What the agency says

In accordance with subsections (j)(2) and (k)(2) of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (the Privacy Act or the Act), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS or Department) is proposing to exempt a new system of records maintained by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), System No. 09-25-0224, "NIH Police Records," from certain requirements of the Act. The new system of records will cover criminal and non-criminal law enforcement investigatory material maintained by the NIH Division of Police, a component of NIH which performs criminal law enforcement as its principal function. The exemptions are necessary and appropriate to protect the integrity of law enforcement proceedings and records compiled in the course of NIH Division of Police activities, prevent disclosure of investigative techniques, and protect the identity of confidential sources involved in those activities. Elsewhere in the Federal Register, HHS/NIH has published a System of Records Notice (SORN) for System No. 09-25-0224 for public notice and comment which describes the new system of records in more detail.
