  Records Maintained in FBI Field Divisions--FBI field divisions
  maintain for limited periods of time investigative, administrative and
  correspondence records, including files, index cards and related
  material, some of which are duplicated copies of reports and similar
  documents forwarded to FBI Headquarters. Most investigative activities
  conducted by FBI field divisions are reported to FBI Headquarters at
  one or more stages of the investigation. There are, however,
  investigative activities wherein no reporting was made to FBI
  Headquarters, e.g., pending cases not as yet reported and cases which
  were closed in the field division for any of a number of reasons
  without reporting to FBI Headquarters.
  Duplicate records and records which extract information reported in
  the main files are also kept in the various divisions of the FBI to
  assist them in their day-to-day operation. These records are lists of
  individuals which contain certain biographic data, including physical
  description and photograph. They may also contain information
  concerning activities of the individual as reported to FBIHQ by the
  various field offices. The establishment of these lists is
  necessitated by the needs of the Division to have immediate access to
  pertinent information duplicative of data found in the central records
  without the delay caused by a time-consuming manual search of central
  indices. The manner of segregating these individuals varies depending
  on the particular needs of the FBI Division. The information
  pertaining to individuals who are a part of the list is derivative of
  information contained in the Central Records System. These duplicative
  records fall into the following categories:
  (1) Listings of individuals used to assist in the location and
  apprehension of individuals for whom legal process is outstanding
  (fugitives):
  (2) Listings of individuals used in the identification of particular
  offenders in cases where the FBI has jurisdiction. These listings
  include various photograph albums and background data concerning
  persons who have been formerly charged with a particular crime and who
  may be suspect in similar criminal activities; and photographs of
  individuals who are unknown but suspected of involvement in a
  particular criminal activity, for example, bank surveillance
  photographs:
  (3) Listings of individuals as part of an overall criminal
  intelligence effort by the FBI. This would include photograph albums,
  lists of individuals known to be involved in criminal activity,
  including theft from interstate shipment, interstate transportation of
  stolen property, and individuals in the upper echelon of organized
  crime:
  (4) Listings of individuals in connection with the FBI's mandate to
  carry out Presidential directives on January 8, 1943, July 24, 1950,
  December 15, 1953, and February 18, 1976, which designated the FBI to
  carry out investigative work in matters relating to espionage,
  sabotage, and foreign counterintelligence. These listings may include
  photograph albums and other listings containing biographic data
  regarding individuals. This would include lists of identified and
  suspected foreign intelligence agents and informants:
  (5) Special indices duplicative of the central indices used to access
  the Central Records System have been created from time to time in
  conjunction with the administration and investigation of major cases.
  This duplication and segregation facilitates access to documents
  prepared in connection with major cases.
  In recent years, as the emphasis on the investigation of white collar
  crime, organized crime, and hostile foreign intelligence operations
  has increased, the FBI has been confronted with increasingly
  complicated cases, which require more intricate information processing
  capabilities. Since these complicated investigations frequently
  involve massive volumes of evidence and other investigative
  information, the FBI uses its computers, when necessary to collate,
  analyze, and retrieve investigative information in the most accurate
  and expeditious manner possible. It should be noted that this
  computerized investigative information, which is extracted from the
  main files or other commercial or governmental sources, is only
  maintained as necessary to support the FBI's investigative activities.
  Information from these internal computerized subsystems of the
  ``Central Records System'' is not accessed by any other agency. All
  disclosures of computerized information are made in printed form or
  other appropriate format, in accordance with the routine uses which
  are set forth below and in compliance with applicable security
  requirements.
  Records also are maintained on a temporary basis relevant to the FBI's
  domestic police cooperating program, where assistance in obtaining
  information is provided to state and local police agencies.
  Also, personnel type information, dealing with such matters as
  attendance and production and accuracy requirements is maintained by
  some divisions.
