Cancel Note 3 to Item 325 and Item 327.

DATES: Comments concerning the

proposed changes must reach

Headquarters, Military Traffic

Management Command, ATTN: MTOP–

T–SR, 629 NASSIF Building, 5611

Columbia Pike, Falls Church, VA

22041–5050, within 60 days of the

publication date of this Federal Register

notice.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mr. Julian Jolkovsky, MTOP–T–SR,

(703) 681–3440, or Mr. James Murphy,

MTOP–T–SR (703) 681–3443.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These

changes will clarify that the

commodities in these Item 325 and 327

paragraphs refer to ‘‘bulk’’ commodities.

‘‘Bulk,’’ as used in Items 325 and 327,

means a package containing only the

individual commodity, such as a

package containing only lead azide.

Shipments of small amounts of these

commodities, as components of

ammunition, have significantly lower

risk because of safe and arming designs

and devices and packaging, and

therefore should not be subject to higher

minimum weights. Cancellation of Note

3 to Items 325 and 327 eliminates

misinterpretations concerning chemical

ammunition that have occurred in the

past.

BILLING CODE 3710–08–M

Defense Logistics Agency

Privacy Act of 1974: Computer

Matching Program Between the

Department of Defense and the Social

Security Administration

AGENCY: Defense Manpower Data

Center, Defense Logistics Agency,

Department of Defense (DoD).

ACTION: Notice of a computer matching

program between the Social Security

Administration and the Department of

Defense.

SUMMARY: Subsection (e)(12) of the

Privacy Act, 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

Department of Defense (DoD), as the

matching agency under the Privacy Act,

is (1) hereby giving indirect or

constructive notice in lieu of direct

notice to the record subjects of this

computer matching program between

the Social Security Administration

(SSA) and DoD that their records are

being matched to validate an applicant’s

initial eligibility for, or recipients

receiving, Supplemental Security

Income (SSI) benefits from the SSA; and

(2) announcing to the public the

opportunity to comment on the

proposed computer matching program.

DATES: This proposed action is effective

on July 25, 1996, when the computer

matching agreement will become

effective and 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 comments

must be received before the effective

date.

ADDRESSES: Please submit written

comments to the Director, Defense

Privacy Office, 1941 Jefferson Davis

Highway, Room 920, Arlington, VA

22202–4502. Telephone (703) 607–2943

or DSN 327–2943.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to subsection (o) of the Privacy Act of

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

DoD and the SSA has concluded an

agreement to conduct a computer

matching program between the agencies.

The purpose of the computer match is

to verify the information furnished to

the SSA by applicants and recipients of

Supplemental Security Income benefits

who are retired military members or

their survivors. By law, the SSA must

independently verify the information

submitted by applicants and recipients.

Computer matching appeared to be the

most efficient and economical manner

in which this verification process could

be accomplished while preserving the

due process of the individual

concerned. Therefore, it was 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 the SSA and the

DoD is available upon request to the

public. Requests should be submitted to

the address above or to Mr. Steve Hawk,

Matching Staff, Social Security

Administration, 3-J-3 Annex Building,

6401 Security Boulevard, Baltimore, MD

21235.

Set forth below is a 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,

was submitted on June 4, 1996, to the

Committee on Government Reform and

Oversight 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

February 8, 1996 (61 FR 6428, February

20, 1996). The matching program is

subject to review by OMB and Congress

and shall not become effective until that

review period has elapsed.

Dated: June 10, 1996.

Officer, Department of Defense.

Computer Matching Program Between

the Department of Defense and the

Social Security Administration for

Verification of Eligibiltiy for

Supplemental Security Income

A. Participating agencies: Participants

in this computer matching are the Social

Security Administration (SSA) and the

Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC)

of the Department of Defense (DoD). The

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

agency disclosing the records for the

purpose of the match. The DMDC is the

specific recipient agency or matching

agency, i.e., the agency that actually

performs the computer matching.

B. Purpose of the match: The Social

Security Act requires SSA to verify,

with independent or collateral sources,

information provided to SSA by

applicants for and recipients of SSI

payments. The SSI applicant or

recipient provides information about

eligibility factors and other relevant

information. SSA obtains additional

information as necessary before making

any determinations of eligibility or

payment amounts or adjustments

thereto. With respect to military
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 25, 1996 / Notices 32779

retirement payments to SSI recipients

who are former members of the

Uniformed Services or their survivors,

SSA proposes to accomplish this task by

computer matching with the DOD. The

component responsible for the

disclosure on behalf of DOD is the

Defense Manpower Data Center. The

responsible component for SSA is the

Office of Program Benefits Policy.

C. Authority for conducting the

match: The legal authority for the

matching program is contained in

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

Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.

1383(e)(1)(B) and (f)).

D. Records to be matched: The

systems of records maintained by the

respective agencies under the Privacy

Act, from which records will be

disclosed for the proposed computer

match are as follows:

The Social Security Administration,

will use records from a system

identified as 09–60–0103, entitled

‘Supplemental Security Income Record,

(SSR), HHS/SSA/OSR’, last published in

the Federal Register at 60 FR 2150 on

January 6, 1995.

The category of records to be used

from this system is the SSI eligibility

file. DMDC (DoD) will use a record

system from the Defense Logistics

Agency identified as S322.10 DMDC

entitled ‘Defense Manpower Data Center

Data Base’, published in the Federal

Register at 61 FR 6355 on February 20,

1996. The categories of records utilized

are military retirees and/or their

survivors. The specific data elements to

be used in the match are set forth below

under the description of the computer

matching program. Both systems of

records respectively contain an

appropriate routine use disclosure

provision permitting the interchange of

the affected personal information

between SSA and DMDC. These routine

uses are compatible with the purpose

for collecting the information and

establishing and maintaining the record

system.

E. Description of computer matching

program: A electronic query file,

provided by SSA as the source, will

contain approximately 5.5 million

records extracted form the

Supplemental Security Income Record

system of records which is made up of

individual record subjects containing

the name, social security number and

type of beneficiary. The query file will

be matched by DMDC, as the recipient

matching agency, and matched against

the data base category of individuals

who are retired members of the

Uniformed Services of the United

States: Army, Navy, Air Force Marine

Corps, Coast Guard, or the

commissioned corps of either the

national Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration or the Public Health

Service. DMDC will match on the social

security number and provide the SSA in

a electronic reply file with information

on each match (hit), including the

following data elements: name, date of

birth, address, payments status, monthly

pension amount, date of entitlement, the

date of any payments stopped and

reason. The electronic reply file will

contain approximately 4,000 records.

SSA will be responsible for verifying

and determining if the data on the

DMDC reply file are consistent with the

data of the SSA query file and to

resolving any discrepancies or

inconsistencies on an individual basis.

SSA will also be responsible for making

final determinations as to eligibility for,

or thereto or any recovery of

overpayments as a result of the match.

G. 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 on an annual basis. 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 SSA

and DMDC, the matching program will

be in effect and continue for 18 months

with an option to extend it for 12

additional months.

comments or inquiries: Director,

Defense Privacy Office, 1941 Jefferson

Davis Highway, Room 920, Arlington,

VA 22202–4502. Telephone (703) 607–
