Department of Justice 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Justice (the Department) is amending Title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations to authorize access to FBI- maintained criminal justice information systems for the conduct of background checks for the purpose of issuing identification documents to retired law enforcement officers.

The Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Department of Justice, is adopting as a final rule, without change, an interim final rule with request for comments that OJP published on January 15, 2004, at 69 FR 2298. That interim rule updated and clarified what the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), a component of OJP, considered to be an eligible ``Indian tribe,'' and what the BJA considered to be ``construction,'' under the Grants for Correctional Facilities on Tribal Lands Program. OJP did not receive any comments.
