[Docket No. N–95–3890; FR 3882–N–01]

Privacy Act of 1974; Notice of a

Computer Matching Program

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of a Computer Matching

Program—HUD and Department of

Veterans Affairs (DVA).

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as

amended by the Computer Matching

and Privacy Protection Act of 1988 (Pub.

L. 100–503), and the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB)

Guidelines on the Conduct of Matching

Programs (54 FR 25818 (June 19, 1989)),

and OMB Bulletin 89–22, ‘‘Instructions

on Reporting Computer Matching

Programs to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB), Congress and the

Public,’’ the Department of Housing and

Urban Development (HUD) is issuing a

public notice of its intent to conduct a

computer matching program with the

Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) to

utilize a computer information system

of HUD, the Credit Alert Interactive

Voice Response System (CAIVRS), with

DVA’s debtor files. This match will

allow prescreening of applicants for

loans or loans guaranteed by the Federal

Government to ascertain if the applicant

is delinquent in paying a debt owed to

or insured by the Federal Government

for HUD or DVA direct or guaranteed

loans. Before granting a loan, the

lending agency and/or the authorized

lending institution will be able to

interrogate the CAIVRS debtor file

which contains the Social Security

Numbers (SSNs) of HUD’s delinquent

debtors and defaulters and defaulted

debtor records from the Departments of

Veterans Affairs, Education,

Agriculture, and the Small Business

Administration, and verify that the loan

applicant is not in default or delinquent

on direct or guaranteed loans of

participating Federal programs of either

agency. Authorized users place a

telephone call to the system. The system

provides a recorded message followed

by a series of instructions, one of which

if a requirement for the SSN of the loan

applicant. The system then reports

audibly whether the SSN is related to

delinquent or defaulted Federal

obligations. As a result of the

information produced by this match, the

authorized users may not deny,

terminate, or make a final decision of

any loan assistance to an applicant,

until an officer or employee of such

agency has independently verified such

information.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Computer matching is

expected to begin at least 40 days from

the date this computer matching notice

is published, provided no comments are

received which would result in a

contrary determination. It will be

accomplished 18 months from the

beginning date.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are

invited to submit comments regarding

this notice to the Rules Docket Clerk,

Office of General Counsel, Room 10276,

Department of Housing and Urban

Development, 451 7th Street SW.,

Washington, DC 20410.

Communications should refer to the

above docket number and title. A copy

of each communication submitted will

be available for public inspection and

copying between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30

p.m. weekdays at the above address.

Reporting

In accordance with Pub. L. 100–503,

the Computer Matching and Privacy

Protection Act of 1988, as amended, and

Office of Management and Budget

Bulletin 89–22, ‘‘Instructions on

Reporting Computer Matching Programs

to the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB), Congress and the Public;’’

copies of this Notice and report, in

duplicate, are being provided to the
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 36 / Thursday, February 23, 1995 / Notices 10103

Committee on Government Operations

of the House of Representatives, the

Committee on Governmental Affairs of

the Senate, and the Office of

Management and Budget.

Authority

The matching program may be

conducted pursuant to Pub. L. 100–503,

‘‘The Computer Matching and Privacy

Protection Act of 1988,’’ as amended,

and Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) Circulars A–129 (Managing

Federal Credit Programs) and A–70

(Policies and Guidelines for Federal

Credit Programs). One of the purposes of

all Executive departments and

agencies—including HUD—is to

implement efficient management

practices for Federal credit programs.

OMB Circulars A–129 and A–70 were

issued under the authority of the Budget

and Accounting Act of 1921, as

amended; the Budget and Accounting

Act of 1950, as amended; the Debt

Collection Act of 1982, as amended;

and, the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984,

as amended.

Objectives To Be Met by the Matching

Program

The matching program will allow

DVA access to a system which permits

prescreening of applicants for loans or

loans guaranteed by the Federal

Government to ascertain if the applicant

is delinquent in paying a debt owed to

or insured by the Government. In

addition, HUD will be provided access

to DVA debtor data for prescreening

purposes.

Records To Be Matched

HUD will utilize its system of records

entitled HUD/DEPT–2, Accounting

Records. The debtor files for HUD

programs involved are included in this

system of records. HUD’s debtor files

contain information on borrowers and

coborrowers who are currently in

default (at least 90 days delinquent on

their loans); or who have any

outstanding claims paid during the last

three years on Title II insured or

guaranteed home mortgage loans; or

individuals who have defaulted on

Section 312 rehabilitation loans, or

individuals who have had a claim paid

in the last three years on a Title I loan.

For the CAIVRS match, HUD/DEPT–2,

System of Records, receives its program

inputs form HUD/DEPT–28, Property

Improvement and Manufactured

(Mobile) Home Loans—Default; HUD/

DEPT–32, Delinquent/Default/Assigned

Temporary Mortgage Assistance

Payments (TMAP) Program; and HUD/

CPD–1, Rehabilitation LoansDelinquent/Default.

The DVA will provide HUD with

debtor files from two systems of records:

58VA 21/22/28, Compensation, Pension,

Education and Rehabilitation RecordsVA; and 55VA26, Loan Guaranty Home,

Condominium and Manufactured Home

Loan Applicant Records, specially

Adapted Housing Applicant Records,

and Vendee Loan Applicant RecordsVA. HUD is maintaining DVA’s records

only as a ministerial action on behalf of

DVA, not as a part of HUD’s HUD/

DEPT–2 system of records. DVA’s data

contain information on individuals who

have defaulted on their guaranteed

loans. The DVA will retain ownership

and responsibility for their systems of

records that they place with HUD. HUD

serves only as a record location and

routine use recipient for DVA’s data.

Notice Procedures

As a condition of matching, HUD has

made modifications to the loan

application forms for the participating

programs to expand the Privacy Act

statements on the individual application

forms in the notation ‘‘that the

information provided by the applicant

can be used for computer matching

purposes and to collect debts owed to

the Federal government.’’ Any

deficiencies as to direct notice

procedures to the individual for the

matching program are cured by the

indirect or constructive notice that will

be afforded to the subjects when the

public notice of the proposed match is

published by HUD in the Federal

Register as required by subsection

(e)(12) of the Privacy Act.

Categories of Records/Individuals

Involved

The debtor records include these data

elements: SSN, claim number, program

code, and indication of indebtedness.

Categories or records include: Records

of claims and defaults, repayment

agreements, credit reports, financial

statements, and records of foreclosures.

Categories of individuals include:

Former mortgagors and purchasers of

HUD-owned properties manufactured

(mobile) home and home improvement

loan debtors who are delinquent or in

default on their loans, and rehabilitation

loan debtors who are delinquent or in

default on their loans.

Period of the Match

Matching will begin at least 40 days

from the date copies of the signed (by

both Data Integrity Boards) are sent to

both Houses of Congress or at least 30

days from the date this Notice is

published in the Federal Register,

whichever is later, providing no

comments are received which could

result in a contrary determination.
