SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD is 

providing this notice in accordance with 

the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), 

as amended by the Computer Matching 

and Privacy Protection Act of 1988 (Pub. 

L. 100–503) and the Computer Matching 

and Privacy Protection Amendments of 

1990 (Pub. L. 101–508) (Privacy Act); 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) Final Guidance Interpreting the 

Provisions of Public Law 100–503, the 

Computer Matching and Privacy 

Protection Act of 1988, 54 FR 25818 

(June 19, 1989); and OMB Circular A– 

108, 81 FR 94424 (December 23, 2016). 

To support the prevention and 

detection of duplication of benefits, 

HUD will request data from FEMA on 

an as-needed basis to share with 

Community Development Block Grant 

disaster recovery (CDBG–DR) grantees, 

and the grantees will use the data to 

detect and prevent the duplication of 

benefits. CDBG–DR grantees will 

conduct a duplication of benefits review 

for CDBG–DR grant-funded programs 

and activities. HUD’s data request will 

be based on the specific program 

requirements specified in an approved 

CDBG–DR grantee action plan. CDBG– 

DR grantees will use FEMA data 

received through HUD to facilitate 

expedited program implementation 

while preventing the duplication of 

benefits already received from FEMA. 

All data sharing from HUD to CDBG–DR 

grantees will occur in accordance with 

agreements between HUD and the 

CDBG–DR grantees that address 

requirements related to the use and 

protection of the data. 

Participating Agencies: U.S. 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development (HUD), the State of 

Missouri, the State of Oklahoma, the 

State of New Jersey, the State of 

Pennsylvania, the State of New York, 

the State of Oregon, and the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. 

Authority for Conducting the 

Matching Program: 

A. Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief 

and Emergency Assistance Act (as 

amended at 42 U.S.C. 5155(a) et seq.) 

(Stafford Act), section 312, which 

requires each Federal agency that 

administers any program providing 

financial assistance because of a major 

disaster or emergency to assure that no 

individual or entity receives duplicate 

financial assistance under any program, 

from insurance, or through any other 

source. The Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 

5155(c), requires FEMA or HUD 

(whichever agency provided the 

duplicative assistance) to recover all 

duplicative assistance from the recipient 

when the head of such agency considers 

it to be in the best interest of the Federal 

Government. 

B. Section 408(i) of the Stafford Act, 

42 U.S.C. 5174(i), directs and authorizes 

FEMA, in carrying out section 408 

(Federal Assistance to Individuals and 

Households), to ‘‘develop a system, 

including an electronic database,’’ to: (a) 

Verify the identity and address of 

recipients of assistance to provide 

reasonable assurance that payments are 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 27 / Thursday, February 8, 2024 / Notices 8699 

made only to an individual or 

household that is eligible for such 

assistance, (b) Minimize the risk of 

making duplicative payments or 

payments for fraudulent claims, (c) 

Collect any duplicate payment on a 

claim or reduce the amount of 

subsequent payments to offset the 

amount of any such duplicate payment, 

(d) Provide instructions to recipients of 

assistance regarding the proper use of 

any such assistance, regardless of how 

such assistance is distributed, and (e) 

Conduct an expedited and simplified 

review and appeal process for an 

individual or household whose 

application for assistance is denied. 

C. HUD imposes the requirements of 

the Stafford Act, section 312, on CDBG– 

DR grantees. Appropriations acts 

making CDBG–DR funds available, as 

listed in section II.C.8 of the Computer 

Matching Agreement, require CDBG–DR 

grantees to have adequate procedures to 

prevent the duplication of benefits. 

HUD enforces these requirements on 

CDBG–DR grantees using its statutory 

and regulatory remedies for 

noncompliance in section 111 of title I 

of the Housing and Community 

Development of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5311) 

and regulations at 24 CFR part 570 and 

2 CFR part 200. 

D. Executive Order 13411, ‘‘Improving 

Assistance for Disaster Victims,’’ 71 FR 

52729 (August 29, 2006), calls on 

Federal agencies to ‘‘reduce 

unnecessarily duplicative application 

forms and processes for Federal disaster 

assistance,’’ which includes processing 

benefits applications submitted by 

individuals, businesses, or other entities 

for the same disaster. 

E. The President may authorize both 

emergency sheltering and section 408 

Federal assistance to individuals and 

households, pursuant to either a major 

disaster under section 403, at 42 U.S.C. 

5170b, or an emergency under section 

502 of the Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5192. 

