An environmental assessment (EA)
was prepared analyzing the effects of
the permitted activities on the human
environment in compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of

that preparation of an environmental
impact statement was not required. That
determination is documented in a
Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI), signed on November 8, 2011.
As required by the ESA, issuance of
this permit was based on a finding that
such permit: (1) Was applied for in good
faith; (2) will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered
species; and (3) is consistent with the
purposes and policies set forth in
section 2 of the ESA.

PURPOSE(S):
The purpose of the system of records
is to provide a single central facility
within the Department of Defense to
assess manpower trends, support
personnel and readiness functions, to
perform longitudinal statistical
analyses, identify current and former
DoD civilian and Armed Forces
personnel for purposes of detecting
fraud and abuse of pay and benefit
programs, to register current and former
DoD civilian and Armed Forces
personnel and their authorized
dependents for purposes of obtaining
medical examination, treatment or other
benefits to which they are qualified.
To collect debts owed to the United
States Government and state and local

officials and employees, or authorized
contractors, and other DoD Components
in the preparation of studies and policy
as related to the health and well-being
of current and past Armed Forces and
DoD-affiliated personnel; to respond to
Congressional and Executive branch
inquiries; and to provide data or
documentation relevant to the testing or

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE
SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND
THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
In addition to those disclosures
generally permitted under 5 U.S.C.
552a(b) of the Privacy Act of 1974, these
records may specifically be disclosed
outside the DoD as a routine use
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as
follows:
1. To the Department of Veterans
Affairs (DVA):
a. To provide Uniformed Service
personnel and pay data for present and
former Uniformed Service personnel for
the purpose of evaluating use of
veterans’ benefits, validating benefit
eligibility and maintaining the health
and well being of veterans and their
family members.
b. To provide identifying Armed
Service personnel data to the DVA and
its insurance program contractor for the
purpose of notifying separating eligible
Reservists of their right to apply for
Veteran’s Group Life Insurance coverage
under the Veterans Benefits
Improvement Act of 1996 (38 U.S.C.
1968).
c. To register eligible veterans and
their dependents for DVA programs.
d. Providing identification of former
Uniformed Service personnel and
survivor’s financial benefit data to DVA
for the purpose of identifying military
retired pay and survivor benefit
payments for use in the administration
of the DVA’s Compensation and Pension
program (38 U.S.C. 5106). The
information is to be used to process all
DVA award actions more efficiently,
reduce subsequent overpayment
collection actions, and minimize
erroneous payments.
e. To conduct computer matching
programs regulated by the Privacy Act
of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a), for
the purpose of:
(1) Providing full identification of
active duty Uniformed Service
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
personnel, including full time National
Guard/Reserve support personnel, for
use in the administration of DVA’s
Compensation and Pension benefit
program. The information is used to
determine continued eligibility for DVA
disability compensation to recipients
who have returned to active duty so that
benefits can be adjusted or terminated
as required and steps taken by DVA to
collect any resulting over payment (38
U.S.C. 5304(c)).
(2) Providing identification of reserve
duty, including full time support
National Guard/Reserve Armed Forces
personnel, to the DVA, for the purpose
of deducting reserve time served from
any DVA disability compensation paid
or waiver of VA benefit. The law (10
U.S.C. 12316) prohibits receipt of
reserve pay and DVA compensation for
the same time period, however, it does
permit waiver of DVA compensation to
draw reserve pay.
f. To provide identifying Uniformed
Service personnel data to the DVA for
the purpose of notifying such personnel
of information relating to educational
assistance as required by the Veterans
Programs Enhancement Act of 1998 (38
U.S.C. 3011 and 3034).

and 5 U.S.C. 1302, 2951, 3301, 3372,
4118, 8347).
b. To conduct computer matching
programs regulated by the Privacy Act
of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a) for
the purpose of:
(1) Exchanging civil service and
Reserve personnel data to identify those
individuals of the Reserve forces who
are employed by the Federal
government in a civilian position. The
purpose of the match is to identify those
particular individuals occupying critical
positions as civilians and cannot be
released for extended active duty in the
event of mobilization. Employing
Federal agencies are informed of the
reserve status of those affected
personnel so that a choice of
terminating the position or the reserve
assignment can be made by the
individual concerned. The authority for
conducting the computer match is
contained in E.O. 11190, Providing for
the Screening of the Ready Reserve of
the Armed Forces.

1. To the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA):
a. To provide Uniformed Service personnel and pay data for present
and former Uniformed Service personnel for the purpose of evaluating
use of veterans' benefits, validating benefit eligibility and
maintaining the health and well being of veterans and their family
members.

and
[[Page 72393]]
its insurance program contractor for the purpose of notifying
separating eligible Reservists of their right to apply for Veteran's
Group Life Insurance coverage under the Veterans Benefits Improvement
Act of 1996 (38 U.S.C. 1968).
c. To register eligible veterans and their dependents for DVA

