DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

[AAG/A Order No. 141–97]

Privacy Act of 1974; As Amended by

The Computer Matching and Privacy

Protection Act of 1988

This notice is published in the

Federal Register in accordance with the

requirements of the Privacy Act, as

amended by the Computer Matching

and Privacy Protection Act of 1988

(CMPPA) (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(12)). The

Immigration and Naturalization Service

(INS), Department of Justice (the source

agency), is participating in a computer

matching program with the

Massachusetts Department of

Employment and Training (MA–DET)

(the recipient agency). Matching

activities under this program will

permit MA–DET to confirm the

immigration status of alien applicants

for, or recipients of, unemployment

compensation benefits under the

‘‘Systematic Alien Verification for

Entitlements (SAVE)’’ program as

required by the Immigration Reform and

Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 (Pub. L. 99–

603).

Section 121(c) of IRCA amended

section 1137 of the Social Security Act

and other statutes to require agencies

which administer the Federal Benefits

programs designated within IRCA to use

the INS verification system to determine

eligibility. Accordingly, through the use

of user identification codes and

passwords, authorized persons from

these agencies may electronically access

the database of an INS system of records

entitled ‘‘Alien Status Verification

Index, Justice/INS–009.’’ From its

automated records system, MA–DET

may enter electronically into the INS

database the alien registration number

of the applicant or recipient. This action

will initiate a search of the INS database

for a corresponding alien registration

number. Where such number is located,

MA–DET will receive electronically

from the INS database the following

data upon which to determine

eligibility: Alien registration number,

last name, first name, date of birth,

country of birth, social security number

(if available), data of entry, immigration

status data, and employment eligibility

data. In accordance with 5 U.S.C.

552a(p), MA–DET will provide the alien

applicant with 30 days notice and an

opportunity to contest any adverse

finding before final action is taken

against that alien because of ineligible

immigration status as established

through the computer match.

The original effective date of the

matching programs was February 28,

1990, for which notice was published in

the Federal Register on January 29,

1990 (55 FR 2890). The program has

continued to date under the authority of

a series of new approvals as required by

the CMPPA. The CMPPA provides that

based upon approval by agency Data

Integrity Boards of a new computer

matching agreement, computer

matching activities may be conducted

for 18 months and, contingent upon

specific conditions, may be similarly

extended by the Board for an additional
43352 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 156 / Wednesday, August 13, 1997 / Notices

year without the necessity of a new

agreement. The most recent one-year

extension for this program will expire

on September 9, 1997. Therefore, the

Department’s Data Integrity Board has

approved a new agreement to permit the

continuation of the above-named

computer matching program for another

18-month period from the effective date

(described below).

Matching activities under the new

agreement will be effective 30 days after

publication of this computer matching

notice in the Federal Register, or 40

days after a report concerning the

computer matching program has been

transmitted to the Office of Management

and Budget, and transmitted to Congress

along with a copy of the agreements,

whichever is later. The agreement (and

matching activities) will continue for a

period of 18 months from the effective

date—unless, within 3 months prior to

the expiration of the agreement, the Data

Integrity Board approves a one-year

extension pursuant to 5 U.S.C.

552a(o)(2)(D).

In accordance with 5 U.S.C.

552a(o)(2)(A) and (r), the required report

is being provided to the Office of

Management and Budget, and to the

Congress together with a copy of the

agreement.

In accordance with Section 223 of the

Department of Labor issued a

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for

Worker Adjustment Assistance on June

Jersey. The notice was published in the

Federal Register on June 27, 1997 (62 FR

34711).

At the request of the company, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. New

information received by the company

shows that worker separations occurred

at the New York, New York location of

C.O.L.A. when the entire company

closed in May, 1997. The New York,

New York location was a showroom for

piece good purchasing, sales and styling

for the Jersey City, New Jersey location.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

C.O.L.A. who were adversely affected by

increased imports of ladies’ skirts, pants

and shorts. Accordingly, the Department

is amended the certification to cover the

workers of C.O.L.A., New York, New

York.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–33,548 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of C.O.L.A., Jersey City, New

Jersey (TA–W–33,548), and New York, New

York (TA–W–33,548A) who became totally or

partially separated from employment on or

after April 15, 1996 are eligible to apply for

adjustment assistance under Section 223 of

the Trade Act of 1974.
