communities. The May 11, 2000 NOFA

announced the availability of

approximately $22 million ($11 million

of FY 1999 funding and $11 million of

FY 2000 funding) for the program.

It was HUD’s intention that the May

11, 2000 IHDEP NOFA include a

minimum grant award of $25,000 which

would ensure that all eligible tribes or

tribally designated housing entities who

submit successful applications receive a

minimum funding amount to initiate

substance abuse prevention/

intervention programs in their

community. Minimum grant awards

were included in the drug elimination

program NOFAs in previous years when

HUD issued NOFAs that addressed both

public and Indian housing, and a

minimum grant award amount was

intended to be included in the FY 2000

IHDEP NOFA. This document corrects

that omission.

Therefore, in the FY 2000 Notice of

Funding Availability for the Indian

Housing Drug Elimination Program,

notice document 00–11882, beginning at

65 FR 30502, in the issue of Thursday,

May 11, 2000, the following amendment

is made:

On page 30507, in the second column,

continuing into the third column, the

introductory paragraph of Section IV.(A)

(the title of Section IV is Program

Requirements) and paragraph (A)(1)(a)

are amended to read as follows:

(A) Grant Award Amounts. HUD is

distributing grant funds for IHDEP

under this NOFA on a national

competition basis. The maximum grant

award amounts are computed for IHDEP

on a sliding scale, using an overall

maximum cap, depending upon the

number of Tribe/TDHE units eligible for

funding. This figure (number of eligible

units for funding) will determine the

grant amount that the Tribe/TDHE is

eligible to receive if they meet the

IHDEP criteria and score a minimum of

70 out of 105 points. No selected

applicant, however, will receive a grant

award of less than $25,000.

(1) Amount per unit. (a) for tribes/

TDHEs with 1–1,250 units: The

minimum grant award amount is

$25,000. The maximum grant award cap

is $600 multiplied by the number of

eligible units.

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND

URBAN DEVELOPMENT

[Docket No. FR–4456–N–09]

Privacy Act of 1974; Notice of a

Computer Matching Program

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Information

Officer, (HUD).

ACTION: Notice of a computer matching

program between the Department of

Housing and Urban Development (HUD)

and the Department of Veterans Affairs

(VA).

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as

amended by the Computer Matching

and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, as

amended, (Pub. L. 100–503), and the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) Guidelines on the Conduct of

‘‘Instructions on Reporting Computer

Matching Programs to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB),

Congress and the Public,’’ the

Department of Housing and Urban

Development (HUD) is issuing a public

notice of its intent to conduct a

recurring computer matching program

with the Department of Veterans Affairs

(VA) to utilize a computer information

system of HUD, the Credit Alert

Interactive Voice Response System

(CAIVRS), with VA’s debtor files. This

match will allow prescreening of

applicants for loans or loans guaranteed

by the Federal Government to ascertain

if the applicant is delinquent in paying

a debt owed to or insured by the Federal

Government for HUD or VA direct or

guaranteed loans. Before granting a loan,

the lending agency and/or the

authorized lending institution will be

able to interrogate the CAIVRS debtor

file and verify that the loan applicant is

not in default on a Federal judgment or

delinquent on direct or guaranteed loans

of participating Federal programs. The

CAIVRS data base contains delinquent

debt information from the Departments

of Agriculture, Education, Veteran

Affairs, the Small Business

Administration and judgment lien data

from the Department of Justice.

Authorized users do a prescreening of

CAIVRS to determine a loan applicant’s

credit status with the Federal

Government. As a result of the

information produced by this match, the

authorized users may not deny,

terminate, or make a final decision of

any loan assistance to an applicant or

take other adverse action against such

applicant, until an officer or employee

of such agency has independently

verified such information.

DATES: Effective Date: Computer

matching is expected to begin 30 days

after publication of this notice unless

comments are received which will

result in a contrary determination, or 40

days from the date a computer matching

agreement is signed, whichever is later.

Comments Due Date: July 10, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are

invited to submit comments regarding

this notice to the Rules Docket Clerk,

Office of General Counsel, Room 10276,

Department of Housing and Urban

Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW.,

Congress and the Public;’’ copies of this

Notice and report are being provided to

the Committee on Government Reform

of the House of Representatives, the

Committee on Governmental Affairs of

the Senate, and the Office of

Management and Budget.

