(1) ID-N04385-1.

Sysname. IG Investigatory System. Exemption. Portions of this system of records are exempt from the following subsections of 5 U.S.C. 552a: (c)(3), (c)(4), (d), (e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4) (G) through (I), (e)(5), (e)(8), (f), and (g). Authority. 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2).

Reasons. Granting individuals access to information collected and maintained by these activities relating to the enforcement of criminal laws could interfere with orderly investigations, the orderly administration of justice, and might enable suspects to avoid detection and apprehension. Disclosures of this information could result in the concealment, destruction, or fabrication of evidence, and possibly jeopardize the safety and wellbeing of informants, witnesses and their families. Such disclosures could also reveal and render ineffectual investigatory techniques and methods and sources of information and could result in the invasion of the personal privacy of individuals only incidentally related to an investigation.

The exemption of the individual's right of access to his/her records, and the reasons therefore, necessitate the exemption of this system of records from the provisions of the other cited sections of 5 U.S.C. 552a.

(j) Naval Clemency and Parole Board.

Exemption. Portions of this system of records are exempt from the following subsections of 5 U.S.C. 552a: (c)(4), (d), (e)(4)(G), and (f).
