51108 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 166 / Monday, August 29, 2005 / Notices 

SSA Match 1005: OPM records will be 

used in a matching program where SSA 

will match OPM’s data with SSA’s 

records to verify the accuracy of 

information furnished by applicants and 

recipients concerning eligibility factors 

for the Supplemental Security Income 

(SSI) and Special Veterans’ Benefits 

(SVB) programs. The SSI program 

provides payments to individuals who 

have income and resources below levels 

established by law and regulations, and 

the SVB program provides special 

benefits to certain World War II 

veterans. 

SSA Match 1019: SSA will match 

OPM’s records of civil service disability 

benefit and payment data with SSA’s 

records of Social Security disability 

insurance benefits to identify disability 

insurance beneficiaries whose benefits 

should be reduced under the Social 

Security Act because the disabled 

worker is receiving a civil service 

disability annuity benefit. SSA will 

match the OPM data to verify 

information provided (or identify such 

information that should have been 

provided) by the disabled worker at the 

time of initially applying for Social 

Security benefits and on a continuous 

basis to ensure any reduction in Social 

Security disability benefits is based on 

the current civil service disability 

benefit amount. 

SSA Match 1020: OPM records will be 

used in a matching program where SSA 

will match OPM’s civil service benefit 

and payment data with SSA’s records 

for disabled and retired annuitants. 

These annuitants may be subject to the 

use of a modified benefit computation 

formula used by SSA under the Social 

Security Act for certain persons who 

receive both a civil service benefit and 

a Social Security retirement or disability 

benefit. SSA will use the OPM data to 

verify the pension or annuity 

information provided (or identify such 

information that should have been 

provided) directly to SSA by the 

retirees/annuitants. 

SSA Match 1021: SSA will match 

OPM’s civil service benefit and payment 

data with SSA’s records of beneficiaries 

receiving Social Security spouse’s 

benefits which are subject to reduction 

under the Social Security Act when the 

beneficiary is also receiving a 

government pension based on 

employment not covered under that Act. 

SSA will match the OPM data to verify 

information provided (or identify such 

information that should have been 

provided) by the SSA beneficiary at the 

time of initially applying for Social 

Security benefits and on a continuing 

basis to ensure that any reduction in 

Social Security benefits is based on the 

current pension amount. 

C. Authority for Conducting the 

Matching Program 

SSA Match 1005: Section 

1631(e)(1)(B) and (f) of the Social 

Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1383(e)(1)(B) 

and(f)) for the SSI program; section 806 

of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 

1006) for the SVB program. 

SSA Match 1019: Section 224 of the 

Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 424a). 

SSA Match 1020: Sections 215(a)(7) 

and 215(d)(3) of the Social Security Act 

(42 U.S.C. 415(a)(7) and 415(d)(3)). 

SSA Match 1021: Section 

202(b)(4)(A), (c)(2)(A), (e)(7)(a), (f)(2)(A), 

and (g)(4)(A) of the Social Security Act 

(42 U.S.C. 402(b)(4)(A), (c)(2)(A), 

(e)(7)(A), (f)(2)(A) and (g)(4) (A)). 

D. Categories of Records and 

Individuals Covered by the Match 

OPM will provide SSA with an 

electronic file extracted from OPM’s 

Annuity and Survivor Master File. The 

extracted file will contain information 

about each new annuitant and 

annuitants whose pension amount has 

changed. Each record on the OPM file 

will be matched to SSA’s: (1) Master 

Files of Social Security Number (SSN) 

Holders and SSN Applications (SSA/ 

OEEAS, 60–0058; (2) Master Beneficiary 

Record (SSA/OEEAS, 60–0090); or (3) 

Supplemental Security Income and 

Special Veterans’ Benefits Record (SSA/ 

OEEAS 60–0103) for the purposes 

described above in Section B. 

E. Inclusive Dates of the Match 

The matching program shall become 

effective upon the signing of the 

agreement by both parties to the 

agreement and approval of the 

agreement by the Data Integrity Boards 

of the respective agencies, but no sooner 

than 40 days after notice of this 

matching program is sent to Congress 

and the Office of Management and 

Budget or 30 days after publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register, 

whichever is later. The matching 

program will continue for 18 months

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Approval of Noise Compatibility 

Program for Pago Pago International 

Airport, American Samoa 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

findings on the noise compatibility 

program submitted by the Department of 

Port Administration of the American 

Samoa Government under the 

provisions of Title I of the Aviation 

Safety and Noise Abatement Act, as 

amended, (Pub. L. 96–193) (hereinafter 

referred to as ‘‘the Act’’) and 14 CFR 

part 150. These findings are made in 

recognition of the description of Federal 

and nonfederal responsibilities in 

Senate Report No. 96–52 (1980). On 

January 28, 2005, the FAA determined 

that the noise exposure maps submitted 

by Department of Port Administration of 

the American Samoa Government under 

Part 150 were in compliance with 

applicable requirements. 

