Certification Program for Access to the 

Death Master File 

AGENCY: National Technical Information 

Service, U.S. Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Request for Information and 

Advance Notice of Public Meeting. 

SUMMARY: Section 203 of the Bipartisan 

Budget Act of 2013 (Act), directed the 

Secretary of Commerce to establish a 

certification program under which 

persons may obtain immediate access to 

the publicly available Death Master File 

(DMF). The National Technical 

Information Service is requesting 

comments from the public regarding the 

establishment and implementation of a 

certification program for access to the 

DMF. It is expected that information 

gathered through this RFI will inform 

NTIS’s approach to the development of 

a certification program, which will be 

promulgated by NTIS by Notice and 

Comment Rulemaking. 

In addition, NTIS will hold a public 

meeting at which members of the public 

will be invited to provide comments in 

person. More information about the 

public meeting is provided under 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. 

DATES: Comments are due on or before 

5:00 p.m. Eastern time March 18, 2014. 

The public meeting will take place on 

Tuesday, March 4, 2014, from 9:00 a.m. 

to 12:00 p.m. Eastern time at the place 

noted under ADDRESSES, and comments 

made orally during the public comment 

portion of the public meeting will be 

recorded and transcribed. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments must be 

submitted to John Hounsell by email at 

jhounsell@ntis.gov, or in paper form at 

NTIS, 5301 Shawnee Road, Alexandria, 

VA 22312. The public meeting will take 

place at the United States Patent and 

Trademark Office, Madison Building 

West, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, 

VA 22314. The public meeting will also 

be webcast. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John 

Hounsell at jhounsell@ntis.gov or 703–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

Request for Information (RFI) seeks 

comments from the public regarding the 

establishment by the National Technical 

Information Service (NTIS) of the new 

certification program for persons who 

seek access to the Social Security 

Administration’s Public Death Master 

File (DMF) at any time within the threecalendar-year period following an 

individual’s death, as required by 

Section 203 of the Bipartisan Budget Act 

of 2013 (Pub. L. 113–67) (Act). The Act 

prohibits disclosure of DMF information 

during the three-calendar-year period 

following death unless the person 

requesting the information has been 

certified under a program established by 

the Secretary of Commerce. The Act 

directs the Secretary of Commerce to 

establish a certification program for 

such access to the DMF. Section 203, 

‘‘Restriction on Access to the Death 

Master File,’’ requires a fee-based 

certification program for allowable uses 

of DMF data for any deceased 

individual within three calendar years 

of the individual’s death. Authority to 

carry out Section 203 has been 

delegated by the Secretary of Commerce 

to the National Technical Information 

Service (NTIS). 

NTIS will establish the certification 

program in a manner consistent with the 

Act and its mission, to promote 

American innovation and economic 

growth by collecting and disseminating 

scientific, technical and engineering 

information to the public and industry, 

by providing information management 

solutions to other Federal agencies, and 

by doing all without appropriated 

funding. A summary of the provisions of 

Section 203 is provided below. 

Section 203, ‘‘Restriction on Access to 

the Death Master File’’ 

Section 203(a) of the Act directs that 

the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) 

‘‘shall not disclose to any person 

information contained on the Death 

Master File with respect to any deceased 

individual at any time during the 3- 

calendar-year period beginning on the 

date of the individual’s death, unless 

such person is certified under the 

program established under subsection 

(b)’’ of Section 203. 

Section 203(b)(1) of the Act directs 

the Secretary to ‘‘establish a program (A) 

to certify persons who are eligible to 

access the information described in 

subsection (a) contained on the Death 

Master File, and (B) to perform periodic 

and unscheduled audits of certified 

persons to determine the compliance by 

such certified persons with the 

requirements of the program.’’ 

