The Office of the Pardon Attorney within the U.S. Department of Justice announced a notice of a new system of records called the Firearms Rights Restoration Electronic Records Database (FRRERD). The agency proposes to exempt this system from certain provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 to protect confidential information related to firearms rights restoration. Public comments are being solicited until November 6, 2026.
Why it matters: The proposal could limit individuals' access to their own records by creating a privacy Act exemption for a law‑enforcement database.
