DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

[Docket ID: DOD–2011–OS–0005] 

Privacy Act of 1974; Computer 

Matching Program 

AGENCY: Defense Manpower Data Center 

(DMDC), DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of a Computer Matching 

Program. 

SUMMARY: Subsection (e)(12) of the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 

U.S.C. 552a), requires agencies to 

publish advanced notices of any 

proposed or revised computer matching 

program by the matching agency for 

public comment. The Department of 

Defense (DoD), as the matching agency 

under the Privacy Act, is hereby giving 

notice to the record subjects of a 

computer matching program between 

the DoD and the Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS) acting on 

behalf of the State Public Assistance 

Agencies (SPAA). The purpose of the 

computer matching program is to 

exchange personal data for purposes of 

identifying individuals who are 

receiving Federal compensation or 

pension payments and also are receiving 

payments pursuant to Federal benefit 

programs being administered by the 

States. 

DATES: This proposed action will 

become effective February 9, 2011 and 

matching may commence unless 

changes to the matching program are 

required due to public comments or by 

Congressional or by Office of 

Management and Budget objections. 

Any public comment must be received 

before the effective date. 

ADDRESSES: Any interested party may 

submit written comments to the Director 

for Privacy, 1901 South Bell Street, 

Suite 920, Arlington, VA 22202–4512. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Samuel P. Jenkins at (703) 607–2943. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to subsection (o) of the Privacy Act of 

1974, as amended, (5 U.S.C. 552a), the 

DHHS and DMDC have concluded an 

agreement to conduct a computer 

matching program between agencies. 

The purpose of the computer matching 

program is to exchange personal data for 

purposes of identifying individuals who 

are receiving Federal compensation or 

pension payments and also are receiving 

payments pursuant to Federal benefit 

programs being administered by the 

States. 

The parties to this agreement have 

determined that a computer matching 

program is the most efficient, 

expeditious, and effective means of 

obtaining and processing the 

information needed by the SPAAs to 

identify individuals who may be 

ineligible for public assistance benefits. 

The principal alternative to using a 

computer matching program for 

identifying such individuals would be 

to conduct a manual comparison of all 

Federal personnel records with SPAA 

records of those individuals currently 

receiving public assistance under a 

Federal benefit program being 

administered by the State. Conducting a 

manual match, however, would clearly 

impose a considerable administrative 

burden, constitute a greater intrusion of 

the individual’s privacy, and would 

result in additional delay in 

determining eligibility and, if 

applicable, the eventual recovery of any 

outstanding debts. 

A copy of the computer matching 

agreement between HHS and DoD is 

available upon request. Requests should 

be submitted to the address caption 

above or to the HHS, Administration for 

Children and Families, 370 L’Enfant 

Promenade, SW., Washington, DC 

20447. 

Set forth below is the notice of the 

establishment of a computer matching 

program required by paragraph 6.c. of 

the Office of Management and Budget 

Guidelines on computer matching 

published on June 19, 1989, at 54 FR 

25818. 

The matching agreement, as required 

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

and an advance copy of this notice was 

submitted on January 4, 2011, to the 

House Committee on Government 

Reform, the Senate Committee on 

Homeland Security and Governmental 

Affairs, and the Administrator of the 

Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget pursuant to paragraph 4d of 

Appendix I to OMB Circular No. A–130, 

‘Federal Agency Responsibilities for 

Maintaining Records about Individuals’, 

dated February 8, 1996 (February 20, 

1996, 61 FR 6427). 

Dated: January 4, 2011. 

Morgan F. Park, 

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison 

Officer, Department of Defense. 

Notice of a Computer Matching 

Program Among the Defense Manpower 

Data Center, the Department of Defense; 

the Administration for Children and 

Families, Department of Health and 

Human Services; and State Public 

Assistance Agencies for Verification of 

Continued Eligibility for Public 

Assistance 

A. Participating Agencies: 

Participants in this computer matching 

program are State Public Assistance 

Agencies (SPAA), the Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS), and 

the Department of Defense (DoD). The 

SPAA is the source agency, the agency 

disclosing the records for purpose of the 

match; HHS is the facilitating agency, 

the agency acting on behalf of the 

SPAAs, and DoD is the matching 

agency, the agency that actually 

performs the match. 