Under Section 203(b)(2) of the Act, a 

person ‘‘shall not be certified under the 

program established under paragraph (1) 

unless such person certifies that access 

to the information described in 

subsection (a) is appropriate because 

such person (A) has (i) a legitimate 

fraud prevention interest, or (ii) a 

legitimate business purpose pursuant to 

a law, governmental rule, regulation, or 

fiduciary duty, and (B) has systems, 

facilities, and procedures in place to 

safeguard such information, and 

experience in maintaining the 

confidentiality, security, and 

appropriate use of such information, 

pursuant to requirements similar to the 

requirements of section 6103(p)(4) of the 

Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC), 

and (C) agrees to satisfy the 

requirements of such section 6103(p)(4) 

as if such section applied to such 

person.’’ 

Section 203(b)(3)(A) of the Act directs 

the Secretary to ‘‘establish under section 

9701 of title 31, United States Code, a 

program for the charge of fees sufficient 

to cover (but not to exceed) all costs 

associated with evaluating applications 

for certification and auditing, 

inspecting, and monitoring certified 

persons under the program. Any fees so 

collected shall be deposited and

credited as offsetting collections to the 

accounts from which such costs are 

paid.’’ Section 203(b)(3)(B) of the Act 

requires the Secretary to report annually 

to the Congress ‘‘on the total fees 

collected during the preceding year and 

the cost of administering the 

certification program under this 

subsection for such year.’’ 

Section 203(c)(1) of the Act provides 

that any person ‘‘certified under the 

program established under subsection 

(b), who receives information described 

in subsection (a), and who during the 

period of time described in subsection 

(a)(A) discloses such information to any 

person other than a person who meets 

the requirements of subparagraphs (A), 

(B), and (C) of subsection (b)(2), (B) 

discloses such information to any 

person who uses the information for any 

purpose not listed under subsection 

(b)(2)(A) or who further discloses the 

information to a person who does not 

meet such requirements, or (C) uses any 

such information for any purpose not 

listed under subsection (b)(2)(A), and 

any person to whom such information is 

disclosed who further discloses or uses 

such information as described in the 

preceding subparagraphs, shall pay a 

penalty of $1,000 for each such 

disclosure or use. Under Section 

203(c)(2), the total penalty imposed on 

any person for any calendar year ‘‘shall 

not exceed $250,000,’’ unless the 

Secretary determines the violations to 

have been ‘‘willful or intentional.’’ 

Section 203(d) of the Act defines the 

term ‘‘Death Master File’’ to mean 

‘‘information on the name, social 

security account number, date of birth, 

and date of death of deceased 

individuals maintained by the 

Commissioner of Social Security, other 

than information that was provided to 

such Commissioner under section 205(r) 

of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 

405(r)).’’ 

Under Section 203(e)(1) of the Act, no 

Federal agency ‘‘shall be compelled to 

disclose,’’ to any person ‘‘not certified,’’ 

information contained on the Death 

Master File with respect to any deceased 

individual at any time during the 3- 

calendar-year period beginning on the 

date of the individual’s death. Section 

203(e)(2) of the Act provides that 

Section 203 shall be considered a statute 

described in subsection (b)(3) of section 

552 of title 5, United States Code (the 

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)). 

Under Section 203(f) of the Act, 

Section 203 takes effect 90 days after the 

date of the enactment, while Section 

203(e) (the FOIA provision) takes effect 

upon enactment. 

During Congressional debate on the 

Joint Resolution, H. J. Res. 59, which, 

upon being passed by Congress and 

signed into law by the President, 

became the Bipartisan Budget Act of 

2013, several Members of Congress 

described their understanding of the 

purpose and meaning of Section 203. 

Members offering statements included 

Representatives Johnson,1 Bachus 2 and 

Neal,3 and Senators Nelson,4 Murray,5

The Death Master File 

The Social Security Administration 

(SSA) compiles the DMF from certain 

deaths reported to the agency. SSA 

receives death reports from many 

sources, including family members, 

funeral homes, hospitals, States, Federal 

agencies, postal authorities and 

financial institutions. The DMF is not a 

complete file of all deaths, and does not 

include State death records. (Section 

205(r) of the Social Security Act 

prohibits SSA from disclosing this 

information to the public on the DMF.) 

