vessels. The harbor site in Anchorage

Bay would require a rubblemound

breakwater to protect an approximately

5-acre moorage basin. The harbor site is

between two small streams and a

freshwater marsh. Potential harbor

impacts for any alternative are long-term

generation of harbor related pollutants

and commitment of tidelands to harbor

development that would modify the

habitat in the harbor area. The rock

quarry would not be specified.

ADDRESSES: Alaska District Corps of

Engineers, ATTN: Chief, Environmental

Resources Section, P.O. Box 898,

Anchorage, Alaska 99506–0898.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mr. Guy R. McConnell or Ms. Lizette

Boyer (907) 753–2637.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A

previous draft and final Environmental

Impact Statement was written for this

project in 1987 (Federal Register Notice

ERP No. F–COE–L39045–AK). A Record

of Decision was not signed. A notice to

the Federal Register was published on

June 12, 1989 for preparation of a DSEIS

to discuss additional project changes.

The final supplemental EIS was not

circulated because the project lost local

funding.

The project has been re-initiated. In

addition to presenting all the project

alternative, an alternatives plan is being

proposed for study. The new alternative,

at the previously selected site, would reposition the breakwater to include wave

protection from the south-southwest as

well as from the west. The analysis

would study the best location for an

entrance channel and tideland fill

staging areas. Approximately 264,000

cubic yards of predominately sand

would be dredged from the harbor

basin.

The DSEIS would analyze the new

harbor alternative, all other alternatives

as necessary, and update information.

Much of the information contained in

the previous EIS will be incorporated by

reference. The final EIS will be made

available. Scoping of the EIS will

include continued coordination with

interested local, State, and Federal

agencies, and other interested parties.

Scoping meetings are not planned at

this time.

Anticipated subjects to be addressed

include, but are not limited to: water

quality, juvenile salmon and other fish

movement through the harbor, tideland

fill, wetlands, rock quarry issues, and

measures to minimize adverse impacts.

The expected completion date of the

DSEIS is spring 1995.

Defense Logistics Agency

Privacy Act of 1974; Computer

Matching Program Between the

Department of Transportation and the

Defense Manpower Data Center of the

Department of Defense

AGENCY: Defense Manpower Data

Center, Defense Logistics Agency,

Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice of a computer matching

program between the Department of

Transportation (DOT) and the

Department of Defense (DoD) for public

comment.

SUMMARY: Subsection (e)(12) of the

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, (5

U.S.C. 552a) requires agencies to

publish advance notice of any proposed

or revised computer matching program

by the matching agency for public

comment. The DoD, as the matching

agency under the Privacy Act is hereby

giving constructive notice in lieu of

direct notice to the record subjects of a

computer matching program between

DOT and DoD that their records are

being matched by computer. The record

subjects are DOT delinquent debtors

who may be current or former Federal

employees receiving Federal salary or

benefit payments and who are

delinquent in their repayment of debts

owed to the United States Government

under programs administered by DOT

so as to permit DOT to pursue and

collect the debt by voluntary repayment

or by administrative or salary offset

procedures under the provisions of the

Debt Collection Act of 1982.

DATES: This proposed action will

become effective March 20, 1995, and

the computer matching will proceed

accordingly without further notice,

unless comments are received which

would result in a contrary

determination or if the Office of

Management and Budget or Congress

objects thereto. Any public comment

must be received before the effective

date.

ADDRESSES: Any interested party may

submit written comments to the

Director, Defense Privacy Office, Crystal

Mall 4, Room 920, 1941 Jefferson Davis

Highway, Arlington, VA 22202–4502.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Aurelio Nepa, Jr. at telephone (703)

607–2943.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to subsection (o) of the Privacy Act of

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

DMDC and DOT have concluded an

agreement to conduct a computer

matching program between the agencies.

The purpose of the match is to exchange

personal data between the agencies for

debt collection. The match will yield

the identity and location of the debtors

within the Federal government so that

DOT can pursue recoupment of the debt

by voluntary payment or by

administrative or salary offset

procedures. Computer matching

appeared to be the most efficient and

effective manner to accomplish this task

with the least amount of intrusion of

personal privacy of the individuals

concerned. It was therefore concluded

and agreed upon that computer

matching would be the best and least

obtrusive manner and choice for

accomplishing this requirement.

A copy of the computer matching

agreement between DOT and DMDC is

available upon request to the public.

Requests should be submitted to the

address caption above or to the Chief,

Financial Asset Management Staff,

Department of Transportation, 400 7th

Street, SW, Room 9130, Washington, DC

20590. Telephone (202) 366–6100.

Set forth below is the notice of the

establishment of a computer matching

program required by paragraph 6.c. of

the Office of Management and Budget

Guidelines on computer matching

published in the Federal Register at 54

FR 25818 on June 19, 1989.

The matching agreement, as required

by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the Privacy Act,

and an advance copy of this notice was

submitted on February 1, 1995, to the

Committee on Government Operations

of the House of Representatives, the

Committee on Governmental Affairs of

the Senate, and the Administrator of the

Office of Information and Regulatory

Affairs, Office of Management and

Budget pursuant to paragraph 4d of

Appendix I to OMB Circular No. A–130,

‘Federal Agency Responsibilities for

Maintaining Records about Individuals,’

dated July 15, 1994 (59 FR 37906, July

25, 1994). The matching program is

subject to review by OMB and Congress

and shall not become effective until that

review period has elapsed.

