I see somebody answered most of them, here are some more:
164.425- FBI repeater input, output probably 167.xxxx
164.8625 This is used by alot of people, so far here's what I've heard:
         Marshals, then it was an FBI input, it's a common body tap freq
         AND it's part of FEMA's radio plan. It usually seems to be FBI
         or a body tap for Justice OR Treasury.
165.4375 Customs Tactical
167.975  This is a main FEMA freq ???
169.575  FBI (anything I've EVER found on VHF with a 167.9 PL is FBI,
              with the exception of the odd Forest Service repeater
              tone. But that's not a FS freq.)
168.725  depending on where you're at, It's usually Forest Service or
         FBI. Data?  Hmm....Forest Service??
         East of the Mississippi it's used alot as an FBI input.
         In the West it's almost always USFS.
169.625  I'll have to look this one up at home, I seem to
         recall it being listed as State Dept., but I don't know
         where- but it was East Coast...
170.375  No idea, multiple users, however FBI uses 170.350 here (San
         Diego) and also uses .325 elsewhere. I'll look up these last
         2 at home in my books.
   Also; 164.425 is probably the input to 167.4375 or 167.7625 (or both), 
since those are the FBI repeaters you're picking up. I'd almost bet if it 
is, the input to the OTHER 167 freq is your 169.575 freq!
Let me know what you find...I can also give you the input to the Postal 
inspectors on 415.050. 413.600, 414.750, & 413.575 are other PI outputs. In 
Los Angeles, those freqs are linked together so every repeater input comes 
out on every output that picks up the signal.
  Half of the link is on 169.000, where you can hear the traffic from all 
the UHF repeaters. I believe the opposite link is on 169.850.
