SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is to announce a meeting of the

Compact Act of 1998 (Compact). Thus far, the federal government and 
fourteen states are parties to the Compact which governs the exchange 
of criminal history records for licensing, employment, and similar

establishment of a cooperative Federal State system to exchange such 
records.
    The United States Attorney General appointed fifteen persons from 
federal and state agencies to serve on the Compact Council. The Council 
will prescribe system rules and procedures for the effective and proper 
operation of the Interstate Identification Index system.
    Matters for discussion are expected to include: (1) Proposed 
Amendments to the Delayed Fingerprint Submission Requirement Rule, (2) 
State/FBI Qualification Requirements and Audit Criterion for 
Participation in the National Fingerprint File, (3) Status Report on 
the National Fingerprint Applicant Check Study, (4) Discussion on 
Privatization Initiatives and the Development of Security/Management 
Control Standards, (5) Proposed Sanctions Rule, (6) Proposed 
Improvements to National Fingerprint File Responses for Electronic 
Fingerprint Based Requests for Criminal History Records Checks.
