BILLING CODE 3510–DR–F

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Defense Logistics Agency

Privacy Act of 1974; Computer

Matching Program Between the Office

of Personnel Management and the

Department of Defense

AGENCY: Defense Manpower Data

Center, Defense Logistics Agency,

Department of Defense

ACTION: Notice of a computer matching

program between the Office of

Personnel Management (OPM) and the

Department of Defense (DoD) for public

comment.

SUMMARY: The DoD, as the matching

agency under the Privacy Act of 1974,

as amended, (5 U.S.C. 552a), is hereby

giving constructive notice in lieu of

direct notice to the record subjects of a

computer matching program between

OPM and DoD that their records are

being matched by computer. The record

subjects are civil service annuitants who

are reemployed in the Federal

government. By comparing the data

received through this computer

matching program on a recurring basis,

OPM and DoD will be able to make

timely and accurate adjustments in

salary and benefits. This program will

prevent or correct overpayment, fraud

and abuse, thus insuring proper benefit

payments.

DATES: This proposed action will

become effective September 2, 1997,

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, Crystal

Mall 4, Room 920, 1941 Jefferson Davis

Highway, Arlington, VA 22202–4502.

Telephone (703) 607–2943.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Aurelio Nepa, Jr., at (703) 607–2943.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to subsection (o) of the Privacy Act of

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

and OPM have concluded an agreement

to conduct a computer matching

program between the agencies. The

purpose of the match is to identify civil

service annuitants (including disability

annuitants under age 60) who are

reemployed by DoD. This match will

insure that (1) annuities of DoD

reemployed annuitants are terminated

where applicable, and (2) salaries are
41028 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 147 / Thursday, July 31, 1997 / Notices

correctly offset where applicable. A cost

benefit analysis, based on data collected

from prior matches, shows that OPM

will save approximately $222,500 over a

12-month period by performing this

match.

DoD does not expect to realize any

monetary savings from this matching

program, but does benefit by having a

mechanism to assist in correcting its

civilian personnel data bases. Computer

matching appeared to be the most

efficient and effective manner to

accomplish this task with the least

amount of intrusion of personal privacy

of the individuals concerned. It was

therefore concluded and agreed upon

that computer matching would be the

best and least obtrusive manner and

choice for accomplishing this

requirement.

A copy of the computer matching

agreement between OPM and DoD is

available upon request to the public.

Requests should be submitted to the

address above or to the Chief, Quality

Assurance Division, Retirement and

Insurance Group, Office of Personnel

Management, Washington, DC 20415.

Set forth below is a 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 July 10, 1997, to the

Committee on Government Reform and

Oversight of the House of

Representatives, the Committee on

Governmental Affairs of the Senate, and

the Administrator of the Office of

Information and Regulatory Affairs,

Office of Management and Budget,

pursuant to paragraph 4b of Appendix

I to OMB Circular No. A-130, ’Federal

Agency Responsibilities for Maintaining

Records about Individuals,’ dated

February 8, 1996 (61 FR 6435, February

20, 1996). The matching program is

subject to review by OMB and Congress

and shall not become effective until that

review period has elapsed.

Dated: July 23, 1997.

L. M. Bynum,

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison

Officer Department of Defense.

COMPUTER MATCHING PROGRAM

BETWEEN THE OFFICE OF

PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT AND THE

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ON

REEMPLOYED ANNUITANTS

A. Participating Agencies:

Participants in this computer matching

program are the Quality Assurance

Division, Retirement and Insurance

Group, Office of Personnel Management

(OPM), Washington, DC 20415 and the

Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC)

of the Department of Defense (DoD). The

OPM is the source agency, i.e., the

agency disclosing the records for the

purpose of the match. The DMDC is the

specific recipient agency or matching

agency, i.e., the agency that actually

performs the computer matching.

B. Purpose of the Match: The purpose

of the computer matching program is to

identify civil service annuitants

(including disability annuitants under

age 60) who are reemployed by DoD.

This match will help insure that (1)

annuities of DoD reemployed annuitants

are terminated where applicable and, (2)

salaries are correctly offset where

applicable.

C. Authority of the Match: Both OPM

and DoD have responsibilities to

monitor and adjust retirement benefits

under Title 5 U.S.C. Section 8331

(CSRA), (especially 5 U.S.C. 8344) and

Title 5 U.S.C. Section 8401 (FERSA) et

seq. (especially 5 U.S.C. 8468).

D. Records to be matched: The match

will involve the OPM system of records

published as OPM Central-1, Civil

Service Retirement and Insurance

Records, 60 FR 63081, December 8, 1995

and the DoD system of records last

published as Defense Manpower Data

Center Data Base, S322.10 DMDC, 61 FR

6355, February 20, 1996.

Appropriate routine uses have been

published by both agencies to permit

disclosures needed to conduct this

match. They are respectively identified

and accentuated in the attached record

system notices of the parties.

E. Description of Computer Matching

Program: DMDC will match OPM data

with DoD employee data for the same

dates to make an initial determination.

DMDC will share the matched

information with appropriate DoD

offices. DoD will screen the initial data

appropriate to rule out matched

individuals who are not valid matches

according to information available to

them at the time. DoD will take

appropriate adjustment action for each

matched individual including

notification to OPM of individuals

suspected of receiving retirement

benefits to which they are not entitled.

Each individual identified as

receiving prohibited retirement benefits

will be notified of the match findings

and will be afforded due process by

OPM and given the opportunity to

contest the findings and any actions that

may ensue as a result of the match. Each

individual identified as having

improper salary will be notified by DoD

and will be given an opportunity to

contest the findings.

DMDC will provide OPM with an

annual report summarizing the results

of the matches.

The OPM file will contain the

information on approximately 1.5

million CSRA and FERSA retirees. The

DoD file contains approximately 800

thousand DoD civilian employee

records.

The tape extract provided by OPM

will contain the names, addresses,

social security numbers, payment and

service data of individuals receiving

benefits from OPM.

F. Inclusive Dates of the Matching

Prgram: This computer matching

program is subject to review by the

Office of Management and Budget and

Congress. If no objections are raised by

either, and the mandatory 30 day public

notice period for comment has expired

for this Federal Register notice with no

significant adverse public comments in

receipt resulting in a contrary

determination, then this computer

matching program becomes effective

and the respective agencies may begin

the exchange of data 30 days after the

date of this published notice at a

mutually agreeable time and will be

repeated on a quarterly basis. Under no

circumstances shall the matching

program be implemented before the 30

day public notice period for comment

has elapsed as this time period cannot

be waived. By agreement between OPM

and DoD, 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 by written request to terminate or

modify the agreement.

G. Address for Receipt of Public

Comments or Inquiries: Director,

Defense Privacy Office, Crystal Mall 4,

Room 920, 1941 Jefferson Davis
