The Office of Justice Programs announced a notice of a new system of records, BJS Statistical Data (JUSTICE/OJP-017), covering data collected under 34 U.S.C. 10132. The agency proposes to exempt this system from specific Privacy Act provisions to align with confidentiality requirements of 34 U.S.C. 10231, 34 U.S.C. 30303, and the statistical‑only use mandate of 34 U.S.C. 10134. The exemption also supports authorized uses under PREA and the Death in Custody Reporting Act.
Why it matters: The proposal would limit privacy‑act protections for a federal statistical system, affecting how personal data are accessed and used.
