DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Privacy Act of 1974; Computer
Matching Program
AGENCY: Department of Education.
E:\FR\FM\13MYN1.SGM 13MYN1
 25586 Federal Register / Vol. 68, No. 92 / Tuesday, May 13, 2003 / Notices
ACTION: Notice—Computer Matching
between the Department of Education
and the Department of Justice.
SUMMARY: Section 5301(a)(1) of the Anti-
Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (now
designated as section 421(a)(1) of the
Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C.
862(a)(1))) includes provisions regarding
the judicial denial of Federal benefits.
Section 5301 authorizes Federal and
State judges to deny certain Federal
benefits (including student financial
assistance under Title IV of the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended) to
individuals convicted of drug trafficking
or possession.
In order to ensure that Title IV
student financial assistance is not
awarded to individuals subject to denial
of benefits under court orders issued
pursuant to section 5301, the
Department of Justice and the
Department of Education implemented a
computer matching program. The 18-
month computer matching agreement
(CMA) was recertified for an additional
12 months on June 18, 2002. The 12-
month recertification of the CMA will
automatically expire on June 18, 2003.
The Department of Education must
continue to obtain from the Department
of Justice identifying information
regarding individuals who are the
subject of section 5301 denial of benefits
court orders. The purpose of this notice
is to announce the continued operation
of the computer matching program and
to provide certain required information
concerning the computer-matching
program.
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended by the
Computer Matching and Privacy
Protection Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 100–
503), Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Guidelines on the Conduct of
Matching Programs (see 54 FR 25818,
June 19, 1989), and OMB Circular A–
130, the following information is
provided:
1. Names of Participating Agencies
The Department of Education
(ED)(recipient agency) and the
Department of Justice (DOJ)(source
agency).
2. Purpose of the Match
This matching program is designed to
assist ED in enforcing the sanctions
imposed under section 5301 of the Anti-
Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 100–
690).
3. Authority for Conducting the
Matching Program
Under section 5301 of the Anti-Drug
Abuse Act of 1988, as amended (21
VerDate Jan<31>2003 19:33 May 12, 2003 Jkt 200001
U.S.C. 862), ED must deny Federal
benefits to any individual upon whom
a Federal or State court order has
imposed a penalty denying eligibility
for those benefits. Student financial
assistance under Title IV of the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended
(HEA) is a Federal benefit under section
5301 and ED must, in order to meet its
obligations under the HEA, have access
to information about individuals who
have been declared ineligible under
section 5301.
Section 5301 and the Procedures for
Implementation of section 5301 (Pub. L.
100–690), transmitted to the Congress
on August 30, 1989, direct DOJ to act as
an information clearinghouse for
Federal agencies. While DOJ provides
information about section 5301
individuals who are ineligible for
Federal benefits to the General Services
Administration (GSA) for inclusion in
GSA’s List of Parties Excluded from
Federal Procurements and
Nonprocurement Programs, DOJ and ED
have determined that matching against
the DOJ database is more efficient and
effective than access to the GSA List.
The DOJ database has specific
information about the Title IV, HEA
programs for which individuals are
ineligible as well as the expiration of the
debarment period, making the DOJ
database more complete than the GSA
List. Both of these elements are essential
for a successful match.
4. Categories of Records and
Individuals Covered by the Match
ED will submit for verification,
records from its Central Processing
System files (Federal Student Aid
Application File (18–11–01)), the social
security number (SSN) and other
identifying information for each
applicant for Title IV student financial
assistance. ED will use the SSN and the
first two letters of an applicant’s last
name for the match.
The DOJ Denial of Federal Benefits
Clearinghouse System (DEBAR)(OJP–
0013) contains the names, social
security numbers, dates of birth, and
other identifying information regarding
individuals convicted of Federal or
State offenses involving drug trafficking
or possession of a controlled substance
who have been denied Federal benefits
by Federal or State courts. This system
of records also contains information
concerning the specific program or
programs for which benefits have been
denied, as well as the duration of the
period of ineligibility. DOJ will make
available for the matching program the
records of only those individuals who
have been denied Federal benefits under
PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\13MYN1.SGM
one or more of the Title IV, HEA
programs.
5. Effective Dates of the Matching
Program
The matching program will become
effective on June 19, 2003; or 40 days
after a copy of the agreement, as
approved by the Data Integrity Board of
each agency, is sent to Congress and
OMB unless OMB objects to some or all
of the agreement; or 30 days after
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register, whichever date is last. 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.
