ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:

In addition to those disclosures

generally permitted under 5 U.S.C.

552a(b) of the Privacy Act, these records

or information contained therein may

specifically be disclosed outside the

DoD as a routine use pursuant to 5

U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as follows:

1. To the Department of Veteran

Affairs (DVA):

a. To provide military personnel and

pay data for present and former military

personnel for the purpose of evaluating

use of veterans benefits, validating

benefit eligibility and maintaining the

health and well being of veterans.

b. To provide identifying military

personnel data to the DVA and its

insurance program contractor for the

purpose of notifying separating eligible

Reservists of their right to apply for

Veteran’s Group Life Insurance coverage

under the Veterans Benefits

Improvement Act of 1996 (38 U.S.C.

1968).

c. To register eligible veterans and

their dependents for DVA programs.

d. To conduct computer matching

programs regulated by the Privacy Act

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

the purpose of:

(1) Providing full identification of

active duty military personnel,

including full-time National Guard/

Reserve support personnel, for use in

the administration of DVA’s

Compensation and Pension benefit

program. The information is used to

determine continued eligibility for DVA

disability compensation to recipients

who have returned to active duty so that

benefits can be adjusted or terminated

as required and steps taken by DVA to

collect any resulting over payment (38

U.S.C. 5304(c)).

(2) Providing military personnel and

financial data to the Veterans Benefits

Administration, DVA for the purpose of

determining initial eligibility and any

changes in eligibility status to insure

proper payment of benefits for GI Bill

education and training benefits by the

DVA under the Montgomery GI Bill

(Title 10 U.S.C., Chapter 1606 –

Selected Reserve and Title 38 U.S.C.,

Chapter 30 – Active Duty). The

administrative responsibilities

designated to both agencies by the law

require that data be exchanged in

administering the programs.

(3) Providing identification of reserve

duty, including full-time support

National Guard/Reserve military

personnel, to the DVA, for the purpose

of deducting reserve time served from

any DVA disability compensation paid

or waiver of VA benefit. The law (10
37862 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 134 /Tuesday, July 14, 1998 / Notices

U.S.C. 12316) prohibits receipt of

reserve pay and DVA compensation for

the same time period, however, it does

permit waiver of DVA compensation to

draw reserve pay.

(4) Providing identification of former

active duty military personnel who

received separation payments to the

DVA for the purpose of deducting such

repayment from any DVA disability

compensation paid. The law requires

recoupment of severance payments

before DVA disability compensation can

be paid (10 U.S.C. 1174).

(5) Providing identification of former

military personnel and survivor’s

financial benefit data to DVA for the

purpose of identifying military retired

pay and survivor benefit payments for

use in the administration of the DVA’s

Compensation and Pension program (38

U.S.C. 5106). The information is to be

used to process all DVA award actions

more efficiently, reduce subsequent

overpayment collection actions, and

minimize erroneous payments.

2. To the Office of Personnel

Management (OPM):

a. Consisting of personnel/

employment/financial data for the

purpose of carrying out OPM’s

management functions. Records

disclosed concern pay, benefits,

retirement deductions and any other

information necessary for those

management functions required by law

(Pub.L. 83–598, 84–356, 86–724, 94–455

and 5 U.S.C. 1302, 2951, 3301, 3372,

4118, 8347).

b. To conduct computer matching

programs regulated by the Privacy Act

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

the purpose of:

(1) Exchanging personnel and

financial information on certain military

retirees, who are also civilian employees

of the Federal government, for the

purpose of identifying those individuals

subject to a limitation on the amount of

military retired pay they can receive

under the Dual Compensation Act (5

U.S.C. 5532), and to permit adjustments

of military retired pay by the Defense

Finance and Accounting Service and to

take steps to recoup excess of that

permitted under the dual compensation

and pay cap restrictions.

(2) Exchanging personnel and

financial data on civil service

annuitants (including disability

annuitants under age 60) who are

reemployed by DoD to insure that

annuities of DoD reemployed annuitants

are terminated where applicable, and

salaries are correctly offset where

applicable as required by law (5 U.S.C.

8331, 8344, 8401 and 8468).

(3) Exchanging personnel and

financial data to identify individuals

who are improperly receiving military

retired pay and credit for military

service in their civil service annuities,

or annuities based on the ‘guaranteed

minimum’ disability formula. The

match will identify and/or prevent

erroneous payments under the Civil

Service Retirement Act (CSRA) 5 U.S.C.

8331 and the Federal Employees’

Retirement System Act (FERSA) 5

U.S.C. 8411. DoD’s legal authority for

monitoring retired pay is 10 U.S.C.

1401.

(4) Exchanging civil service and

Reserve military personnel data to

identify those individuals of the Reserve

forces who are employed by the Federal

government in a civilian position. The

purpose of the match is to identify those

particular individuals occupying critical

positions as civilians and cannot be

released for extended active duty in the

event of mobilization. Employing

Federal agencies are informed of the

reserve status of those affected

personnel so that a choice of

terminating the position or the reserve

Engineers

Review of Draft Scoping Document,

Devils Lake, North Dakota, Emergency

Outlet

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

DoD.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: A Notice of Intent to prepare

an Environmental impact Statement for

an outlet from Devils Lake to the

Sheyenne River in North Dakota was

published in the Federal Register on 21

October 1997.

As part of the National Environmental

Policy Act process, the Corps of

Engineers has conducted agency and

public meetings on the project. Based on

the results of those meetings and

comments received in response to the

meetings, the Corps of Engineers has

prepared a draft Scoping Document for

the project. The Scoping Document

identifies the concerns and alternatives

that will be addressed in the

Environmental impact Statement and

defines the geographic scope of the

study.

The draft Scoping Document is being

distributed for public and agency

review, after which a final Scoping

Document will be prepared. The

comment period and the address for

submitting comments will be identified

in the document. We anticipate the

comment period will end about 28

August 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Questions concerning the Scoping

Document can be directed to: Lieutenant

Colonel William J. Breyfogle, District

Engineer, St. Paul District, Corps of

Engineers, ATTN: Mr. Robert Whiting,

190 Fifth Street East, St. Paul,

Minnesota 55101–1638.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We

anticipate that the Draft Environmental

Impact Statement will be available to

the public in the fall of 1999. The

Environmental Impact Statement would

be supplemented as appropriate.

Dated: June 26, 1998.

William J. Breyfogle,

Lieutenant Colonel, Corps of Engineers,

District Engineer.
