SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of the Treasury proposes to modify the Treasury systems of records notices, as identified below, to include one new routine use permitting disclosure to the United States Department of Justice for purposes of the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database (the "NLEAD"). On May 25, 2022, the President issued Executive Order 14074, Advancing Effective, Accountable Policing and Criminal Justice Practices to Enhance Public Trust and Public Safety (the "Executive Order"). Section 5 of the Executive Order directs the Attorney General to establish the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database as "a centralized repository of official records documenting instances of law enforcement officer misconduct as well as commendations and awards." As required by the Executive Order, in developing the NLEAD, the Department of Justice regularly consulted with other federal law enforcement agencies, at both leadership and staff levels. This new routine use authorizes disclosure to the Department of Justice pursuant to the Executive Order.
Treasury has provided a report of this system of records to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and OMB, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) and OMB Circular A-108, "Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act," dated December 23, 2016.
Ryan Law,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Privacy, Transparency, and Records.
The NLEAD routine use is being added to the following Treasury systems of records notices. The addition of this new routine use disclosure to each of the SORNs referenced below is consistent with the purpose(s) for which the information was collected because these SORNs already include a routine use for making similar disclosures directly to federal agencies upon request.
