conclusion that the total number of 

marine mammals taken by the 2011 

MIRC activities will have no more than 

a negligible impact on the affected 

species or stock of marine mammals and 

will not have an unmitigable adverse 

impact on the availability of these 

species or stocks for taking for 

subsistence uses. 

Accordingly, NMFS has issued a oneyear LOA for Navy training exercises 

conducted in the MIRC Study Area from 

August 12, 2011, through August 11, 

2012.

Privacy Act of 1974; Notice of a 

Computer Matching Program 

AGENCY: Defense Manpower Data 

Center, Department of Defense (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 advance notice of any proposed 

or revised computer matching program 

by the matching agency for public 

comment; however, this notification 

will be completed by the DoD, the 

recipient agency. The DoD, as the 

recipient agency under the Privacy Act 

is hereby giving notice to the record 

subjects of a computer matching 

program between the Office of 

Personnel Management (OPM), the 

source agency and Defense Manpower 

Data Center (DMDC) that their records 

are being matched by computer. The 

purpose of this agreement is for 

disclosure of Federal Employees Health 

Benefits (FEHB) Program and Federal 

employment information to DMDC. This 

disclosure by OPM will provide the DoD 

with the FEHB eligibility and Federal 

employment information necessary to 

determine continuing eligibility for the 

TRICARE Reserve Select (TRS) and 

TRICARE Retired Reserve (TRR) 

programs. 

DATES: This proposed action will 

become effective September 14, 2011 

and matching may commence unless 

changes to the matching program are 

required due to public comments or by 

Congressional or Office of Management 

and Budget objections. Any public 

comment must be received before the 

effective date. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number and title, 

by any of the following methods: 

• Federal Rulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

• Mail: Federal Docket Management 

System Office, 1160 Defense Pentagon, 

Washington, DC 20301–1160. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the agency name and 

docket number for this Federal Register 

document. The general policy for 

comments and other submissions from 

members of the public is to make these 

submissions available for public 

viewing on the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov as they are 

received without change, including any 

personal identifiers or contact 

information. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Samuel P. Jenkins, Director for Privacy, 

Defense Privacy and Civil Liberties 

Office, 1901 S. Bell Street, Suite 920, 

Arlington, VA 22202–4512, or by phone 

at (703) 607–2943. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to subsection (o) of the Privacy Act of 

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

DMDC and OPM have concluded an 

agreement to conduct a computer 

matching program between the agencies. 

The purpose of this agreement is to 

verify an individual’s continuing 

eligibility for the TRICARE Reserve 

Select (TRS) and TRICARE Retired 

Reserve (TRR) Programs. 

The parties to this agreement have 

determined that a computer matching 

program is the most efficient, 

expeditious, and effective means of 

obtaining the information needed by the 

OPM to identify individual’s ineligible 

to continue the TRICARE Reserve Select 

and TRICARE Retired Reserve (TRR) 

Programs. If this identification is not 

accomplished by computer matching, 

but is done manually, the cost would be 

prohibitive and it is possible that not all 

individuals would be identified. 

A copy of the computer matching 

agreement between OPM and DMDC is 

available upon request to the public. 

Requests should be submitted to the 

address caption above or to the Office of 

Personnel Management, 1900 E Street, 

NW., Room 5415, Washington, DC 

20415. 

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 in the Federal Register at 54 

FR 25818 on June 19, 1989. 

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 August 9, 2011, to the 

House Committee on Government 

Reform, the Senate Committee on 

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 (61 FR 6435).
