33792 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 126 / Friday, June 28, 1996 / Notices

B. Compatibility of Proposed Routine

Use

We are proposing the changes

discussed above in accordance with the

Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(7), (b)(3),

(e)(4) and (e)(11)) and our disclosure

regulation (20 CFR part 401).

The Privacy Act permits us to disclose

information about individuals without

their consent for a routine use, i.e.,

where the information will be used for

a purpose that is compatible with the

purpose for which we collected the

information. Consistent with the Privacy

Act, under 20 CFR 401.310 we may

disclose information under a routine use

for administering our programs, or for

administering similar programs of other

agencies. SSA collects and maintains

SSNs and other personal identification

data in the Enumeration System in order

to identify and retrieve information

about individuals in SSA’s records, to

administer programs for which SSA is

responsible, and to detect the use of a

SSN by a person to whom the SSN was

not assigned. Other Federal, State and

local entities use such information for

similar purposes in programs similar to

SSA’s programs. Disclosing SSNs to

such Federal, State and local entities

will support the effective and efficient

administration of various assistance

programs by the States. Therefore, we

find that disclosing SSNs to Federal,

State and local entities for the purpose

of administering income-maintenance

and health-maintenance programs

serves purposes that are compatible

with purposes for which SSA collects

the information and meets the criteria of

the Privacy Act and the regulation for

establishment of a routine use.

C. Effect of the Proposal on Individual

Rights

As discussed above, the proposed

revised routine use will permit SSA to

disclose SSNs to Federal, State and local

entities for the purpose of administering

income-maintenance and healthmaintenance programs, where such use

is authorized by Federal statute.

Disclosure will assist Federal, State and

local entities in determining eligibility

for income-maintenance and healthmaintenance programs. While

disclosure will have some impact on the

privacy of individuals (for example,

States will be better able to determine

the true identity of applicants for

income-maintenance and healthmaintenance programs), disclosure will

only be made where authorized by

Federal statute and will reduce fraud

and abuse in these programs. SSA will

follow all statutory and regulatory

requirements for disclosure. Thus, we

do not anticipate that the disclosure will

have any unwarranted effect on the

privacy or other rights of individuals.

Commissioner of Customs,

Department of the Treasury, Washington, DC

20229.

Dear Commissioner: This directive

amends, but does not cancel, the directive

issued to you on January 11, 1996, by the

Chairman, Committee for the Implementation

of Textile Agreements. That directive

concerns imports of certain cotton, wool and

man-made fiber textile products, produced or

manufactured in the Dominican Republic

and exported during the twelve-month

period which began on January 1, 1996 and

extends through December 31, 1996.

Effective on June 27, 1996, you are directed

to adjust the limits for the following

categories, as provided for in the Uruguay

Round Agreements Act and the Uruguay

Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing:

Category Adjusted limit 1

338/638 .................... 811,441 dozen.

339/639 .................... 898,273 dozen.

1The limits have not been adjusted to account for any imports exported after December

31, 1995.

The 1996 Guaranteed Access Level (GAL)

for Category 442 is being increased to

105,000 dozen. The GALs for Categories 338/

638 and 339/639 remain unchanged.

The Committee for the Implementation of

Textile Agreements has determined that

these actions fall within the foreign affairs

exception of the rulemaking provisions of 5

U.S.C. 553(a)(1).

Sincerely,

Troy H. Cribb,

Chairman, Committee for the Implementation

of Textile Agreements.
