Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 49 / Monday, March 15, 2010 / Notices
hereby given of the computer matching
program between the Department of
Education (ED) (the recipient agency),
and the Department of Homeland
Security, United States Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS) (the
source agency).
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended by the
Computer Matching and Privacy
Protection Act of 1988, and OMB
Circular A–130, the following
information is provided:
1. Names of Participating Agencies.
The U.S. Department of Education
and the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security, USCIS.
2. Purpose of the Match.
The matching program entitled
‘‘Verification Division USCIS/ED’’ will
permit ED to confirm the immigration
status of alien applicants for, or
recipients of, financial assistance under
Title IV of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended (HEA), as authorized
by section 484(g) of the HEA (20 U.S.C.
1091(g)). The Title IV programs include:
the Federal Pell Grant Program; the
Academic Competitiveness Grant
Program; the National Science and
Mathematics Access to Retain Talent
Grant Program; the Iraq and Afghanistan
Service Grant Program; the Federal
Perkins Loan Program; the Federal
Work-Study Program; the Federal
Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grant Program; the Federal Family
Education Loan Program; the William D.
Ford Federal Direct Loan Program; the
Leveraging Educational Assistance
Partnership Program; and the Gaining
Early Awareness and Readiness for
Undergraduate Programs.
3. Authority for Conducting the
Matching Program.
The information contained in the
USCIS data base is referred to as the
Verification Information System (VIS),
and is authorized under the Immigration
Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA),
Public Law 99–603. ED seeks access to
the VIS database for the purpose of
confirming the immigration status of
applicants for assistance, as authorized
by section 484(g) of the HEA, 20 U.S.C.
1091(g), and consistent with the Title IV
student eligibility requirements of
section 484(a)(5) of the HEA, 20 U.S.C.
1091(a)(5). USCIS is authorized to
participate in this immigration status
verification under section 103 of the
Immigration and Nationality Act, as
amended, 8 U.S.C. 1103.
4. 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:
Through the use of user identification

codes and passwords, authorized
persons from ED will transmit
electronically data from its Privacy Act
system of records entitled, ‘‘Federal
Student Aid Application File (18–11–
01)’’ to USCIS. The data will include the
alien registration number, the first and
last name, date of birth, current social
security number and gender of the alien
applicant for, or recipient of, Title IV
assistance. This action will initiate a
search for corresponding data elements
in a USCIS Privacy Act system of
records entitled ‘‘Verification
Information System Records Notice
(DHS–2007–0010).’’ Where there is a
match of records, the system will add
the following data to the record and
return the file to ED: the primary or
secondary verification number, the date
of entry into the U.S., the country of
birth, and the USCIS status code of the
alien applicant or recipient, and a code
indicating that the alien applicant or
recipient was confirmed to be an
eligible non-citizen or that this
determination could not be made. In
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(p), ED
will not suspend, terminate, reduce, or
make a final denial of any Title IV
assistance to such individual, or take
other adverse action against such
individual, as a result of information
produced by such a match, until (1)(a)
ED has independently verified the
information; or (b) the Data Integrity
Board of ED determines in accordance
with guidance issued by the Director of
the OMB that (i) the information is
limited to identification and amount of
benefits paid by ED under a Federal
benefit program; and (ii) there is a high
degree of confidence that the
information provided to ED is accurate;
(2) the individual receives a notice from
ED containing a statement of its findings
and informing the individual of the
opportunity to contest such findings by
submitting documentation
demonstrating a satisfactory
immigration status within 30 days of
receipt of the notice; and (3) 30 days
from the date of the individual’s receipt
of such notice has expired.
5. Effective Dates of the Matching
Program.
The matching program will become
effective 40 days after a copy of the
computer matching agreement, as
approved by the Data Integrity Board of
each agency, is transmitted to Congress
and OMB, unless the requested ten day
waiver is approved by OMB or unless
OMB objects to some or all of the
agreement, or 30 days after publication
of this notice in the Federal Register,
whichever date is later. The matching
program will continue for 18 months
after the effective date and may be
