AGENCY: DoD, National Defense Panel.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice sets forth the

schedule and summary for agenda for

the meeting of the National Defense

accordance with Section 10(d) of the

Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public

Law No. 92–463, as amended (5 U.S.C.

App. II, (1982)), it has been determined

that this National Defense Panel meeting

concerns matters listed in 5 U.S.C.

552b(c)(1) (1982), and that accordingly

this meeting will be closed to the public

1997 in order for the Panel to discuss

classified material.

DATES: October 27 and 28, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Suite 532, 1931 Jefferson

Davis Hwy, Arlington VA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

National Defense Panel was established

on January 14, 1997 in accordance with

the Military Force Structure Review Act

mission of the National Defense Panel is

to provide the Secretary of Defense and

Congress with an independent, nonpartisan assessment of the Secretary’s

Computer Matching Program Between

ACTION: Notice of a computer matching

program between the Small Business
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 205 / Thursday, October 23, 1997 / Notices 55223

Administration (SBA) and the

Department of Defense (DoD) for public

comment.

SUMMARY: Subsection (e)(12) of the

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, (5

U.S.C. 552a) requires agencies to

publish advance notice of any proposed

or revised computer matching program

by the matching agency for public

comment. The DoD, as the matching

agency under the Privacy Act is hereby

giving constructive notice in lieu of

direct notice to the record subjects of a

computer matching program between

SBA and DoD that their records are

being matched by computer. The record

subjects are SBA delinquent debtors

who may be current or former Federal

employees receiving Federal salary or

benefit payments and who are

delinquent in their repayment of debts

owed to the United States Government

under programs administered by SBA so

as to permit SBA to pursue and collect

the debt by voluntary repayment or by

administrative or salary offset

procedures under the provisions of the

Debt Collection Act of 1982.

DATES: This proposed action will

become effective November 24, 1997

and the computer matching will

proceed accordingly without further

notice, unless comments are received

which would result in a contrary

determination or if the Office of

Management and Budget or Congress

objects thereto. Any public comment

must be received before the effective

date.

ADDRESSES: Any interested party may

submit written comments to the

Director, Defense Privacy Office, Crystal

Mall 4, Room 920, 1941 Jefferson Davis

Highway, Arlington, VA 22202–4502.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Aurelio Nepa, Jr. at telephone (703)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to subsection (o) of the Privacy Act of

1974, as amended, (5 U.S.C. 552a), the

DMDC and SBA have concluded an

agreement to conduct a computer

matching program between the agencies.

The purpose of the match is to exchange

personal data between the agencies for

debt collection. The match will yield

the identity and location of the debtors

within the Federal government so that

SBA can pursue recoupment of the debt

by voluntary payment or by

administrative or salary offset

procedures. Computer matching

appeared to be the most efficient and

effective manner to accomplish this task

with the least amount of intrusion of

personal privacy of the individuals

concerned. It was therefore concluded

and agreed upon that computer

matching would be the best and least

obtrusive manner and choice for

accomplishing this requirement.

A copy of the computer matching

agreement between SBA and DMDC is

available upon request to the public.

Requests should be submitted to the

address caption above or to the Deputy

Director, Office of Borrower and

Lending Service, Small Business

Administration, 409 Third Street, SW,

Suite 8300, Washington, DC 20416.

Telephone 202–205–6481.

Set forth below is a public notice of

the establishment of the computer

matching program required by

paragraph (e)(12) of the Privacy Act.

The matching agreement, as required

by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the Privacy Act,

and an advance copy of this notice was

submitted on October 7, 1997 to the

Committee on Government Reform and

Oversight of the House of

Representatives, the Committee on

Governmental Affairs of the Senate, and

the Administrator of the Office of

Information and Regulatory Affairs,

Office of Management and Budget

pursuant to paragraph 4d of Appendix

I to OMB Circular No. A–130, ‘Federal

Agency Responsibilities for Maintaining

Records about Individuals,’ dated

Febaruary 8, 1996 (61 FR 6435, February

20, 1996). The matching program is

subject to review by OMB and Congress

and shall not become effective until that

review period of 40 days has elapsed.

Dated: October 14, 1997

NOTICE OF A COMPUTER MATCHING

PROGRAM BETWEEN THE SMALL

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND

THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE FOR

DEBT COLLECTION

A. Participating Agencies:

Participants in this computer matching

program are the Small Business

Administration (SBA) and the Defense

Manpower Data Center (DMDC) of the

Department of Defense (DoD). The SBA

is the source agency, i.e., the activity

disclosing the records for the purpose of

the match. The DMDC is the specific

recipient activity or matching agency,

i.e., the agency that actually performs

the computer matching.