DATES: The effective date of the FAA’s 

approval of the Noise Compatibility 

Program for Pago Pago International 

Airport is July 21, 2005. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Gordon Wong, Project Manager, 

Honolulu Airports District Office, 

Airports Division, Western-Pacific 

Region, Federal Aviation 

Administration, 300 Ala Moana 

Boulevard, 7–128, Honolulu, Hawaii 

96850. Telephone: 808/541–3565. 

Documents reflecting this FAA action 

may be reviewed at this same location. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA has 

given its overall approval to the Noise 

Compatibility Program for Pago Pago 

International Airport, effective July 21, 

2005. Under section 104(a) of the 

Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement 

Act of 1979, as amended (herein after 

referred to as the ‘‘Act’’) [recodified as 

49 U.S.C. 47504], an airport operator 

who has previously submitted a Noise 

Exposure Map may submit to the FAA 

a Noise Compatibility Program which 

sets forth the measures taken or 

proposed by the airport operator for the 

reduction of existing non-compatible 

land uses and prevention of additional 

non-compatible land uses within the 

area covered by the Noise Exposure 

Maps. The Act requires such programs 

to be developed in consultation with 

interested and affected parties including 

local communities, government 

agencies, airport users, and FAA 

personnel. 

Each airport noise compatibility 

program developed in accordance with 

Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 

150 is a local program, not a Federal 

program. The FAA does not substitute 

its judgment for that of the airport 

proprietor with respect to which 

measures should be recommended for 

action. The FAA’s approval or 

disapproval of FAR Part 150 program 

recommendations is measured 

according to the standards expressed in 

Part 150 and the Act and is limited to 

the following determinations: 

a. The Noise Compatibility Program 

was developed in accordance with the 

provisions and procedures of FAR Part 

150; 

b. Program measures are reasonably 

consistent with achieving the goals of 

reducing existing non-compatible land 

uses around the airport and preventing 

the introduction of additional noncompatible land uses; 

c. Program measures would not create 

an undue burden on interstate or foreign 

commerce, unjustly discriminate against 

types or classes of aeronautical uses, 

violate the terms of airport grant 

agreements, or intrude into areas 

preempted by the Federal Government; 

and 

d. Program measures relating to the 

use of flight procedures can be 

implemented within the period covered 

by the program without derogating 

safety, adversely affecting the efficient 

use and management of the navigable 

airspace and air traffic control systems, 

or adversely affecting other powers and 

responsibilities of the Administrator 

prescribed by law. 

Specific limitations with respect to 

FAA’s approval of an airport noise 

compatibility program are delineated in 

FAR Part 150, Section 150.5. Approval 

is not a determination concerning the 

acceptability of land uses under Federal, 

state, or local law. Approval does not by 

itself constitute an FAA implementing 

action. A request for Federal action or 

approval to implement specific noise 

compatibility measures may be 

required, and an FAA decision on the 

request may require an environmental 

assessment of the proposed action. 

Approval does not constitute a 

commitment by the FAA to financially 

assist in the implementation of the 

program nor a determination that all 

measures covered by the program are 

eligible for grant-in-aid funding from the 

FAA under the Airport and Airway 

Improvement Act of 1982, as amended. 

Where federal funding is sought, 

requests for project grants must be 

submitted to the FAA Airports District 

Office in Honolulu, Hawaii. 

The Department of Port 

Administration of the American Samoa 

Government submitted to the FAA on 

December 9, 2004, the Noise Exposure 

Maps, descriptions, and other 

documentation produced during the 

noise compatibility planning study 

conducted from June 2, 2003 through 

December 9, 2004. The Pago Pago 

International Airport Noise Exposure 

Maps were determined by FAA to be in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements on January 28, 2005. 

Notice of this determination was 

published in the Federal Register on 

February 8, 2005. 

The Pago Pago International Airport 

study contains a proposed noise 

compatibility program comprised of 

actions designed for phased 

implementation by airport management 

and adjacent jurisdictions from 

(December 9, 2004 to beyond the year 

2010). It was requested that the FAA 

evaluate and approve this material as a 

Noise Compatibility Program as 

described in 49 U.S.C. § 47504 (formerly 

Section 104(b) of the Act). The FAA 

began its review of the program on 

January 28, 2005 and was required by a 

provision of the Act to approve or 

disapprove the program within 180 days 

(other than the use of new or modified 

flight procedures for noise control). 

Failure to approve or disapprove such 

program within the 180-day period shall 

be deemed to be an approval of such 

program. 

The submitted program contained ten 

(10) proposed actions for noise 

abatement, land use management and 

program management on and off the 

airport. The FAA completed its review 

and determined that the procedural and 

substantive requirements of the Act and 

FAR Part 150 have been satisfied. The 

overall program was approved, by the 

Associate Administrator for Airports, 

effective July 21, 2005.
