1. BASIC INFORMATION

Purpose of the Funding

The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) is committed to advancing work that furthers the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) mission to keep our country safe and secure and uphold the rule of law and protect the rights of American citizens. OJP provides federal leadership, funding, and other critical resources to directly support law enforcement, combat violent crime, protect American children, provide services to American crime victims, and address public safety challenges, including human trafficking and the opioid crisis.

This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the BJA FY 2026 Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Program. This opportunity supports states and units of local government, including tribal governments that perform law enforcement functions, in creating and expanding efforts to protect the safety and security of federal judges by preventing the release of covered information about at-risk individuals and their immediate family members to ensure federal judges are able to administer justice fairly without fear of personal reprisal from individuals affected by the decisions they make in the course of carrying out their public duties.

Many federal judges' personal information resides in state and local government records, databases, and registries that are publicly accessible and searchable and outside federal control. Grants to state and local entities support federal-state-local partnerships to protect federal judicial officers and their families.

Funds awarded under this grant program must be used exclusively for protecting federal judges and their immediate family members as defined in statute. Applicants that have existing judicial protection programs should clearly delineate how grant funds will be used solely for federal judges and describe cost allocation methodologies to ensure appropriate separation of expenses. Expenses that also benefit other judges are acceptable, provided that any costs specific to state, local, or tribal judges are separately tracked and are not charged to this grant.

This NOFO provides two categories of funding:

• Category 1: Program Implementation

Category 1 will support applicants establishing new programs to protect the safety and security of federal judges by preventing the release of covered information about at-risk individuals and their immediate family members.

• Category 2: Program Enhancement

Category 2 will support applicants with existing programs seeking to expand or enhance capabilities to protect the safety and security of federal judges by preventing the release of covered information about at-risk individuals and their immediate family members.

U.S. Department of Justice | Office of Justice Programs | Bureau of Justice Assistance | 3

Within each category, applicants can tailor their requests to the scope and scale of their proposed activities, which may mean requesting less than the maximum amount of that category.

Allowable Uses of Funds

(a) Creation of Redaction/Removal Programs: Developing new programs to redact or remove judges' covered information, upon the request of an at-risk individual, from public records in state agencies. This specifically includes hiring third-party vendors or contractors to redact or remove judges' covered information from public records.

(b) Expansion of Existing Protection Programs: Expanding existing programs that the state or local jurisdiction may have already enacted in an effort to protect judges' covered information.

(c) Development or Improvement of Protocols and Policies: Creating new or improving existing protocols, procedures, and policies to prevent the unauthorized release of judges' covered information.

(d) Database and Registry Modification: Defraying the costs of modifying or improving existing databases and registries to ensure that judges' covered information is protected from release. This may include technical upgrades, software modifications, and system reconfigurations.

(e) Confidential Opt-Out Systems: Developing confidential opt-out systems that will enable at-risk individuals to make a single request to keep judges' covered information out of multiple databases or registries simultaneously.

Statutory Prohibitions on Data Brokers and Public Posting Section 5934(d) of the Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act of 2022 establishes prohibitions related to judges' covered information:

• Data Broker Prohibition: It is unlawful for a data broker to knowingly sell, license, trade for consideration, transfer, or purchase covered information of an at-risk individual or immediate family members. The statute defines a “data broker” as a commercial entity that collects and sells to third parties the personal information of a consumer with whom the business does not have a direct relationship.

• Public Posting Prohibition: No person, business, or association may publicly post or publicly display on the internet covered information of an at-risk individual or immediate family member if the at-risk individual has made a written request for such information not to be disclosed.

Implications for Grant Activities:

• Grant funds may be used to hire legitimate third-party services to redact or remove judges' covered information from public records, as specifically authorized in Section 5934(c)(2)(A).

• Grant funds may not be used to purchase covered information from data brokers.

U.S. Department of Justice | Office of Justice Programs | Bureau of Justice Assistance | 4

• Grant recipients must ensure that any contractors or subrecipients comply with these prohibitions. Activities may include developing enforcement mechanisms or compliance monitoring systems related to these prohibitions within the recipient's jurisdiction.

Request-Based Protection Process Programs funded under this grant must operate on a request basis, consistent with the statutory language in Section 5934(c)(2)(A), which authorizes “the creation of programs to redact or remove judges' covered information, upon the request of an at-risk individual.”

• Participation by federal judges and their families is voluntary; they must affirmatively request protection.

• At-risk individuals (federal judges and their immediate family members) must have the ability to request protection of their covered information.

• Programs should develop a standardized form to ensure consistency in the information protected from disclosure. This form should be readily accessible to as-risk individuals and support request for redation, removal, and the continued monitoring of their convered information.

• Programs should include outreach and notification procedures to inform eligible at-risk individuals of available protections.

• Confidentiality of requests must be maintained to avoid inadvertently identifying at-risk individuals.

Applicants should describe in their proposals:

• How at-risk individuals will be informed about the program.

• The process for submitting and verifying requests and for coordination with federal judicial security stakeholders to facilitate the request process.

• Timeframes for responding to requests.

• How the confidentiality of requestors will be protected.
