USMC Reserve, NAVY Reserve, Coast 

Guard Reserve, Air National Guard, and 

the Air Force Reserve Command. 

• Mr. Havenstein, Ms. Naylor—It is 

important that unit commanders 

develop a partnership with employers. 

Relationship building may help with the 

angst of the unpredictability of some 

deployments. Perhaps this initiative 

should be considered for all of NCESGR 

programs, so that we can figure out how 

to best support it. Although the unit 

commander’s primary responsibility is 

to ensure their units are combat ready, 

there still needs to be a directive or 

mandatory training requirement that 

includes employer support. We should 

solicit support and participation from 

employers and unit commanders to help 

move the initiative forward. 

Closing Comments from Chairman 

Janes: 

Today’s meeting did not have a 

quorum due to the last minute 

cancellations of three individuals. All 

items discussed today that had possible 

taskers will be brought up at the next 

meeting with a quorum and will then be 

assigned as official taskers. 

Additionally, the agenda for the next 

meeting will be structured to enable 

those absent to present their slide 

materials. 

Next meeting for the DAB is 

scheduled for February 2007. 

Dated: October 5, 2006.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary of Defense 

[DOD–2006–OS–0206] 

Privacy Act of 1974; Computer 

Matching Program 

AGENCY: Defense Manpower Data 

Center, Defense Logistics Agency, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of a Computer Matching 

Agreement. 

SUMMARY: Subsection (e)(12) of the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 

U.S.C. 552a), requires agencies to 

publish advanced 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 computer matching program 

between VA and DoD that their records 

are being matched by computer. The 

purpose is to verify eligibility for the 

DoD/USCG members of the Reserve 

forces who receive VA disability 

compensation or pension to also receive 

military pay and allowances when 

performing reserve duty. 

DATES: This proposed action will 

become effective November 13, 2006 

and the computer matching will 

proceed accordingly without further 

notice, unless comments are received 

which would result in a contrary 

determination or if the Office of 

Management and Budget or Congress 

objects thereto. Any public comment 

must be received before the effective 

date. 

ADDRESSES: Any interested party may 

submit written comments to the 

Director, Defense Privacy Office, 1901 

South Bell Street, Suite 920, Arlington, 

VA 22202–4512. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Vahan Moushegian, Jr. 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 VA have concluded an 

agreement to conduct a computer 

matching program between the agencies. 

The purpose of the match is to verify 

eligibility for the DoD/USCG members 

of the Reserve forces who receive VA 

disability compensation or pension to 

also receive military pay and allowances 

when performing reserve duty. 

The parties to this agreement have 

determined that a computer matching 

program is the most efficient, 

expeditious, and effective means of 

obtaining and processing the 

information needed by the VA to 

identify those individuals who are 

receiving both VA compensation and 

DoD/USCG payments for those periods 

when they are performing Reserve duty. 

By law, the individual must waive his 

or here entitlement to VA disability 

compensation or pension if he or she 

desires to receive DoD/USCG pay and 

allowances for the period of duty 

performed. This matching agreement 

will result in an accurate reconciliation 

of such payments by permitting the VA 

to determine which individuals are 

being paid by DoD/USCG for duty 

performed and are being paid VA 

disability compensation or pension 

benefit for the same period of time 

without a waiver on file with the VA. If 

this reconciliation is not done by 

computer matching, but is done 

mutually, the cost would be prohibitive 

and most dual payments would not be 

detected. 

A copy of the computer matching 

agreement between VA and DoD is 

available upon request. Requests should 

be submitted to the address caption 

above 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 on June 19, 1989, at 54 FR 

25818. 

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 October 2, 2006, to the 

House Committee on Government 

Reform, the Senate Committee on 

Homeland Security and Governmental 

Affairs, and the Administrator of the 

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 (February 20, 1996, 61 

FR 6427).

Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Defense 

Manpower Data Center (DMC) 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 DMC 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 eligibility for DoD/USCG 

members of the Reserve forces who 

receive VA disability compensation or 

pension to also receive military pay and 

allowance when performing reserve 

duty. 

C. AUTHORITY FOR CONDUCTING THE MATCH: 

The legal authority for conducting the 

matching program is 38 U.S.C. 5304(c) 

which provides that VA disability 

compensation or pension based upon 

his or her previous military service shall 

not be paid to a person for any period 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 197 / Thursday, October 12, 2006 / Notices 60121 

for which such person receives active 

service pay. 10 U.S.C. 12316 further 

provides that a reservist who is entitled 

to disability payments due to his or her 

earlier military service and who 

performs duty for which he or she is 

entitled to DoD/USCG compensation 

may elect to received for that duty either 

the disability payments or, if he or she 

waives such payments, the DoD/USCG 

compensation for the duty performed. 

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: 

1. The DMDC will used the system of 

records identified as S322.10 DMDC, 

entitled ‘‘Defense Manpower Data 

Center Data Base,’’ last published June 

9, 2004, at 69 FR 31947, as amended on 

November 16, 2004, 69 FR 67117. 

2. The VA will use the system of 

records identified as ‘‘VA 

Compensation, Pension and Education 

and Rehabilitation Records—VA (58 VA 

21/22),’’ first published at 41 FR 9294 

(March 3, 1976), and last amended at 70 

FR 34186 (June 13, 2005), with other 

amendments as cited therein. 

E. DESCRIPTION OF COMPUTER MATCHING

PROGRAM: 

Annually, VA will submit to DMDC 

an electronic file of all VA pension and 

disability compensation beneficiaries as 

of the end of September. Upon receipt 

of the electronic file, DMDC will match 

this file by SSN with a file of days 

drilled as submitted to DMDC by the 

military services and the USCG. Upon a 

SSN match, or a ‘‘hit,’’ of both files, 

DMDC will provide VA the individual’s 

name and other identifying data, to 

include the number of days drilled, by 

Fiscal Year, for each matched record. 

The hits will be furnished to VA 

which will be responsible for verifying 

and determining that the data in the 

DMDC electronic file is consistent with 

the VA files and for resolving any 

discrepancies or inconsistencies on an 

individual basis. VA will initiate actions 

to obtain an election by the individual 

of which pay he or she wishes to receive 

and will be responsible for making final 

determinations as to positive 

identification, eligibility for, or amounts 

of pension or disability compensation 

benefits, adjustments thereto, or any 

recovery of overpayments, or such other 

action as authorized by law. 

The annual electronic file provided by 

the VA will contain information on 

approximately 2.9 million pension and 

disability compensation recipients. 

The DMDC computer database file 

contains information on approximately 

832,000 DoD and 8,000 USCG reservists 

who received pay and allowances for 

performing authorized duty. 

VA will furnish DMDC the name and 

SSN of all VA pension and disability 

compensation recipients and DMDC 

will supply VA the name, SSN, date of 

birth, and the number of days drilled by 

fiscal year of each reservist who is 

identified as a result of the match. 

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 on an annual 

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.
