ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

In addition to those disclosures 

generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 

552a(b) of the Privacy Act of 1974, these 

records may specifically be disclosed 

outside the DoD as a routine use 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as 

follows: 

To the U.S. Government 

Accountability Office, the U.S. 

Department of Justice, Internal Revenue 

Service, U.S. Department of the 

Treasury, or other Federal agencies for 

further collection action on any 

delinquent account when circumstances 

warrant. 

To commercial credit reporting 

agencies for the purpose of adding debt 

payment or non-payment data to a 

credit history file on an individual for 

use in the administration of debt 

collection. Delinquent debt information 

may be furnished for the purpose of 

establishing an inducement for debtors 

to pay their obligations to the U.S. 

Government. 

To any Federal agency where the 

debtor is employed or receiving some 

type of payment from that agency for the 

purpose of collecting debts owed the 

U.S. Government by non-centralized 

offset. Non-centralized offset 

encompasses an offset program 

administered by any Federal agency 

other than the U.S. Department of the 

Treasury. The agency holding the 

payment subject to offset will use the 

indebtedness information for collection 

purposes after counseling the debtor. 

The collection may be accomplished 

either voluntarily or involuntarily by 

initiating administrative or salary offset 

procedures under the provisions of the 

Debt Collection Act of 1982 (Pub. L. 97– 

365, as amended by Pub. L. 104–134, 

the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 

1996). 

To the U.S. Department of the 

Treasury (DOT) for centralized 

administrative or salary offset, including 

the offset of Federal income tax refunds, 

for the purpose of collecting debts owed 

the U.S. Government; to the DOT 

contracted private collection agencies 

for the purpose of obtaining collection 

services, including administrative wage 

garnishment (AWG) in accordance with 

the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 

1996 (Pub. L. 104–134), 31 U.S.C. 

3720D, and 31 CFR part 285, to recover 

moneys owed to the U.S. Government. 

To any Federal agency for the purpose 

of accomplishing the administrative 

procedures to collect or dispose of a 

debt owed to the U.S. Government. This 

includes, but is not limited to, the Office 

of Personnel Management for personnel 

management functions and the Internal 

Revenue Service to obtain a mailing 

address of a taxpayer for the purpose of 

locating such taxpayer to collect or 

compromise a Federal claim against the 

taxpayer pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 

1603(m)(2), and in accordance with 31 

U.S.C. 3711, 3217, and 3718. The 

Internal Revenue Service may also 

request locator service for delinquent 

accounts receivable in order to report 

closed out accounts as taxable income, 

including amounts compromised or 

terminated, and accounts barred from 

litigation due to age. 

The DoD ‘‘Blanket Routine Uses’’ 

apply to this system of records. 

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING

AGENCIES: 

Disclosures pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

552a(b)(12) may be made from this 

system of records to ‘‘consumer 

reporting agencies’’ as defined in the 

Fair Credit Reporting Act (14 U.S.C. 

1681a(f)) or the Federal Claims 

Collection Act of 1966 (31 U.S.C. 

3701(a)(3)). The purpose of this 

disclosure is to aid in the collection of 

outstanding debts owed to the Federal 

government; typically to provide an 

incentive for debtors to repay 

delinquent Federal government debts by 

making these debts part of their credit 

records. 

The disclosure is limited to 

information necessary to establish the 

identity of the individual, including 

name, address, and taxpayer 

identification number (Social Security 

Number); the amount, status, and 

history of the claim; and the agency or 

program under which the claim arose 

for the sole purpose of allowing the 

consumer reporting agency to prepare a 

commercial credit report.

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