  (The following chart identifies various listings or indexes maintained
  by the FBI which have been or are being used by various divisions of
  the FBI in their day-to-day operations. The chart identifies the list
  by name, description and use, and where maintained, i.e. FBI
  Headquarters and/or Field Office. The number in parentheses in the
  field office column indicates the number of field offices which
  maintain these indices. The chart indicates, under ``status of
  index,'' those indexes which are in current use (designated by the
  word ``active'') and those which are no longer being used, although
  maintained (designated by the word ``inactive''). There are 27
  separate indices which are classified in accordance with existing
  regulations and are not included in this chart. The following indices
  are no longer being used by the FBI and are being maintained at FBIHQ
  pending receipt of authority to destroy: Black Panther Party Photo
  Index; Black United Front Index; Security Index; and Wounded Knee
  Album.)

                                       because they were
                                       believed to constitute
                                       a potential or active
                                       threat to the internal
                                       security of the United
                                       States. When ADEX was
                                       started in 1971, it
                                       was made up of people
                                       who were formerly on
                                       the Security Index,
                                       Reserve Index, and
                                       Agitator Index. This
                                       index is maintained in

                                       attention.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Authority for maintenance of the system:
  Federal Records Act of 1950, Title 44, United States Code, chapter 31,
  section 3101; and title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, chapter XII,
  require Federal agencies to insure that adequate and proper records
  are made and preserved to document the organization, functions,
  policies, decisions, procedures and transactions and to protect the
  legal and financial rights of the Federal Government, title 28, United
  States Code, section 534, delegates authority to the Attorney General
  to acquire, collect, classify, and preserve identification, criminal
  identification, crime and other records.
Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories
    of users and the purposes of such uses:
  Records, both investigative and administrative, are maintained in this
  system in order to permit the FBI to function efficiently as an
  authorized, responsive component of the Department of Justice.
  Therefore, information in this system is disclosed to officials and
  employees of the Department of Justice, and/or all components thereof,
  who have need of the information in the performance of their official
  duties.
  Personal information from this system may be disclosed as a routine
  use to any Federal agency where the purpose in making the disclosure
  is compatible with the law enforcement purpose for which it was
  collected, e.g., to assist the recipient agency in conducting a lawful
  criminal or intelligence investigation, to assist the recipient agency
  in making a determination concerning an individual's suitability for
  employment and/or trustworthiness for employment and/or
  trustworthiness for access clearance purposes, or to assist the
  recipient agency in the performance of any authorized function where
  access to records in this system is declared by the recipient agency
  to be relevant to that function.
  In addition, personal information may be disclosed from this system to
  members of the Judicial Branch of the Federal Government in response
  to a specific request, or at the initiation of the FBI, where
  disclosure appears relevant to the authorized function of the
  recipient judicial office or court system. An example would be where
  an individual is being considered for employment by a Federal judge.
  Information in this system may be disclosed as a routine use to any
  state or local government agency directly engaged in the criminal
  justice process, e.g., police, prosecution, penal, probation and
  parole, and the judiciary, where access is directly related to a law
  enforcement function of the recipient agency e.g. in connection with a
  lawful criminal or intelligence investigation, or making a
  determination concerning an individual's suitability for employment as
  a state or local law enforcement employee or concerning a victim's
  compensation under a state statute. Disclosure to a state or local
  government agency, (a) not directly engaged in the criminal justice
  process or (b) for a licensing or regulatory function, is considered
  on an individual basis only under exceptional circumstances, as
  determined by the FBI.
  Information in this system pertaining to the use, abuse or traffic of
  controlled substances may be disclosed as a routine use to federal,
  state or local law enforcement agencies and to licensing or regulatory
  agencies empowered to engage in the institution and prosecution of
  cases before courts and licensing boards in matters relating to
  controlled substances, including courts and licensing boards
  responsible for the licensing or certification of individuals in the
  fields of pharmacy and medicine.
  Information in this system may be disclosed as a routine use in a
  proceeding before a court of adjudicative body, e.g., the Equal
  Employment Opportunity Commission and the Merit Systems Protection
  Board, before which the FBI is authorized to appear, when (a) the FBI
  or any employee thereof in his or her official capacity, or (b) any
  employee in his or her individual capacity where the Department of
  Justice has agreed to represent the employee, or (c) the United
  States, where the FBI determines it is likely to be affected by the
  litigation, is a party to litigation or has an interest in litigation
  and such records are determined by the FBI to be relevant to the
  litigation.
