II. Background 

The PPDC is a federal advisory 

committee chartered under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public 

Law 92–463. EPA established the PPDC 

in September 1995 to provide policy 

advice, information and 

recommendations to the EPA 

Administrator through the Director of 

the Office of Pesticide Programs, Office 

of Chemical Safety and Pollution 

Prevention. The PPDC provides a public 

forum to discuss a wide variety of 

pesticide regulatory developments and 

reform initiatives, evolving public 

policy and program implementation 

issues associated with evaluating and 

reducing risks from the use of 

pesticides. The EPA will consider

The PPDC usually meets face-to-face 

twice a year, generally in the spring and

asked to serve on work groups to 

develop recommendations to address 

specific policy issues. The average 

workload for members is approximately 

4 to 6 hours per month. PPDC members

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[FR ID: 33522] 

Privacy Act of 1974; Matching Program 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of a new matching 

program. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended 

(‘‘Privacy Act’’), this document 

announces the establishment of a 

computer matching program the Federal 

Communications Commission (‘‘FCC’’ 

or ‘‘Commission’’ or ‘‘Agency’’) and the 

Universal Service Administrative 

Company (USAC) will conduct with the 

Nevada Department of Health and 

Human Services, Division of Welfare 

and Supportive Services (Department). 

The purpose of this matching program 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
32928 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 118 / Wednesday, June 23, 2021 / Notices 

is to verify the eligibility of applicants 

to and subscribers of the Emergency 

Broadband Benefit Program, which is 

administered by USAC under the 

direction of the FCC, or other federal 

programs that use qualification for the 

FCC’s Lifeline Program as an eligibility 

criterion. More information about this 

program is provided in the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section 

below. 

DATES: Written comments are due on or 

before July 23, 2021. This computer 

matching program will commence on 

July 23, 2021, and will conclude 18 

months after becoming effective. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Margaret 

Drake, FCC, 45 L Street NE, Washington, 

DC 20554, or to Privacy@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Margaret Drake at 202–417–1707 or 

Privacy@fcc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Emergency Broadband Benefit Program 

(EBBP) was established by Congress in 

the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 

2021, Public Law 116–260, 134 Stat. 

1182. EBBP is a program that will help 

low-income Americans obtain 

discounted broadband service and onetime co-pay for a connected device 

(laptop, desktop computer or tablet). 

This program was created specifically to 

assist American families’ access to 

broadband, which has proven to be 

essential for work, school, and 

healthcare during the public health 

emergency that exists as a result of 

COVID–19. A household may qualify for 

the EBBP benefit under various criteria, 

including an individual qualifying for 

the FCC’s Lifeline program. 

In a Report and Order adopted on 

March 31, 2016, the Commission 

ordered USAC to create a National 

Lifeline Eligibility Verifier (‘‘National 

Verifier’’), including the National 

Lifeline Eligibility Database (LED), that 

would match data about Lifeline 

applicants and subscribers with other 

data sources to verify the eligibility of 

an applicant or subscriber. The 

Commission found that the National 

Verifier would reduce compliance costs 

for Lifeline service providers, improve 

service for Lifeline subscribers, and 

reduce waste, fraud, and abuse in the 

program. The Consolidated 

Appropriations Act of 2021 directs the 

FCC to leverage the National Verifier to 

verify applicants’ eligibility for EBBP. 

The purpose of this matching program 

is to verify the eligibility of EBBP 

applicants and subscribers by 

determining whether they receive 

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 

Program (SNAP) and Medicaid benefits 

administered by the Nevada 

Department. Under FCC rules, 

consumers receiving these benefits 

qualify for Lifeline discounts and also 

for EBBP benefits. 

Participating Non-Federal Agencies 

Nevada Department of Health and 

Human Services, Division of Welfare 

and Supportive Services (Department). 

Authority for Conducting the Matching 

Program 

Consolidated Appropriations Act of 

2021, Public Law 116–260, 134 Stat. 

1182; 47 CFR part 54. 

Purpose(s) 

In the 2016 Lifeline Modernization 

Order, the FCC required USAC to 

develop and operate the National 

Verifier to improve efficiency and 

reduce waste, fraud, and abuse in the 

Lifeline program. The stated purpose of 

the National Verifier is ‘‘to increase the 

integrity and improve the performance 

of the Lifeline program for the benefit of 

a variety of Lifeline participants, 

including Lifeline providers, 

subscribers, states, community-based 

organizations, USAC, and the 

Commission.’’ 31 FCC Rcd 3962, 4006, 

para. 126. To help determine whether 

Lifeline applicants and subscribers are 

eligible for Lifeline benefits, the Order 

contemplates that the USAC-operated 

LED will communicate with information 

systems and databases operated by other 

Federal and State agencies. Id. at 4011– 

2, paras. 135–7. 

The Consolidated Appropriations Act 

of 2021 directs the FCC to leverage the 

National Verifier to verify applicants’ 

eligibility for EBBP. The purpose of this 

matching program is to verify the 

eligibility of EBBP applicants and 

subscribers by determining whether 

they receive SNAP and Medicaid 

benefits administered by the Nevada 

Department. Under FCC rules, 

consumers receiving these benefits 

qualify for Lifeline discounts and also 

for EBBP benefits. 

Categories of Individuals 

The categories of individuals whose 

information is involved in the matching 

program include, but are not limited to, 

those individuals who have applied for 

EBBP benefits; are currently receiving 

benefits; are individuals who enable 

another individual in their household to 

qualify for EBBP benefits; are minors 

whose status qualifies a parent or 

guardian for EBBP benefits; or are 

individuals who have received EBBP 

benefits. 

Categories of Records 

The categories of records involved in 

the matching program include, but are 

not limited to last name, date of birth 

and the last four digits of the applicant’s 

Social Security Number. The National 

Verifier will transfer these data elements 

to the Nevada Department, which will 

respond ‘‘eligible match,’’ ‘‘ineligible 

match,’’ or ‘‘no match’’ regarding 

whether the individual is enrolled in an 

EBBP-qualifying assistance program: 

State of Nevada’s SNAP and Medicaid. 

System(s) of Records 

The USAC records shared as part of 

this matching program reside in the 

EBBP system of records, FCC/WCB–3, 

Emergency Broadband Benefit Program, 

which was published in the Federal 

Register at 86 FR 11523 (Feb. 25, 2021).
