Privacy Act of 1974; Notice of a

Computer Matching Program

AGENCY: Department of Housing and

Urban Development (HUD).

ACTION: Notice of a Computer Matching

Program—HUD and Department of

Veterans Affairs (VA).

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as

amended by the Computer Matching

and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, as

amended, (Pub. L. 100–503), and the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) Guidelines on the Conduct of

Matching Programs (54 FR 25818 (June

19, 1989)), and OMB Bulletin 89–22,

‘‘Instructions on Reporting Computer

Matching Programs to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB),

Congress and the Public,’’ the

Department of Housing and Urban

Development (HUD) is issuing a public

notice of its intent to conduct a

recurring computer matching program

with the Department of Veterans Affairs

(VA) to utilize a computer information

system of HUD, the Credit Alert

Interactive Voice Response System

(CAIVRS), with VA’s debtor files. This

match will allow prescreening of

applicants for loans or loans guaranteed

by the Federal Government to ascertain

if the applicant is delinquent in paying

a debt owed to or insured by the Federal

Government for HUD or VA direct or

guaranteed loans. Before granting a loan,

the lending agency and/or the

authorized lending institution will be

able to interrogate the CAIVRS debtor

file which contains delinquent debt

information from the Departments of

Agriculture, Education, Veterans

Affairs, the Small Business

Administration and judgment lien data

from the Department of Justice, and

verify that the loan applicant is not in

default on a Federal judgment or

delinquent on direct or guaranteed loans

of participating Federal programs. This

match will allow prescreening of

applicants for debts owed or loans

guaranteed by the Federal Government

to ascertain if the applicant is

delinquent in paying a debt owed to or

insured by the Federal Government.

Authorized users do a prescreening of

CAIVRS to determine a loan applicant’s

credit status with the Federal

Government. As a result of the

information produced by this match, the

authorized users may not deny,

terminate, or make a final decision of

any loan assistance to an applicant or

take other adverse action against such

applicant, until an officer or employee

of such agency has independently

verified such information.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Computer matching is

expected to begin 40 days after

publication of this notice (October 1,

1997), unless comments are received

which will result in a contrary

determination, or 40 days from the date

a computer matching agreement is

signed, whichever is later.

DATE: Comments due by October 1,

1997.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are

invited to submit comments regarding

this notice to the Rule Docket Clerk,

Office of General Counsel, Room 10276,
