CCRS replaced the Criminal Docket System (CRIMDOCK) in 2006. Criminal enforcement counsel records are scheduled as EPA 683. See EPA 208 for criminal investigation records, and EPA 025 and EPA 207 for enforcement actions for Superfund site-specific and other programs, respectively. Oil spill site-specific enforcement actions are covered in EPA 480.
Access to CCRS data is restricted to OECA, Office of Criminal Enforcement, Forensics and Training (OCEFT) employees and Regional Criminal Enforcement Counsels (RCECs).
Collection of CCRS information is inherent to CID's investigative responsibilities as mandated by Title 18 United States Code, Section 3063 (18 USC 3063), enacted under Public Law 100-582.