In addition, SSA cannot guarantee the 

accuracy of the DMF. The absence of a 

particular person on this file is not proof 

that the individual is alive. Further, in 

rare instances it is possible for the 

record of a person who is not deceased 

to be included erroneously in the DMF. 

SSA makes the DMF available to the 

public through an agreement with NTIS. 

NTIS offers the DMF to the public 

through an online search application, as 

well as through raw data file download 

products. DMF subscribers have the 

option of subscribing to an online 

search application or maintaining a raw 

data version of the file at their location. 

The online service is updated on a 

weekly basis, and raw data file weekly 

and monthly updates are offered 

electronically via https, as well as via 

secure FTP. 

The Death Master File is an important 

tool which has been used for many 

purposes. It is used by pension funds, 

insurance organizations, Federal, State 

and Local government entities and 

others responsible for verifying 

deceased person(s) in support of 

fulfillment of benefits to their 

beneficiaries. By methodically running 

financial, credit, payment and other 

applications against the Death Master 

File, the financial community, 

insurance companies, security firms and 

State and Local governments are better 

able to identify and prevent identity 

fraud, and identify customers who are 

deceased. Other current users include 

clinicians and medical researchers 

tracking former patients and study 

subjects, law enforcement and 

genealogists. 

While the DMF unquestionably plays 

an important role in preventing identity 

fraud, concern about misuse of publicly 

available DMF information, as noted in 

the statements of several Members of 

Congress cited above, led to the 

inclusion of Section 203 in the Act, 

signed into law by President Obama. 

NTIS seeks comments from the public 

on how best to implement the 

certification program mandated under 

Section 203. 

Request for Comment 

The following questions cover the 

major areas for which NTIS seeks 

comment. The questions are not 

intended to limit topics that may be 

addressed through this Request for 

Information, and commenters may 

address any topic they believe has 

implications for the establishment of a 

certification program for access to the 

DMF, regardless of whether this 

document mentions it. NTIS will 

consider all timely comments received. 

Comments containing references, 

studies, research, and other empirical 

data that are not widely published 

should include copies of the referenced 

materials. No confidential or proprietary 

comments, information or materials are 

to be submitted, and all submitted 

comments will be made available 

publically at http://dmf.ntis.gov/. 

In the questions that follow, 

references to ‘‘you’’ are intended to 

include individual persons as well as 

organizations unless otherwise 

indicated, and submitted comments 

should distinguish between individuals 

and organizations as necessary or 

desirable for context. 

Certification Program 

NTIS solicits information on 

implementation of the certification 

program mandated under Section 203. 

In particular, NTIS seeks to understand 

how persons would characterize the 

basis for their use of DMF information 

as it relates to the certification criteria 

of Section 203. In addition, NTIS seeks 

to understand how persons who seek 

certification would comply with the 

requirements set forth under Section 

203 to safeguard DMF information. 

NTIS also seeks information regarding

legitimate fraud prevention interest in 

accessing DMF information, as 

described in the Act? If so, explain in 

detail the basis of that interest. 

2. If you have a legitimate business 

purpose pursuant to a law, explain in 

detail the basis of that legitimate 

business purpose and cite the relevant 

law. 

3. If you have a legitimate business 

purpose pursuant to a governmental 

rule, explain in detail the basis of that 

legitimate business purpose and cite the 

relevant governmental rule. 

4. If you have a legitimate business 

purpose pursuant to a regulation, 

explain in detail the basis of that 

legitimate business purpose and cite the 

relevant regulation. 

5. If you have a legitimate business 

purpose pursuant to a fiduciary duty, 

explain in detail the basis of that 

legitimate business purpose and cite the 

relevant fiduciary duty. 

6. Do you have systems, facilities, and 

procedures in place to safeguard DMF 

information, and experience in 

maintaining the confidentiality, 

security, and appropriate use of such 

information? If so, explain in detail. 

