POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Hungary—UH–1N Helicopters 

The Government of Hungary has 

requested a possible sale of the 

modification and inspection of 32 UH– 

1N Utility Helicopters and 20 T–400 

spare engines being provided as grant 

Excess Defense Articles (EDA). Also 

provided are Forward Looking Infrared 

Radar, Night Vision Devices, simulators, 

spare and repair parts, support and test 

equipment, publications and technical 

documentation, personnel training and 

training equipment, U.S. Government 

and contractor engineering, technical 

and logistics support services, and other 

related elements of logistical and 

program support. The estimated cost is 

$426 million. 

This proposed sale will contribute to 

the foreign policy and national security 

of the United States by helping to 

improve the military capabilities of 

Hungary and furthering NATO 

standardization and interoperability 

between United States and other NATO 

allies. 

The proposed sale will help improve 

Hungary’s overall ability to conduct 

humanitarian and search and rescue 

medical evacuation missions. The 

proposed sale would further enhance 

and enable interoperability with U.S. 

Armed Forces and other coalition 

partners in the region. Similar items 

have not previously been provided to 

Hungary. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The prime contractor will be the U.S. 

Navy, Naval Air Systems Command. 

There are no known offset agreements 

proposed in connection with this 

potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require multiple U.S. Government 

and contractor representatives to travel 

to Hungary for one week intervals, semiannually, for a period of three years for 

program and technical reviews, and 

training and maintenance support. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

[Docket ID; DOD–2011–OS–0144] 

Privacy Act of 1974; Notice of a 

Computer Matching Program 

AGENCY: Defense Manpower Data 

Center, Department of Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Notice of a Computer Matching 

Program. 

SUMMARY: Subsection (e)(12) of the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, (5 

U.S.C. 552a) requires agencies to 

publish advance notice of any proposed 

or revised computer matching program 

by the matching agency for public 

comment. The DoD, as the matching 

agency under the Privacy Act is hereby 

giving notice to the record subjects of a 

computer matching program between 

the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) 

and DoD, Defense Manpower Data 

Center (DMDC) that their records are 

being matched by computer. The 

purpose of this agreement is to verify an 

individual’s continuing eligibility for 

VA benefits by identifying VA disability 

benefit recipients who return to active 

duty and to ensure that benefits are 

terminated if appropriate. 

DATES: This proposed action will 

become effective January 13, 2012 and 

matching may commence unless 

changes to the matching program are 

required due to public comments or by 

Congressional or Office of Management 

and Budget objections. Any public 

comment must be received before the 

effective date. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number and title, 

by any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

• Mail: Federal Docket Management 

System Office, 4800 Mark Center Drive, 

East Tower, 2nd floor, Suite 02G09, 

Alexandria, VA 22350–3100. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the agency name, docket 

number and title for this Federal 

Register document. The general policy 

for comments and other submissions 

from members of the public is to make 

these submissions available for public 

viewing on the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov as they are 

received without change, including any 

personal identifiers or contact

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Samuel P. Jenkins, Director, Defense 

Privacy and Civil Liberties Office, 1901 

South Bell Street, Suite 920, Arlington, 

VA 22202–4512, or by telephone at 

(703) 607–2943. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to subsection (o) of the Privacy Act of 

1974, as amended, (5 U.S.C. 552a), the 

DMDC and VA have concluded an 

agreement to conduct a computer 

matching program between the agencies. 

The purpose of this agreement is to 

verify an individual’s continuing 

eligibility for VA benefits by identifying 

VA disability benefit recipients who 

return to active duty and to ensure that 

benefits are terminated if appropriate. 

The parties to this agreement have 

determined that a computer matching 

program is the most efficient, 

expeditious, and effective means of 

obtaining the information needed by the 

VA to identify ineligible VA disability 

compensation recipients who have 

returned to active duty. This matching 

agreement will identify those veterans 

who have returned to active duty, but 

are still receiving disability 

compensation. If this identification is 

not accomplished by computer 

matching, but is done manually, the cost 

would be prohibitive and it is possible 

that not all individuals would be 

identified. 

A copy of the computer matching 

agreement between VA and DMDC is 

available upon request to the public. 

Requests should be submitted to the 

Director for Privacy, Defense Privacy 

and Civil Liberties Office, 1901 South 

Bell Street, Suite 920, Arlington, VA 

22202–4512 or to the Department of 

Veterans Affairs, Veterans Benefit 

Administration, 810 Vermont Avenue 

NW., Washington, DC 20420. 

Set forth below is the notice of the 

establishment of a computer matching 

program required by paragraph 6.c. of 

the Office of Management and Budget 

Guidelines on computer matching 

published in the Federal Register at 54 

FR 25818 on June 19, 1989. 

