B. Purpose of the Matching Program 

The purpose of this matching program 

is to set forth the terms and conditions 

governing disclosures of records, 

information, or data (herein collectively 

referred to as data) made by us to State 

agencies and departments (State 

agencies) that administer federally 

funded benefit programs under various 

provisions of the Social Security Act 

(Act). The terms and conditions of this 

agreement ensure that we make such 

disclosures of data, and the State uses 

such disclosed data, in accordance with 

the requirements of the Privacy Act of 

1974, as amended by the CMPPA of 

1988, 5 U.S.C. 552a. 

Under Section 1137 of the Act, States 

are required to use an income and 

eligibility verification system to 

administer specified federally funded 

benefit programs, including the statefunded state supplementary payment 

programs under title XVI of the Act. To 

assist States in determining entitlement 

to and eligibility for benefits under 

those programs, as well as other 

federally funded benefit programs, we 

disclose certain data about applicants 

for State benefits from our Privacy Act 

Systems of Records (SOR) and verify the 

Social Security numbers (SSN) of the 

applicants. 

Individual agreements with the States 

describe the information we will 

disclose and the conditions under 

which we agree to disclose such 

information.

1306(b)) (income and eligibility 

verification data); 

• 26 U.S.C. 6103(l)(7) and (8) (tax

Reference); 

• Section 205(r)(3) of the Act (42 

U.S.C. 405(r)(3)) and the Intelligence

2004, Public Law 108–458, 7213(a)(2) 

(death data); 

• Sections 402, 412, 421, and 435 of 

Public Law 104–193 (8 U.S.C. 1612, 

1622, 1631, and 1645) (quarters of 

coverage data);

and 

• The routine use exception to the 

Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) (data 

necessary to administer other programs

1306), the regulations promulgated 

pursuant to that section (20 CFR part 

401), the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C.

Institute of Standards and Technology 

guidelines, which provide the 

requirements that the State must follow 

with regard to use, treatment, and 

safeguarding of data.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: 

Caddo Parish, LA 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that an 

Environmental Impact Statement will be 

prepared for a proposed highway project 

in Caddo Parish, Louisiana. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Carl M. Highsmith, Project Delivery 

Team Leader, Louisiana Division, 

Federal Highway Administration, 5304 

Flanders Drive, Suite A, Baton Rouge, 

LA 70808, Telephone: (225) 757–7615; 

or online at www.I49shreveport.com. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the 

Louisiana Department of Transportation 

and Development (DOTD) and the 

Northwest Louisiana Council of 

Governments (NLCOG), will prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

on a proposal to construct the I–49 Inner 

City Connector. 

The proposed project is an 

approximate 3.8 mile new freeway 

designed to connect existing I–49 at its 

current junction with I–20 to future I– 

49 North at its proposed junction with 

I–220 in Shreveport, Louisiana. The 

proposed project will provide for 

improved connectivity and reduce the 

distance between existing I–49 and 

future I–49 North by approximately 7 

miles. Alternatives under consideration 

include: (1) Taking no action; (2) 

constructing an elevated freeway on 

new location; (3) constructing an atgrade freeway on new location; and (4) 

constructing a freeway that is partly 

elevated and partly at-grade on new 

location. Incorporated into and studied 

with the various build alternatives will 

be design variations of grade and 

alignment. 

Letters describing the proposed 

project and soliciting comments were 

sent to appropriate Federal, State, and 

local agencies, and to private 

organizations and citizens who have 

previously expressed or are known to 

have interest in this proposal. A series 

of Community Input Meetings were held 

at various locations in Shreveport in 

December 2011. In addition, a second 

round of Community Input Meetings are 

planned for spring 2012 followed by a 

Public Hearing late 2012. Public notice 

will be given of the time and place of 

the meetings and hearing. The draft EIS 

will be available for public and agency 

review and comment prior to the Public 

Hearing. A formal scoping meeting was 

held at NLCOG on October 18, 2011, 

when the NLCOG approved the decision 

to move the project forward as an 

Environmental Assessment. On 

December 1, 2011, FHWA determined 

the required class of action to comply 

with the NEPA process as an 

Environmental Impact Statement. 

Additional public scoping was 

conducted during the Community Input 

Meetings held in December 2011. 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to this proposed project are 

addressed and all significant issues 

identified, comments, and suggestions 

are invited from all interested parties. 

Comments or questions concerning this 

proposed project and the EIS should be 

directed to the FHWA at the address 

provided above.
