Abstract: The "External Repository Survey" is essential to the mission of the FBI CJIS Division, Biometric Services Section (BSS) because the collection of data from the "External Repository Survey" will assist the FBI in determining whether external partner systems are sufficiently accurate for the FBI CJIS Division, BSS's use in support of active FBI investigations.

Emergency Justfication: The "External Repository Survey" is necessary, because it is the only way to achieve compliance with the request for information from the United States House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the Government Accountability Office. This request for information was not previously assigned/delegated to the FBI CJIS Division. The CJIS Division must begin gathering the necessary information to collect information from external partner agencies operating face recognition databases performing searches on behalf of the FBI CJIS Division BSS in support of FBI investigations. By collecting this information, the FBI CJIS Division BSS will be able to determine whether the external systems are sufficiently accurate for the FBI's use. This canvas for responsive information will also allow the FBI to provide complete and accurate information to members of Congress, the Government Accountability Office, and the American public. ·This collection must take place at the earliest opportunity to meet the July 2019 deadline.
