![]() ![]() The IAFIS houses the largest collection of digital representations of fingerprint images, features from the digital fingerprint images, and criminal history information in the world. To meet the growing demand for automated fingerprint identification, the FBI developed and implemented the IAFIS in 1999. These systems include the IAFIS/NGI, the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), and the national criminal history record index known as the Interstate Identification Index (III). The CJIS Division provides authorized users identification, verification, information, investigation, notification, and data management services via a family of automated systems and infrastructure comprising a “System of Services” (SoS). The FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division was established to serve as the FBI’s focal point and central repository for carrying out the above responsibilities. Currently authorized purposes include criminal justice (such as identifying criminals, locating criminal history record information (CHRI), enhancing the safety of law enforcement personnel, and solving crimes), national security, homeland protection, employment and military service suitability, licensing, security assessments, visa processing, immigration, naturalization, responding to emergencies and disasters, and other humanitarian assistance. Pursuant to the same authority, the FBI exchanges such records and derived information with authorized personnel at Federal, State, local, tribal, foreign, and international criminal and noncriminal justice agencies, and with authorized agencies, organizations, entities, and persons in either the public or private sector, domestic or foreign, where such disclosures may promote, assist, or otherwise serve law enforcement and other lawful purposes. Pursuant to the authority provided by 28 USC § 534, the FBI acquires, collects, classifies, and maintains identification, criminal identification, crime, and other records. The privacy impact of these enhancements is described below. ![]() ![]() ![]() 2īiometric interoperability will result in: 1) enhanced access to, and in some cases acquisition of, the IAFIS/NGI information by the IDENT and its users and 2) the reciprocal enhanced access to, and in some cases acquisition of, the IDENT information by the IAFIS/NGI and its users. 1 The IAFIS/NGI is a component of the FBI Privacy Act system of records currently titled “Fingerprint Identification Records System” (FIRS) (JUSTICE/FBI-009) (64 Federal Register (FR) 52343, 52347 66 FR 33558 70 FR 7513, 7517 72 FR 3410). This Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) addresses the establishment of biometric interoperability between the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS)/Next Generation Identification (NGI) of the Department of Justice (DOJ)/Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT) of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT) Program. ![]()