Essential Assistance, pursuant to section 

403(a)(3)(B) of the Stafford Act, 42 

U.S.C. 5170b, authorizes emergency 

sheltering, including both congregate 

and non-congregate sheltering, to meet 

the immediate needs of disaster 

survivors for a major disaster. 

Additionally, Federal assistance where 

necessary to prevent human suffering 

under section 502(a)(8) authorizes 

emergency sheltering for an emergency. 

F. The Debt Collection Improvement 

Act of 1996, 31 U.S.C. 3325(d) and 

7701(c)(1), which requires federal 

agencies to collect the Taxpayer 

Identification Number (TIN) or Social 

Security Number (SSN) of each person 

who receives payments from the Federal 

Government; and each person doing 

business with the Federal Government 

is required to furnish his or her TIN. For 

the purposes of 31 U.S.C. 7701, a person 

is doing business with the Federal 

Government if the person is: (1) A 

lender or servicer in a Federal 

guaranteed or insured loan program 

administered by a Federal agency, (2) 

An applicant for, or recipient of, a 

Federal license permit, right-of-way, 

grant, or benefit payment administered 

by a Federal agency, (3) A contractor of 

a Federal agency, (4) Assessed a fine, 

fee, royalty, or penalty by a Federal 

agency, or (5) In a relationship with a 

Federal agency that may give rise to a 

receivable due to that agency such as a 

partner of a borrower in or a guarantor 

of a Federal direct or insured loan 

administered by the Federal agency. 

Each Federal agency must inform each 

person required to disclose his or her 

TIN of the agency’s intent to use such 

number for purposes of collecting and 

reporting on any delinquent amounts 

arising out of such person’s relationship 

with the Federal Government. 

G. The appropriations acts that 

authorize and appropriate supplemental 

CDBG–DR assistance lay out specific 

requirements, some of which may vary 

by appropriation. These appropriations 

acts impose requirements related to the 

(1) prevention of fraud, waste, and 

abuse, (2) order of assistance, and (3) 

prevention of duplication of benefits on 

HUD or its CDBG–DR grantees, as 

directed by the applicable act. The 

appropriations acts, listed below, also 

require HUD to make allocations based 

on a determination of unmet need in the 

‘‘most impacted and distressed areas’’ 

resulting from major disasters. 

Legal authority for CDBG–DR 

assistance is derived from title I of the 

Housing and Community Development 

Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.); 

subsequent appropriations acts making 

CDBG–DR assistance available; the 

following prior appropriations acts— 

Public Law 117–328, 117–180, 117–43, 

116–20, 115–254, 115–123, 115–56, 

115–31, 114–254, 114–223, 114–113, 

113–2, 112–55, 111–212, 110–329, 110– 

252, 110–116, 109–234, 109–148, 108– 

324, 107–206, 107–117, 107–73, 107–38, 

106–31, 105–277, 105–276, 105–174, 

105–18, 104–134, 104–19, 103–327, 

103–211, 103–75, and 103–50–and by 

the notices published in the Federal 

Register that govern CDBG–DR grant 

assistance including the Updates to 

Duplication of Benefits Requirements 

Under the Stafford Act for Community 

Development Block Grant (CDBG) 

Disaster Recovery Grantees at 84 FR 

28836 (June 20, 2019). 

H. The HUD regulation at 24 CFR 

982.352(c) prohibits a family from 

receiving the benefit of section 8 tenantbased assistance under the Housing 

Choice Voucher Program while also 

receiving the benefit of any of the 

following forms of other housing 

subsidy for the same or a different unit: 

1. Public or Indian housing assistance, 

2. Section 8 assistance (including 

other tenant-based assistance) under 

section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 

1937, 42 U.S.C. 1437f, 

3. Assistance under former section 23 

of the United States Housing Act of 

1937 (before amendment by the Housing 

and Community Development Act of 

1974), 

4. Section 101 of the Housing and 

Urban Development Act of 1965, 12 

U.S.C.1701s (section 101 rent 

supplements), 

5. Section 236 of the National 

Housing Act, 12 U.S.C.1715z–1 (section 

236 rental assistance payments), 

6. Tenant-based assistance under the 

HOME Investment Partnerships Program 

(HOME) authorized by Title II of the 

Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable 

Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. 12701 et seq., 

7. Rental assistance payments under 

section 521 of the Housing Act of 1949, 

42 U.S.C. 258 1441 et seq. (a program of 

the Rural Development Administration), 

8. Any local or State rent subsidy, 

9. Section 202 of the Housing Act of 

1959, 12 U.S.C. 1701q, as amended 

(section 202 supportive housing for the 

elderly), 

10. Section 811 of the CranstonGonzalez National Affordable Housing 

Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 8013 

(section 811 supportive housing for 

persons with disabilities), 

11. Section 202 projects for nonelderly persons with disabilities (section 

162 assistance) authorized by section 

162 of the Housing and Community 

Development Act of 1987, 12 U.S.C. 

