49960 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 185 / Wednesday, September 24, 1997 / Notices

Myrna Hernandez, U.S. Commission on

Civil Rights, 624 9th Street NW., Suite

510, Washington, DC 20425.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion of Proposed Changes to

Routine Use

Pursuant to the Pub. L. 104–193, the

Personal Responsibility and Work

Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996,

the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights

will disclose data from its USDA Payroll

Personnel System-National Finance

Center to the Office of Child Support

Enforcement, Administration for

Children and Families, Department of

Health and Human Services for use in

its Federal Parent Locator System

(FPLS) and Federal Tax Offset System,

DHHS/OCSE No. 09–90–0074.

Information on this system was last

published at 61 FR 38754, July 25, 1996.

FPLS is a computerized network

through which States may request

location information from Federal and

State agencies to find non-custodial

parents and/or their employers for

purposes of establishing paternity and

securing support.

Effective October 1, 1997, the FPLS

will be enlarged to include the National

Directory of New Hires, a database

containing information on employees

commencing employment, quarterly

wage data on private and public sector

employees, and information on

unemployment compensation benefits.

Effective October 1, 1998, the FPLS will

be expanded to include a Federal Case

Registry. The Federal Case Registry will

contain abstracts on all participants

involved in child support enforcement

cases. When the Federal Case Registry is

instituted, its files will be matched on

an ongoing basis against the files in the

National Directory of New Hires to

determine if an employee is a

participant in a child support case

anywhere in the country. If the FPLS

identifies a person as being a participant

in a State child support case, that State

will be notified of the participant’s

current employer. State requests to the

FPLS for location information will also

continue to be processed after October

1, 1998.

The data to be disclosed by the U.S.

Commission on Civil Rights to the FPLS

include: name, address, social security

number and name and address of the

agency.

In addition, names and social security

numbers submitted by the U.S.

Commission on Civil Rights to the FPLS

will be disclosed by the Office of Child

Support Enforcement to the Social

Security Administration for verification

to ensure that the social security

number provided is correct.

The data disclosed by the U.S.

Commission on Civil Rights to the FPLS

will also be disclosed by the Office of

Child Support Enforcement to the

Secretary of the Treasury for use in

verifying claims for the advance

payment of the earned income tax credit

or to verify a claim of employment on

a tax return.

II. Compatibility of Proposed Routine

Uses

We are proposing these routine uses

in accordance with the Privacy Act (5

U.S.C. 552a(b)(3)). The Privacy Act

permits the disclosure of information

about individuals without their consent

for a routine use where the information

will be used for a purpose which is

compatible with the purpose for which

the information was originally collected.

The Office of Management and Budget

has indicated that a ‘‘compatible’’ use is

a use which is necessary and proper.

See OMB Guidelines, 51 FR 18982,

18985 (1986). Since the proposed uses

of the data are required by Pub. L. 104–

193, they are clearly necessary and

proper uses, and therefore ‘‘compatible’’

uses which meet Privacy Act

requirements.

III. Effect of the Proposed Changes on

Individuals

We will disclose information under

the proposed routine uses only as

required by Pub. L. 104–193 and as

permitted by the Privacy Act.

Accordingly, the Personnel Records

system notice originally published at FR

vol. 40, no. 171, September 3, 1975, is

amended as set forth below.

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:

(1) To the Office of Child Support

support and for enforcement action.

(2) To the Office of Child Support

Enforcement for release to the Social

Security Administration for verifying

social security numbers in connection

with the operation of the FPLS by the

Office of Child Support Enforcement.

(3) To Office of Child Support

Enforcement for release to the

Department of the Treasury for purposes

of administering the Earned Income Tax

Credit Program (Section 32, Internal
