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.

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.

RuleSIGNIFICANT · E.O. 12866Homeland Security DepartmentJustice DepartmentExecutive Office for Immigration Review
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.

Proposed RuleJustice DepartmentDrug Enforcement Administration
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.

Proposed RuleJustice DepartmentDrug Enforcement Administration
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.
