FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[FR ID: 17530] 

Privacy Act of 1974; Matching Program 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of a new matching 

program. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended 

(‘‘Privacy Act’’), this document 

announces the establishment of a 

computer matching program the Federal 

Communications Commission (‘‘FCC’’ 

or ‘‘Commission’’ or ‘‘Agency’’) and the 

Universal Service Administrative 

Company (USAC) will conduct with the 

Pennsylvania’s Department of Human 

Services (PDHS); (‘‘Agency’’). The 

purpose of this matching program is to 

verify the eligibility of applicants to and 

subscribers of the Emergency Broadband 

Benefit Program, which is administered 

by USAC under the direction of the 

FCC. More information about this 

program is provided in the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section 

below. 

DATES: Written comments are due on or 

before April 2, 2021. This computer 

matching program will commence on 

April 2, 2021, and will conclude 18 

months after becoming effective. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Margaret 

Drake, FCC, 45 L Street NE, Washington, 

DC 20554, or to Privacy@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Margaret Drake at 202–418–1707 or 

Privacy@fcc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Emergency Broadband Benefit Program 

(EBBP) was established by Congress in 

the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 

2021, Public Law 116–260, 134 Stat. 

1182. EBBP is a program that will help 

low-income Americans obtain 

discounted broadband service and onetime co-pay for a connected device 

(laptop, desktop computer or tablet). 

This program was created specifically to 

assist American families’ access to 

broadband, which has proven to be 

essential for work, school, and 

healthcare during the public health 

emergency that exists as a result of 

COVID–19. A household may qualify for 

the EBBP benefit under various criteria, 

including an individual qualifying for 

the FCC’s Lifeline program. 

In a Report and Order adopted on 

March 31, 2016 (81 FR 33026, May 24, 

2016), the Commission ordered USAC to 

create a National Lifeline Eligibility 

Verifier (‘‘National Verifier’’), including 

the National Lifeline Eligibility Database 

(LED), that would match data about 

Lifeline applicants and subscribers with 

other data sources to verify the 

eligibility of an applicant or subscriber. 

The Commission found that the 

National Verifier would reduce 

compliance costs for Lifeline service 

providers, improve service for Lifeline 

subscribers, and reduce waste, fraud, 

and abuse in the program. The

12446 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 40 / Wednesday, March 3, 2021 / Notices 

Consolidated Appropriations Act of 

2021 directs the FCC to leverage the 

National Verifier to verify applicants’ 

eligibility for EBBP. The purpose of this 

matching program is to verify the 

eligibility of EBBP applicants and 

subscribers by determining whether 

they receive Medicaid or Supplemental 

Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) 

benefits administered by the 

Pennsylvania Department of Human 

Services. Under FCC rules, consumers 

receiving these benefits qualify for 

Lifeline discounts and also for EBBP 

benefits. 

PARTICIPATING NON-FEDERAL AGENCIES: 

Pennsylvania Department of Human 

Services (PDHS). 

AUTHORITY FOR CONDUCTING THE MATCHING

PROGRAM: 

Consolidated Appropriations Act of 

2021, Public Law 116–260, 134 Stat. 

1182; 47 CFR part 54. 

PURPOSE(S): 

In the 2016 Lifeline Modernization 

Order (81 FR 33026, May 24, 2016), the 

FCC required USAC to develop and 

operate the National Verifier to improve 

efficiency and reduce waste, fraud, and 

abuse in the Lifeline program. The 

stated purpose of the National Verifier 

is ‘‘to increase the integrity and improve 

the performance of the Lifeline program 

for the benefit of a variety of Lifeline 

participants, including Lifeline 

providers, subscribers, states, 

community-based organizations, USAC, 

and the Commission.’’ 31 FCC Rcd 

3962, 4006, para. 126. To help 

determine whether Lifeline applicants 

and subscribers are eligible for Lifeline 

benefits, the Order contemplates that 

the USAC-operated LED will 

communicate with information systems 

and databases operated by other Federal 

and State agencies. Id. at 4011–2, paras. 

135–7. 

The Consolidated Appropriations Act 

of 2021 directs the FCC to leverage the 

National Verifier to verify applicants’ 

eligibility for EBBP. The purpose of this 

matching program is to verify the 

eligibility of EBBP applicants and 

subscribers by determining whether 

they receive Medicaid or SNAP benefits 

administered by the Pennsylvania 

Department of Human Services. Under 

FCC rules, consumers receiving these 

benefits qualify for Lifeline discounts 

and also for EBBP benefits. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS: 

The categories of individuals whose 

information is involved in the matching 

program include, but are not limited to, 

those individuals who have applied for 

EBBP benefits; are currently receiving 

benefits; are individuals who enable 

another individual in their household to 

qualify for EBBP benefits; are minors 

whose status qualifies a parent or 

guardian for EBBP benefits; or are 

individuals who have received EBBP 

benefits. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS: 

The categories of records involved in 

the matching program include, but are 

not limited to, the last four digits of the 

applicant’s Social Security Number, 

date of birth, and first name or last 

name. The National Verifier will 

transfer these data elements to the 

Pennsylvania DHS which will respond 

either ‘‘yes’’ or ‘‘no’’ that the individual 

is enrolled in a EBBP-qualifying 

assistance program: State of 

Pennsylvania’s SNAP or Medicaid. 

SYSTEM(S) OF RECORDS: 

The USAC records shared as part of 

this matching program reside in the 

EBBP system of records, FCC/WCB–3, 

Emergency Broadband Benefit Program, 

which can be found on the FCC website 

at https://www.fcc.gov/managingdirector/privacy-transparency/privacyact-information#systems.
