SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The DOI Office of Law Enforcement 

and Security (OLES) maintains the 

INTERIOR/DOI–10, Incident 

Management, Analysis and Reporting 

System, as a unified Department-wide 

law enforcement records management 

system. This system of records helps 

DOI protect life and resources, manage 

law enforcement incidents and 

investigations, measure performance, 

meet reporting requirements, and foster 

public trust through transparent and 

accountable law enforcement programs. 

The system also provides the capability 

to prevent, detect, and investigate 

known and suspected criminal activity 

and violations of fish and wildlife laws; 

transmit information to Federal law 

enforcement databases and repositories; 

analyze and prioritize protection efforts; 

provide information to justify law 

enforcement funding requests and 

expenditures; assist in managing visitor 

use and protection programs; 

investigate, detain and apprehend those 

committing crimes on DOI properties, 

including National Wildlife Refuges, 

National Parks, and Tribal reservations 

(for the purpose of this system of 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 7 / Wednesday, January 10, 2024 / Notices 1595 

records notice, Tribal reservations 

include contiguous areas policed by 

Tribal or Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) 

law enforcement officers) managed by 

Native American Tribes under BIA; and 

investigate and prevent visitor accidents 

and injuries on DOI properties or Tribal 

reservations. Incident and non-incident 

data related to criminal activity will be 

collected in support of law enforcement, 

homeland security, and security 

(physical, personnel, suitability, and 

industrial) activities. This may include 

data documenting criminal and 

administrative investigations and other 

law enforcement activities, use of force 

and critical incidents, traffic safety, 

property damage claims, motor vehicle 

crashes, domestic violence incidents, 

and information sharing and analysis 

activities. This notice covers all DOI law 

enforcement records, investigations, and 

case files in any medium that are 

created, collected, maintained, or 

managed by DOI bureaus and offices, 

excluding the Office of Inspector 

General, which maintains its own 

investigations system of records. DOI 

law enforcement bureaus and offices 

include OLES, Office of the Secretary, 

BIA, Bureau of Land Management, 

Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service, and the National 

Park Service. The OLES has 

Department-wide coordination and 

oversight responsibilities of law 

enforcement activities; however, each 

bureau and office is responsible for 

managing their records in this system 

for the administration of their law 

enforcement programs. 

DOI is proposing to change the title of 

the system of records to INTERIOR/ 

DOI–10, DOI Law Enforcement Records 

Management System (LE RMS) to reflect 

the modified scope of the system; 

update the system manager and system 

location sections; expand on categories 

of individuals covered by the system, 

the categories of records and records 

source categories sections; update 

authorities for maintenance of the 

system; update the storage, safeguards, 

and records retention schedule; update 

the notification, records access and 

contesting procedures; and provide 

general updates in accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974 and Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

Circular A–108, Federal Agency 

Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, 

and Publication under the Privacy Act. 

DOI is also changing the routine uses 

from a numeric to alphabetic list and is 

proposing to modify existing routine 

uses to provide clarity and transparency 

and reflect updates consistent with 

standard DOI routine uses. The notice of 

disclosure to consumer reporting 

agencies in former routine use 13 was 

moved to the end of this section. 

Routine use A has been modified to 

further clarify disclosures to the 

Department of Justice or other Federal 

agencies when necessary in relation to 

litigation or judicial proceedings. 

Routine use B has been modified to 

clarify disclosures to a congressional 

office to respond to or resolve an 

individual’s request made to that office. 

Routine use H has been modified to 

expand the sharing of information with 

territorial organizations in response to 

court orders or for discovery purposes 

related to litigation. Routine use I has 

been modified to include the sharing of 

information with grantees and shared 

service providers that perform services 

requiring access to these records on 

DOI’s behalf to carry out the purposes 

of the system. Routine use J was slightly 

modified to allow DOI to share 

information with appropriate Federal 

agencies or entities when reasonably 

necessary to prevent, minimize, or 

remedy the risk of harm to individuals 

or the Federal Government resulting 

from a breach in accordance with OMB 

Memorandum M–17–12, Preparing for 

and Responding to a Breach of 

Personally Identifiable Information. 

Routine use N was modified to clarify 

the sharing of information with the 

news media and the public to assure 

public safety related to potential or 

imminent threats to life, health, or 

property. Routine use P was modified to 

add the sharing of information when 

permitted by Federal law, statute, 

regulation, executive order, and DOI 

policy. Routine use Q was modified to 

add shared service providers who may 

need to access records in order to 

perform authorized activities on DOI’s 

behalf. 

Proposed routine use O allows DOI to 

share information with the news media 

and the public where there exists a 

legitimate public interest in the 

disclosure of information and it is 

necessary to preserve the confidence in 

the integrity of the DOI, demonstrate 

DOI’s commitment to serving the public 

and the accountability of its officers and 

employees. Proposed routine use T 

allows DOI to share information with 

adjudicative or regulatory agencies 

when necessary and appropriate to 

adjudicate decisions affecting 

individuals who are subjects of 

investigations or covered by this system 

notice. Proposed routine use U allows 

DOI to share information with 

complainants, victims, family members, 

and representatives to the extent 

necessary to provide information on 

results of investigations or cases or 

matters they may be involved in. 

Proposed routine use V allows DOI to 

share information with an official or 

employee regarding a matter within that 

individual’s area of responsibility or 

when relevant and necessary to respond 

to official inquiries by the Department 

or other authority. Proposed routine use 

W allows DOI to share information with 

Tribal organizations when necessary 

and relevant under the Indian SelfDetermination and Education 

Assistance Act. 

Pursuant to the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 

552a(b)(12), DOI may disclose 

information from this system to 

consumer reporting agencies as defined 

in the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 

U.S.C. 1681a(f)) or the Federal Claims 

Collection Act of 1966 (31 U.S.C. 

3701(a)(3)) to aid in the collection of 

outstanding debts owed to the Federal 

Government. 

In a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

published separately in the Federal 

Register, DOI is proposing to claim 

additional exemptions for records 

maintained in this system pursuant to 

the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 

552a(k)(1), (k)(3), (k)(5), and (k)(6). 

II. Privacy Act 

The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 

embodies fair information practice 

principles in a statutory framework 

governing the means by which Federal 

agencies collect, maintain, use, and 

disseminate individuals’ records. The 

Privacy Act applies to records about 

individuals that are maintained in a 

‘‘system of records.’’ A ‘‘system of 

records’’ is a group of any records under 

the control of an agency from which 

information is retrieved by the name of 

an individual or by some identifying 

number, symbol, or other identifying 

particular assigned to the individual. 

The Privacy Act defines an individual 

as a United States citizen or lawful 

permanent resident. Individuals may 

request access to their own records that 

are maintained in a system of records in 

the possession or under the control of 

DOI by complying with DOI Privacy Act 

regulations at 43 CFR part 2, subpart K, 

and following the procedures outlined 

in the Records Access, Contesting 

Record, and Notification Procedures 

sections of this notice. 

The Privacy Act requires each agency 

to publish in the Federal Register a 

description denoting the existence and 

character of each system of records that 

the agency maintains and the routine 

uses of each system. The INTERIOR/ 

DOI–10, DOI Law Enforcement Records 

Management System (LE RMS), system 

of records notice is published in its 

entirety below. In accordance with 5

U.S.C. 552a(r), DOI has provided a 

report of this system of records to the 

Office of Management and Budget and 

to Congress.

comment including your personally 

identifiable information, such as your
