ABSTRACT: The
Case Management System (CMS) contains information on actual or potential
cases under the jurisdiction or consideration of the Environment and Natural
Resources Division (ENRD). In addition, the CMS selectively contains information
on ongoing or potential United States Attorneys' cases in which the ENRD
plays a monitoring role. The CMS contains information such as case titles,
court filing dates statutes at issue, and names of Division personnel assigned
to matters. The CMS also contains information on the time spent by Division
staff on all Division matters.
PURPOSE:The purpose of this system is to maintain identifying information about
all actual or potential cases and related matters under the jurisdiction
or consideration of the ENRD. The automated case tracking and timekeeping
function of this system are maintained to monitor, manage and evaluate
the Division's litigation and related activities.
ACCESS CONSTRAINTS: All ENRD employees are allowed access
to the CMS after appropriate training. Access is password protected and
integrated into the Justice Consolidated Office Automation Network. Some
information in the system is not available to all employees because it
is protected under the Privacy Act or concerns criminal proceedings or
other privileged matters. Persons outside the ENRD are not allowed access.
USE CONSTRAINTS: Users of the CMS are restricted to only
those functions and data necessary to perform assigned tasks.
AGENCY PROGRAM: The Environment and Natural Resources Division
has responsibility for a broad variety of affirmative and defensive litigation
relating to the protection, use and development of natural resources and
public lands, wildlife protection, Indian rights and claims, cleanup of
hazardous waste sites, acquisition of private property for federal use,
prosecution of environmental crimes, enforcement of environmental laws,
and defense of environmental challenges to government programs and activities.
SOURCES OF DATA: Data contained in the CMS come primarily
from pleadings and other court filings and records, as well as from Division
sources, client agencies, foreign governments, and Federal, State, and
local law enforcement agencies.