U.S.C. 5106). The information is to be used to process all DVA award
actions more efficiently, reduce subsequent overpayment collection
actions, and minimize erroneous payments.
e. To conduct computer matching programs regulated by the Privacy
Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a), for the purpose of:
(1) Providing full identification of active duty Uniformed Service

as required and steps taken by DVA to collect any resulting over
payment (38 U.S.C. 5304(c)).
(2) Providing identification of reserve duty, including full time
support National Guard/Reserve Armed Forces personnel, to the DVA, for
the purpose of deducting reserve time served from any DVA disability
compensation paid or waiver of VA benefit. The law (10 U.S.C. 12316)

those individuals of the Reserve forces who are employed by the Federal
government in a civilian position. The purpose of the match is to
identify those particular individuals occupying critical positions as
civilians and cannot be released for extended active duty in the event
of mobilization. Employing Federal agencies are informed of the reserve
status of those affected personnel so that a choice of terminating the
position or the reserve assignment can be made by the individual
concerned. The authority for conducting the computer match is contained
in E.O. 11190, Providing for the Screening of the Ready Reserve of the
Armed Forces.
c. Matching for administrative purposes to include updated employer
addresses of Federal civil service employees who are reservists and
demographic data on civil service employees who are reservists.

and for conducting computer matching as authorized by E.O. 12953 to
facilitate the enforcement of child support owed by delinquent obligors
within the entire civilian Federal government and the Uniformed
Services (active and retired). Identifying delinquent obligors will
allow State Child Support Enforcement agencies to commence wage
withholding or other enforcement actions against the obligors.
Note 1: Information requested by DHHS is not disclosed when it
would contravene U.S. national policy or security interests (42
U.S.C. 653(e)).
Note 2: Quarterly wage information is not disclosed for those
individuals performing intelligence or counter intelligence
functions and a determination is made that disclosure could endanger

Purpose(s):
The purpose of the system of records is to provide a single central
facility within the Department of Defense to assess manpower trends,
support personnel and readiness functions, to perform longitudinal
statistical analyses, identify current and former DoD civilian and
Armed Forces personnel for purposes of detecting fraud and abuse of pay
and benefit programs, to register current and former DoD civilian and

they are qualified.
To collect debts owed to the United States Government and state and
local governments.
Information will be used by agency officials and employees, or
authorized contractors, and other DoD Components in the preparation of
studies and policy as related to the health and well-being of current
and past Armed Forces and DoD-affiliated personnel; to respond to
Congressional and Executive branch inquiries; and to provide data or
documentation relevant to the testing or exposure of individuals.
Armed Forces drug test records will be maintained and used to
conduct longitudinal, statistical, and analytical studies and computing
demographic reports. No personal identifiers will be included in the
demographic data reports. All requests for Service specific drug
testing demographic data will be approved by the Service designated
drug testing program office. All requests for DoD wide drug testing
demographic data will be approved by the DoD Coordinator for Drug

official purposes.
Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories
of users and the purposes of such uses:
In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C.
552a(b) of the Privacy Act of 1974, these records may specifically be
disclosed outside the DoD as a routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552a(b)(3) as follows:
1. To the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA):
a. To provide Uniformed Service personnel and pay data for present
and former Uniformed Service personnel for the purpose of evaluating
use of veterans' benefits, validating benefit eligibility and
maintaining the health and well being of veterans and their family
members.
b. To provide identifying Armed Service personnel data to the DVA
and its insurance program contractor for the purpose of notifying
separating eligible Reservists of their right to apply for Veteran's
Group Life Insurance coverage under the Veterans Benefits Improvement
Act of 1996 (38 U.S.C. 1968).
c. To register eligible veterans and their dependents for DVA
programs.
d. Providing identification of former Uniformed Service personnel
and survivor's financial benefit data to DVA for the purpose of
identifying military retired pay and survivor benefit payments for use

U.S.C. 5106). The information is to be used to process all DVA award
actions more efficiently, reduce subsequent overpayment collection
actions, and minimize erroneous payments.
e. To conduct computer matching programs regulated by the Privacy
Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a), for the purpose of:
(1) Providing full identification of active duty Uniformed Service
personnel, including full time National Guard/Reserve support
personnel, for use in the administration of DVA's Compensation and
Pension benefit program. The information is used to determine continued
eligibility for DVA disability compensation to recipients who have
returned to active duty so that benefits can be adjusted or terminated
as required and steps taken by DVA to collect any resulting over
payment (38 U.S.C. 5304(c)).
(2) Providing identification of reserve duty, including full time
support National Guard/Reserve Armed Forces personnel, to the DVA, for
the purpose of deducting reserve time served from any DVA disability
compensation paid or waiver of VA benefit. The law (10 U.S.C. 12316)
prohibits receipt of reserve pay and DVA compensation for the same time
period, however, it does permit waiver of DVA compensation to draw
reserve pay.
f. To provide identifying Uniformed Service personnel data to the

those individuals of the Reserve forces who are employed by the Federal
government in a civilian position. The purpose of the match is to
identify those particular individuals occupying critical positions as
civilians and cannot be released for extended active duty in the event
of mobilization. Employing Federal agencies are informed of the reserve
status of those affected personnel so that a choice of terminating the
position or the reserve assignment can be made by the individual
concerned. The authority for conducting the computer match is contained
in E.O. 11190, Providing for the Screening of the Ready Reserve of the
Armed Forces.
