(6) Verify match findings before 

reducing, suspending, terminating or

We have taken action to ensure that

of the Privacy Act, as amended. 

Dated: May 21, 2007. 

Manuel J. Vaz, 

Acting Deputy Commissioner for Disability 

and Income Security Programs. 

Notice of a Renewed Computer 

Matching Program, Social Security 

Administration (SSA) With the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS). 

A. Participating Agencies 

SSA and DHS. 

B. Purpose of the Matching Program 

The purpose of this matching program 

is to establish conditions under which 

DHS agrees to the disclosure of 

information regarding certain aliens 

who may, as a result of their current or 

planned absences from the United 

States, be subject to nonpayment of 

benefits in programs administered by 

SSA. The disclosure will provide SSA 

with information useful in determining 

claim and benefit status under both title 

II and title XVI of the Social Security 

Act, governing Social Security 

Retirement, Survivors and Disability 

Insurance Benefits, and Supplemental 

Security Income, in that certain persons 

who are outside the United States, or 

similarly lack appropriate statutorily 

specified residency and citizenship/ 

alienage status, may not be paid benefits 

under specific statutory provisions of 

those titles. Public Law (Pub. L.) No. 

108–203 (The Social Security Protection 

Act of 2004), section 412, expands 

section 202(n) of the Social Security Act 

to prohibit payment of retirement or 

disability benefits to number holders 

removed from the United States under 

section 237(a) or under section 

212(a)(6)(A) of the Immigration and 

Nationality Act of 1952 (INA), as 

amended. 

C. Authority for Conducting the 

Matching Program 

Legal authority for the relevant 

disclosures of this matching operation is 

contained in sections 202(n) of the 

Social Security Act, as amended by 

section 412 of Pub. L. 108–203, 1611(f), 

and 1614(a)(1) of the Social Security Act 

(42 U.S.C. 402(n) 1382(f) and 

1382c(a)(1) (the Act) and 8 U.S.C. 1611 

and 1612). Section 1631(e) (1) (B) of the 

Act, 42 U.S.C. 1383(e) (1) (B) requires 

SSA to verify declarations of applicants 

for, and recipients of, Supplemental 

Security Income (SSI) payments before 

making a determination of eligibility or 

payment amount. Section 1631(f) of the 

Act (42 U.S.C. 1383(f)) requires Federal 

agencies to provide SSA with 

information necessary to verify SSI 

eligibility or benefit amounts or to verify 

other information related to these 

determinations. In addition, section 

202(n)(2) of the Act specifies that the 

‘‘Attorney General or the Secretary of 

the [Department of Homeland Security]’’

notify the Commissioner of Social 

Security when certain individuals are 

removed under specified provisions of 

section 237(a) or under section 

212(a)(6)(A) of the Immigration and 

Nationality Act (INA). 

D. Categories of Records and 

Individuals Covered by the Matching 

Agreement 

DHS will disclose to SSA two data 

files as described below: 

1. Aliens Who Leave the United States 

Voluntarily 

DHS will provide SSA with an 

electronic file from its Computer Linked 

Application Information Management 

System (CLAIMS) (Justice/INS 013 

system of records, most recently 

published at 62 FR 59734, dated 11/04/ 

97, which is electronically formatted for 

transmission to SSA). CLAIMS contains 

information on resident aliens who are 

SSI recipients and who have left or plan 

to leave the United States for any period 

of 30 consecutive days. SSA will then 

match the DHS CLAIMS data with 

Social Security number (SSN) applicant 

and holder information, maintained in 

SSA’s Master Files of Social Security 

Number (SSN) Holders and SSN 

Applications, SSA/OEEAS 60–0058 

(most recently published at 65 FR 

66279, dated 11/03/2000); and SSA’s 

Supplemental Security Income Record 

(SSR) and Special Veterans Benefits 

(SVB) (most recently published at 66 FR 

11079 SSA/OEEAS 60–0103, dated 02/ 

21/2001). 

2. Aliens Who Are Removed From the 

United States 

DHS will also provide SSA with an 

electronic file containing information on 

removed number holders from its 

Deportable Alien Control System 

(DACS) (Justice/INS–012, full text 

published at 65 FR 46738, dated 07/31/ 

2000, modified at 66 FR 66712, dated 

01/22/2001). Electronically formatted 

for transmission to SSA, DACS is 

scheduled to be replaced by the Enforce 

Removal Module (EREM). After such 

transition, EREM will be the system of 

records used in the match. SSA will 

then match the DHS EREM data with 

applicant and holder information 

maintained in SSA’s Master Files of 

Social Security Number (SSN) Holders 

and SSN Applications SSA/OEES 60–

0058, published at 65 FR 66279 (11/03/ 

00), the Master Beneficiary Record SSA/ 

OEEAS 60–0090, most recently 

published at 66 FR 11080, dated 02/21/ 

2001); and the Supplemental Security 

Record. 

E. Inclusive Dates of the Match 

The matching program will become 

effective no sooner than 40 days after 

notice of the matching program is sent 

to Congress and OMB, or 30 days after 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register, whichever date is later. The 

matching program will continue for 18 

months from the effective date and may 

be extended for an additional 12 months 

thereafter, if certain conditions are met.

Advisory Committee on Democracy 

Promotion (ACDP) Meeting Notice; 

Notice of Partially Closed Meeting 

A meeting of the Advisory Committee 

on Democracy Promotion will be held 

on Monday, June 18, 2007 in Room 

1107, U.S. Department of State, 2201 C 

Street, NW., Washington, DC. The 

meeting will be open to the public from 

1:30 p.m.–3:15 p.m. up to the capacity 

of the meeting room. The Committee 

members will discuss various issues 

relating to strategies to promote 

democratic governance. Pursuant to 

section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. app 2 10(d) and 

5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6), it has been 

determined that the meeting will be 

closed to the public from 3:30 p.m. to 

4:30 p.m. because the Committee will be 

discussing sensitive information about 

the personal situation of human rights 

dissidents, disclosure of which would 

likely jeopardize the safety and welfare 

of these individuals and constitute a 

clearly unwarranted invasion of their 

personal privacy. 

Entry to the main State Department 

building is controlled and will require 

advance arrangements. Members of the 

public wishing to attend this meeting 

should, by Thursday, June 14, 2007,
