46254 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 154 / Friday, August 8, 2008 / Notices 

U.S.C. 1306(a)) and the regulations 

promulgated pursuant to that section 

(20 CFR part 401). 

4. Categories of Records and 

Individuals Covered by the Match 

The Federal Student Aid Application 

File (18–11–01), which contains the 

information to determine an applicant’s 

eligibility for Federal student financial 

assistance, and the ED PIN Registration 

System of Records (18–11–12), which 

contains the applicant’s information to 

receive an ED PIN, will be matched 

against SSA’s Master Files of Social 

Security Number Holders and SSN 

Applications System, SSA/OS, 60–0058, 

which maintains records about each 

individual who has applied for and 

obtained an SSN. 

5. Privacy Impact Assessment 

Section 208 of the E-Government Act 

of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501 note) requires 

ED to conduct the following privacy 

impact assessment of this information 

collection: 

The information collected by ED 

under the computer matching agreement 

is the verification of SSNs by SSA and 

citizenship status as recorded in SSA 

records, for the purpose of assisting ED 

to satisfy its obligation to ensure that an 

individual applying for financial 

assistance meets the requirements 

imposed under the HEA. This 

verification is mandated by the HEA. 

The information obtained from SSA by 

ED will only be used as provided for 

under Section X of the computer 

matching agreement. Notice that ED 

verifies an individual’s SSN through a 

computer matching agreement with 

agencies such as SSA is provided to 

individuals in the Privacy and Security 

section of the Free Application for 

Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and in 

Federal student loan program forms; 

submission of a FAFSA and 

participation in the Federal student loan 

programs are voluntary. The 

information obtained from SSA under 

the computer matching agreement will 

be secured pursuant to the procedures 

described in Section IX of the computer 

matching agreement. No new system of 

records is being created for this 

collection because, as noted in the 

computer matching agreement, routine 

uses permitting the disclosure of records 

to allow for the verification of SSNs are 

already included in the Systems of 

Records Notices for Federal student aid 

programs. Thus, this collection 

comports with applicable Privacy Act 

standards and section 208. 

6. Effective Dates of the Matching 

Program 

This matching program must be 

approved by the Data Integrity Board of 

each agency. The computer matching 

agreement will become effective on: (1) 

October 10, 2008; (2) 40 days after the 

approved agreement and report on the 

matching program are sent to Congress 

and OMB (or later if OMB objects to 

some or all of the agreement) unless 

OMB waives 10 days of this 40-day 

period for compelling reasons shown, in 

which case 30 days after transmission of 

the report to Congress and OMB; or (3) 

30 days after publication of this notice 

in the Federal Register, whichever date 

is latest. 

The matching program will continue 

for 18 months after the effective date 

and may be extended for an additional 

12 months thereafter, if the conditions 

specified in 5 U.S.C. 552a(o)(2)(D) have 

been met. 

7. Address for Receipt of Public 

Comments or Inquiries 

Individuals wishing to comment on 

this matching program, or to obtain 

additional information about the 

program, including a copy of the 

computer matching agreement between 

ED and SSA, should contact Marya
