Pursuant to the Privacy Act of
1974 and Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Circular No. A–108,
notice is hereby given that the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a
component within the United States
Department of Justice (DOJ or
Department), proposes to modify an
existing system of records notice titled
The Next Generation Identification
(NGI) System, JUSTICE/FBI–009. The
FBI proposes to add iris images as
another biometric in NGI, include
fingerprints voluntarily submitted to
NGI by individuals appealing firearms
denials or seeking a review of their NGI
identity records, include the testing
environments of NGI, and clarify the
biographic records in NGI.
DATES: In accordance with 5 U.S.C.
552a(e)(4) and (11), the public has 30
days in which to comment on the
routine uses, described below. Please
submit any comments by November 8,
2019.
ADDRESSES: The public, OMB, and
Congress are invited to submit any
comments by mail to the United States
Department of Justice, Office of Privacy
and Civil Liberties, ATTN: Privacy
Analyst, 145 N St. NE, Suite 8W–300,
Washington, DC 20530; by facsimile at
202–307–0693; or by email at
privacy.compliance@usdoj.gov. To
ensure proper handling, please
reference the above CPCLO Order No.
on your correspondence.

(CJIS) Division, 1000 Custer Hollow

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NGI
SORN is being republished due to
several changes since its last publication
in May of 2016. The following updates
are being made: (1) The inclusion of iris
images as a biometric; (2) the inclusion
of individuals who voluntarily provide
fingerprints and associated information
in order to appeal firearm denials; (3)
the inclusion of individuals who
voluntarily provide fingerprints and
associated information in order to
obtain their own identity history

records; (4) the inclusion of data in the
testing environments of NGI; and (5) the
clarification that some identity records
contain only biographic information.
Iris images: As described in the
previously published NGI SORN, one of
the significant changes from the FBI’s
predecessor system, the Integrated
Automated Fingerprint Identification
System (IAFIS), was the implementation
of NGI’s additional biometric services.
While IAFIS had been primarily a
fingerprint system, NGI now offers the
retention and searching of additional
biometrics, such as facial images and
palm prints. NGI continues to rely on
ten-print fingerprints for positive
identification but its identity records
may contain multi-modal biometrics to
augment those fingerprints and
associated biographic information. For
the past few years, the FBI has
conducted a pilot to determine if iris
images would be an appropriate and
useful addition to the NGI operational
environment. The FBI has coordinated
with criminal justice and scientific
partners to determine the efficacy of
using iris images for biometric
identification purposes. Based on the
pilot findings, the FBI has determined
that iris matching is highly accurate;
therefore, the addition of iris images in
the NGI operational environment would
be of great value. The FBI plans to
permit authorized users of NGI to enroll
and search iris images in the near
future. Although the May 2016 NGI
SORN used the terms ‘‘biometrics’’ and
‘‘biometric images’’ which would
include iris images, in the interest of
clarity, the FBI has decided to
specifically add ‘‘iris images’’ to all
appropriate categories of individuals
and categories of records in this SORN.
Firearms denials: In accordance with
the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention
Act of 1993, the FBI uses the National
Instant Criminal Background Check
System (NICS) to conduct background
checks on potential buyers of firearms.
If the FBI denies the transfer of the
firearm based on federal or state
prohibiting criteria, the individual has a
right, per federal statute, to request the
reason for the denial and to appeal that
denial. An individual may voluntarily
provide fingerprints to the FBI in
support of the appeal. The FBI has been
conducting NICS background checks for
decades; however, with the passage of
the Fix NICS Act in 2018, it sought ways
to expedite the appeal process. If an
individual submits fingerprints, the FBI
now conducts electronic searches of the
fingerprints and associated biographic
information in NGI to locate relevant
criminal history. The fingerprints and
other personally identifiable
