[AAG/A Order No. 147-98]

 
Privacy Act of 1974; Removal of a System of Records

    Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 
552a), the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), Department of 
Justice, is removing Subsystem K., entitled ``Microfilmed Manifest 
Records,'' from its ``Immigration and Naturalization Service Index 
System, Justice/INS-001.'' (Justice/INS-001 was most recently published 
on October 5, 1993 (58 FR 51847).
    The removal of Subsystem K. is part of a long-term review 
initiative of the INS-001 system of records--which includes a number of 
subsystems--in an effort to improve the reporting accuracy thereof. 
During this ongoing review, INS found that the information identified 
in Subsystem K. was misidentified initially as Privacy Act records, and 
thus was erroneously reported as part of the INS-001 system. 
Information in the Subsystem is not retrieved by personal identifier; 
rather, the information consists of a manifest from which information 
is retrieved by date of entry, port of entry, ships name, and/or 
aircraft identification code.
    In addition, not all of these records remain in the custody of INS. 
Records dated up through December 1982 have been accepted by the 
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for permanent 
retention; only those records dated January 1983 to the present have 
been retained by INS.
    Accordingly, requests for access to these records should be made 
under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and addressed as follows:
    For records dated up through December 1982, address any access 
requests to the NARA, Attention FOIA Officer, Seventh Street and 
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20408. For records dated 
January 1983 to the present, address any access requests to the FOIA/
Privacy Act Officer at the INS Nebraska Service Center, 850 S. Street, 
Lincoln, NE 68508.

    Dated: January 5, 1998.
Stephen R. Colgate,
Assistant Attorney General for Administration.
