as a result of a change in accounting
standards?
• Are there any particular asset sale
statutes from any particular
jurisdictions the application of which is
especially likely to be affected by
incorporating IFRS into the financial
reporting system for U.S. issuers? Which
statutes, and why?
• To the extent that incorporating
IFRS into the financial reporting system
for U.S. issuers would affect the
application of statutes governing sales of
assets, how would the jurisdictions
affected (or issuers in such jurisdictions)
most likely address such effects?
• To what extent would any potential
effects of incorporating IFRS into the
financial reporting system for U.S.
issuers on the application of statutes
governing sales of assets be avoided or
minimized by State law permitting the
board of directors to rely on reasonable
valuation methods, rather than financial
statements, in determining whether a
shareholder vote is required to approve
a sale of assets? 16
• To what extent are any potential
effects of incorporating IFRS into the
financial reporting system for U.S.
issuers on the application of statutes
governing sales of assets likely to be
mitigated or otherwise affected by
providing for a transition or phase-in
period for compliance with the
incorporation of IFRS into the financial
reporting system for U.S. issuers? What
length of a transition or phase-in period
would be necessary to reasonably
mitigate the effects? Are there any other
means by which such effects can be
mitigated or avoided?
• Are there any other State statutes
the application of which is likely to be
affected by incorporating IFRS into the
financial reporting system for U.S.
issuers? 17 To what extent and in what
ways, and why?
Persons submitting comments on any
of these questions are invited to
consider and comment on whether the
manner in which IFRS incorporation is
implemented would affect the responses
to the questions above.
All interested parties are invited to
submit their views, in writing, on these
questions.
Dated: August 12, 2010.
By the Commission.

Secretary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. General
The Computer Matching and Privacy
Protection Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 100–
503), amended the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C.
552a) by describing the conditions
under which computer matching
involving the Federal government could
be performed and adding certain
protections for persons applying for,
and receiving, Federal benefits. Section
7201 of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–
508) further amended the Privacy Act
regarding protections for such persons.
The Privacy Act, as amended,
regulates the use of computer matching
by Federal agencies when records in a
system of records are matched with
other Federal, State, or local government
records. It requires Federal agencies
involved in computer matching
programs to:
PO 00000
Frm 00172
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(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.
B. SSA Computer Matches Subject to
the Privacy Act
We have taken action to ensure that
all of our computer matching programs
comply with the requirements of the
Privacy Act, as amended.
