      Subpart E_Exemption of Records Systems Under the Privacy Act
 
Sec. 16.78  Exemption of the Special Counsel for Immigration-Related, Unfair 

Employment Practices Systems.

    (a) The following system of records is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 
552a(c)(3) and (d).

    (1) Central Index File and Associated Records, JUSTICE/OSC-001.


These exemptions apply to the extent that information in this system is 
subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2).
    (b) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the 
following reasons:
    (1) From subsection (c)(3) because the release of the disclosure 
accounting would permit the subject of an investigation to obtain 
valuable information concerning the nature of that investigation. This 
would permit record subjects to impede the investigation, e.g., destroy 
evidence, intimidate potential witnesses, or flee the area to avoid 
inquiries.
    (2) From subsection (d) because access to the records might 
compromise ongoing investigations, reveal confidential informants, or 
constitute unwarranted invasions of the personal privacy of third 
parties who are involved in a certain investigation.
