33012 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 118 / Wednesday, June 23, 2021 / Notices 

for OASDI includes Section 224 of the 

Act (42 U.S.C. 424a), which provides for 

the reduction of Social Security 

disability benefits when the disabled 

worker is also entitled to a Public 

Disability Benefit (PBD). Also, Section 

215a(7)(A) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 415) 

requires a modification to the 

computation formula reducing the 

Primary Insurance Amount of a retired 

and disabled worker entitled to a 

pension from employment not covered 

under Social Security. Section 

202k(5)(A) (42 U.S.C. 402) provides for 

the reduction of spouse’s and survivor’s 

benefits by a percentage of a pension 

received based on work not covered by 

Social Security. 

Section 1631(f) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 

1383(f)) requires Federal agencies to 

furnish SSA with information necessary 

to verify eligibility. Section 224(h)(1) of 

the Act (42 U.S.C. 424a(h)(1)) requires 

any Federal agency to provide SSA with 

information in its possession that SSA 

may require for the purposes of making 

a timely determination of the amount of 

reduction under section 224 of the Act 

(42 U.S.C. 424a). 

Purpose(s) 

This agreement sets forth the terms, 

conditions, and safeguards under which 

OPM will disclose civil service benefit 

and payment data to SSA. SSA is legally 

required to offset specific benefits by a 

percentage of civil service benefits 

received (Spousal and Survivors 

benefits, SSI benefits, and Retirement 

and Disability Insurance Benefits are 

offset by a percentage of the recipients’ 

Federal Government pension benefits). 

SSA administers the OASDI, SSI, and 

SVB programs. SSA will use the match 

results under this agreement to meet its 

civil service benefit offset obligations. 

Appendices A, B, C, and D of this 

agreement contain specific information 

on the matching programs that SSA will 

conduct under this agreement. SSA’s 

OCA will also use OPM’s data for 

statistical and research purposes in 

tracking the size of, and impact on, 

subpopulations of government 

annuitants affected by the GPO, the 

WEP, and in cost estimates of proposals 

to change the two provisions. 

Categories of Individuals 

The individuals whose information is 

involved in this matching program are 

those individuals who are receiving 

civil service benefits and payments, and 

either Spousal and Survivors benefits, 

SSI or SVB benefits, or Retirement and 

Disability Insurance benefits. 

Categories of Records 

OPM will provide SSA with an 

electronic file containing civil service 

benefit and payment data from the 

annuity and survivor master file. Each 

month, OPM will provide SSA with an 

electronic file that will include updated 

payment information for new civil 

service annuitants and annuitants 

whose civil service annuity has 

changed. This monthly file contains 

approximately 25,000 records. OPM will 

provide SSA with the entire master 

annuity file of approximately 2.7 

million records once yearly for the 

month of the civil service cost-of-living 

allowance. OPM will furnish SSA with 

the following civil service benefit and 

payment data: Payment status code; 

prefix; name; Social Security number 

(SSN); Social Security verification code; 

date of birth; award date; civil service 

claim number; first potential month and 

year of eligibility; date of eligibility 

indicator; first month, day, and year of 

entitlement; disability indicator; Federal 

Insurance Contributions Act covered 

months indicator; total service months; 

amount of current gross civil service 

benefits; effective date (month, day, and 

year) of civil service amount; SSNs for 

disabled children; retroactive payments; 

date of death; payments that are 

currently coded ‘special pay’; OPM code 

that indicates OPM used pre-1957 

military service in the benefit 

computations; actual military service 

dates that OPM used in computing the 

OPM pension amount; OPM code for 

voluntary contributions; amount of the 

pension from voluntary contributions; 

months of employment after 1956 not 

covered by Social Security that are used 

to determine the pension; period of 

employment upon which pension is 

based; and Federal Employees 

Retirement System transfer case data. 

SSA will attempt to verify the SSNs 

furnished by OPM using the SSA 

Enumeration System database and the 

individuals’ name, date of birth, and 

SSN. SSA will only use verified SSNs 

in the matches with its systems of 

records (SOR). SSA will match the SSNverified OPM data against the 

Supplemental Security Record or Master 

Beneficiary Record to identify: SSI/SVB 

recipients who are also receiving a civil 

service pension; individuals who may 

be subject to PDB offset; and 

beneficiaries subject to a Federal 

pension offset. 

System(s) of Records 

OPM will provide SSA with 

electronic files from the OPM SOR 

published as OPM/Central-1 (Civil 

Service Retirement and Insurance 

Records) at 73 FR 15013 (March 20, 

2008), as amended at 80 FR 74815 

(November 30, 2015). SSA will conduct 

the match using the individual’s SSN, 

name, and date of birth on both the 

OPM file and SSA’s databases covered 

under the following SSA SORs: The 

Master Files of Social Security Number 

(SSN) Holders and SSN Applications 

(Enumeration System), 60–0058, as

II. Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 

31315(b), FMCSA may grant an 

exemption from the FMCSRs for no 

longer than a 5-year period if it finds 

such exemption would likely achieve a 

level of safety that is equivalent to, or 

greater than, the level that would be 

achieved absent such exemption. The 

statute also allows the Agency to renew 

exemptions at the end of the 5-year 

period. FMCSA grants medical 

exemptions from the FMCSRs for a 2- 

year period to align with the maximum 

duration of a driver’s medical 

certification. 

The 18 individuals listed in this 

notice have requested an exemption 

from the hearing requirement in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(11). Accordingly, the Agency 

will evaluate the qualifications of each 

applicant to determine whether granting 

the exemption will achieve the required 

level of safety mandated by statute. 

The physical qualification standard 

for drivers regarding hearing found in 

§ 391.41(b)(11) states that a person is 

physically qualified to drive a CMV if 

that person first perceives a forced 

whispered voice in the better ear at not 

less than 5 feet with or without the use 

of a hearing aid or, if tested by use of 

an audiometric device, does not have an 

average hearing loss in the better ear 

greater than 40 decibels at 500 Hz, 1,000 

Hz, and 2,000 Hz with or without a