7. If you have systems, facilities, and 

procedures in place to safeguard DMF 

information, or to safeguard sensitive 

information other than DMF 

information, explain whether and how 

your systems, facilities, and procedures 

are audited, inspected or monitored. 

8. If you have systems, facilities, and 

procedures in place to safeguard DMF 

information, or to safeguard sensitive 

information other than DMF 

information, and if your systems, 

facilities, and procedures are audited, 

inspected or monitored, explain 

whether that is voluntary, or whether it 

is required by law, governmental rule, 

regulation, fiduciary duty, or other 

reason and cite such. 

9. If you have systems, facilities, and 

procedures in place to safeguard DMF 

information, or to safeguard sensitive 

information other than DMF 

information, and if your systems, 

facilities, and procedures are audited, 

inspected or monitored, explain 

whether any of these reviews would 

reveal (1) how such information was 

used by you, (2) whether such 

information had been disclosed to a 

third person, and (3) how such 

information, if disclosed to a third 

person, was used by that person, or was 

further disclosed by that person to a 

fourth person. 

10. If you have systems, facilities, and 

procedures in place to safeguard DMF 

information, and experience in 

maintaining the confidentiality, 

security, and appropriate use of such 

information, explain in detail the extent 

to which these satisfy the requirements 

of section 6103(p)(4) of the IRC, or 

satisfy requirements ‘‘similar’’ to the 

requirements of section 6103(p)(4) of the 

IRC. 

11. If you do not currently have

12. Under the Act, you are required to 

certify that you have systems, facilities, 

and procedures in place to safeguard 

DMF information, and experience in 

maintaining the confidentiality, 

security, and appropriate use of such 

information, pursuant to requirements 

‘‘similar’’ to the requirements of section 

6103(p)(4) of the IRC. Please explain in 

detail how your systems, etc., and 

experience might be ‘‘similar’’ but not 

identical to the requirements of section 

6103(p)(4) of the IRC, and how any 

differences from the requirements of 

section 6103(p)(4) of the IRC would 

nevertheless permit achieving the 

objective of safeguarding DMF 

information. 

13. What systems, facilities, and 

procedures do you believe are necessary 

to safeguard DMF information provided 

under the Act, including audit, 

inspection and monitoring procedures? 

14. Identify laws or regulations that 

require the safeguarding of released 

DMF information, and summarize the 

procedures required by such laws or 

regulations. 

Fees and Penalties 

NTIS solicits information on the fees 

and penalties mandated under Section 

203. In particular, because Section 203 

mandates the charge of fees to cover, but 

not to exceed, all costs associated with 

evaluating applications for certification 

and auditing, inspecting, and 

monitoring certified persons under the 

program, NTIS seeks to understand 

whether persons desiring to access DMF 

information during the initial threecalendar-year period, including persons 

currently accessing DMF information, 

would participate in a fee-based 

certification program in order to obtain 

or maintain access to the DMF. NTIS 

also seeks to understand how persons 

certified under the certification program 

would avoid disclosing such 

information to any person not 

authorized to obtain such information 

because they are not certified or, if 

certified, would use such information 

for a purpose not listed under Section 

203(b)(2)(A). 

15. Would the imposition of a single, 

presumably larger, fee at the time of 

certification be preferable to the charge 

of multiple, presumably smaller, fees, 

such as annual fees? 

16. In order to become certified to 

have access to DMF information, how 

would you prevent disclosure of such 

information to any person other than a 

person who was also certified, or who, 

if not certified, would meet the 

requirements of certification? 

Death Master File Information 

NTIS solicits comments on the term 

‘‘Death Master File,’’ as that term is 

defined in Section 203: ‘‘information on 

the name, social security account 

number, date of birth, and date of death 

of deceased individuals maintained by 

the Commissioner of Social Security, 

other than information that was 

provided to such Commissioner under 

section 205(r) of the Social Security Act 

(42 U.S.C. 405(r)).’’ In particular, NTIS 

seeks to understand whether persons 

currently accessing the DMF, or who 

might wish to access the DMF in the 

future, during the initial three-calendaryear period, need access to all the types 

of information included within the 

definition of that term in order to make 

use of DMF information. If access to all 

the types of information included 

within the definition of the term ‘‘Death 

Master File’’ is not needed for persons 

to make use of DMF information, NTIS 

seeks to understand which type(s) of 

information is not needed. 

