BILLING CODE 4410–01–M

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
