Secretariat, Equal Employment

Opportunity Commission, room 10402,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion of Proposed Routine Use

Pursuant to the Personal

Responsibility and Work Opportunity

Reconciliation Act of 1996, Pub. L. 104–

193, EEOC will disclose data from its

system of records, EEOC–7, Employee

Pay and Leave Records, 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. 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 was 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 on

October 1, 1998, 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 EEOC to

the Office of Child Support Enforcement

for use in the FPLS include employees’

names, addresses, social security

numbers and wages paid quarterly. In

addition, names and social security

numbers submitted by EEOC for use in

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 EEOC to the

Office of Child Support Enforcement

will also be disclosed by that office to

the Secretary of the Treasury for use in

verifying claims for the advance

payment of 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 that is necessary and proper. See

OMB Guidelines, 51 FR 18982, 18985

(1986). Since the proposed uses of the

data are required by the Personal

Responsibility and Work Opportunity

Reconciliation Act of 1996, Pub. L. No.

104–193, they are clearly necessary and

proper uses, and therefore,

‘‘compatible’’ uses that 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 the Personal Responsibility

and Work Opportunity Reconciliation

Act of 1996 and as permitted by the

Privacy Act.

Accordingly, EEOC–7, Employee Pay

and Leave Records, most recently

published at 46 FR 11056, 11061 (March

9, 1994), is amended as set forth below.

* * * * *

Routine uses of records maintained in

the system, including categories of users

and the purposes of such uses:

* * * * *

c. To disclose information to the

Office of Child Support Enforcement,

Administration for Children and

Families, Department of Health and

Human Services Federal Parent Locator

System (FPLS) and Federal Tax Offset

System for use in locating individuals

and identifying their income sources to

establish paternity, establish and modify

orders of support and for enforcement

action.

d. To disclose information 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.

e. To disclose information to the

Office of Child Support Enforcement for

release to the Department of Treasury

for purposes of administering the

Earned Income Tax Credit Program

(Section 32, Internal Revenue Code of

1986) and verifying a claim with respect

to employment in a tax return.

Dated: November 19, 1997.

For the Commission.

Chairman.
