SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Department will submit the proposed

information collection to OMB for

review, as required by the Paperwork

Reduction Act of the 1995 (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35, as amended).

This notice is soliciting comments

from members of the public and affected

agencies concerning the proposed

collection of information to: (1) Evaluate

whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of the

agency, including whether the

information will have practical utility;

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s

information to be collected; and (4)

Minimize the burden of the collection of

information on those who are to

respond; including through the use of

appropriate automated collection

techniques or other forms of information

technology, e.g., permitting electronic

submission of responses.

This Notice also lists the following

information:

Title of proposal: Canvass of Moving

to Opportunity Families.

Description of the need for the

information and proposed use: The

information is being collected to

determine locating information for

households that participate in Moving

to Opportunity (MTO) and for

household members who have left the

participating household. It is also being

collected to determine changes in

employment, education, and receipt of

benefits for these households.

This is being done to assist the

Department in providing

congressionally mandated reports on the

long term effects of providing assistance

to low-income families living in assisted

housing to move out of the high poverty

areas of central cities.

Members of affected public:

Participants in the Moving to

Opportunity Demonstration will be

surveyed. We estimate that 2900 heads

of MTO families, and an additional 100

household members who have left the

participating households (or their

responsible adults in the case of minor

children) will be individually surveyed

in 1997. In 1998, 4178 heads of MTO

families, and an additional 200

household members who have left the

participating households (or adults

responsible for minor children) will be

individually surveyed.

Estimation of the total number of

hours needed to prepare the information

collection including number of

respondents, frequency of response, and

hours of response: Information will be

collected for approximately 3000

respondents in 1997, and 4378

respondents in 1998. In 1997, the long

form, a 15 minute telephone survey, is

planned to be administered to 1979

household heads. The short form, a 10

minute telephone survey, will be

administered to the remaining 1021

participants (921 heads of household,

and 100 adults, emancipated minors,

and adults responsible for minors who

have left the household). In 1998, the

long form will be administered to 1,979

heads of household, and the short form

to an additional 2,399 participants (2199

heads of the household, and 200

additional members or responsible

adults). A 70% response rate is expected

for the heads of household. The survey

will be conducted annually. The

information being requested is

information normally known to the

participant or responsible adult. The

total annual burden for respondents is

estimated at 472 hours in 1997 and 637

hours in 1998.

Status of the proposed information

collection: Pending OMB approval.

Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35,

as amended.

Dated: April 3, 1997.

[Docket No. FR–3918–N–11]

Privacy Act of 1974; Notice of a

Computer Matching Program

AGENCY: Department of Housing and

Urban Development (HUD).

ACTION: Notice of a Computer Matching

Program between HUD and the Small

Business Administration (SBA).

SUMMARY: 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, as

amended (Pub. L. 100–503), and the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) Guidelines on the Conduct of

Matching Programs (54 FR 25818 (June

19, 1989)), and OMB Bulletin 89–22,

‘‘Instructions on Reporting Computer

Matching Programs to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB),

Congress and the Public,’’ the

Department of Housing and Urban

Development (HUD) is issuing a public

notice of its intent to conduct a

computer matching program with the

Small Business Administration (SBA) to

utilize a computer information system

of HUD, the Credit Alert Interactive

Voice Response System (CAIVRS), with

SBA’s debtor files. In addition to HUD

data, the CAIVRS data base includes

delinquent debt information from the

Departments of Agriculture, Education

and Veterans Affairs, the Small Business

Administration and judgment lien data

from the Department of Justice. This

match will allow prescreening of

applicants for loans or loans guaranteed

by the Federal Government to ascertain
18140 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 71 / Monday, April 14, 1997 / Notices

if the applicant is delinquent in paying

a debt owed to or insured by the Federal

Government for HUD or SBA direct or

guaranteed loans.

Before granting a loan, the lending

agency and/or the authorized lending

institution will be able to interrogate the

CAIVRS debtor file which contains the

Social Security Numbers (SSNs) of

HUD’s delinquent debtors and

defaulters and defaulted debtor records

of the SBA and verify that the loan

applicant is not in default or delinquent

on direct or guaranteed loans of

participating Federal programs of either

agency. Authorized users place a

telephone call to the system. The system

provides a recorded message followed

by a series of instructions, one of which

is a requirement for the SSN of the loan

applicant. The system then reports

audibly whether the SSN is related to

delinquent or defaulted Federal

obligations for HUD or SBA direct or

guaranteed loans. As a result of the

information produced by this match, the

authorized users may not deny,

terminate, or make a final decision of

any loan assistance to an applicant or

take other adverse action against such

applicant, until an officer or employee

of such agency has independently

verified such information.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Computer matching is

expected to begin at least 40 days from

the date this computer matching notice

is published, providing no comments

are received which would result in a

contrary determination. It will be

accomplished 18 months from the

beginning date; Comments Due Date:

May 14, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are

invited to submit comments regarding

this notice to the Rules Docket Clerk,

Office of General Counsel, Room 10276,

Department of Housing and Urban

Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW.,

Washington, DC 20410.

