DOJ/FBI RIN: 1110-AA25 Publication ID: Fall 2008 
Title: Inclusion of Nonserious Offense Identification Records 
Abstract: This rule amends FBI regulations defining the offenses that may serve as the basis for maintaining fingerprints and criminal history record information (CHRI) in its criminal history record information systems. The relevant FBI information systems include the Fingerprint Identification Record System (FIRS), which maintains fingerprints records, and the Interstate Identification Index (III) System, which maintains fingerprint-supported CHRI. The amendment broadens the definition of includable offenses to permit the retention of information relating to currently excluded non-serious offenses (NSOs) as well as information relating to "serious and/or significant adult or juvenile offenses." The revised regulation will permit the retention and exchange of fingerprints and CHRI relating to NSOs when provided by the submitting jurisdiction for retention by the FBI. Such NSO information is currently maintained only at the State and local levels. The change allows for the more uniform collection of CHRI at the Federal level. It establishes more uniform sharing of such information among the States by allowing States to make NSO information available for national criminal history record searches--for both criminal justice and non-criminal justice purposes--by submitting such information for retention by the FBI.
