procedures will improve the
opportunities for an order to be exposed
to a competitive auction and represent
an improvement over the current rules.
The fact that the parties to such a trade
end up fully hedged may contribute to
the best execution of the orders and, in
any event, participants continue to be
governed by, among other things, their
best execution responsibilities. The
Exchange also believes that the
proposed tied hedge procedures are
fully consistent with the original design
of Rule 6.49 which, as discussed above,
was designed to eliminate the
unfairness that can be associated with a
solicited transaction and to encourage
meaningful competition. The tied hedge
procedures will keep in-crowd market
participants on equal footing with
solicited parties in a manner that
minimizes all parties’ market risk while
continuing to assure that orders are
exposed in a meaningful way.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act 23 in general, and furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade,
remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanisms of a free and open market
and a national market system and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest, as it will improve the
opportunities for an order to be exposed
to a competitive auction and represent
an improvement over the current rules
and will keep in-crowd market
participants on equal footing with
solicited parties in a manner that
minimizes all parties’ market risk while
continuing to assure that orders are
exposed in a meaningful way.

The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
A. General
The Computer Matching and Privacy
Protection Act (CMPPA) of 1988 (Public
Law (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:
(1) Negotiate written agreements with
other agency or agencies participating in
the matching programs;
(2) Obtain the approval of the
matching agreement by the Data
Integrity Boards 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

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.
Dated: December 1, 2009.
Michael G. Gallagher,
Deputy Commissioner for Budget, Finance
and Management.
NOTICE OF COMPUTER MATCHING
PROGRAM, SSA WITH DHS
A. PARTICIPATING AGENCIES:
SSA and DHS.
B. PURPOSE OF THE MATCHING PROGRAM:
The purpose of this matching program
is to establish conditions, safeguards,
and procedures for disclosure of
information relating to aliens for
matching purposes by DHS and us. DHS
will disclose two separate data files
through a computer matching operation
for our use in making Federal benefit
eligibility determinations for ‘‘Aliens
Who Leave the United States
Voluntarily’’ and ‘‘Aliens Who are
Removed from the United States.’’
C. AUTHORITY FOR CONDUCTING THE MATCHING
PROGRAM:
Legal authority for this matching
operation is the Social Security Act
(Act), 42 U.S.C. 402(n), 1382(f) and
1382c(a)(1), and the Immigration and
Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1611 and
1612. Section 1631(e)(1)(B) of the Act,
requires us to verify declarations of
applicants for and recipients of
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
payments before making a
determination of eligibility or payment
amount. Section 1631(f) of the Act
requires Federal agencies to provide us
with information necessary to verify SSI
eligibility or benefit amounts or to verify
other information related to these
determinations.
In addition, section 202(n)(2) of the
Act, specifies that the ‘‘Attorney General
or the Secretary of Homeland Security
notify the Commissioner of Social
Security’’ when certain individuals are
removed under specified provisions of
section 237(a) or under section
212(a)(6)(A) of the INA.
It is executed under the Privacy Act
of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, as amended by
the CMPPA of 1988, and the regulations
and guidance promulgated thereunder.

