Office of the Secretary 

[Docket ID: DOD–2010–OS–0018] 

Privacy Act of 1974; Notice of a 

Computer Matching Program 

AGENCY: Defense Manpower Data 

Center, 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. The DoD, as the matching 

agency under the Privacy Act is hereby 

giving notice to the record subjects of a 

computer matching program between 

the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) 

and DoD that their records are being 

matched by computer. The purpose of 

this agreement is to verify an 

individual’s eligibility for receipt of 

benefits under programs administered 

by the Veterans Benefits 

Administration. 

DATES: This proposed action will 

become effective March 26, 2010 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. 

Public comments must be received 

before March 26, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Samuel P. Jenkins at telephone (703) 

607–2943. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to subsection (o) of the Privacy Act of 

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

Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) 

and VA have concluded an agreement to 

conduct a computer matching program 

between the agencies. The purpose of 

this agreement is to verify an 

individual’s eligibility for receipt of 

benefits under programs administered 

by the Veterans Benefits 

Administration. 

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 

VA to identify individuals that have not 

separated from military service and/or 

confirm elements of military service 

relevant to the adjudication of VA 

benefits. 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 VA and DMDC is 

available upon request to the public. 

Requests should be submitted to the 

Director, Defense Privacy Office, 1901 

South Bell Street, Suite 920, Arlington, 

VA 22202–4512 or to the Department of 

Veterans Affairs, Veterans Benefit 

Administration, 810 Vermont Avenue, 

NW., Washington, DC 20420. 

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 February 12, 2010, 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,’’ February 8, 

1996 (February 20, 1996; 61 FR 6427). 

Dated: February 18, 2010. 

Mitchell S. Bryman, 

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison 

Officer, Department of Defense. 

Notice of a Computer Matching 

Program Between the Office of the 

Inspector General, the Department of 

Veterans Affairs and the Department of 

Defense for Verification of Eligibility 

A. Participating Agencies: 

Participants in this computer matching 

program are the Office of the Inspector 

General of the Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) and the Defense Manpower 

Data Center (DMDC) of the Department 

of Defense (DoD). The VA is the source 

agency, i.e., the activity disclosing the 

records for the purpose of the match. 

The DMDC is the specific recipient 

activity or matching agency, i.e., the 

agency that actually performs the 

computer matching. 

B. Purpose of the Match: The purpose 

of this agreement is to verify an 

individual’s eligibility for receipt of 

benefits under programs administered 

by the Veterans Benefits 

Administration. 

VA, as the source agency, will provide 

DMDC with two electronic files, the 

C&P and VADS files. The C&P file 

contains names of veterans, SSNs, and 

compensation and pension records. The 

VADS file contains names of veterans, 

SSNs, and DD214 data. Upon receipt of 

the electronic files, DMDC will perform 

a match using the SSNs in the VA C&P 

file and the VADS file against the DMDC 

Active Duty Transaction, Reserve 

Transaction, and Reserve Master files. 

DMDC will provide VA OIG an 

electronic listing of VA C&P and VADS 

records for which there is no matching 

record from any of the three DMDC files, 

and an electronic listing of records that 

contain data that are inconsistent with 

data contained in the VA C&P or VADS 

files. VA OIG is responsible for verifying 

and determining that the data on the 

DMDC electronic reply file are 

consistent with the VA source file and 

for resolving any discrepancies or 

inconsistencies on an individual basis. 

C. Authority for Conducting the 

Match: The authority for VA to conduct 

this match is 5 U.S.C. App. 3, the 

Inspector General Act of 1978 (IG Act). 

The IG Act authorizes the VA OIG to 

conduct audits and investigations 

relating to the programs and operations 

of VA. IG Act, section 2. In addition, 

section 4 of the IG Act provides that the 

IG will conduct activities designed to 

promote economy and efficiency and to 

prevent and detect fraud and abuse in 

VA’s programs and operations. 

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: 

VA will use personal data from the 

following Privacy Act record system for 

the match: Compensation, Pension, 

Education, and Vocational 

Rehabilitation and Employment 

Records—VA, 58VA21/22/28, published 

at 74 FR 29275 on June 19, 2009. 

DoD will use personal data from the 

following Privacy Act record system for 

the match: Defense Manpower Data 

Center Data Base—DMDC 01, published 

in the Federal Register at 74 FR 39666 

on August 7, 2009. 

E. Description of Computer Matching 

Program: VA, as the source agency, will 

provide DMDC with two electronic files, 

the C&P and VADS files. The C&P file 

contains names of veterans, SSNs, and 

compensation and pension records. The 

VADS file contains names of veterans, 

SSNs, and DD214 data. Upon receipt of 

the electronic files, DMDC will perform 

a match using the SSNs in the VA C&P 

file and the VADS file against the DMDC 

Active Duty Transaction, Reserve 

Transaction, and Reserve Master files. 

DMDC will provide VA OIG an 

electronic listing of VA C&P and VADS 

records for which there is no matching 

record from any of the three DMDC files, 

and an electronic listing of records that 

contain data that are inconsistent with 

data contained in the VA C&P or VADS 

files. VA OIG is responsible for verifying 

and determining that the data on the 

DMDC electronic reply file are 

consistent with the VA source file and 

for resolving any discrepancies or 

inconsistencies on an individual basis. 

The VADS file provided by VA 

contains approximately 308,000 records 

per year that include data elements 

showing veteran’s name, SSN, VA claim 

number, Date of Birth, Date of 

Discharge, and Character of Service. 

The C&P file provided by VA contains 

approximately 3.6 million records per 

year that includes data elements 

showing veteran’s stub name, SSN, Date 

of Birth, Date of Discharge, Entitlement 

Code, File Number, Combined Degree of 

Disability, Station Number/Regional 

Office Number, Suspense Segment 

Indicator, Address Line 1, Branch of 

Service, Additional Service Indicator,

code, Date of Separation, and Branch of 

Service. 

The Reserve Transaction file provided 

by DMDC contains approximately 1.5 

million records per year historically 

dating from 1977 to the present. This 

file includes data elements showing 

reserve service member’s name, SSN, 

Date of Birth, Separation Program 

Designator, Interservice Separation 

code, Date of Separation, and Branch of 

Service. 

The Reserve Master file provided by 

DMDC contains approximately 1.3 

million records per year historically 

dating from 1977 to the present. This 

file does not include character of 

service. However, a match on this file 

may indicate that the Reserve service 

member spent time on active duty while 

a member of the Reserve Forces. 

F. Inclusive Dates of the Matching 

Program: This computer matching 

program is subject to public comment 

and review by Congress and the Office 

of Management and Budget. If the 

mandatory 30 day period for comment 

has expired and no comments are 

received and if no objections are raised 

by either Congress or the Office of 

Management and Budget within 40 days 

of being notified of the proposed match, 

the computer matching program 

becomes effective and the respective 

agencies may begin the exchange at a 

mutually agreeable time and thereafter 

on a quarterly basis. By agreement 

between VA and DMDC, 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.
