SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Programs (54 FR 25818; June 19, 1989);
and OMB Bulletin 89–22, ‘‘Instructions
on Reporting Computer Matching
Programs to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB), Congress and the
Public,’’ HUD is issuing a public notice
of its intent to conduct a recurring
computer matching program with the
VA to utilize a computer information
system of HUD, the Credit Alert
Interactive Verification and Reporting
System (CAIVRS), with VA’s debtor
files. This match will allow
prescreening of applicants for loans
issued by or 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 VA 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 and verify that the
loan applicant is not in default on a
Federal judgment or delinquent on
direct or guaranteed loans of
participating Federal agencies. The
CAIVRS database contains delinquent
debt information from the Departments
of Agriculture, Education, Veteran
Affairs, the Small Business
Administration, and judgment lien data
from the Department of Justice.
Authorized users do a prescreening of
CAIVRS to determine a loan applicant’s
credit status with the Federal
government. As a result of the
information produced by this match, the
authorized users may not deny,
terminate, or make a final decision on
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
November 25, 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: November 25,
2005.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit comments regarding
this notice to the Rules Docket Clerk,

REPORTING:
In accordance with Public Law 100–
503, the Computer Matching and
Privacy Protection Act of 1988, as
amended, and OMB Bulletin 89–22,
‘‘Instructions on Reporting Computer
Matching Programs to the Office of

notice and report are being provided to
the Committee on Government Reform
of the House of Representatives, the
Committee on Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs of the Senate, and
OMB.
Authority: HUD has authority to collect
and review mortgage data pursuant to the
National Housing Act, as amended, 12 U.S.C.
1701 et seq., and related laws. The VA is
authorized, pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 3710, to
determine that any veteran who obtains a
VA-guaranteed home loan poses a
satisfactory credit risk. This computer
matching will be conducted pursuant to
Public Law 100–503, ‘‘The Computer
Matching and Privacy Protection Act of
1988,’’ as amended, and OMB Circulars A–
129 (Managing Federal Credit Programs) and
A–70 (Policies and Guidelines for Federal
Credit Programs). OMB Circulars A–129 and
A–70 were issued under the authority of the
Budget and Accounting Act of 1921, as
amended; the Budget and Accounting Act of

Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996
(Pub. L. 104–134, section 31001); and the
Deficit Reduction Act of 1984, as amended.
OBJECTIVES TO BE MET BY THE MATCHING
PROGRAM:
The matching program will allow VA
access to a system that permits
prescreening of applicants for loans
issued or loans guaranteed by the
Federal government to ascertain if the
E:\FR\FM\25OCN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 205 / Tuesday, October 25, 2005 / Notices
applicant is delinquent in paying a debt
owed to or insured by the Government.
In addition, HUD will be provided
access to VA’s 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 delinquent on
their loans); or who have any
outstanding claims paid during the last
three years on insured or guaranteed
home mortgage loans under Title II of
the National Housing Act; or
individuals who have defaulted on
rehabilitation loans under Section 312
of the Housing Act of 1964; or
individuals who have had a claim paid
in the last three years on a loan under
Title I of the National Housing Act. For
the CAIVRS match, HUD/DEPT–2,
System of Records, receives its program
inputs from HUD/DEPT–28, Property
Improvement and Manufactured
(Mobile) Home Loans—Default; HUD/
DEPT–32, Delinquent/Default/Assigned
Temporary Mortgage Assistance
Payments (TMAP) Program; and HUD/
CPD–1, Rehabilitation LoansDelinquent/Default.
The VA will provide HUD with debtor
files contained in its system of records
entitled SS–VA26, Loan Guaranty
Systems of Records. Central Accounts
Receivable On Line System is a
subsidiary of SS–VA26. HUD is
maintaining VA’s records only as a
ministerial action on behalf of VA, not
as a part of HUD’s HUD/DEPT–2 system
of records. VA’s data contain
information on individuals who have
defaulted on their guaranteed loans. The
VA will retain ownership and
responsibility for their systems of
records that they place with HUD. HUD
serves only as a record location and
routine use recipient for VA’s data.
NOTICE PROCEDURES:
HUD and the VA 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 VA 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.
