This system of records is being updated to clarify categories of records, add the Password Issuance and Control System Identification Number as a retrievable data element, update the retention period for records maintained in CIDR; update routine use E and add routine use F to comply with new policy contained in Office of Management and Budget Memorandum M-17-12; update the record source categories, update the system manager information; and explain limitations set by law to the exemptions claimed for this system.