D. Categories of Records and
Individuals Covered by Matching
Program:
1. Aliens Who Leave the United States
Voluntarily:
The DHS identifies for us, aliens who
leave the United States voluntarily by
their Benefits Information System (BIS),
DHS/USCIS–007. Our systems of
records used in this portion of the
matching program are the Master Files
of Social Security Number (SSN)
Holders and SSN Applications, also
known as the NUMIDENT, SSA/OEEAS
60–0058 and the Supplemental Security
Income Record and Special Veterans
Benefits (SSIR/SVB), also known as the
SSR, SSA/OASSIS 60–0103.
BIS furnishes the alien’s name, SSN,
date of birth (DOB), alien identification
number, (‘‘A’’ number), date of
departure, and expected length of stay.
To verify the SSN, BIS data will be
matched against the names, DOB, and
SSNs of our Numident and Alpha Index
files. Verified SSNs will be stored and
matched against the same elements in
SSA’s SSR files.
2. Aliens Who Are Removed From the
United States:
DHS identifies for us, aliens who are
removed from the United States from
their Removable Alien Records System
(RARS) (DHS/ICE–011). Immigration
and Customs Enforcement now
maintains information on removed
aliens in the Enforcement Integrated
Database (EID). Our systems of records
used in this portion of the matching
program are the NUMIDENT, SSA/
OEEAS 60–0058, the Master Beneficiary
Record (MBR), SSA/OEEAS 60–0090,
and the SSR, SSA/OASSIS 60–0103.
The Unverified Prisoner System (UPS)
is now used to do a manual search of
fallout cases where the Enumeration
and Verification System is unable to
locate an SSN for an alien deportee.
New alien screens and software were
created for those deported from the
United States and made part of the UPS
process. No changes were made to the
function of the system.
RARS, EID furnishes the names and
aliases (if any) of those removed, SSN (if
available), DOB, sex, country of birth,
country to which removed, date of
removal, the final removal charge code
and DHS ‘‘A’’ number. To verify the
SSN, RARS data will be matched against
SSA’s Numident and Alpha-Index files
(SSA/OEEAS 60–0058). Verified SSNs
are matched against the existing MBR
and SSR records to locate those
removed (and their dependents or
survivors, if any) who have already

claimed and are currently receiving
RSDI and/or SSI benefits.
E. Inclusive Dates of the Matching
Program:
The matching program will become
effective no sooner than 40 days after
notice of thematching program is sent to
Congress and OMB, or 30 days after
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register, whichever date is later. The
matching program will continue for 18
months from the effective date and may
be extended for an additional 12 months
thereafter, if certain conditions are met.

eligible costs under the Nonurbanized
Area Formula Program (Section 5311).
The ARRA TTP funding may be used
only for capital expenditures.
Awards: A total of $17 million was
made available for the TTP program
under ARRA. A total of 71 applicants
requested $54 million for capital
projects. FTA made project selections
through a competitive process based on
each applicant’s responsiveness to the
program evaluation criteria outlined in
FTA’s March 23, 2009 Federal Register
Notice. A total of 39 of the highest rated
projects have been selected for funding.
The 39 successful applicants are listed
in Table 1 of this Notice.
A total of $15 million was made
available for FY 2009 Tribal Transit

requested $28 million for new transit
services, enhancement or expansion of
existing transit services, and planning
studies including operational planning.
FTA made project selections through a
competitive process based on each
applicant’s responsiveness to the
program evaluation criteria outlined in
FTA’s April 29, 2009, Federal Register
Notice. FTA also took into consideration
the current status of previously funded
TTP grantees. Because of the high
demand, many applicants selected for
funding will receive less funding than
they requested, which enables FTA to
support an increased number of
meritorious applications. A total of 63
applications have been selected for
funding. The projects provide $15
million to 61 tribes, for transit planning
studies and/or operational planning
($250,000); startup projects for new
transit service ($1.5 million); and for
enhancements or expansion of existing
transit services ($13.25 million).

ARRA funds must also abide by the
special reporting requirements under
ARRA which includes:
Section 1511: Certifications.
Section 1512: Reports on Use of Funds.
Section 1512(h): Registration.
Section 1201(c)(2): Periodic Reports.
Each of the 102 awardees, as well as
the applicants not selected for funding,
will receive a letter explaining the
funding decision. Following publication
of this Notice, an FTA regional tribal
liaison will contact each applicant
selected for funding to discuss each

