According to the NCIC Certification Test Study Guide (developed and is maintained by the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services ), which itself is condensed from Volume One of the NCIC Mandatory Minimum Standards Curriculum for Full Access Terminal Operators (available as item ED354314 at http://eric.ed.gov/), and the NCIC Operating Manual:
The Interstate Identification Index, or III, was developed in 1978 to coordinate the decentralized exchange of interstate criminal history record information among states and Federal criminal justice agencies, to effectively deal with individuals who commit crimes in more than one state.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation maintains an "index," which contains the name(s), numeric identifiers, and physical descriptors of persons with criminal histories and "points" to the state(s) which maintain criminal history information for the subject. The FBI itself does not respond with information on the subject, except to supply records reflecting Federal agency data, if any, or to provide records from states which do not participate in III.
