DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) is revising the existing system of records, entitled ``Criminal Investigative Files'' (0990 0003), by updating the ``Systems Location'' section of that document, and republishing the revised system of records in its entirety. This notice is in accordance with the Privacy Act requirement that agencies publish their amended systems of records in the Federal Register when there is a revision, change, or addition. This system of records, maintained by OIG, was last revised and updated on June 19, 2003 (68 FR 36828).
SUMMARY:
Privacy Act; systems of records,
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
In accordance with the Inspector General Act of 1978, 5 U.S.C. App. 3, the Criminal Investigative Files system of records is maintained for the purpose of (1) Conducting, documenting, and tracking investigations conducted by OIG or other investigative agencies regarding HHS programs and operations; (2) documenting the outcome of OIG reviews of allegations and complaints received concerning HHS programs and operations; (3) aiding in prosecutions brought against the subjects of OIG investigations; (4) maintaining a record of the activities that were the subject of investigations; (5) reporting the results of OIG investigations to other departmental components for their use in operating and evaluating their programs and the imposition of civil or administrative sanctions; and (6) acting as a repository and source for information necessary to fulfill the reporting requirements of 5 U.S.C. App. 3.
This system of records was first published in the Federal Register on November 2, 1990 (55 FR 46248). The system of records was last revised and updated on June 19, 2003 (68 FR 36828), by adding a new routine use to allow disclosure of information to authorized officials within the President's Council on Integrity and Efficiency, in compliance with requirements established by the Homeland Security Act of 2002.
In accordance with the Privacy Act requirement that agencies
publish their amended systems of records in the Federal Register when
there is a revision, change, or addition, OIG has reviewed and is
revising the criminal investigative files system of records by updating
and amending the files' ``System Location'' section. Records in this
system have been located and maintained in OIG's regional offices, and
the update of the ``Systems Location'' section will simply reflect
changes in mailing addresses and a division of a region. Specifically,
the updating of the system locations are necessary to reflect new
regional mailing addresses, the change of the Region 7 headquarters
office from Denver to Kansas City, and the division of Region 9 into
two regions (San Francisco and Los Angeles). This change will not otherwise increase access to these records.
Dated: December 4, 2006.
Daniel R. Levinson,
Inspector General.
