(2) THE REPOSITORY IS UNDER THE ADMINISTRATIVE
CONTROL OF THE SECRETARY AND SHALL BE OPERATED AS DIRECTED BY THE
SECRETARY WITH THE ADVICE OF THE ADVISORY BOARD.

(c)  Every criminal justice agency shall report criminal
history record information, whether collected manually or by
means of an automated system, to the central repository, in
accordance with the following provisions:

(1)  Data pertaining to an arrest or the issuance of
an arrest warrant shall be reported within 72 hours after the
arrest is made or the warrant is issued whichever first occurs;

(2)  Data pertaining to the release of a person after
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
reduced by rules adopted by the Secretary or the Court of
Appeals.

(d)  Reporting methods may include:

(1)  Submittal of criminal history record information
by a criminal justice agency directly to the central repository;

(2)  If the information can readily be collected and
reported through the court system, submittal to the central
repository by the administrative office of the courts; or

(3)  If the information can readily be collected and
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
justice agency from maintaining more detailed information than is
required to be reported to the central repository. However, the
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
justice agency, in order to avoid duplication in reporting.
