JABS is an important Department of Justice (Department) information sharing project among its law enforcement components: Bureau of Prisons (BOP), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). Additionally, the customs and border security functions within the Border and Transportation Security (BTS) Directorate of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are using JABS. The JABS Program directly supports the President’s Homeland Security initiative by automating the booking process and providing a secure mechanism to rapidly and positively identify an individual based on a fingerprint submission to the IAFIS. The JABS Program is a multi-agency initiative that is not restricted to Department of Justice users. In June 2004, the USMS added the Inter-Agency booking functionality to their Automated Booking System (ABS) to provide automated submission of VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:11 Sep 06, 2006 Jkt 208001 booking packages for Federal law enforcement agencies that routinely bring their suspects to the USMS for booking. The strategic goal of the JABS Program is to facilitate electronic access to IAFIS for any Federal law enforcement agency/office that has a requirement to submit fingerprints to the FBI. Title 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11) provide that the public be given a 30day period in which to comment on the revised system of records. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which has oversight responsibility under the Act, requires that it be given a 40-day period in which to review the system notice. Therefore, please submit any comments by October 17, 2006. The public, OMB, and the Congress are invited to send written comments to Mary Cahill, Management and Planning Staff, Justice Management Division, Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530 (Room 1400, National Place Building), (202) 307–1823. A description of the system of records is provided below. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), DOJ has provided a report on the revised system to OMB and the Congress. Dated: August 29, 2006. Lee J. Lofthus, Acting Assistant Attorney General for Administration. JUSTICE/DOJ–005 SYSTEM NAME: Nationwide Joint Automated Booking System (JABS). SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: Sensitive but Unclassified. SYSTEM LOCATION: JABS Program Management Office, Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530 with data collection sites in multiple federal locations. CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM: Alleged criminal offenders who have been detained, arrested, booked, or incarcerated. The remainder of this notice will refer to all persons covered by the System as ‘‘alleged criminal offender’’ or ‘‘arrestee’’. CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: Records may include certain generic or ‘‘common’’ data elements which have been collected by an arresting federal agency at its automated booking station (ABS). An agency may book an alleged criminal offender on behalf of another agency which performed the arrest. PO 00000 Frm 00063 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 52821 Such common data (certain data elements) have been identified by law enforcement as those case and biographical data routinely collected by the law enforcement community during the booking process, e.g., name, date and place of birth, citizenship, hair and eye color, height and weight, occupation, social security number, place, date and time of arrest and jail location, charge, disposition, any other pertinent information related to known activities relevant or unique to the subject. Finally, such data may include electronic fingerprints, mugshots, and pictures of applicable scars, marks, and tattoos. AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 8 U.S.C. 1324 and 1357(f) and (g); 28 U.S.C. 534, 564, 566; 5 U.S.C. 301 and 44 U.S.C. 3101; 18 U.S.C. 3621, 4003, 4042, 4082, 4086; 26 U.S.C. 7608; and Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 (Pub. L. 91– 513), 21 U.S.C. 801 et seq. and Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1973. PURPOSE: Nationwide JABS enables the conduct of automated booking procedures by participating law enforcement organizations and provides an automated capability to transmit fingerprint and image data to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS), Justice/ FBI–009 Fingerprint Identification Records Systems (FIRS). JABS maintains a repository of common offender data elements for identification of arrestees by participating federal law enforcement organizations. JABS eliminates repetitive booking of offenders for a single arrest and booking, and thereby eliminates the need for duplicate bookings, i.e., the collection of much the same data by multiple agencies in prisoner processing activities involving such agencies from arrest through incarceration. In addition, JABS standardized booking data elements, enabling cross-agency sharing of booking information, enhancing cooperation among law enforcement agencies, and reducing the threat to law enforcement officials and the public by facilitating the rapid and positive identification of offenders. ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: Where necessary and/or appropriate, the DOJ may disclose relevant information from the JABS repository and may allow electronic access as follows: E:\FR\FM\07SEN1.SGM 07SEN1
