comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Justice (Department or DOJ), Federal Bureau
of Investigation (FBI), is extending the comment period for its
proposal to modify an existing FBI system of records notice titled,
``Fingerprint Identification Records System (FIRS),'' JUSTICE/FBI-009,
which would be retitled, ``The Next Generation Identification (NGI)
System,'' JUSTICE/FBI-009, published in the Federal Register on May 5,
2016 (81 FR 27284). The original comment period is scheduled to expire
on June 6, 2016. The Department is now extending the time period for
public comments by 30 days. The updated comment period is scheduled to
expire on July 6, 2016. This action will allow interested persons
additional time to analyze the proposal and prepare their comments.
DATES: Comments on the notice published May 5, 2016 (81 FR 27284) must
be submitted on or before July 6, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments to the Department of Justice, ATTN: Privacy

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 5, 2016, the Department requested
comments on its proposal to modify an existing FBI system of records
notice titled, ``Fingerprint Identification Records System (FIRS),''
JUSTICE/FBI-009, and its proposal to amend the Department's Privacy Act
regulations by establishing an exemption for records in this system of
records from certain provisions of the Privacy Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552a(j) and (k).
Both the notice of a modified system of records notice and notice
of proposed rulemaking for this system of records originally provided
that comments must be received by June 6, 2016. The Department has
received requests to extend these comment periods. The Department
believes that extending the comment periods would be appropriate in
order to provide the public additional time to consider and comment on
the proposals addressed in these notices. Therefore, the Department is
extending both public comment periods for 30 days, until July 6, 2016.
Elsewhere in the Federal Register, the Department is extending the
comment period for the accompanying notice of proposed rulemaking.
Dated: June 1, 2016.
Erika Brown Lee,
Chief Privacy and Civil Liberties Officer, U.S. Department of Justice.