The matching agreement, as required 

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

and an advance copy of this notice was 

submitted on December 8, 2011, to the 

House Committee on Government 

Reform, the Senate Committee on 

Governmental Affairs, and the 

Administrator of the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget 

pursuant to paragraph 4d of Appendix 

I to OMB Circular No. A–130, ‘Federal 

Agency Responsibilities for Maintaining 

Records about Individuals,’ dated 

February 8, 1996 (61 FR 6435).

Dated: December 9, 2011. 

Aaron Siegel, 

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison 

Officer, Department of Defense. 

Notice of a Computer Matching 

Program Between the Department of 

Veterans Affairs and the Department of 

Defense for Verification of Disability 

Compensation 

A. Participating Agencies: 

Participants in this computer matching 

program are the Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) and the Defense Manpower 

Data Center (DMDC) of the Department 

of Defense (DoD). The VA is the source 

agency, i.e., the activity disclosing the 

records for the purpose of the match. 

The DMDC is the specific recipient 

activity or matching agency, i.e., the 

agency that actually performs the 

computer matching. 

B. Purpose of the Match: The purpose 

of this agreement is to verify an 

individual’s continuing eligibility for 

VA benefits by identifying VA disability 

benefit recipients who return to active 

duty and to ensure that benefits are 

terminated if appropriate. 

VA will provide identifying 

information on disability compensation 

recipients to DMDC to match against a 

file of active duty (including full-time 

National Guard and Reserve) personnel. 

The purpose is to identify those 

recipients who have returned to active 

duty and are ineligible to receive VA 

compensation so that benefits can be 

adjusted or terminated, if in order. 

C. Authority for Conducting the 

Match: The legal authority for 

conducting the matching program for 

use in the administration of VA’s 

Compensation and Pension Benefits 

Program is contained in 38 U.S.C. 

5304(c), Prohibition Against Duplication 

of Benefits, which precludes pension, 

compensation, or retirement pay on 

account of any person’s own service, for 

any period for which he receives active 

duty pay. The head of any Federal 

department or agency shall provide, 

pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 5106, such 

information as requested by VA for the 

purpose of determining eligibility for, or 

amount of benefits, or verifying other 

information which respect thereto. 

D. Records to be Matched: The 

systems of records maintained by the 

respective agencies under the Privacy 

Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, 

from which records will be disclosed for 

the purpose of this computer match are 

as follows: 

VA will use the system of records 

identified as ‘‘VA Compensation, 

Pension, Education and Vocational 

Rehabilitation and Employment 

Records—VA’’ (58 VA 21/22/28), 

published at 74 FR 29275 (June 19, 

2009), and last amended at 75 FR 22187 

(April 27, 2010). 

DoD will use the system of records 

identified as DMDC 01, entitled, 

‘‘Defense Manpower Data Center Data 

Base’’, published November 23, 2011, 76 

FR 72391. 

E. Description of Computer Matching 

Program: The Veterans Benefits 

Administration will provide DMDC 

with an electronic file that contains 

specified data elements of individual 

VA disability compensation recipients. 

Upon receipt of the electronic file, 

DMDC will perform a computer match 

using all nine digits of the SSNs in the 

VA file against a DMDC computer 

database. The DMDC database consists 

of pay records of active duty (including 

full-time National Guard and Reserve) 

military members. Matching records, 

‘‘hits’’ based on the SSN, will produce 

the member’s name, branch of service, 

and unit designation, and other 

pertinent data elements. The hits will be 

furnished to the Veterans Benefits 

Administration, which is responsible for 

verifying and determining that the data 

on the electronic reply file are 

consistent with the source file and for 

resolving all discrepancies or 

inconsistencies on an individual basis. 

The Veterans Benefits Administration 

will also be responsible for making final 

determinations as to positive 

identification, eligibility for benefits, 

and verifying any other information 

with respect thereto. 

The listing will be sorted by VA file 

number by Regional Office number. VA 

will then take necessary action to 

terminate compensation payments of 

any benefit recipient identified as being 

on active duty while receiving 

compensation pay after following the 

verification of procedures detailed in 

this agreement. 

F. Inclusive Dates of the Matching 

Program: This computer matching 

program is subject to public comment 

and review by Congress and the Office 

of Management and Budget. If the 

mandatory 30 day period for comment 

has expired and no comments are 

received and if no objections are raised 

by either Congress or the Office of 

Management and Budget within 40 days 

of being notified of the proposed match, 

the computer matching program 

becomes effective and the respective 

agencies may begin the exchange at a 

mutually agreeable time and thereafter 

on a quarterly basis. By agreement 

between VA and DMDC, the matching 

program will be in effect for 18 months 

with an option to renew for 12 

additional months unless one of the 

parties to the agreement advises the 

other by written request to terminate or 

modify the agreement.

Defense Privacy and Civil Liberties 

Office, 1901 South Bell Street, Suite
