The FBI Has Improved Its Fingerprint

Identification Service





In October 1981 the FBI suspended for a
year fingerprint identification services for
banking institutions and State and local
employment and licensing agencies--groups
it was not legally required to serve. This
action was taken to improve processing
times on requests for service from other
identification system users, primarily crim-
inal justice agencies. During the suspension
period the FBI reduced its processing time
for fingerprint identification requests from
about 25 workdays to about 11 workdays
and developed a user fee system and estab-
lished a fee of $12 which would go into
effect when the suspension was lifted.

GAO found that the justification for suspend-
ing services was reasonable and that the
user fee adequately represents the FBI's
estimated costs to provide the service, Also,
the processing time improvement realized
during the suspension has continued for all
users after the suspension was lifted.
