SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Computer Matching and Privacy Protection 
Act of 1988, Public Law 100-503, requires a Federal agency 
participating in a computer matching program to publish a notice 
regarding the establishment of a matching program.
    Name of Participating Agencies: Office of Personnel Management and 
Railroad Retirement Board.
    Purpose of the Match: 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. Previously the RRB relied on the affected annuitant to 
report adjustments in the amounts of such public pension benefits.
    Authority for Conducting the Match: Sections 3(a)(1), 4(a)(1) and 
4(f)(1) of the Railroad Retirement Act 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. This reduction is referred to as Public Service Pension 
offset. Section 224 of the Social Security Act provides for the 
reduction of disability benefits when the disabled worker is also 
entitled to a public disability benefit (PDB). This reduction is 
referred to as PDB offset. A civil service disability benefit is 
considered a PDB. Section 224(h)(1) requires any 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.
    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 RRB twice a year with a magnetic 
tape file 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. The following information from 
this OPM Privacy Act System of Records will be transmitted to RRB for 
the approximately 2.5 million records in the system: 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 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 the 
same fields in its Master Benefit Files. The Privacy Act System of 
Records designations for these files is: RRB-26, ``Payment, Rate and 
Entitlement History File,'' as amended in 63 FR 28420 May 22, 1998. For 
records that are matched, the RRB will extract the civil service 
payment information.
    Inclusive Dates of the Matching Program: The 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

later. The matching program will continue for 18 months after the 
effective date and may be extended for an additional 12 months, if the
