Privacy Act of 1974; Implementation Link: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/10/15/2026-21063/privacy-act-of-1974-implementation Sub: Justice Department Content: In the Notice section of today's Federal Register, the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), a component within the United States Department of Justice (DOJ or Department), has published a notice of a new system of records titled "Fraud and Abuse Prevention Program Records" and numbered JUSTICE/EOIR-006. This system of records is exempt from U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) and (d) pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (k)(2). EOIR proposes to exempt this system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy Act in order to protect law enforcement sensitive materials maintained in the system. For the reasons provided below, the Department proposes to amend its Privacy Act regulations by exempting records in this system from certain provisions of the Privacy Act. Public comment is invited. Title: 2. Privacy Act of 1974; Systems of Records Link: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/10/15/2026-21062/privacy-act-of-1974-systems-of-records Sub: Justice Department Content: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-108, notice is hereby given that the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), a component within the United States Department of Justice (DOJ or Department), proposes to develop a new system of records notice titled "Fraud and Abuse Prevention Program Records," and numbered JUSTICE/EOIR-006. This system of records assists the EOIR Fraud and Abuse Prevention Program (Fraud Program) in receiving, tracking, and managing complaints of suspected immigration fraud, abuse, and unauthorized practice of immigration law, and in referring complaints to Federal, state, and local law enforcement and disciplinary authorities when appropriate. Fraud Program records were previously included within a different system of records, JUSTICE/EOIR-001. See 69 FR 16179 (May 11, 2004). However, JUSTICE/EOIR-001 was recently modified and now only partially covers Fraud Program records. See JUSTICE/EOIR-001, Adjudication and Appeal Records of the Office of the Chief Immigration Judge and Board of Immigration Appeals, 90 FR 42265 (Aug. 29, 2025). Accordingly, EOIR proposes to establish a new system of records encompassing all Fraud Program records. Title: 3. Privacy Act of 1974; Implementation Link: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/10/15/2026-21060/privacy-act-of-1974-implementation Sub: Justice Department Content: In the Notice section of today's Federal Register, the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), a component within the United States Department of Justice (DOJ or Department), has published a notice of a new system of records, Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) Statistical Data, JUSTICE/OJP-017, for the statistical data collections that BJS conducts under 34 U.S.C. 10132. In this notice of proposed rulemaking, the OJP proposes to exempt this system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy Act in order to comply with the confidentiality provisions of 34 U.S.C. 10231 and 34 U.S.C. 30303 and the requirement of 34 U.S.C. 10134 that the data are to be used solely for statistical or research purposes. Additionally, data are to be used for authorized purposes under the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA; 44 U.S.C. 3563) and the Death in Custody Reporting Act of 2013 (DCRA; Pub. L. 113-242). Consistent with the data use requirements set forth in 34 U.S.C. 10134, no adverse determinations are made from these records as to any identifiable individual. For the reasons provided below, the Department proposes to amend its Privacy Act regulations by establishing an exemption for records in this system from certain provisions of the Privacy Act. Public comment is invited. Title: 4. Privacy Act of 1974; Systems of Records Link: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/10/15/2026-21055/privacy-act-of-1974-systems-of-records Sub: Justice Department Content: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-108, notice is hereby given that the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), a component within the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ or Department), proposes to develop a new system of records notice titled Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) Statistical Data, JUSTICE/OJP-017. OJP proposes to establish this system of records to support BJS's mission to collect, analyze, publish, and disseminate information on crime, criminal offenders, victims of crime, and the operation of justice at all levels of government. The purpose of this system of records is to maintain the statistical data that BJS collects, acquires, or maintains through questionnaires, surveys, interviews, focus groups, and administrative records to carry out BJS's statistical mission.

