As required by the Privacy
Act of 1974, as amended, the RRB is
issuing public notice of its renewal of an
ongoing computer-matching program
with the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM). The purpose of this
notice is to advise individuals applying

Railroad Retirement Act of the use made
by RRB of this information obtained
from OPM by means of a computer
match.
DATES: This matching program becomes
effective as proposed without further
notice on January 6, 2014. We will file
a report of this computer-matching
program with the Committee on
Homeland Security and Governmental
Affairs of the Senate; the Committee on
Oversight and Government Reform of
the House of Representatives; and the
Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget (OMB).
ADDRESSES: Interested parties may
comment on this publication by writing
to Ms. Martha P. Rico, Secretary to the
Board, Railroad Retirement Board, 844
North Rush Street, Chicago, Illinois

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Railroad Retirement Board, 844 North
Rush Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
(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. The last notice for this
matching program was published at 75
FR 53004 (August 30, 2010).
A. General
The Computer Matching and Privacy
Protection Act of 1988, (Pub. L. 100–
503), amended by the Privacy Act of
1974, (5 U.S.C. 552a) as amended,
requires a Federal agency participating
in a computer matching program to
publish a notice in the Federal Register
for all matching programs.
The Privacy Act, as amended,
regulates the use of computer matching
by Federal agencies when records
contained in a Privacy Act 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
the other agency or agencies
participating in the matching programs;
(2) Obtain the approval of the
matching agreement by the Data
Integrity Boards (DIB) 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;
Sections 3(a)(1), 4(a)(1) and 4(f)(1) of
the Railroad Retirement Act, as
amended, 45 U.S.C. 231b(a)(1),
231c(a)(1) and 231c(f)(1) require that the
RRB reduce the Railroad Retirement
benefits of certain beneficiaries entitled
to Railroad Retirement employee and/or
spouse/widow benefits who are also
entitled to a government pension based
on their own non-covered earnings. We
call this reduction a Public Service
Pension (PSP) offset.
Section 224 of the Social Security Act,
as amended, 42 U.S.C. 424a, provides
for the reduction of disability benefits
when the disabled worker is also
entitled to a public disability benefit
(PDB). We call this a PDB offset. A civil
service disability benefit is considered a
PDB. Section 224(h)(1) requires any
Federal agency to provide RRB with
information in its possession that RRB
may require for the purposes of making
a timely determination of the amount of
reduction under section 224 of the
Social Security Act. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
Section 552a(b)(3) OPM has established
routine uses to disclose the subject
information to RRB.

civil service payment information.
