the Common Origination and

Abstract: The Federal Pell Grant,
ACG, and National SMART Programs
are student financial assistance
programs, authorized under the Higher
Education Act of 1965 (HEA), as
amended, which provide grant
assistance to an eligible student
attending an institution of higher
education. The institution determines
the student’s award and disburses
program funds to the student on behalf
of the U.S. Department of Education
(ED). To account for the funds
disbursed, institutions report student
payment information to ED
electronically. Electronic reporting is
conducted through the Common
Origination and Disbursement (COD)
system. The COD system is used by
institutions to request, report, and
reconcile grant funds received from the
Pell Grant program.

SUMMARY:

Jkt 226001
1965, as amended (HEA) (20 U.S.C.
1087mm(b)), requires the Secretary of
Defense to provide the Secretary of
Education with information to identify
children whose parent or guardian was
a member of the Armed Forces of the
United States and died as a result of
performing military service in Iraq or
Afghanistan after September 11, 2001.
Beginning with the 2009–2010 Award
Year, a qualifying student may be
eligible for a greater amount of Title IV,
HEA program assistance. The qualifying
student must have been age 24 or less
at the time of the parent or guardian’s
death or, if older than 24, enrolled parttime or full-time in an institution of
higher education at the time of the
parent or guardian’s death. Beginning
July 1, 2010, students who are otherwise
qualified children of deceased U.S.
military who meet the requirements of
section 420R of the HEA (20 U.S.C.
1070h) may also be eligible for higher
amounts of Title IV, HEA program
assistance.
To ensure that eligible students
receive the maximum allowable amount
of Title IV, HEA program assistance, the
Department of Defense and the
Department of Education created a
computer matching program.
The purpose of this notice is to
announce the continuation of the
computer matching program and to
provide certain required information
concerning the computer matching
program.
We provide this notice 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 (Pub. L. 100–503) and the
Computer Matching and Privacy
Protection Amendments of 1990 (Pub. L.
101–508) (Privacy Act); the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
Guidelines on the Conduct of Matching
Programs (54 FR 25818, June 19, 1989);
and OMB Circular A–130:
2. Purpose of the Match
The purpose of this matching program
is to ensure that the requirements of
sections 420R and 473(b) of the HEA (20
U.S.C. 1070h and 20 U.S.C. 1087mm(b))
are fulfilled.
DoD is the lead contact agency for
information related to benefits for
military service dependents and, as
such, provides these data to ED. ED
(recipient agency) seeks access to the
information contained in the DoD
(source agency) Defense Manpower Data
PO 00000
Frm 00042
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Center (DMDC) system and the Defense
Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System
(DEERS).
3. Authority for Conducting the
Matching Program
Under sections 420R and 473(b) of the
HEA (20 U.S.C. 1070h and 20 U.S.C.
1087mm(b)), ED must identify the
children of military personnel who have
died as a result of their military service
in Iraq or Afghanistan after September
11, 2001, to determine if the child is
eligible for increased amounts of Title
IV, HEA program assistance.
DoD and ED have determined that
using DoD data provided to ED for
matching against ED’s Federal Student
Aid Application File (18–11–01) is the
only practical method that the agencies
can use to meet the statutory
requirements of the HEA.
4. Categories of Records and
Individuals Covered by the Match
DoD will submit for verification
records from its DMDC and DEERS data
bases to ED’s Central Processing System
files (Federal Student Aid Application
File (18–11–01)), the Social Security
number (SSN) and other identifying
information for each qualifying
dependent record. ED will use the SSN,
date of birth, and the first two letters of
an applicant’s last name to match with
the Federal Student Aid Application
File.
The DoD DMDC and DEERS systems
contain the names, SSNs, dates of birth,
and other identifying information about
dependents of service personnel who
died as a result of performing their
military service in Iraq or Afghanistan
after September 11, 2001. This system of
records also contains the date the
servicemember died.
5. Effective Dates of the Matching
Program
The matching program will be
effective on the last of the following
dates: (1) August 1, 2012; (2) 30 days
after notice of the matching program has
been published in the Federal Register;
or (3) 40 days after a report concerning
the matching program has been
transmitted to OMB and transmitted to
the Congress along with a copy of this
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 OMB
and Congress.
The matching program will continue
for 18 months after the effective date of
the computer matching agreement and
may be extended for an additional 12
months thereafter, if the conditions
