RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD

Computer Matching and Privacy

Protection Act of 1988; Notice of RRB

Records Used in Computer Matching

AGENCY: Railroad Retirement Board

(RRB).

ACTION: Notice of Records Used in

Computer Matching Programs;

Notification to individuals who are

beneficiaries under the Railroad

Retirement Act.

SUMMARY: As required by the Computer

Matching and Privacy Protection Act of

1988, RRB is issuing public notice of its

use and intent to use, in ongoing

computer matching programs, civil

service benefit and payment information

obtained from the Office of Personnel

Management (OPM).

The purpose of this notice is to advise

individuals applying for or receiving

benefits under the Railroad Retirement

Act of the use made by RRM of this

information obtained from OPM by

means of a computer match.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties may

comment on this publication by writing

to Ms. Beatrice Ezerski, Secretary to the

Board, Railroad Retirement Board, 844

North Rush Street, Chicago, Illinois

60611–2092.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

LeRoy Blommaert, Privacy Act Officer,

Railroad Retirement Board, 844 North

Rush Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611–

2092, telephone number (312) 751–

4548.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Computer Matching and Privacy

Protection Act of 1988, Pub. L. 100–503,

requires a Federal agency participating

in a computer matching program to

publish a notice regarding the

establishment of a matching program.

Name of Participating Agencies

Office of Personnel Management and

Railroad Retirement Board.

Purpose of the Match

The purpose of the match is to enable

the RRM to (1) Identify affected RRB

annuitants who are in receipt of a

Federal public pension benefit but who

have not reported receipt of this benefit

to the RRB and (2) receive needed

Federal public pension benefit

information for affected RRB annuitants

more timely and accurately. Previously

the RRB relied on the affected annuitant

to report adjustments in the amounts of

such public pension benefits.

Authority for Conducting the Match

Sections 3(a)(1), 4(a)(1) and 4(f)(1) of

the Railroad Retirement Act require that

the RRB reduce the Railroad Retirement

benefits of certain beneficiaries entitled

to Railroad Retirement employee and/or

spouse/widow benefits who are also

entitled to a government pension based

on their own noncovered earnings. This

reduction is referred to as Public Service

Pension offset. Section 224 of the Social

Security Act provides for the reduction

of disability benefits when the disabled

worker is also entitled to a public

disability benefit (PDB). This reduction

is referred to as PDB offset. A civil

service disability benefit is considered a

PDB. Section 224(h)(1) requires any

Federal agency to provide RRB with

information in its possession that RRB

may require for the purposes of making

a timely determination of the amount of

reduction under section 224 of the

Social Security Act. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C.

Section 552a(b)(3) OPM has established

routine uses to disclose the subject

information to RRB.

Categories of RECORDS and

Individuals Covered

The records to be used in the match

and the roles of the matching

participants are described as follows:

59882 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 195 / Friday, October 6, 2000 / Notices

OPM will provide RRB with a magnetic

tape file extracted from its annuity and

survivor master file of its Civil Service

Retirement and Insurance Records. The

Privacy Act System of Records

designation is OPM/Central-1. The

following information from this OPM

Privacy Act System of Records will be

transmitted to RRB for the

approximately 2.3 million records in the

system: name, social security number,

date of birth, civil service claim number,

first potential month and year of

eligibility for civil service benefits, first

month, day, year of entitlement to civil

service benefits, amount of gross civil

service benefits, and effective date

(month, day, year) of civil service

amount, and where applicable, civil

service disability indicator, civil service

FICA covered month indicator, and civil

service total service months. The RRB

will match the Social Security number,

name, and date of birth contained in the

OPM file against the same fields in its

Master Benefit File. The Privacy Act

System of Records designations for this

file is: RRB–26, ‘‘Payment, Rate and

Entitlement History File’’ For records

that are matched, the RRB will extract

the civil service payment information.

Inclusive Dates of the Matching

Program

The matching program will become

effective 40 days after a copy of the

agreement, as approved by the Data

Integrity Board of each agency, is sent

to Congress and the Office of

Management and Budget, or 30 days

after publication of this notice in the

Federal Register, whichever date is

later. The matching program will

continue for 18 months after the

effective date and may be extended for

an additional 12 months, if the

conditions specified in 5 U.S.C.

552a(o)(2)(D) have been met.

The notice we are giving here is in

addition to any individual notice.

A copy of this notice has been or will

be furnished to both House of Congress