17. If you currently access DMF 

information, does your use of that 

information include or require the 

name, social security account number, 

date of birth, and date of death of 

deceased individuals? If not, explain 

which type(s) of DMF information you 

do not use. 

18. Would you find it useful to access 

DMF information that included 

information for a deceased individual 

during the 3-calendar-year period 

beginning on the date of the individual’s 

death, but did not include one or more 

of the name, social security account 

number, date of birth, and date of death 

of the deceased individual? If so, 

explain which type(s) of DMF 

information could be excluded. 

Advance Notice of Public Meeting 

NTIS will hold a public meeting at 

which members of the public may 

provide comments on the establishment 

of the certification program for access to 

the DMF in person on Tuesday, March

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In the Federal Register of December 

30, 1997, FDA published a proposed 

rule entitled ‘‘Food Labeling; Serving 

Sizes; Reference Amount and Serving 

Size Declaration for Hard Candies, 

Breath Mints’’ (the 1997 breath mints 

proposed rule). The 1997 breath mints 

proposed rule would change the label 

serving size for the product category 

‘‘Hard candies, breath mints’’ so that the 

serving size for all breath mint products 

would be one unit. The 1997 breath 

mints proposed rule was published, in 

part, in response to a citizen petition 

(Docket No. FDA–1994–P–0314 

(formerly Docket No. 94P–0168)) that 

requested a serving size for breath mints 

that more accurately reflected the 

amount customarily consumed per 

eating occasion. Specifically, the 

petition requested that FDA create a 

separate product category with a 0.5- 

gram (g) reference amount for small 

breath mints (weighing 0.5 g or less). 

The petition concluded that the serving 

size for small breath mints should be ‘‘1 

mint.’’ The 1997 breath mints proposed 

rule also would amend the current 

rounding requirements for calories as 

described in 21 CFR 101.9(c)(1), which 

states that the caloric content per 

serving must be expressed to the nearest 

5-calorie increment up to and including 

50 calories, and 10-calorie increment 

above 50 calories, except that amounts 

less than 5 calories may be expressed as 

zero. The 1997 breath mints proposed 

rule would allow the declaration of 

calorie amounts of less than 5 calories 

on the Nutrition Facts label, provided 

that the number of calories declared on 

the Nutrition Facts label is consistent 

with the number of calories declared in 

any claim about the amount of calories 

made under 21 CFR 101.13(i). 

In the Federal Register of April 4, 

2005 (70 FR 17010), we issued an 

advance notice of proposed rulemaking 

(ANPRM) entitled ‘‘Food Labeling: 

Serving Sizes of Products That Can 

Reasonably Be Consumed At One Eating 

Occasion; Updating of Reference 

Amounts Customarily Consumed; 

Approaches for Recommending Smaller 

Portion Sizes.’’ The ANPRM requested 

comment on whether we should amend 

certain nutrition labeling regulations 

concerning serving size. 

In response to the ANPRM, elsewhere 

in this issue of the Federal Register, we 

are publishing a proposed rule that 

would, in part, amend the serving size 

for breath mints. 

II. Withdrawal of the 1997 Proposed 

Rule 

Because we are addressing issues 

related to the label serving size for 

breath mints, in conjunction with other 

serving size issues, in a proposed rule 

entitled, ‘‘Serving Sizes of Foods That 

Can Reasonably Be Consumed At OneEating Occasion; Dual-Column Labeling; 

Updating, Modifying, and Establishing 

Certain Reference Amounts Customarily 

Consumed; Serving Size for Breath 

Mints; and Technical Amendments,’’ 

published elsewhere in this issue of the 

Federal Register, we are withdrawing 

the 1997 breath mints proposed rule. 

Dated: February 24, 2014.