1701a note, amending section 202(h) of 

the Housing Act of 1959, or 

12. Any other duplicative Federal, 

State, or local housing subsidy, as 

determined by HUD. For this purpose, 

‘‘housing subsidy’’ does not include the 

housing component of a welfare 

payment, a Social Security payment 

received by the family, or a rent 

reduction because of a tax credit. (June 

20, 2019). 

Purpose(s): The Computer Matching 

Agreements describe the respective 

responsibilities of HUD and the State of 

Missouri, the State of Oklahoma, the 

State of New Jersey, the State of 

Pennsylvania, the State of New York, 

the State of Oregon, and the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico to 

determine and verify the accuracy of the 

data, eligibility for their respective 

benefits, and to preserve the 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
8700 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 27 / Thursday, February 8, 2024 / Notices 

confidentiality of information in 

accordance with the matching program. 

The requirements of the Computer 

Matching Agreements will be carried 

out by authorized users of the State of 

Missouri, the State of Oklahoma, the 

State of New Jersey, the State of 

Pennsylvania, the State of New York, 

the State of Oregon, and the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (which 

include the grantees’ authorized 

employees, and contractors). The 

agreements also describe the 

responsibilities of HUD, HUD’s CDBG– 

DR grantees, and DHS–FEMA for other 

purposes, as described below. 

The Computer Matching Agreements 

establish the terms and conditions 

governing the CDBG–DR grantees access 

to, and use of FEMA’s Individual 

Assistance (IA), Individual’s and 

Household Program data. HUD will 

request data from FEMA on an asneeded basis. FEMA will perform data 

analysis and generate a file for HUD. All 

FEMA program data that HUD provides 

to CDBG–DR grantees will be shared via 

these Computer Matching Agreements 

between HUD and CDBG–DR grantees 

that reflect the requirements of an 

existing Computer Matching Agreement 

between FEMA and HUD. The data 

exchanged between HUD and CDBG–DR 

grantees will be used to support the 

duplication of benefits checks 

conducted by the grantee. There is an 

existing Computer Matching Agreement 

between FEMA and HUD that 

establishes the terms and conditions 

governing HUD’s access to FEMA’s 

Individual Assistance (IA), Individual’s 

and Household Program data. 

HUD will provide FEMA data to 

CDBG–DR grantees, pursuant to their 

separate Computer Matching 

Agreements, for them to use to 

determine the correct award amount for 

eligible program beneficiaries by 

identifying unmet needs of FEMA 

applicants; prevent the duplication of 

benefits; implement the statutory 

requirement that CDBG–DR funds may 

not be used for activities reimbursable 

by or for which funds are made 

available by FEMA; and implement the 

statutory requirement to establish 

procedures to detect and prevent waste, 

fraud, and abuse of funds. 

Categories of Individuals: DHS/FEMA 

data in this matching program includes 

individuals that have applied for or 

expressed interest in disaster assistance. 

HUD provides the FEMA data to 

grantees in this matching program for 

the verification of individuals who have 

applied for or received assistance via 

HUD assistance programs.

[Docket No: FR–7092–N–19] 

Privacy Act of 1974; Matching Program 

AGENCY: Real Estate Assessment Center, 

Office of Public and Indian Housing, 

HUD. 

ACTION: Notice of a re-established 

matching program. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Computer 

Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 

1988, as amended, HUD is providing 

notice of its intent to execute a new 

computer matching agreement with 

HHS for a recurring matching program 

with HUD’s Office of Public and Indian 

Housing (PIH) and Office of Housing, 

involving comparisons of information 

provided by participants in any 

authorized HUD rental housing 

assistance program with the 

independent sources of income 

information available through the 

National Directory of New Hires 

(NDNH) maintained by HHS. HUD will 

obtain HHS data and make the results 

available to: (1) Program administrators 

such as public housing agencies (PHAs) 

and private owners and management 

agents (O/As) (collectively referred to as 

POAs) to enable them to verify the 

accuracy of income reported by the 

tenants (participants) of HUD rental 

assistance programs and (2) contract 

administrators (Cas) overseeing and 

monitoring O/A operations as well as 

independent public auditors (IPAs) that 

audit both PHAs and O/As. The most 

recent renewal of the current matching