  Information in this system may be disclosed as a routine use to an
  organization or individual in both the public or private sector if
  deemed necessary to elicit information or cooperation from the
  recipient for use by the FBI in the performance of an authorized
  activity. An example would be where the activities of an individual
  are disclosed to a member of the public in order to elicit his/her
  assistance in our apprehension or detection efforts.
  Information in this system may be disclosed as a routine use to an
  organization or individual in both the public or private sector where
  there is reason to believe the recipient is or could become the target
  of a particular criminal activity or conspiracy, to the extent the
  information is relevant to the protection of life or property.
  Information in this system may be disclosed to legitimate agency of a
  foreign government where the FBI determines that the information is
  relevant to that agency's responsibilities, and dissemination serves
  the best interests of the U.S. Government, and where the purpose in
  making the disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the
  information was collected.
  Relevant information may be disclosed from this system to the news
  media and general public where there exists a legitimate public
  interest, e.g., to assist in the location of Federal fugitives, to
  provide notification of arrests, and where necessary for protection
  from imminent threat of life or property. This would include releases
  of information in accordance with 28 CFR 50.2.
  A record relating to an actual or potential civil or criminal
  violation of the copyright statute, Title 17, United States Code, or
  the trademark statutes. Titles 15 and 17, U.S. Code, may be
  disseminated to a person injured by such violation to assist him/her
  in the institution or maintenance of a suit brought under such titles.
  The FBI has received inquiries from private citizens and Congressional
  offices on behalf of constituents seeking assistance in locating
  individuals such as missing children and heirs to estates. Where the
  need is acute, and where it appears FBI files may be the only lead in
  locating the individual, consideration will be given to furnishing
  relevant information to the requester. Information will be provided
  only in those instances where there are reasonable grounds to conclude
  from available information the individual being sought would want the
  information to be furnished, e.g., an heir to a large estate.
  Information with regard to missing children will not be provided where
  they have reached their majority.
  Information contained in this system, may be made available to a
  Member of Congress or staff acting upon the member's behalf when the
  member of staff requests the information in behalf of and at the
  request of the individual who is the subject of the record.
  A record from this system of records may be disclosed as a routine use
  to the National Archives and Records Administration and General
  Services Administration in records management inspections conducted
  under the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906, to the extent that
  legislation governing the records permits.
Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining,
    and disposing of records in the system:
Storage:
  The active main files are maintained in hard copy form and some
  inactive records are maintained on microfilm. Investigative
  information which is maintained in computerized form may be stored in
  memory, on disk storage, on computer tape, or on a computer printed
  listing.
Retrievability:
  The FBI General Index must be searched to determine what information,
  if any, the FBI may have in its files. Index records, or pointers to
  specific FBI files, are created on all manner of subject matters, but
  the predominant type record is the name index record. It should be
  noted the FBI does not index all individuals who furnish information
  or all names developed during the course of an investigation. Only
  that information considered pertinent, relevant, or essential for
  future retrieval, is indexed. In certain major cases, individuals
  interviewed may be indexed to facilitate the administration of the
  investigation. The FBI has automated that portion of its index
  containing the most recent information--15 years for criminal related
  matters and 30 years for intelligence and other type matters.
  Automation will not change the ``Central Records System''; it will
  only facilitate more economic and expeditious access to the main
  files. Searches against the automated records are accomplished on a
  ``batch off-line'' basis for certain submitting agencies where the
  name search requests conform to FBI specified formats and also in an
  ``on-line'' mode with the use of video display terminals for other
  requests. The FBI will not permit any organization, public or private,
  outside the FBI to have direct access to the FBI indices system. All
  searches against the indices data base will be performed on site
  within FBI space by FBI personnel with the assistance of the automated
  procedures, where feasible. Automation of the various FBI field office
  indices was completed in 1989. This automation initiative has been on
  a ``day-one'' basis. This indices system points to specific files
  within a given field office. Additionally, certain complicated
  investigative matters may be supported by specialized computer systems
  or by individual microcomputers. Indices created in these environments
  are maintained as part of the particular computer system and
  accessible only through the system or through printed listings of the
  indices. Full text retrieval is used in a limited number of cases as
  an investigative technique. It is not part of the normal search
  process and is not used as a substitute for the General Index or
  computer indices mentioned above.
