Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 83 / Monday, April 29, 1996 / Notices 18767

1990 (Pub. L. 101–508) further amended

the Privacy Act regarding protections for

such individuals. The Privacy Act, as

amended, regulates the use of computer

matching by Federal agencies when

records in a system of records are

matched with other Federal, State, or

local government records.

Among other things, it requires

Federal agencies involved in computer

matching programs to:

(1) Negotiate written agreements with

the other agency or agencies

participating in the matching programs;

(2) Obtain the Data Integrity Boards’

approval of the match agreements;

(3) Furnish detailed reports about

matching programs to Congress and

OMB;

(4) Notify applicants and beneficiaries

that their records are subject to

matching; and

(5) Verify match findings before

reducing, suspending, terminating or

denying an individual’s benefits or

payments.

B. SSA Computer Matches Subject to

the Privacy Act

We have taken action to ensure that

all of SSA’s computer matching

programs comply with the requirements

of the Privacy Act, as amended.

Dated: April 16, 1996.

Shirley S. Chater,

Commissioner of Social Security.

Notice of Computer Matching Program,

Social Security Administration (SSA)

with the Health Care Financing

Administration (HCFA)

A. Participating Agencies

SSA and HCFA.

B. Purpose of the Matching Program

The purpose of this matching program

is to establish conditions under which

HCFA agrees to the disclosure of

Medicaid facility admission and billing

data. SSA will use the match results to

verify the eligibility of, and the correct

amount of benefits payable to,

individuals under the supplemental

security income (SSI) program, which

provides payments under title XVI of

the Social Security Act (the Act) to aged,

blind and disabled recipients with

income and resources below levels

established by law and regulations, and

federally administered supplementary

payments under Section 1616 of the

Act, including payments under section

212 of Pub. L. 93–66, 87 Stat. 152.

Admission to a Medicaid facility would,

under certain circumstances, subject the

amount of SSI which an individual

could receive for any month throughout

which the individual is in such a

facility to specific statutory limitations.

C. Authority for Conducting the

Matching Program

Section 1611(e) (1) (B) and 1631 (f) of

the Act (42 U.S.C. 1382(e) (1) (B) and

1383 (f)).

D. Categories of Records and

Individuals Covered by the Match

SSA will provide HCFA with

identifying information with respect to

applicants for and recipients of SSI

benefits extracted from SSA’s

Supplemental Security Income Record

to identify individuals potentially

subject to benefit reductions or

termination of payment eligibility under

the statutory provisions listed above.

HCFA will match the SSNs, names, date

of birth, sex and race on this finder file

with its Medicaid Statistical Information

System File and provide a reply file of

SSNs common to both files. HCFA will

also provide SSA with the Medicaid

facility name, address and telephone

number for SSN’s common to both files.

E. Inclusive Dates of the Match

The matching program shall become

effective no sooner than 40 days after a

copy of the agreement, as approved by

the Data Integrity Boards of both

agencies, is sent to Congress and the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) (or later if OMB objects to some

or all of the agreement) or 30 days after

publication of this notice in the Federal

Register, whichever is later. The

matching program will continue for 18

months from the effective date and may

be extended for an additional 12 months

thereafter, if certain conditions are met.

Environmental Impact Statement:

Proposed Conversion of the

Tennessee Valley Authority Bellefonte

Nuclear Power Plant

AGENCY: Tennessee Valley Authority.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The Tennessee Valley

Authority (TVA) will prepare an

environmental impact statement (EIS)

for the proposed conversion and

operation of the unfinished Bellefonte

Nuclear Power Plant as a fossil-fueled

power plant. Bellefonte Nuclear Power

Plant is located near the cities of

Hollywood and Scottsboro in northeast

Alabama. The proposed action would

undertake conversion, modification and

addition of equipment; the construction

of new facilities; and the subsequent

operation of the Bellefonte facility as a

fossil-fueled power plant with an

approximate electric capacity between

450 megawatts (MW) and 3,000 MW,

dependent on the conversion alternative

selected. Fossil fuels to be considered

are natural gas, coal, and petroleum
