In 2019, the R&A Program was transferred by regulation to the Office of Policy (OP), the part of EOIR that oversees OLAP. EOIR proposes to modify JUSTICE/BIA-002 and to change the system number to JUSTICE/EOIR-004 to reflect the transfer of the R&A Program to OP. The last publication of the complete system of records notice was in 1980, prior to the issuance of OMB A-108. As such, EOIR is re-publishing the System of Records Notice for this system, in full. Additionally, the agency's Access EOIR initiative gave rise to the modernization of the Recognition and Accreditation Program application process through the development of the Recognition and Accreditation Access (RAA) system allowing prospective applicants to apply online for recognition or accreditation and online account management of an approved organization. Modified JUSTICE/EOIR-004 captures this modernization effort.","document_number":"2025-05846","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/04/17/2025-05846/privacy-act-of-1974-systems-of-records","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-04-17/pdf/2025-05846.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-05846.pdf?1744810150","publication_date":"2025-04-17","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE","name":"Justice Department","id":268,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/justice-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/268","parent_id":null,"slug":"justice-department"}],"excerpts":"policies, including the Component's automated systems <span class=\"match\">security</span> and <span class=\"match\">access</span> policies, and <span class=\"match\">access</span> to such information is limited to Department personnel, contractors, and other personnel who have an official <span class=\"match\">need</span> for <span class=\"match\">access</span> in order to perform their duties.
