Matching Program

AGENCY: Financial Management Service,

Treasury.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a, the

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, and

the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) Guidelines on the Conduct of

Matching Programs dated June 19, 1989,

notice is hereby given of the conduct of

a Financial Management Service (FMS)

matching activity.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 24, 1997.

ADDRESS: Comments or inquiries may be

submitted to the Debt Management

Services, Financial Management

Service, 401 14th Street, SW, Room 151,

Washington, DC 20227.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Gerry Isenberg, Financial Program

Specialist, Debt Management Services,

(202) 874–6660.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FMS is the

central disbursing source for the Federal

Government and currently receives

recurring and non-recurring payment

certification records from departments

and agencies of the Government. FMS

has a ‘‘system of records’’ (as defined in

the Privacy Act of 1974) for

nonrecurring payments entitled

‘‘Payment Records for Other than

Regular Recurring Benefit Payments’’

identified as Treasury/FMS .016.

FMS is also the lead agency in the

Federal Government for debt collection,

and collects non-tax debts owed to the

Federal Government. FMS has a

‘‘system of records’’ for debt collection
7826 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 34 / Thursday, February 20, 1997 / Notices

entitled ‘‘Debt Collection Operations

System’’ identified as Treasury/FMS

.014.

The Debt Collection Improvement Act

of 1996 (‘‘DCIA’’) amended the

administrative offset statute, 31 U.S.C.

3716, by statutorily providing for

centralized administrative offset by

disbursing officials of the United States.

This statutory provision takes advantage

of FMS’ role as the primary disbursing

agency for the Federal Government.

This match of records contained in the

two systems of records identified above

is intended to help implement

disbursing official offset within the

Department of the Treasury. As a match

of two Treasury systems of records, the

intended match may be an internal

match which is not subject to the

requirements of the Computer Matching

and Privacy Protection Act of 1988 (see

5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(8)(B)(v)(II)). The

preparation of this Notice and any other

documents which would be required for

a matching program is intended to

assure compliance with the Computer

Matching and Privacy Protection Act of

1988, if judicial interpretation would

deem this computerized comparison a

‘‘matching program.’’ This notice should

not be construed as a determination or

admission by the agency that this match

is a ‘‘matching program.’’

The DCIA provides authority for

Treasury to waive subsections (o) and

(p) of 5 U.S.C. 552a (relating to

computer matching agreements, and

post-offset notification and verification)

upon written certification by the head of

a State or an executive, judicial, or

legislative agency seeking to collect the

claim that the requirements of

subsection (a) of 31 U.S.C. 3716 have

been met. Such waiver will be in effect

prior to the commencement of the

computer matching program. Interested

parties may obtain documents

concerning the waiver from the contact

listed above.

NAME OF SOURCE AGENCY:

Financial Management Service

NAME OF RECIPIENT AGENCY:

Financial Management Service

BEGINNING AND COMPLETION DATES:

This program of computer matches

will commence not earlier than the

thirtieth day after this notice appears in

the Federal Register. The matching

activity will continue indefinitely.

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this program of

computer matches is to identify

payments made to individuals who owe

delinquent debts to the Federal

Government, and to offset such

payments where appropriate to satisfy

those debts.

AUTHORITY:

Authority for this program of

computer matches is granted under 31

U.S.C. 3716.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED:

Individuals receiving payments,

which are not recurring benefit

payments, from the Federal Government

which are disbursed by the Financial

Management Service; and individuals

who are indebted to the United States

and whose debts may be collected by

offset in accordance with 31 U.S.C.

3716.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS COVERED:

Included in this program of computer

matches is information concerning the

debtor contained in the Debt Collection

Operations System (Treasury/FMS .014)

including name, taxpayer identification

number, the amount of the

indebtedness, the name and address of

the agency who is principally

responsible for collecting the debt, and

the name, phone number and address of

an agency contact. Information

contained in Payment Records for Other

than Regular Recurring Benefit

Payments (Treasury/FMS .016) which

shall be included in this program of

computer matches shall include name,

taxpayer identification number, mailing

address, and the amount of payment.
