Effective Dates of the Matching Program U.S.C. 1306(a)) and the regulations promulgated pursuant to that section (20 CFR part 401). 4. Categories of Records and Individuals Covered by the Match The Federal Student Aid Application File (18–11–01), which contains the information to determine an applicant’s eligibility for Federal student financial assistance, and the ED PIN Registration System of Records (18–11–12), which contains the applicant’s information to receive an ED PIN, will be matched against SSA’s Master Files of Social Security Number Holders and SSN Applications System, SSA/OS, 60–0058, which maintains records about each individual who has applied for and obtained an SSN. pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES 5. Privacy Impact Assessment Section 208 of the E-Government Act of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501 note) requires ED to conduct the following privacy impact assessment of this information collection: The information collected by ED under the computer matching agreement is the verification of SSNs by SSA and citizenship status as recorded in SSA records, for the purpose of assisting ED to satisfy its obligation to ensure that an individual applying for financial assistance meets the requirements imposed under the HEA. This verification is mandated by the HEA. The information obtained from SSA by ED will only be used as provided for under Section X of the computer matching agreement. Notice that ED verifies an individual’s SSN through a computer matching agreement with agencies such as SSA is provided to individuals in the Privacy and Security section of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and in Federal student loan program forms; submission of a FAFSA and participation in the Federal student loan programs are voluntary. The information obtained from SSA under the computer matching agreement will be secured pursuant to the procedures described in Section IX of the computer matching agreement. No new system of records is being created for this collection because, as noted in the computer matching agreement, routine uses permitting the disclosure of records to allow for the verification of SSNs are already included in the Systems of Records Notices for Federal student aid programs. Thus, this collection comports with applicable Privacy Act standards and section 208. VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:25 Aug 07, 2008 Jkt 214001 Access at: www.gpoaccess.gov/nara/ index.html. This matching program must be approved by the Data Integrity Board of each agency. The computer matching agreement will become effective on: (1) October 10, 2008; (2) 40 days after the approved agreement and report on the matching program are sent to Congress and OMB (or later if OMB objects to some or all of the agreement) unless OMB waives 10 days of this 40-day period for compelling reasons shown, in which case 30 days after transmission of the report to Congress and OMB; or (3) 30 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register, whichever date is latest. 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.