Officer, Department of Defense.

Notice of a Computer Program

Between the Department of

Transportation and the Department of

Defense for Debt Collection

A. Participating agencies:

Participants in this computer matching

program are the Department of

Transportation (DOT) and the Defense

Manpower Data Center (DMDC) of the

Department of Defense (DoD). The DOT

is the source agency, i.e., the activity

disclosing the records for the purpose of

the match. The DMDC is the specific

recipient activity or matching agency,

i.e., the agency that actually performs

the computer matching.

B. Purpose of the match: Upon the

execution of an agreement, the DOT will

provide and disclose debtor records to

DMDC to identify and locate any

matched Federal personnel, employed

or retired, who may owe delinquent

debts to the Federal Government under

certain programs administered by the

DOD. The DOT will use this information

to initiate independent collection of

those debts under the provisions of the

Debt Collection Act of 1982 when

voluntary payment is not forthcoming.

These collection efforts will include

requests by the DOT of any employing

Federal agency to apply administrative

and/or salary offset procedures until

such time as the obligation is paid in

full.

C. Authority for conducting the

match: The legal authority for

conducting the matching program is

contained in the Debt Collection Act of

1982 (Pub. L. 97–365), 31 U.S.C.

Chapter 37, Subchapter I (General) and

Subchapter II (Claims of the United

States Government), 31 U.S.C. 3711

Appointment Powers and Duties;

section 206 of Executive Order 11222; 4

CFR Ch. II, Federal Claims Collection

Standards (General Accounting Office -

Department of Justice); 5 CFR 550.1101

- 550.1108 Collection by Offset from

Indebted Government Employees

(OPM); 49 CFR part 92, Recovering Debt

to the United States by Salary Offset

(DOT).

D. Records to be matched: The

systems of records maintained by the

respective agencies under the Privacy

Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a,

from which records will be disclosed for

the purpose of this computer match are

as follows:

The DOT will use personal data from

the Privacy Act record system identified

as DOT/ALL 10, entitled, ‘Debt

Collection File’, last published in the

Federal Register at 59 FR 54941 on

November 2, 1994.

DMDC will use personal data from the

record systems identified as S322.11

DMDC, entitled ‘Federal Creditor

Agency Debt Collection Data Base,’ last

published in the Federal Register on

February 22, 1993, at 58 FR 10875.

Sections 5 and 10 of the Debt

Collection Act (Pub.L. 97–365)

authorize agencies to disclose

information about debtors in order to

effect salary or administrative offsets.

Agencies must publish routine uses

pursuant to subsection (b)(3) of the

Privacy Act for those systems of records

from which they intend to disclose this

information. Sections 5 and 10 of the

Debt Collection Act will comprise the

necessary authority to meet the Privacy

Act’s ‘compatibility’ condition. The

systems of records described above

contain an appropriate routine use

disclosure between the agencies of the

information proposed in the match. The

routine use provisions are compatible

with the purpose for which the

information was collected.

E. Description of computer matching

program: The DOT, as the source

agency, will provide DMDC with a

magnetic computer tape which contains

the names of delinquent debtors in

programs the DOT administers. Upon

receipt of the magnetic computer tape

file of debtor accounts, DMDC will

perform a computer match using all

nine digits of the SSN of the DOT file

against a DMDC computer database. The

DMDC database, established under an

interagency agreement between DOD,

OPM, OMB, and the Department of the

Treasury, consists of employment

records of Federal employees and

military members, active, and retired.

Matching records (‘hits’), based on the

SSN, will produce the member’s name,

service or agency, category of employee,

and current work or home address. The

hits or matches will be furnished to the

DOT. The DOT is responsible for

verifying and determining that the data

on the DMDC reply tape file are

consistent with the DOT source file and

for resolving any discrepancies or

inconsistencies on an individual basis.

The DOT will also be responsible for

making final determinations as to

positive identification, amount of

indebtedness and recovery efforts as a

result of the match.

The magnetic computer tape provided

by DOT will contain data elements of

the debtor’s name, Social Security

Number, debtor status and debt balance,

internal account numbers and the total

amount owed on approximately 2,100

delinquent debtors.

The DMDC computer database file

contains approximately 10 million

records of active duty and retired

military members, including the Reserve

and Guard, and the OPM government

wide Federal civilian records of current

and retired Federal employees.

F. Inclusive dates of the matching

program: This computer matching

program is subject to review by the

Office of Management and Budget and

Congress. If no objections are raised by

either, and the mandatory 30 day public

notice period for comment has expired

for this Federal Register notice with no

significant adverse public comments in

receipt resulting in a contrary

determination, then this computer

matching program becomes effective

and the respective agencies may begin

the exchange of data 30 days after the

date of this published notice at a

mutually agreeable time and will be

repeated annually. Under no

circumstances shall the matching

program be implemented before the 30

day public notice period for comment

has elapsed as this time period cannot

be waived. By agreement between DOT

and DMDC, the matching program will

be in effect and continue for 18 months

with an option to renew for 12

additional months unless one of the

parties to the agreement advises the

other by written request to terminate or

modify the agreement.

G. Address for receipt of public

comments or inquiries: Director,

Defense Privacy Office, Crystal Mall 4,

Room 920, 1941 Jefferson Davis
