SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We 

provide this notice in accordance with 

the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), 

as amended by the Computer Matching 

and Privacy Protection Act of 1988 (Pub. 

L. 100–503) and the Computer Matching 

and Privacy Protection Amendments of 

1990 (Pub. L. 101–508) (CMPPA); the

Provisions of Public Law 100–503, the 

Computer Matching and Privacy 

Protection Act of 1988 (54 FR 25818,

108, Federal Agency Responsibilities for 

Review, Reporting, and Publication 

under the Privacy Act (81 FR 94424,

Participating Agencies 

The Department of Education (ED) 

and the Department of Justice (DOJ). 

Authority for Conducting the Matching 

Program 

Under section 421 (hereinafter 

referred to as ‘‘section 5301’’) of the 

Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 

862), an individual convicted of a 

Federal or State drug trafficking or 

possession offense may be denied, at the 

discretion of the court, certain Federal 

benefits, including those under the 

Federal Student Financial Assistance 

Programs authorized by title IV of the 

Higher Education Act (HEA) of 1965, as 

amended (title IV, HEA student 

financial assistance). The Denial of 

Federal Benefits and Defense 

Procurement Fraud Debarment 

Clearinghouse Programs (DFB/DPFD) 

database (formerly known as DEBARS) 

collects information regarding those 

individuals for whom benefits are 

denied and forwards this information to 

the General Services Administration 

(GSA) for inclusion in the publication 

‘‘Lists of Parties Excluded from Federal 

Procurement or Non-procurement 

Programs,’’ more commonly known as 

the ‘‘Debarment List.’’ Federal agencies 

are required by law to consult the 

Debarment List, prior to the provision of 

certain benefits. However, ED and DOJ 

have determined that, for purposes of 

verifying title IV, HEA student financial 

assistance eligibility, direct access to the 

DFB/DPFD database would be more 

useful than access to the GSA’s 

Debarment List because the DFB/DPFD 

database contains information essential 

to the effective operation of the match 

that is not available in the GSA List. 

By matching the names, dates of birth, 

and SSNs in the DFB/DPFD database 

with ED’s student financial aid records, 

ED is able to identify students who do 

not qualify for Federal student financial 

assistance pursuant to the provisions set 

forth in the Controlled Substances Act. 

DOJ’s system of records also contains 

information concerning the specific 

program or programs for which benefits 

have been denied, as well as the 

duration of the period of ineligibility. 

DOJ will make available for the CMA 

the records of only those individuals 

who have been denied Federal benefits 

under one or more of the title IV, HEA 

programs. Thus, ED avoids the cost of 

disbursing student financial assistance 

funds to individuals who do not qualify 

for Federal student financial assistance, 

but who would otherwise receive aid 

had the CMA not existed. 

DOJ is the lead contact agency for 

information related to violations of 

section 5301 and, as such, provides this 

data to ED. The 18-month CMA was 

recertified for an additional 12 months 

on January 2, 2020 and will 

automatically expire on January 1, 2021. 

Purpose(s) 

The purpose of this matching program 

is to ensure that the requirements of 

section 421 of the Controlled Substances 

Act (originally enacted as section 5301 

of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 

Pub. L. 100–690, 21 U.S.C. 853a, which 

was amended and re-designated as 

section 421 of the Controlled Substances 

Act by section 1002(d) of the Crime 

Control Act of 1990, Pub. L. 101–647) 

(hereinafter referred to as ‘‘section 

5301’’) are met. 

DOJ is the lead contact agency for 

information related to section 5301 

violations and, as such, provides this 

data to ED. ED seeks access to the 

information contained in the Denial of 

Federal Benefits and Defense 

Procurement Fraud Debarment 

Clearinghouse program (DFB/DPFD) 

database (formerly known as DEBARS) 

that is authorized under section 5301 for 

the purpose of ensuring that HEA 

student financial assistance is not 

awarded to individuals subject to denial 

of benefits under court orders issued 

pursuant to the Denial of Federal 

Benefits Program. 

Categories of Individuals 

The individuals whose records are 

included in this matching program are 

individuals who are the subject of 

section 5301 denial of benefits court 

orders, and all students who complete a 

Free Application for Federal Student 

Aid. ED receives data from the DOJ 

DFB/DPFD system that is used to match 

title IV, HEA applicant data in ED’s 

Central Processing System (Federal 

Student Aid Application File (18–11– 

01). 

Categories of Records 

ED will use the Social Security 

number (SSN), date of birth, and the 

first two letters of an applicant’s last 

name for the match. These data 

elements are contained in ED’s Central 

Processing System. The DOJ DFB/DPFD 

system contains the names, SSNs, dates 

of birth, and other identifying 

information regarding individuals 

convicted of Federal or State offenses 

involving drug trafficking or possession 

of a controlled substance who have been 

denied Federal benefits by Federal or 

State courts. This system of records also 

contains information concerning the 

specific program or programs for which 

benefits have been denied, as well as the 

duration of the period of ineligibility. 

DOJ will make available for the 

matching program the records of only 

those individuals who have been denied 

Federal benefits under one or more of 

the title IV, HEA programs. 

System(s) of Records 

DOJ system of records: DFB/DPFD 

(The most recent full DFB/DPFD system 

of records notice was published in the 

Federal Register on May 10, 1999, 64 

FR 25071). ED system of records:

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed, 

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the Department 

assess the impact of its information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. The Department of 

Education is especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) Is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the