B. Purpose of the Match: The purpose 

of this matching program is to provide 

the SPAAs with data from DoD military 

and civilian pay files, the military 

retired pay files, survivor pay files and 

the OPM civilian retired pay files to 

determine eligibility and to ensure fair 

and equitable treatment in the delivery 

of benefits attributable to funds 

provided by the Federal Government. 

The SPAAs will use the matched data 

to verify the continued eligibility of 

individuals to receive public assistance 

benefits and, if ineligible, to take such 

action as may be authorized by law and 

regulation. ACF, in its role as match 

facilitator, will support each SPAA’s 

efforts to ensure appropriate delivery of 

benefits by assisting with drafting the 

necessary agreements, helping arranging 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 6 / Monday, January 10, 2011 / Notices 1411 

signatures to the agreements, and acting 

as a central shipping point as necessary. 

C. Authority for Conducting the 

Match: The legal authority for 

conducting the matching program is 

contained in sections 402 and 1137 of 

the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 602 

and 1320b–7). 

D. Records to be Matched: The 

systems of records maintained by the 

respective agencies under the Privacy 

Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, 

from which records will be disclosed for 

the purpose of this computer match are 

as follows: 

1. Federal, but not State, agencies 

must publish system notices for 

‘‘systems of records’’ pursuant to 

subsection (e)(4) of the Privacy Act and 

must identify ‘‘routine uses’’ pursuant to 

subsection (b)(3) of the Privacy Act for 

those systems of records from which 

they intend to disclose this information. 

The DoD system of records described 

below contains an appropriate routine 

use proviso, which permits disclosure of 

information by DMDC to ACF and the 

SPAAs. 

2. DoD will use personal data from the 

record system identified as DMDC 01, 

entitled ‘‘Defense Manpower Data Center 

Data Base,’’ last published in the Federal 

Register at 74 FR 39666, August 7, 2009. 

3. HHS will be disclosing, as 

applicable, to DMDC personal data it 

has collected from the SPAAs. No 

information will be disclosed from 

systems of records that ACF operates 

and maintains. HHS will be disclosing, 

as applicable, to the SPAAs personal 

data it has received from DMDC. The 

DMDC supplied matched data will be 

disclosed by ACF pursuant to the DoD 

routine use. 

E. Description of Computer Matching 

Program: Each participating SPAA will 

send ACF an electronic file of eligible 

public assistance client information. 

These files are non-Federal computer 

records maintained by the States. ACF 

will then send this information to 

DMDC. In the alternative, participating 

SPAAs can submit files directly to 

DMDC. After DMDC receives the SPAA 

data, it will match the data against the 

DMDC database. The Database consists 

of personnel records of non-postal 

Federal civilian employees and military 

members, both active and retired. 

Resulting ‘‘hits’’ or matches will be 

disclosed to the SPAA that submitted 

the client information. 

1. The electronic files provided by 

ACF and the SPAAs will contain data 

elements of the client’s name, SSN, date 

of birth, address, sex, marital status, 

number of dependents, information 

regarding the specific public assistance 

benefit being received, and such other 

data as considered necessary and on no 

more than 10,000,000 public assistance 

beneficiaries. 

2. The DMDC computer database file 

contains approximately 4.85 million 

records of active duty and retired 

military members, including the Reserve 

and Guard, and approximately 3.68 

million records of active and retired 

non-postal Federal civilian employees. 

3. DMDC will match the SSN on the 

ACF/SPAA file by computer against the 

DMDC database. Matching records, 

‘‘hits’’ based on SSNs, will produce data 

elements of the individual’s name; SSN; 

active or retired; if active, military 

service or employing agency, and 

current work or home address, and 

other relevant information. 

F. Inclusive Dates of the Matching 

Program: The effective date of the 

matching agreement and date when 

matching may actually begin shall be at 

the expiration of the 40-day review 

period for OMB and Congress, or 30 

days after publication of the matching 

notice in the Federal Register, 

whichever date is later. The parties to 

this agreement may assume OMB and 

Congressional concurrence if no 

comments are received within 40 days 

of the date of the transmittal letter. The 

40-day OMB and Congressional review 

period and the mandatory 30-day public 

comment period for the Federal 

Register publication of the notice will 

run concurrently. By agreement between 

HHS and DoD, the matching program 

will be in effect for 18 months with an 

option to renew for 12 additional 

months unless one of the parties to the 

agreement advises the other by written 

request to terminate or modify the 

agreement.

Privacy, 1901 South Bell Street, Suite