Communications should refer to the

above docket number and title. A copy

of each communication submitted will

be available for public inspection and

copying between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30

p.m. weekdays at the above address.

Reporting

In accordance with Public Law 100–

503, the Computer Matching and

Privacy Protection Act of 1988, as

amended, and Office of Management

and Budget Bulletin 89–22,

‘‘Instructions on Reporting Computer

Matching Programs to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB),

Congress and the Public,’’ copies of this

Notice and a report, in duplicate, are

being provided to the Committee on

Government Reform and Oversight of

the House of Representatives, the

Committee on Governmental Affairs of

the Senate, and the Office of

Management and Budget.

Authority

The matching program may be

conducted pursuant to Public Law 100–

503, ‘‘The Computer Matching and

Privacy Protection Act of 1988,’’ as

amended, and Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) Circular A–129

(Revised January 1993), Policies for

Federal Credit Programs and Non-Tax

Receivables. One of the purposes of all

Executive departments and agencies—

including HUD—is to implement

efficient management practices for

Federal credit programs. OMB Circular

A–129 was issued under the authority of

the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921,

as amended; the Budget and Accounting

Act of 1950, as amended; the Debt

Collection Act of 1982, as amended;

and, the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984,

as amended.

Objectives To Be Met by the Matching

Program

The matching program will allow

SBA access to a system which permits

prescreening of applicants for loans or

loans guaranteed by the Federal

Government to ascertain if the applicant

is delinquent in paying a debt owed to

or insured by the Government. In

addition, HUD will be provided access

to SBA debtor data for prescreening

purposes.

Records To Be Matched

HUD will utilize its system of records

entitled HUD/DEPT–2, Accounting

Records. The debtor files for HUD

programs involved are included in this

system of records. HUD’s debtor files

contain information on borrowers and

co-borrowers who are currently in

default (at least 90 days delinquent on

their loans); or who have any

outstanding claims paid during the last

three years on Title II insured or

guaranteed home mortgage loans; or

individuals who have defaulted on

Section 312 rehabilitation loans; or

individuals who have had a claim paid

in the last three years on a Title I loan.

For the CAIVRS match, HUD/DEPT–2,

System of Records, receives its program

inputs from HUD/DEPT–28, Property

Improvement and Manufactured

(Mobile) Home Loans—Default; HUD/

DEPT–32, Delinquent/Default/Assigned

Temporary Mortgage Assistance

Payments (TMAP) Program; and HUD/

CPD–1, Rehabilitation LoansDelinquent/Default.

The SBA will provide HUD with

debtor files contained in its system of

records entitled, Loan Case File (SBA

075). HUD is maintaining SBA’s records

only as a ministerial action on behalf of

SBA, not as a part of HUD’s HUD/

DEPT–2 system of records. SBA’s data

contain information on individuals who

have defaulted on their direct loans. The

SBA will retain ownership and

responsibility for their systems of

records that they place with HUD. HUD

serves only as a record location and

routine use recipient for SBA’s data.

Notice Procedures

HUD and the SBA will notify

individuals at the time of application

(ensuring that routine use appears on

the application form) for guaranteed or

direct loans that their records will be

matched to determine whether they are

delinquent or in default on a Federal

debt. HUD and the SBA have published

notices concerning routine use

disclosures in the Federal Register to

inform individuals that a computer

match may be performed to determine a

loan applicant’s credit status with the

Federal Government.

Categories of Records/Individuals

Involved

The debtor records include these data

elements: SSN, claim number, program

code, and indication of indebtedness.

Categories of records include: records of

claims and defaults, repayment

agreements, credit reports, financial

statements, and records of foreclosures.

Categories of individuals include:

Former mortgagors and purchasers of

HUD-owned properties, manufactured

(mobile) home and home improvement

loan debtors who are delinquent or in

default on their loans, and rehabilitation

loan debtors who are delinquent or in

default on their loans.

Period of the Match

Matching will begin at least 40 days

from the date copies of the signed (by

both Data Integrity Boards) computer

matching agreement are sent to both
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 71 / Monday, April 14, 1997 / Notices 18141

Houses of Congress or at least 30 days

from the date this Notice is published in

the Federal Register, whichever is later,

providing no comments are received

which would result in a contrary

determination.