  The FBI will transfer historical records to the National Archives
  consistent with 44 U.S.C. 2103. No record of individuals or subject
  matter will be retained for transfered files; however, a record of the
  file numbers will be retained to provide full accountability of FBI
  files and thus preserve the integrity of the filing system.
Safeguards:
  Records are maintained in a restricted area and are accessed only by
  agency personnel. All FBI employees receives a complete background
  investigation prior to being hired. All employees are cautioned about
  divulging confidential information or any information contained in FBI
  files. Failure to abide by this provision violates Department of
  Justice regulations and may violate certain statutes providing maximum
  severe penalties of a ten thousand dollar fine or 10 years
  imprisonment or both. Employees who resign or retire are also
  cautioned about divulging information acquired in the jobs. Registered
  mail is used to transmit routine hard copy records between field
  offices. Highly classified records are hand carried by Special Agents
  or personnel of the Armed Forces Courier Service. Highly classified or
  sensitive privacy information, which is electronically transmitted
  between field offices, is transmitted in encrypted form to prevent
  interception and interpretation. Information transmitted in teletype
  form is placed in the main files of both the receiving and
  transmitting field offices. Field offices involved in certain
  complicated investigative matters may be provided with on-line access
  to the duplicative computerized information which is maintained for
  them on disk storage in the FBI Computer Center in Washington, D.C.,
  and this computerized data is also transmitted in encrypted form.
Retention and disposal:
  As the result of an extensive review of FBI records conducted by NARA,
  records evaluated as historical and permanent will be transferred to
  the National Archives after established retention periods and
  administrative needs of the FBI have elapsed. As deemed necessary,
  certain records may be subject to restricted examination and usage, as
  provided by 44 U.S.C. section 2104.
  FBI record disposition programs relevant to this System are conducted
  in accordance with the FBI Records Retention Plan and Disposition
  Schedule which was approved by the Archivist of the United States and
  the U.S. District Court, District of Columbia. Investigative,
  applicant and administrative records which meet the destruction
  criteria will be destroyed after 20 or 30 years at FBI Headquarters
  and after 1, 5, 10 or 20 years in FBI Field Offices. Historical
  records will be transferred to the National Archives after 30 or 50
  years, contingent upon investigative and administrative needs. The
  administrative indices and listings described within this System were
  appraised separately and disposition authority established. (Job No.

System manager(s) and address:
  Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Washington, DC 20535.
Notification procedure:
  Same as above.
Record access procedures:
  A request for access to a record from the system shall be made in
  writing with the envelope and the letter clearly marked ``Privacy
  Access Request''. Include in the request your full name, complete
  address, date of birth, place of birth, notarized signature, and other
  identifying data you may wish to furnish to assist in making a proper
  search of our records. Also include the general subject matter of the
  document of its file number. The requester will also provide a return
  address for transmitting the information. Requests for access to
  information maintained at FBI Headquarters must be addressed to the
  Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Washington, DC 20535.
  Requests for information maintained at FBI field divisions or Legal
  Attaches must be made separately and addressed to the specific field
  division or Legal Attache listed in the appendix to this system
  notice.
Contesting record procedures:
  Individuals desiring to contest or amend information maintained in the
  system should also direct their request to the Director, Federal
  Bureau of Investigation, Washington, DC 20535, stating clearly and
  concisely what information is being contested, the reasons for
  contesting it, and the proposed amendment to the information sought.
Record source categories:
  The FBI, by the very nature and requirement to investigate violations
  of law within its investigative jurisdiction and its responsibility
  for the internal security of the United States, collects information
  from a wide variety of sources. Basically, it is the result of
  investigative efforts and information furnished by other Government
  agencies, law enforcement agencies, and the general public,
  informants, witnesses, and public source material.
Systems exempted from certain provisions of the act:
  The Attorney General has exempted this system from subsections (c)(3),
  (d), (e) (1) (2) and (3), (e)(4) (G) and (H), (e)(8) (f), (g), of the
  Privacy Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j) and (k). Rules have been
  promulgated in accordance with the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553 (b),
  (c) and (e).
