5. Harmonization—Organizations
such as the International Maritime
Organization (IMO) have undertaken
comprehensive efforts concerning safety

harmonize the credentialing statutes
with these efforts and improve our
ability to implement both ongoing and
future standards.

computer matching program with the
USDA to utilize a computer information
system of HUD, the Credit Alert
Interactive Voice Response System
(CAIVRS), with USDA’s debtor files. In
addition to HUD’s data, the CAIVRS
database includes delinquent debt
information from the Departments of
Education, Veterans Affairs, Justice and
the Small Business Administration. This
match will allow prescreening of
applicants for debts owed or loans
guaranteed by the Federal government
to ascertain if the applicant is
delinquent in paying a debt owed to or
insured by the Federal government for
HUD or USDA direct or guaranteed
loans.
Before granting a loan, the lending
agency and/or the authorized lending
institution will be able to interrogate the
CAIVRS debtor file which contains the
Social Security Numbers (SSNs) of
HUD’s delinquent debtors and
defaulters and defaulted debtor records
of the USDA and verify that the loan
applicant is not in default or delinquent
on direct or guaranteed loans of
participating Federal programs of either
agency. As a result of the information
produced by this match, the authorized
users may not deny, terminate, or make
a final decision of any loan assistance to
an applicant or take other adverse action
against such applicant, until an officer
or employee of such agency has
independently verified such
information.
DATES: Effective Date: Computer
matching is expected to begin on June
20, 2005, unless comments are received
which will result in a contrary
determination, or 40 days from the date
a computer matching agreement is
signed, whichever is later.
Comments Due Date: June 20, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit comments regarding
this notice to the Rules Docket Clerk,
Office of General Counsel, Room 10276,

Privacy Protection Act of 1988,’’ as
amended, and Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Circular A–129
(Revised January 1993), Policies for
Federal Credit Programs and Non-Tax
Receivables. One of the purposes of all
Executive departments and agencies—
including HUD—is to implement
efficient management practices for
Federal credit programs. OMB Circular
A–129 was issued under the authority of
the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921,
as amended; the Budget and Accounting
Act of 1950, as amended; the Debt
Collection Act of 1982, as amended;
and, the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984,
as amended.
Objectives To Be Met By The
Matching Program: The matching
program will allow USDA access to a
system which permits prescreening of
applicants for loans owed or guaranteed
by the federal government to ascertain if
the applicant is delinquent in paying a
debt owed to or insured by the
Government. In addition, HUD will be
provided access to USDA debtor data for
prescreening purposes.
Records To Be Matched: HUD will
utilize its system of records entitled
HUD/DEPT–2,
Accounting Records. The debtor files
for HUD programs involved are
included in this system of records.
HUD’s debtor files contain information
on borrowers and co-borrowers who are
currently in default) at least 90 days

provide HUD with debtor files
contained in its system of records
entitled, Applicant/Borrower or Grantee
File (USDA/FmHA–1). HUD is
maintaining USDA’s records only as a
ministerial action on behalf of USDA,
not as a part of HUD’s HUD/DEPT–2
system of records. USDA’s data contain
information on individuals who have
defaulted on their guaranteed loans. The
USDA will retain ownership and
responsibility for their system of records
that they place with HUD. HUD serves
only as a record location and routine
use recipient for USDA’s data.
Notice Procedures: HUD and the
USDA will notify individuals at the
time of application (ensuring that
routine use appears on the application
form) for guaranteed or direct loans that
their records will be matched to
determine whether they are delinquent
or in default on a federal debt. HUD and
the USDA will also publish notices
concerning routine use disclosures in
the Federal Register to inform
individuals that a computer match may
be performed to determine a loan
applicant’s credit status with the federal
government.
Categories of Records/Individuals
Involved: The debtor records include
these data elements: SSN, claim
number, program code, and indication
of indebtedness. Categories of records
include: Records of claims and defaults,

The OMB
regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, which
implement provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C 3501
et seq.), require that interested members
of the public and affected agencies have
an opportunity to comment on
information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8(d)). We will ask OMB to renew
approval of the collection of information
for the NAWCA grants programs. The
current OMB control number for this
collection of information is 1018–0100,
which expires on August 31, 2005. We
will request a 3-year term of approval
for this information collection activity.
Federal agencies may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
The North American Waterfowl
Management Plan (NAWMP), first
signed in 1986, is a tripartite agreement
among Canada, Mexico, and the United
States to enhance, restore, and
otherwise protect continental wetlands
to benefit waterfowl and other wetlandsassociated wildlife through partnerships
between and among the private and
public sectors. Because the 1986
NAWMP did not carry with it a
mechanism to provide for broadly based
and sustained financial support for
wetland conservation activities,
Congress passed and the President
signed into law the NAWCA. The
purpose of NAWCA, as amended, is to
promote, through partnerships, longterm conservation of North American
wetland ecosystems and the waterfowl
and other migratory birds, fish, and
wildlife that depend upon such habitat.
Principal conservation actions
supported by NAWCA are acquisition,
enhancement, and restoration of
wetlands and wetlands-associated
habitat.
In addition to providing for a
continuing and stable funding base,
NAWCA establishes an administrative
body, the North American Wetlands
Conservation Council, made up of a
State representative from each of the
four flyways, three representatives from
wetlands conservation organizations,
the Secretary of the Board of the
National Fish and Wildlife Foundation,
and the Director of the Service. This
Council is exempt from the
requirements of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act. The Council
recommends funding of select wetlands
conservation project proposals to the
Migratory Bird Conservation
Commission (MBCC). Competing for
grant funds involves applications from
partnerships that describe in substantial