B. Purpose of the match: Upon the

execution of this agreement, SBA will

provide and disclose debtor records to

DMDC to identify and locate any

matched Federal personnel, employed

or retired, who owe delinquent debts to

the Federal Government under certain

programs administered by SBA. SBA

will use this information to initiate

independent collection of those debts

under the provisions of the Debt

Collection Act of 1982 when voluntary

payment is not forthcoming. These

collection efforts will include requests

by the SBA of the employing agency to

apply administrative and/or salary offset

procedures until such time as the

obligation is paid in full.

C. Authority for conducting the

match: The legal authority for

conducting the matching program is

contained in the Debt Collection Act of

1982 (Pub. L. 97–365), as amended by

the Debt Collection Improvement Act of

1996 (Pub. L. 104–134, section 31001);

31 U.S.C. Chapter 37, Subchapter I

(General) and Subchapter II (Claims of

D. Records to be matched: The

systems of records described below

ontain an appropriate routine use

disclosure between the agencies of the

information proposed in the match. The

routine use provisions are compatible

with the purpose for which the

information was collected.

The SBA will use personal data from

the Privacy Act record system identified

as SBA 075, entitled, ‘Loan Case File’,

last published in the Federal Register at

56 FR 8022 on February 26, 1991.

DMDC will use personal data from the

record systems identified as S322.11

DMDC, entitled ‘Federal Creditor

Agency Debt Collection Data Base,’ last

published in the Federal Register at 61

FR 32779, June 25, 1996.

Sections 5 and 10 of the Debt

Collection Act of 1982 (Public Law 97–

365) authorize agencies to disclose

information about debtors in order to

effect salary or administrative offsets.

Agencies must publish routine uses

pursuant to subsection (b)(3) of the

Privacy Act for those systems of records

from which they intend to disclose this

information. Sections 5 and 10 of the
55224 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 205 / Thursday, October 23, 1997 / Notices

Debt Collection Act will comprise the

necessary authority to meet the Privacy

Act’s ’compatibility’ condition.

E. Description of Computer Matching

Program: SBA, as the source agency,

will provide DMDC with an electronic

file which contains the names of

delinquent debtors in programs SBA

administers. Upon receipt of the

computer tape file of debtor accounts,

DMDC will perform a computer match

using all nine digits of the SSN of the

SBA file against a DMDC computer

database. The DMDC database,

established under an interagency

agreement between DOD, OPM, OMB,

and the Department of the Treasury,

consists of employment records of nonpostal Federal employees and military

members, active, and retired. Matching

records (’hits’), based on the SSN, will

produce the member’s name, service or

agency, category of employee, and

current work or home address. The hits

or matches will be furnished to SBA.

SBA is responsible for verifying and

determining that the data on the DMDC

reply tape file are consistent with SBA’s

source file and for resolving any

discrepancies or inconsistencies on an

individual basis. SBA will also be

responsible for making final

determinations as to positive

identification, amount of indebtedness

and recovery efforts as a result of the

match.

The electronic file tape provided by

SBA will contain data elements of the

debtor’s name, SSN, internal account

numbers and the total amount owed for

eah debtor on approximately 10,000

delinquent debtors.

The DMDC computer database file

contains approximately 10 million

records of active duty and retired

military members, including the Reserve

and Guard, and the OPM government

wide non-postal Federal civilian records

of current and retired Federal

employees.

F. Inclusive dates of the Matching

Program: This computer matching

program is subject to review by the

Office of Management and Budget and

Congress. If no objections are raised by

either, and the mandatory 30 day public

notice period for comment has expired

for this Federal Register notice with no

significant adverse public comments in

receipt resulting in a contrary

determination, then this computer

matching program becomes effective

and the respective agencies may begin

the exchange of data 30 days after the

date of this published notice at a

mutually agreeable time and will be

repeated annually. Under no

circumstances shall the matching

program be implemented before the 30

day public notice period for comment

has elapsed as this time period cannot

be waived. By agreement between SBA

and DMDC, the matching program will

be in effect and continue for 18 months

with an option to renew for 12

additional months unless one of the

parties to the agreement advises the

other by written request to terminate or

modify the agreement.
