offer products with the last mile service 

through the Postal Service. Id. 

The Postal Service states that the 

views of those who use the product are 

mainly concerned that the transfer will 

lead to price increases. In response, the 

Postal Service claims prices will need to 

be increased even absent a transfer to 

the competitive product list. It further 

states that one large customer supports 

transfer which offers the possibility of 

contracts for the product. The Postal 

Service states the transfer will allow 

contracts for complete shipping 

solutions and create mutually beneficial 

comprehensive solutions for shipping 

needs. Id. at 11. The Postal Service is 

not aware of any small business that 

offers products competing with 

commercial Standard Mail Fulfillment 

Parcels. Id. at 11–12.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. General 

The Computer-Matching and Privacy 

Protection Act of 1988, (Pub. L. 100– 

503), amended by the Privacy Act of 

1974, (5 U.S.C. 552a) as amended, 

requires a Federal agency participating 

in a computer-matching program to 

publish a notice in the Federal Register 

for all matching programs. 

The Privacy Act, as amended, 

regulates the use of computer-matching 

by Federal agencies when records 

contained in a Privacy Act System of 

Records are matched with other Federal, 

State, or local government records. 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 approval of the 

matching agreement by the Data 

Integrity Boards (DIB) of the 

participating Federal agencies; 

(3) Publish notice of the computer 

matching program in the Federal 

Register; 

(4) Furnish detailed reports about 

matching programs to Congress and 

OMB; 

(5) Notify applicants and beneficiaries 

that their records are subject to 

matching; and 

(6) Verify match findings before 

reducing, suspending, terminating, or 

denying a person’s benefits or 

payments. The last notice for this 

matching program was published at 73 

FR 2287–2288 (January 14, 2008). 

B. RRB Computer Matches Subject to 

the Privacy Act 

We have taken appropriate action to 

ensure that all of our computermatching programs comply with the 

requirements of the Privacy Act, as 

amended. 

Notice of Computer-Matching Program, 

RRB With the Office of Personnel 

Management (OMB) 

A. Name of Participating Agencies 

OPM and RRB. 

B. Purpose of the Matching Program 

The purpose of the match is to enable 

the RRB to (1) identify affected RRB 

annuitants who are in receipt of a 

Federal public pension benefit but who 

have not reported receipt of this benefit 

to the RRB, and (2) receive needed 

Federal public pension benefit 

information for affected RRB annuitants 

more timely and accurately. 

C. Authority for Conducting the Match 

Sections 3(a)(1), 4(a)(1) and 4(f)(1) of 

the Railroad Retirement Act, as 

amended, 45 U.S.C. 231b(a)(1), 

231c(a)(1) and 231c(f)(1) require that the 

RRB reduce the Railroad Retirement 

benefits of certain beneficiaries entitled 

to Railroad Retirement employee and/or 

spouse/widow benefits who are also 

entitled to a government pension based 

on their own non-covered earnings. We 

call this reduction a Public Service 

Pension (PSP) offset. 

Section 224 of the Social Security Act, 

as amended, 42 U.S.C. 424a, provides 

for the reduction of disability benefits 

when the disabled worker is also 

entitled to a public disability benefit 

(PDB). We call this a PDB offset. A civil 

service disability benefit is considered a 

PDB. Section 224(h)(1) requires any 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 167 / Monday, August 30, 2010 / Notices 53005 

Federal agency to provide RRB with 

information in its possession that RRB 

may require for the purposes of making 

a timely determination of the amount of 

reduction under section 224 of the 

Social Security Act. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

Section 552a(b)(3) OPM has established 

routine uses to disclose the subject 

information to RRB. 

D. Categories of Records and 

Individuals Covered 

The records to be used in the match 

and the roles of the matching 

participants are described as follows: 

OPM will provide the RRB once a year 

via secure encrypted electronic transfer, 

data extracted from its annuity and 

survivor master file of its Civil Service 

Retirement and Insurance Records. The 

Privacy Act System of Records 

designation is OPM/Central-1, (Civil 

Service Retirement and Insurance 

Records), Published in the Federal 

Register on October 8, 1999 (64 FR 

54930) and amended on May 3, 2000 (65 

FR 25775). The RRB Privacy Act System 

of Records is RRB–22, Railroad 

Retirement, Survivor, and Pensioner 

Benefit System, published in the 

Federal Register on July 26, 2010 (75 FR 

43727). 

Normally in December of each year, 

OPM transmits to us approximately 2.5 

million electronic records for matching. 

The records contain these data 

elements: Name, social security number, 

date of birth, civil service claim number, 

first potential month and year of 

eligibility for civil service benefits, first 

month, day, year of entitlement to civil 

service benefits, amount of current gross 

civil service benefits, and effective date 

(month, day, year) of civil service 

amount, and where applicable, civil 

service disability indicator, civil service 

FICA covered month indicator, and civil 

service total service months. The RRB 

will match the Social Security number, 

name, and date of birth contained in the 

OPM file against approximately the 1.2 

million records in our files. For records 

that match, the RRB will extract the 

civil service payment information. 

E. Inclusive Dates of the Matching 

Program 

This matching program will become 

effective 40 days after a copy of the 

agreement, as approved by the Data 

Integrity Board of each agency, is sent 

to Congress and the Office of 

Management and Budget, or 30 days 

after publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, whichever date is 

later. The matching program will 

continue for 18 months after the 

effective date and may be extended for 

an additional 12 months, if the 

conditions specified in 5 U.S.C. 

552a(o)(2)(D) have been met. 

Dated: August 24, 2010. 

By authority of the Board. 

Beatrice Ezerski, 

Secretary to the Board.
