SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 

26, 2019, the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) published OMB 

memorandum M–19–16, ‘‘Centralized 

Mission Support Capabilities for the 

Federal Government’’ (available at 

https://www.whitehouse.gov/wpcontent/uploads/2019/04/M-19-16.pdf). 

Mission support business standards, 

established and agreed to by the Chief 

Financial Officer (CFO) Act agencies, 

using the Federal Integrated Business 

Framework website at https://

ussm.gsa.gov/fibf/, enable the Federal 

Government to better coordinate on the 

decision-making needed to determine 

what mission support services can be 

adopted and commonly shared. These 

business standards are an essential first 

step towards agreement on outcomes, 

data, and cross-functional end-to-end 

processes that will drive economies of 

scale and leverage the government’s 

buying power. The business standards 

will be used as the foundation for 

common mission support services 

shared by the CFO Act agencies. 

GSA serves as the real property 

management business standards lead on 

the Business Standards Council. The 

goal of the real property management 

business standards is to drive real estate 

management consistency, equity and 

standardization across the Federal 

Government. 

This year’s updates reflect changes as 

a result of the business information 

exchange with the Financial 

Management shared service functional 

area and as a result of the environmental 

scan of recent laws, executive orders 

and other policy changes. The data 

elements, scenarios, use cases, and 

functions, activities and business 

capabilities artifacts were all updated. 

GSA is seeking public feedback on the 

annual update to the business 

standards, including comments on the 

understandability of the standards, 

suggested changes and usefulness of the 

draft standards to industry and agencies. 

Guiding questions in the standards 

development include: 

• Do the draft business standards 

appropriately document the business 

processes covered? 

• Are the draft business standards 

easy to understand? 

• Will your organization be able to 

show how your solutions or services, or 

both, can meet these draft business 

standards? 

• What would you change about the 

draft business standards? Is there 

anything missing? 

Comments will be used in the 

formulation of the final real property 

management business standards.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 

U.S.C. 552a) provides certain 

protections for individuals applying for 

and receiving Federal benefits. The law 

governs the use of computer matching 

by Federal agencies when records in a 

system of records (meaning, Federal 

agency records about individuals 

retrieved by name or other personal 

identifier) are matched with records of 

other Federal or non-Federal agencies. 

The Privacy Act requires agencies 

involved in a matching program to: 

1. Enter into a written agreement, 

which must be prepared in accordance 

with the Privacy Act, approved by the 

Data Integrity Board of each source and 

recipient Federal agency, provided to 

Congress and the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB), and made available 

to the public, as required by 5 U.S.C. 

552a(o), (u)(3)(A), and (u)(4). 

2. Notify the individuals whose 

information will be used in the 

matching program that the information 

they provide is subject to verification 

through matching, as required by 5 

U.S.C. 552a(o)(1)(D). 

3. Verify match findings before 

suspending, terminating, reducing, or 

making a final denial of an individual’s 

benefits or payments or taking other 

adverse action against the individual, as 

required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(p). 

4. Report the matching program to 

Congress and the OMB, in advance and 

annually, as required by 5 U.S.C. 

552a(o)(2)(A)(i), (r), and (u)(3)(D). 

5. Publish advance notice of the 

matching program in the Federal 

Register as required by 5 U.S.C. 

552a(e)(12). 

This matching program meets these 

requirements. 

Barbara Demopulos, 

Privacy Act Officer, Division of Security, 

Privacy Policy and Governance, Office of 

Information Technology, Centers for Medicare 

& Medicaid Services. 

PARTICIPATING AGENCIES: 

The Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS), Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services (CMS) is the 

recipient agency, and the Peace Corps is 

the source agency. 

AUTHORITY FOR CONDUCTING THE MATCHING

PROGRAM: 

The principal authority for the 

matching program is 42 U.S.C. 18001, et 

seq. 

PURPOSE(S): 

The purpose of the matching program 

is to assist CMS in determining 

individuals’ eligibility for financial 

assistance in paying for private health 

insurance coverage. In this matching 

program, the Peace Corps provides CMS 

with daily files, identifying all Peace 

Corps volunteers and the dates when 

each volunteer was eligible for coverage 

under a Peace Corps health benefit plan, 

which CMS makes available to state 

administering entities (AEs) through a 

data services hub, under a separate 

matching agreement. CMS and AEs use 

the Peace Corps data to verify whether 

an individual who is applying for or is 

enrolled in private health insurance 

coverage under a qualified health plan 

through a federally-facilitated or statebased health insurance exchange is 

eligible for coverage under a Peace 

Corps health benefit plan, for the 

purpose of determining the individual’s 

eligibility for financial assistance 

(including an advance tax credit and 

cost sharing reduction, which are types 

of insurance affordability programs) in 

paying for private health insurance 

coverage. Peace Corps health benefit 

plans provide minimum essential 

coverage, and eligibility for such plans 

precludes eligibility for financial 

assistance in paying for private 

coverage. The data provided by the 

Peace Corps under this matching 

program will be used by CMS and AEs 

to authenticate identity, determine 

eligibility for financial assistance, and 

determine the amount of any financial 

assistance. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS: 

The categories of individuals whose 

information is involved in the matching 

program are: (1) active and recently 

separated Peace Corps volunteers, 

identified in data CMS receives from the 

Peace Corps, and (2) consumers who 

apply for or are enrolled in private 

insurance coverage under a qualified 

health plan through a federallyfacilitated or state-based health 

insurance exchange (and other relevant 

individuals, such as applicants’ and 

enrollees’ household members), whose 

records are matched against the data 

CMS receives from the Peace Corps. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS: 

The categories of records which will 

be provided by the Peace Corps to CMS 

in this matching program are identity 

records and minimum essential 

coverage period records, consisting of 

these data elements: last name, middle 

initial, first name, and date of birth. 

CMS will not send any data about 

individual applicants/enrollees to the 

Peace Corps in order to receive this data 

about Peace Corps volunteers. 

SYSTEM(S) OF RECORDS: 

A. System of Records Maintained by 

CMS 

The applicable CMS system of records 

is CMS Health Insurance Exchanges 

System (HIX), CMS System No. 09–70– 

0560, last published in full at 78 FR
