SUMMARY:
The Civil Rights Cold Case Records Review Board received 3,362 pages of records from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) related to three civil rights cold case incidents to which the Review Board assigned the unique identifiers 2023-001-007, 2023-001-008, and 2023-002-0003. NARA proposed 450 postponements including postponements of sealed federal grand jury information in the records. After consultation with the Review Board, NARA withdrew 25 postponements. On September 18, 2026, the Review Board met and approved 424 postponements and determined that 2,987 pages in full and 63 pages in part should be publicly disclosed in the Civil Rights Cold Case Records Collection. The Review Board will request that the Attorney General petition the relevant court to unseal federal grand jury information in the records for incident 2023-001-007. By issuing this notice, the Review Board complies with the Civil Rights Cold Case Records Collection Act of 2018 that requires the Review Board to publish in the Federal Register its determinations on the disclosure or postponement of records in the Collection no more than 14 days after the date of its decision.
