Department of Justice November 21, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), a component within the United States Department of Justice (DOJ or Department), is finalizing without changes its Privacy Act exemption regulations for the system of records titled, Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO) Case Management System (CMS), JUSTICE/EOIR-002, which were published as a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on August 16, 2019. Specifically, the Department's regulations will exempt the records maintained in JUSTICE/EOIR-002 from one or more provisions of the Privacy Act. The exemptions are necessary to ensure the integrity of investigatory and adjudicatory records in cases before OCAHO. The Department received two comments and neither comments were substantive.
