DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Criminal Division, Department 

of Justice. 

ACTION: Notice of a modification of a 

system of records. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 

1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), the Criminal 

Division (CRM), Department of Justice, 

proposes to modify an existing system 

of records entitled ‘‘Organized Crime 

Drug Enforcement Task Force Fusion 

Center System,’’ JUSTICE/CRM–028, 

which covers the records maintained by 

the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement 

Task Force (OCDETF) Fusion Center, 

Executive Office for the Organized 

Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force, 

Criminal Division, and rename it the 

‘‘Organized Crime Drug Enforcement 

Task Force Fusion Center and 

International Organized Crime 

Intelligence and Operations Center 

System.’’ In recognition of the 

demonstrated interrelationship between 

criminal organizations that engage in 

illicit drug trafficking (and related 

criminal activities) and those that 

engage in international organized crime, 

involving a broader variety of criminal 

activity, the International Organized 

Crime Intelligence and Operations 

Center (IOC–2) and OCDETF formed a 

partnership. This partnership will 

facilitate both OCDETF and IOC–2 

mission needs by collocating multisource criminal law enforcement and 

intelligence data into one central system 

in order to assist OCDETF and IOC–2 in 

executing their responsibilities with 

respect to drug trafficking, international 

organized crime, money laundering, 

firearms trafficking, alien smuggling, 

terrorism, and other enforcement efforts, 

including the identification, location, 

arrest and prosecution of suspects, and 

civil proceedings and other activities 

related to such enforcement activities. 

Additionally, two new routine use 

disclosures are being added to the 

system notice. Routine use (t) pertains 

to the suitability/eligibility of an 

individual for a license or permit and 

routine use (u) includes notification of 

a terrorist threat. 

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

552a(e)(4) and (11), the public is given 

a 30-day period in which to comment; 

and the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB), which has oversight 

responsibility under the Act, requires a 

40-day period in which to conclude its 

review of the system. Therefore, please 

submit any comments by July 13, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: The public, OMB, and 

Congress are invited to submit any 

comments to the Department of Justice,

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

Records may contain investigative 

and intelligence information about the 

individuals in this system, including 

their identifying information such as, 

but not limited to, name, social security 

number, address, physical descriptions 

of appearance, license plate 

information, bank account number, 

location and activities, as well as other 

data which may assist the Organized 

Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force 

(OCDETF) Fusion Center in fulfilling its 

responsibilities and/or the International 

Organized Crime Intelligence and 

Operations Center (IOC–2) in fulfilling 

its responsibilities. Information includes 

multi-source data that may assist law 

enforcement agencies, regulatory 

agencies, and agencies of the U.S. 

foreign intelligence community or 

military community in executing their 

responsibilities with respect to drug 

trafficking, international organized 

crime, money laundering, firearms 

trafficking, alien smuggling, terrorism, 

and other enforcement efforts, including 

the identification, location, arrest and 

prosecution of suspects, and civil 

proceedings and other activities related 

to such enforcement activities. This 

system of records will not contain 

Federal tax returns and return 

information as defined by 26 U.S.C. 

6103. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 

2004, Public Law 108–199, 118 Stat. 3 

(2004); Comprehensive Drug Abuse 

Prevention and Control Act of 1970, 

Public Law 91–513 (84 Stat. 1236); the 

Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 

1961; the Organized Crime Control Act 

of 1970, Public Law 91–452 (84 Stat. 

922); the Convention on Transnational 

Organized Crime, 2004; Executive Order 

11396 (1968). Additional authority is 

derived from Treaties, Statutes, 

Executive Orders and Presidential 

Proclamations which the Department of 

Justice (DOJ) has been charged with 

administering. 

PURPOSE(S): 

This system of records will serve two 

primary purposes. The first purpose of 

this system of records is to facilitate the 

mission of the OCDETF Program, which 

is to reduce the drug supply by 

identifying, disrupting and dismantling 

the most significant international and 

domestic drug supply and money 

laundering organizations and related 

criminal operations (e.g., arms 

traffickers, alien smugglers, terrorists). 

By establishing a central data warehouse 

for the compilation, fusion, storage, and 

comprehensive analysis of drug, 

financial, and related investigative 

information, OCDETF expects to 

produce a more complete picture of the 

activities of drug trafficking, money 

laundering, firearms trafficking, alien 

smuggling, terrorist, and other criminal 

organizations and their memberships 

than any one such agency can produce 

by itself. Specifically, the OCDETF 

Fusion Center will develop investigative 

leads, operational intelligence products 

and strategic intelligence assessments 

on new or evolving threats. The 

OCDETF Fusion Center intends to 

disseminate these analytical products, 

as appropriate, to Federal, state, local, 

tribal, territorial, and foreign law 

enforcement and regulatory agencies 

and to agencies of the U.S. foreign 

intelligence community and the military 

community, to assist them in enforcing 

criminal, civil, and regulatory laws 

related to drug trafficking, money 

laundering, firearms trafficking, alien 

smuggling, terrorism, and other crimes, 

including the identification, 

apprehension, and prosecution of 

individuals who threaten the United 

States national and international 

security and interests through their 

involvement in such crimes. 

The second purpose of this system of 

records is to facilitate the mission of 

IOC–2 and its member agencies to 

significantly disrupt and dismantle 

those international criminal 

organizations posing the greatest threat 

to the United States. By establishing a 

central data warehouse for the 

compilation, fusion, storage, and 

comprehensive analysis of international 

organized crime, financial, and related 

investigative information, IOC–2 

expects to produce a more complete 

picture of the activities of international 

criminal organizations and their 

memberships than any one such agency 

can produce by itself. Specifically, IOC– 

2 will develop investigative leads, 

operational intelligence products and 

strategic intelligence assessments on 

new or evolving threats. IOC–2 intends 

to disseminate these analytical 

products, as appropriate, to Federal, 

state, local, tribal, territorial, and foreign 

law enforcement and regulatory 

agencies and to agencies of the U.S. 

foreign intelligence community and the 

military community, to assist them in 

enforcing criminal, civil, and regulatory 

laws related to organized crime, 

terrorism, and other crimes, including 

the identification, apprehension, and 

prosecution of individuals who threaten 

the United States national and 

international security and interests 

through their involvement in such 

crimes.