Homeland Security Department, Justice Department, Executive Office for Immigration Review Briefing 2026-10-14 Estimated reading time: 5 minutes Title: 1. Imposition and Collection of Civil Penalties for Certain Immigration-Related Violations Link: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/10/14/2026-21024/imposition-and-collection-of-civil-penalties-for-certain-immigration-related-violations Sub: Homeland Security Department, Justice Department, Executive Office for Immigration Review Content: On June 27, 2025, the Departments issued an interim final rule ("IFR") to streamline assessment of civil penalties under the Immigration and Nationality Act ("INA") for aliens who fail to depart during a voluntary departure period, willfully fail or refuse to depart after a final removal order and certain other proscribed activities, or are apprehended while improperly entering or attempting to enter the United States. This final rule addresses comments and finalizes the IFR with one change: it permits acceptance of a late-filed appeal based on documented mail delivery delays that ICE finds were beyond the alien's control. Title: 2. Notice of Lodging of Proposed Fourth Amended Consent Decree Under the Clean Water Act Link: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/10/14/2026-21003/notice-of-lodging-of-proposed-fourth-amended-consent-decree-under-the-clean-water-act Sub: Justice Department Title: 3. Schedules of Controlled Substances: Temporary Placement of 7- Hydroxymitragynine and Mitragynine Pseudoindoxyl Above a Specified Threshold in Schedule I Link: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/10/14/2026-20943/schedules-of-controlled-substances-temporary-placement-of-7–hydroxymitragynine-and-mitragynine Sub: Justice Department, Drug Enforcement Administration Content: The Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is issuing this notice of intent to publish a temporary order to schedule 7-hydroxymitragynine and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl (including their isomers, esters, ethers, salts, and salts of isomers, esters, and ethers, whenever the existence of such isomers, esters, ethers, and salts is possible) when either substance alone, or their combined amount if both are present, is above a specified threshold, in schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Based on a different threshold provided by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in July of 2025, DEA published a notice of intent to temporarily schedule 7-hydroxymitragynine above that lower threshold on July 7, 2026. Additionally, DEA published a temporary order placing mitragynine pseudoindoxyl without a threshold in schedule I of the CSA on August 26, 2026. On October 8, 2026, HHS sent a letter recommending that DEA place of the CSA 7-hydroxymitragynine and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl in schedule I when either substance alone, or their combined amount if both are present, is above a new specified threshold. Based on the October 8, 2026 letter, DEA is issuing this notice of intent. While the new threshold recommended by HHS would permit certain products to remain in the marketplace without being subject to schedule I controls, neither HHS nor DEA has made a finding that these substances are safe to use at below-threshold levels. When a temporary order is issued, it will impose the regulatory controls and administrative, civil, and criminal sanctions applicable to schedule I controlled substances on persons who handle (manufacture, distribute, reverse distribute, import, export, engage in research, conduct instructional activities or chemical analysis with, or possess) or propose to handle 7- hydroxymitragynine and/or mitragynine pseudoindoxyl above the specified threshold. In a separate document contained in this issue of the Federal Register, DEA is withdrawing the July 7, 2026 notice of intent related to 7-hydroxymitragynine. The August 26, 2026 temporary order placing mitragynine pseudoindoxyl in schedule I of the CSA without a threshold remains in effect until either it expires or the new temporary order is published and the previous order is withdrawn, whichever occurs first. Title: 4. Schedules of Controlled Substances: Temporary Placement of MGM-15 and MGM-16 in Schedule I Link: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/10/14/2026-20942/schedules-of-controlled-substances-temporary-placement-of-mgm-15-and-mgm-16-in-schedule-i Sub: Justice Department, Drug Enforcement Administration Content: The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is issuing this notice of intent to publish a temporary order to schedule two 7- hydroxymitragynine-related substances (MGM-15 and MGM-16), including their isomers, esters, ethers, salts, and salts of isomers, esters, and ethers, whenever the existence of such isomers, esters, ethers, and salts is possible, in schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). On August 26, 2026, DEA published a temporary order placing mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15, and MGM-16 in schedule I of the CSA. Today, DEA is providing notice of its intent to publish a new temporary order for MGM-15 and MGM-16 that will maintain the temporary placement of these substances in schedule I of the CSA without change. Separately in this Federal Register, DEA is publishing a notice of intent relating to mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, in response to a letter sent by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) dated October 6, 2026. HHS's letter related only to mitragynine pseudoindoxyl. Therefore, DEA is publishing this notice of intent only for the technical and procedural purpose of distinguishing MGM-15 and MGM-16 from mitragynine pseudoindoxyl. When issued, the temporary scheduling order addressing MGM-15 and MGM-16 will continue to impose the regulatory controls and administrative, civil, and criminal sanctions applicable to schedule I controlled substances on persons who handle (manufacture, distribute, reverse distribute, import, export, engage in research, conduct instructional activities or chemical analysis with, or possess) or propose to handle these two 7-hydroxymitragynine-related substances. The August 26, 2026 temporary order placing these substances in schedule I of the CSA remains in effect until either it expires or the new temporary order is published and the previous order is withdrawn, whichever occurs first.

