 

cause why they should not be 

sanctioned for a frivolous filing. On 

November 29, 2018, Complainants 

moved for leave to file a reply in 

support of their motion. 

Having considered the petition and 

response, the Commission has 

determined to institute a rescission 

proceeding, and finds that the Federal 

Circuit’s ruling that the asserted claims 

are invalid is a changed circumstance 

that warrants rescinding the remedial 

orders. The Commission therefore has 

determined to rescind the remedial 

orders. 

In light of the Commission’s 

determination to rescind the remedial 

orders, the Commission has also 

determined to deny as moot 

Complainants’ motion to reopen the 

record. The Commission also denies 

Respondents’ request for sanctions, and 

denies Complainants’ motion for leave 

to file a reply. The rescission proceeding 

is hereby terminated. 

The authority for the Commission’s 

determination is contained in Section 

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in part 

210 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part 

210). 

By order of the Commission. 

Issued: December 11, 2018.

Secretary to the Commission.

BILLING CODE 4410–PB–P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

[CPCLO Order No. 007–2018] 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: United States Department of 

Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation. 

ACTION: Notice of a Modified System of 

Records. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 

1974 and Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) Circular No. A–108, 

notice is hereby given that the Federal 

Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a 

component within the United States 

Department of Justice (DOJ), proposes to 

modify a system of records titled ‘‘Law 

Enforcement National Data Exchange’’ 

(N–DEx), JUSTICE/FBI–020, as to which 

notice was last published in the Federal 

Register on October 4, 2007 (Notice). 

The N–DEx System is a scalable 

information-sharing network that 

provides the capability for local, state, 

tribal, territorial, regional, federal, and 

foreign criminal justice agencies to 

make potential linkages between 

criminal justice incidents, 

investigations, arrests, bookings, 

incarcerations, parole and/or probation 

information, and criminal intelligence 

information, in order to help solve, 

deter, and prevent crimes, and, in the 

process, to enhance national security. 

DATES: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 

552a(e)(4) and (11), this notice is 

applicable upon publication, subject to 

a 30-day period in which to comment 

on the routine uses, described below. 

Please submit any comments by January 

16, 2019. 

ADDRESSES: The public, OMB, and 

Congress are invited to submit any 

comments: by mail to DOJ, Office of 

Privacy and Civil Liberties, ATTN: 

Privacy Analyst, National Place 

Building, 1331 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 

Suite 1000, Washington, DC 20530– 

0001; by facsimile at 202–307–0693; or 

by email at privacy.compliance@

usdoj.gov. To ensure proper handling, 

please reference the above CPCLO Order 

No. on your correspondence. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Katherine Bond, Assistant General 

Counsel, Privacy and Civil Liberties 

Unit, Office of the General Counsel, FBI, 

935 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, 

Washington, DC 20535–0001; telephone 

202–324–3000. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FBI 

has revised this system of records to 

update the purpose and uses of the 

system, the type of information 

maintained by the system, the sources of 

information, and the retrieval 

capabilities of information from the 

system. 

The FBI is modifying the name of this 

system of records from ‘‘Law 

Enforcement National Data Exchange’’ 

to ‘‘National Data Exchange System’’ 

(N–DEx System). This name change 

reflects a previously implemented FBI 

policy decision to remove ‘‘law 

enforcement’’ from the title of the 

system to reflect more accurately the use 

of the N–DEx System by all criminal 

justice agencies. Similarly, to provide 

greater transparency on the use of the 

system of records, the term ‘‘law 

enforcement’’ within the existing notice 

is being changed to ‘‘criminal justice’’ 

generally. ‘‘Administration of criminal 

justice,’’ as defined by federal 

regulation, encompasses the 

performance of a broader array of 

activities than those performed only by 

sworn law enforcement officers, and 

include probation/parole, correctional 

supervision, prosecution, and 

rehabilitation of accused persons or 

criminal offenders. Criminal justice 

agencies also include courts and 

government agencies performing the 

administration of criminal justice 

functions. See 28 CFR 20.3(b) and (g). 

Despite changes to the system as 

described in this notice, the FBI 

continues to assert, and is not changing 

the Privacy Act exemptions for the 

system promulgated by Final Rule at 73 

FR 9947 (Feb. 25, 2008). As stated in 

that Final Rule, these Privacy Act 

exemptions apply only to the extent that 

information in the system is within the 

scope of 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), and to the 

extent it is, the rationale for asserting 

the exemptions has not changed. 

Although the name of this system of 

records is changing slightly pursuant to 

this Notice, the exemptions as stated in 

73 FR 9947 (Feb. 25, 2008) under the 

prior name of this system continue to 

apply under the new name. When 

changes to the exemptions for this 

system become necessary, FBI will at 

that time indicate as part of the rule 

change that the name of the system has 

changed slightly. 

The FBI is also updating the purpose 

and routine uses of the Notice to reflect 

the expanded purpose of the N–DEx 

System to provide records to criminal 

justice agencies for criminal justice 

employment background checks; 

firearms, explosive, and associated 

license/permit-related background 

checks; and security risk assessments 

conducted on individuals seeking 

access to select biological agents or 

toxins pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 262a and 

42 CFR 73.10. In addition, the updated 

purpose reflects the use of the N–DEx 

System for federal suitability and fitness 

determinations as contemplated in 

Executive Order 13467, as amended by 

Executive Order 13764. These expanded 

uses of the N–DEx System promote 

public safety by ensuring that a 

prospective employee’s involvement in 

the criminal justice system is known 

before a criminal justice employee or 

federal employee is hired. Likewise, 

expanding the use of the N–DEx System 

for firearm, explosive, and associated 

license/permit-related checks and 

security risk assessments provides 

access to additional criminal justice 

information relevant to determining if a 

potential purchaser is prohibited by 

state or federal law from receiving a 

firearm, explosive, or associated permit 

or if an applicant is legally restricted 

from accessing select biological agents 

or toxins. For consolidation purposes, 

the routine uses applicable to the N– 

DEx System under the FBI’s Blanket 

Routine Uses (FBI–BRU, 66 FR 33558 

(June 22, 2001), as amended by 70 FR 

7513, 517 (Feb. 14, 2005) and 82 FR 

24147 (May 25, 2017)), are also being 

included in the routine use portion of 

this notice. 

Additional changes are being made to 

this Notice to provide greater clarity 

about the information contained in the 

N–DEx System and the types of 

information that can be retrieved for 

criminal justice purposes by the N–DEx 

System. Expanding the N–DEx System 

to include records retrieved via a 

federated search of additional criminal 

justice information and criminal 

intelligence databases increases 

criminal justice agencies’ access to 

information necessary for them to 

perform their legally authorized, 

required functions. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), 

the DOJ has provided a report to OMB 

and the Congress on this revised system 

of records.
