Purpose(s):
    The primary purpose for the establishment of this system of records

assist and implement debt collection efforts by Federal creditor 
agencies under the Debt Collection Act of 1982; to identify and locate 
individual debtors; to increase the efficiency of U.S. Government-wide 
efforts to collect debts owed the U.S. Government; to provide a 
centralized Federal data bank for computer matching of Federal 
employment records with delinquent debt records furnished by Federal 
credital agencies under an Interagency agreement sponsored and 
monitored by the Department of the Treasury and the Office of 
Management and Budget; and to identify and locate employees or 
beneficiaries who are receiving Federal salaries or other benefit 
payments and indebted to the creditor agency in order to recoup the 
debt either through voluntary repayment or by administrative or salary 
offset procedures established by law.

Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories 
of users and the purpose of such uses: In addition to those disclosures 
generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, these 
records or information contained therein may specifically be disclosed 
outside the DoD as a routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as 
follows:
    Individual's name, Social Security Number, Federal agency or 
military service, category of employees, Federal salary or benefit 
payments, record of debts and current work or home address and any 
other appropriate demographic data to a Federal creditor agency for the 
purpose of contacting the debtor to obtain voluntary repayment and, if 
necessary, to initiate any administrative or salary offset measures to 
recover the debt.
    To the Office of Finance of the U.S. House of Representatives and 
the Disbursing Office of the U.S. Senate, records of individual 
indebtedness from this system of records consisting of individual name, 
Social Security Number and amount, to be used to identify House and 
Senate members and their employees indebted to the Federal government 
for the purpose of collecting the debts.
    The DOD ``Blanket Routine Uses'' apply to this system of records.

Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, 
and disposing of records in the system:
Storage:
    Records are stored on magnetic computer tape.

Retrievability:
    Records are retrieved by the individual's name and Social Security 
Number from a computerized index.

Safeguards:
    Computerized records are maintained in a controlled area accessible 
only to authorized personnel. Entry to these areas is restricted by the 
use of locks, guards, and administrative procedures. Access to personal 
information is limited to those who require the records in the 
performance of their official duties. Access to personal information is 
further restricted by the use of passwords which are changed 
periodically.

Retention and disposal
    Records are erased within six months after each match cycle.
