(c) Every criminal justice agency shall report criminal
history record information, whether collected manually or by

(1) Data pertaining to an arrest or the issuance of
an arrest warrant shall be reported within 72 hours after the

arrest without the filing of a charge shall be reported within 30
days after the person is released;
(3) Data pertaining to any other reportable event
shall be reported within 60 days after occurrence of the event;
(4) The time requirements in this subsection may be

Appeals.
(d) Reporting methods may include:
(1) Submittal of criminal history record information
by a criminal justice agency directly to the central repository;

reported through criminal justice agencies that are part of a
geographically based information system, submittal to the central
repository by such agencies.
(e) Nothing in this section shall prevent a criminal

dissemination of any such criminal history record information is
governed by the provisions of § 749.
(f) The Secretary and the Court of Appeals may determine,
by rule, the reportable events to be reported by each criminal
