DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND 

URBAN DEVELOPMENT 

[Docket Number: FR–7092–N–38] 

Privacy Act of 1974; Matching Program 

AGENCY: Office of Public and Indian 

Housing, Real Estate Assessment Center, 

HUD. 

ACTION: Notice of a new matching 

program. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Computer 

Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 

1988, as amended, the Department of 

Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 

is providing notice of its intent to reestablish a computer matching 

agreement (CMA) with the Social 

Security Administration (SSA) for a 

recurring matching program with HUD’s 

Office of Public and Indian Housing 

(PIH) and Office of Housing, involving 

comparisons of Social Security numbers 

(SSN) and benefit information provided 

by participants in any authorized HUD 

rental housing assistance program. HUD 

will obtain SSA data and make the 

results available to: 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 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 

agreement expires on October 15, 2024. 

DATES: Comments Due Date: November 

14, 2024. The CMA will become 

applicable 30 days after the publication 

of this notice, unless comments have 

been received from interested members 

of the public requiring modification and 

republication of the notice. The 

matching program will continue for 18 

months after the applicable date and 

may be extended for an additional 12 

months, if the respective agency Data 

Integrity Boards (DIBs) determine that 

the conditions specified in 5 U.S.C. 

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

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit comments regarding 

this notice to: 

Federal e-Rulemaking Portal: https:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions provided on that site to 

submit comments electronically. 

Fax: 202–619–8365. 

Email: www.privacy@hud.gov. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the agency name and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice supersedes a similar notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 15, 2022, at 87 FR 14552. 

Administrators of HUD rental assistance 

programs rely upon the accuracy of 

tenant-reported income to determine 

participant eligibility for and level of 

rental assistance. The computer 

matching program may provide 

indicators of potential tenant 

unreported or under-reported income, 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
83038 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 199 / Tuesday, October 15, 2024 / Notices 

which will require additional 

verification to identify inappropriate or 

inaccurate rental assistance and may 

provide indicators for potential 

administrative or legal actions. The 

matching program will be carried out to 

detect inappropriate or inaccurate rental 

assistance. Specifically, the computer 

matching program will match HUD’s 

tenant data to SSA’s death data, Social 

Security (SS) and Supplemental 

Security Income (SSI) benefits data. 

PARTICIPATING AGENCIES: 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development and the Social Security 

Administration. 

AUTHORITY FOR CONDUCTING THE MATCHING

PROGRAM: 

42 U.S.C. 3543 authorizes HUD to 

require rental assistance applicants and 

participants to disclose their SSNs. HUD 

requires, as a condition of eligibility, 

that individuals requesting, or 

continuing to receive, rental assistance 

disclose their SSNs (24 CFR 5.216). 

Section 1106 of the Social Security Act 

(Act) (42 U.S.C. 1306) and the 

regulations promulgated thereunder 

provide legal authority for SSA’s 

disclosures in this agreement (20 CFR 

part 401). Section 205(r)(3) of the Act 

(42 U.S.C. 405(r)(3)) provides legal 

authority for SSA to disclose death data 

to Federal agencies to ensure proper 

payment of Federally funded benefits. 

Pursuant to section 7213 of the 

Intelligence Reform and Terrorism 

Prevention Act of 2004, Public Law 

(Pub. L.) 108–458, SSA includes death 

indicators in verification routines that 

SSA determines to be appropriate. 

PURPOSE(S): 

HUD’s primary objective of the 

computer matching program is to verify 

the income of participants in certain 

rental assistance programs to determine 

the appropriate level of rental 

assistance, and to detect, deter, and 

correct fraud, waste, and abuse in rental 

housing assistance programs. In meeting 

these objectives, HUD also is carrying 

out a responsibility under 42 U.S.C. 

1437f(k) to ensure that income data 

provided to POAs by household 

members is complete and accurate. 

HUD’s various rental housing assistance 

programs require that participants meet 

certain income and other criteria to be 

eligible for rental assistance. In 

addition, tenants generally are required 

to report and recertify the amounts and 

sources of their income at least 

annually. However, under the Quality 

Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 

1998, PHAs operating Public Housing 

programs may offer tenants the option to 

pay a flat rent or an income-based rent. 

Those tenants who select a flat rent will 

be required to recertify income at least 

every three years. In addition, the 

changes to the Admissions and 

Occupancy final rule (March 29, 2000 

(65 FR 16692)) specified that household 

composition must be recertified 

annually for tenants who select a flat 

rent or income-based rent. Additional 

uses/benefits of this computer matching 

program include: (1) increasing the 

availability of rental assistance to 

individuals who meet the requirements 

of the rental assistance programs; (2) 

after removal of personal identifiers, 

conducting analyses of SSA death data 

and benefit information, and income 

reporting of program participants; and 

(3) measuring improper payments due 

to under-reporting of income and/or 

overpayment of subsidy on behalf of 

deceased program participants.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for the 

information collection described in 

Section A. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 

Community Development Block Grant 

Entitlement Program. 

OMB Approval Number: 2506–0077. 

Type of Request: Revision. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: This 

request identifies the estimated 

reporting burden associated with 

information that CDBG entitlement 

grantees will report in IDIS for CDBGassisted activities, recordkeeping 

requirements, and reporting 

requirements. Grantees are encouraged 

to update their accomplishments in IDIS 

on a quarterly basis. In addition, 

grantees are required to retain records 

necessary to document compliance with 

statutory and regulatory requirements, 

Executive orders, 2 CFR part 200 

requirements, and determinations 

required to be made by grantees as a 

determination of eligibility. Among the 

reports grantees now submit in IDIS is 

the PR 29 Cash on Hand Quarterly 

Report. This report is a conversion of 

the SF–425. Federal Financial Report, 

that grantees submitted by hard copy, 

but with the addition of data elements 

related to local account repayment 

receipt funds and revolving loan funds 

that grantees may have under their 

control. As a new form, included in this 

information collection for the first time, 

it is also being presented for OMB 

review and approval and public 

comment. Also, grantees are required to 

prepare and submit their Consolidated 

Annual Performance and Evaluation 

Reports, which demonstrate the 

progress grantees make in carrying out 

CDBG-assisted activities listed in their 

consolidated plans. This report is due to 

HUD 90 days after the end of the 

grantee’s program year. The information 

required for any activity is generally 

based on the eligibility of the activity 

and which of the three national 

objectives (benefit low- and moderateincome persons; eliminate/prevent 

slums or blight; or meet an urgent need) 

the grantee has determined that the 

activity will address. 

Respondents: Grant recipients 

(metropolitan cities and urban counties) 

participating in the CDBG Entitlement 

Program. 

Estimation number of Respondents: 

1,237. 

Estimation Number of Responses: The 

proposed frequency of the response to 

the collection is on an annual basis.