Justice Department Briefing 2026-07-29 Estimated reading time: 7 minutes 1. Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed eCollection, eComments Requested; Proposed New Collection Request; Title-Suspicious Orders of Controlled Substances Link: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/29/2026-15317/agency-information-collection-activities-proposed-ecollection-ecomments-requested-proposed-new Sub: Justice Department Content: The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Department of Justice (DOJ), will be submitting the following information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 2.

The proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register, 91 FR 25448, on May 8, 2026, allowing a 60-day comment period. This interim notice informs the public that ATF is requesting that OMB extend the existing ICR 1140- 0020 without change. ATF will be publishing the usual second notice for a 30-day public comment period on proposed changes to the ICR thereafter. ATF received comments on the proposed changes to Form 4473 under this ICR that it needs some time to address. In addition, because some of the proposed changes and comments reflect proposed revisions to associated regulations \1\ whose public comment period does not end until a month after the 60-day ICR comment period ended, ATF needs additional time to assess those comments as well. However, the existing ICR is expiring at the end of August and thus does not afford sufficient time before it expires. As a result, ATF is publishing this interim notice to inform the public that it will be requesting that OMB extend the existing ICR without change while it addresses public comments, and will follow up with the normal 30-day notice to complete the PRA renewal process for the ICR's proposed changes. The request to extend the existing ICR is necessary to ensure continuity while ATF considers the public comments, so that federal firearms licensees continue to have a valid form on which to record firearms transactions in accordance with applicable regulations. In the subsequent 30-day notice, ATF will summarize as usual the public comments it received on the ICR's proposed changes, provide responses, and note any changes that might result. The public will have 30 days to then submit comments to OMB on the ICR, as per the usual PRA process. ————————————————————————— 4. Gene M.

Designation of Phenethyl Halides as List I Chemicals Link: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/09/2026-13825/designation-of-phenethyl-halides-as-list-i-chemicals Sub: Justice Department, Drug Enforcement Administration Content: The Drug Enforcement Administration is proposing the control of phenethyl halides as list I chemicals under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Phenethyl halides are important to the illicit manufacture of fentanyl, as well as fentanyl analogues, and fentanyl- related substances as they are often used in synthetic routes to manufacture these substances. Further, in the respective synthetic routes in which they are used to manufacture fentanyl, fentanyl analogues, and fentanyl-related substances, various phenethyl halides, such as phenethyl bromide and phenethyl chloride, can be substituted for each other. If finalized, the proposed rule would subject handlers of phenethyl halides to the chemical regulatory provisions of the CSA and its implementing regulations. This proposed rulemaking does not establish a threshold for domestic and international transactions of phenethyl halides. As such, all transactions of phenethyl halides regardless of size or concentration, shall be regulated and would be subject to control under the CSA.

Currently, applicants must submit 2″ x 2″ passport-style photographs and either one or two fingerprint cards, depending on the application type. ATF proposes that all applicants, whether individuals or responsible persons (“RPs”) for entity applicants, could instead submit a copy of a photo ID, and that individuals and Gun Control Act RPs would submit just one fingerprint card. RPs under the National Firearms Act would submit one fingerprint card only if needed to facilitate a background check. 4.

ATF also proposes to amend manufacturer registration requirements to include a provision granting relief to manufacturers from registering firearms they manufacture for the U.S. Government (“USG”). In conjunction with this, ATF is proposing a new provision permitting manufacturers to register such firearms “late”–after the existing regulatory window for registering manufactured firearms–if they fall out of USG contract. 5.