Authority: The matching program will

be conducted pursuant to Public Law

100–503, ‘‘The Computer Matching and

Privacy Protection Act of 1988,’’ as

amended, and Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) Circulars A–129

(Managing Federal Credit Programs) and

A–70 (Policies and Guidelines for

purposes of all Executive departments

and agencies—including HUD—is to

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 112 / Friday, June 9, 2000 / Notices 36709

implement efficient management

practices for Federal credit programs.

OMB Circulars A–129 and A–70 were

issued under the authority of the Budget

and Accounting Act of 1921, as

amended; the Budget and Accounting

Act of 1950, as amended; the Debt

Collection Act of 1982, as amended;

and, the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984,

as amended.

Objectives to be Met by the Matching

Program: The matching program will

allow VA access to a system which

permits prescreening of applicants for

loans or loans guaranteed by the Federal

Government to ascertain if the applicant

is delinquent in paying a debt owed to

or insured by the Government. In

addition, HUD will be provided access

to VA’s debtor data for prescreening

purposes.

Records to be Matched: HUD will

utilize its system of records entitled

HUD/DEPT–2, Accounting Records. The

debtor files for HUD programs involved

are included in this system of records.

HUD’s debtor files contain information

on borrowers and co-borrowers who are

currently in default (at least 90 days

delinquent on their loans); or who have

any outstanding claims paid during the

last three years on Title II insured or

guaranteed home mortgage loans; or

individuals who have defaulted on

Section 312 rehabilitation loans; or

individuals who have had a claim paid

in the last three years on a Title I loan.

For the CAIVRS match, HUD/DEPT–2,

System of Records, receives its program

inputs from HUD/DEPT–28, Property

Improvement and Manufactured

(Mobile) Home Loans—Default; HUD/

DEPT–32, Delinquent/Default/Assigned

Temporary Mortgage Assistance

Payments (TMAP) Program; and HUD/

CPD–1, Rehabilitation LoansDelinquent/Default.

The VA will provide HUD with debtor

files contained in its system of records

entitled SS–VA26, Loan Guaranty

Systems of Records. Central Accounts

Receivable On Line System is a

subsidiary of SS–VA26. HUD is

maintaining VA’s records only as a

ministerial action on behalf of VA, not

as a part of HUD’s HUD/DEPT–2 system

of records. VA’s data contain

information on individuals who have

defaulted on their guaranteed loans. The

VA will retain ownership and

responsibility for their systems of

records that they place with HUD. HUD

serves only as a record location and

routine use recipient for VA’s data.

Notice Procedures: HUD and the VA

will notify individuals at the time of

application (ensuring that routine use

appears on the application form) for

guaranteed or direct loans that their

records will be matched to determine

whether they are delinquent or in

default on a Federal debt. HUD and the

VA will also publish notices concerning

routine use disclosures in the Federal

Register to inform individuals that a

computer match may be performed to

determine a loan applicant’s credit

status with the Federal Government.

Categories of Records/Individuals

Involved: The debtor records include

these data elements from HUD’s systems

of records, HUD/Dept–2: SSN, claim

number, program code, and indication

of indebtedness. Categories of records

include: records of claims and defaults,

repayment agreements, credit reports,

financial statements, and records of

foreclosures.

Categories of individuals include

former mortgagors and purchasers of

HUD-owned properties, manufactured

(mobile) home and home improvement

loan debtors who are delinquent or in

default on their loans, and rehabilitation

loan debtors who are delinquent or in

default on their loans.

Period of the Match: Matching will

begin at least 40 days from the date

copies of the signed (by both Data

Integrity Boards) computer matching

agreements are sent to both Houses of

Congress or at least 30 days from the

date this Notice is published in the

Federal Register, whichever is later,

providing no comments are received

which would result in a contrary

determination. The matching program

will be in effect and continue for 18

months with an option to renew for 12

additional months unless one of the

parties to the agreement advises the

other in writing to terminate or modify

the agreement.

Dated: May 30, 2000.
