Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 249 / Tuesday, December 30, 1997 / Notices 67921

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to Pub. L. 104–193, the Personal

Responsibility and Work Opportunity

Reconciliation Act of 1996, the NEH

will disclose data from its NEH–3

system of records to the Office of Child

Support Enforcement, Administration

for Children and Families, Department

of Health and Human Services for use

in the National Database of New Hires,

part of the Federal Parent Locator

Service (FPLS) and Federal Tax Offset

System, DHHS/OCSE No. 09–90–0074.

A description of the Federal Parent

Locator Service may be found at 62 FR

51663 (October 2, 1997).

FPLS is a computerized network

through which States may request

location information from Federal and

State agencies to find non-custodial

parents and their employees for

purposes of establishing paternity and

securing support. On October 1, 1997,

the FPLS was expanded to include the

National Directory of New Hires, a

database containing employment

information on employees recently

hired, quarterly wage data on private

and public sector employees, and

information on unemployment

compensation benefits. October 1, 1998,

the FPLS will be expanded further 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, the State will be notified. State

requests to the FPLS for location

information will continue to be

processed after October 1, 1998.

When individuals are hired by the

NEH, we may disclose to the FPLS their

names, social security numbers, home

addresses, dates of birth, dates of hire,

and information identifying us as the

employer. We also may disclose the

FPLS names, social security numbers,

and quarterly earnings of each NEA or

NEH employee, within one month of the

end of the quarterly reporting period.

Information submitted by the NEH 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 NEH 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.

Accordingly, the NEH–3 system

notice originally published in 47 FR

21352 (May 18, 1982), and most recently

amended in 49 FR 42998 (October 25,

1984), is further amended by addition of

the following routine use:

* * * * *

Routine use of records maintained in

the system, including categories of users

and the purposes of such uses:

1115.6(c) The names, social security

numbers, home addresses, dates of

birth, dates of hire, quarterly earnings,

employer identifying information, and

State of hire of employees may be

disclosed to the Office of Child Support

Enforcement, Administration for

Children and Families, Department of

Health and Human Services for the

purpose of locating individuals to

establish paternity, establishing and

modifying orders of child support,

identifying sources of income, and for

other child support enforcement actions

as required by the Personal

Responsibility and Work Opportunity

Reconciliation Act (Welfare Reform law,

Pub. L. 104–193).
