Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130, notice is hereby given that the Department of Justice (DOJ or Department) proposes to establish a new Department-wide system of records notice, entitled Debt Collection Enforcement System, JUSTICE/DOJ-016. The purpose of publishing this Department-wide system notice is to reflect the Department's consolidation of its multiple debt collection systems, which were previously maintained in various individual DOJ components, into a single, centralized system. The new system will be used by all DOJ components that currently have debt collection and enforcement responsibilities. The Department's consolidation of its debt collection systems enables the Department to improve data integrity, facilitate communication among DOJ components, support Department-wide debt collection initiatives, provide for better accountability and timely reporting, and centralize administrative functions and payment processing. Because this system notice reflects the consolidation of existing DOJ debt collection and enforcement systems, this notice replaces, and the Department hereby removes the following system notices previously published by individual DOJ components: 1.

Also, this notice now covers debt collection records that previously have been part of or included in the following systems of records notices: 1. Antitrust Division, ``Antitrust Information Management Information System (AMIS)Monthly Report,'' JUSTICE/ATR-006 (63 FR 8659, Feb. 20, 1998) and ``Antitrust Division Case Cards,'' JUSTICE/ ATR-007 (60 FR 52692, Oct. 10, 1995); 2.