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. General
The Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act (CMPPA) of 1988
(Public Law (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:
(1) Negotiate written agreements with other agency or agencies
participating in the matching programs;
(2) Obtain the approval of the matching agreement by the Data
Integrity Boards 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.
Dated: December 1, 2009.
Michael G. Gallagher,
Deputy Commissioner for Budget, Finance and Management.
NOTICE OF COMPUTER MATCHING PROGRAM, SSA WITH DHS
A. Participating Agencies:
SSA and DHS.
B. PURPOSE OF THE MATCHING PROGRAM:
The purpose of this matching program is to establish conditions,
safeguards, and procedures for disclosure of information relating to
aliens for matching purposes by DHS and us. DHS will disclose two
separate data files through a computer matching operation for our use
in making Federal benefit eligibility determinations for ``Aliens Who
Leave the United States Voluntarily'' and ``Aliens Who are Removed from
the United States.''
C. AUTHORITY FOR CONDUCTING THE MATCHING PROGRAM:
Legal authority for this matching operation is the Social Security
Act (Act), 42 U.S.C. 402(n), 1382(f) and 1382c(a)(1), and the
Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1611 and 1612. Section
1631(e)(1)(B) of the Act, requires us to verify declarations of
applicants for and recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
payments before making a determination of eligibility or payment
amount. Section 1631(f) of the Act requires Federal agencies to provide
us with information necessary to verify SSI eligibility or benefit
amounts or to verify other information related to these determinations.
In addition, section 202(n)(2) of the Act, specifies that the
``Attorney General or the Secretary of Homeland Security notify the
Commissioner of Social Security'' when certain individuals are removed
under specified provisions of section 237(a) or under section
212(a)(6)(A) of the INA.
It is executed under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, as
amended by the CMPPA of 1988, and the regulations and guidance
promulgated thereunder.
D. Categories of Records and Individuals Covered by Matching Program:
1. Aliens Who Leave the United States Voluntarily:
The DHS identifies for us, aliens who leave the United States
voluntarily by their Benefits Information System (BIS), DHS/USCIS-007.
Our systems of records used in this portion of the matching program are
the Master Files of Social Security Number (SSN) Holders and SSN
Applications, also known as the NUMIDENT, SSA/OEEAS 60-0058 and the
Supplemental Security Income Record and Special Veterans Benefits
(SSIR/SVB), also known as the SSR, SSA/OASSIS 60-0103.
BIS furnishes the alien's name, SSN, date of birth (DOB), alien
identification number, (``A'' number), date of departure, and expected
length of stay. To verify the SSN, BIS data will be matched against the
names, DOB, and SSNs of our Numident and Alpha Index files. Verified
SSNs will be stored and matched against the same elements in SSA's SSR
files.
2. Aliens Who Are Removed From the United States:
DHS identifies for us, aliens who are removed from the United
States from their Removable Alien Records System (RARS) (DHS/ICE-011).
Immigration and Customs Enforcement now maintains information on
removed aliens in the Enforcement Integrated Database (EID). Our
systems of records used in this portion of the matching program are the
NUMIDENT, SSA/OEEAS 60-0058, the Master Beneficiary Record (MBR), SSA/
OEEAS 60-0090, and the SSR, SSA/OASSIS 60-0103. The Unverified Prisoner
System (UPS) is now used to do a manual search of fallout cases where
the Enumeration and Verification System is unable to locate an SSN for
an alien deportee. New alien screens and software were created for
those deported from the United States and made part of the UPS process.
No changes were made to the function of the system.
RARS, EID furnishes the names and aliases (if any) of those
removed, SSN (if available), DOB, sex, country of birth, country to
which removed, date of removal, the final removal charge code and DHS
``A'' number. To verify the SSN, RARS data will be matched against
SSA's Numident and Alpha-Index files (SSA/OEEAS 60-0058). Verified SSNs
are matched against the existing MBR and SSR records to locate those
removed (and their dependents or survivors, if any) who have already
[[Page 67302]]
claimed and are currently receiving RSDI and/or SSI benefits.
E. Inclusive Dates of the Matching Program:
The matching program will become effective no sooner than 40 days
after notice of thematching program is sent to Congress and OMB, or 30
days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register,
whichever date is later. The matching program will continue for 18
months from the effective date and may be extended for an additional 12
months thereafter, if certain conditions are met.
