Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 202 / Monday, October 20, 2014 / Notices A. General The Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act 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 the other agency or agencies participating in the matching programs; (2) Obtain 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. Kirsten J. Moncada, Executive Director, Office of Privacy and Disclosure, Office of the General Counsel. Notice of Computer Matching Program, SSA With the Department of Labor (DOL) A. PARTICIPATING AGENCIES SSA and DOL tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES B. PURPOSE OF THE MATCHING PROGRAM The purpose of this matching program is to establish the terms, conditions, and safeguards under which DOL will disclose the DOL administered Part C Black Lung (BL) benefit data to us. We will match DOL’s Part C BL data with our records of persons receiving Social Security disability benefits to verify that Part C BL beneficiaries are receiving the VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:28 Oct 17, 2014 Jkt 235001 correct amount of Social Security disability benefits. C. AUTHORITY FOR CONDUCTING THE MATCHING PROGRAM This agreement is executed 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, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The legal authority for this agreement is 224(h)(1) of the Social Security Act (Act), 42 U.S.C. 424a(h)(1). This legal authority requires any Federal agency to provide us with information in its possession that we may require for making a timely determination of the amount of reduction required under 224 of the Act for workers’ compensation offset. D. CATEGORIES OF RECORDS AND PERSONS COVERED BY THE MATCHING PROGRAM We will match the MBR, SSA/ORSIS (60–0090) last published on January 11, 2006 (71 FR 1826), which contains all data pertinent to payments made to Social Security disability beneficiaries, with an extract from DOL’s Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs, BL Benefit Payments file, DOL/ESA–30. Both agencies have published the appropriate routine uses to permit the disclosures necessary to conduct this match. DOL’s monthly extract file will contain the necessary identifying and payment information for approximately 23,000 beneficiaries, all miners under age 65 entitled to receive Part C BL payments. We will match these DOL records against the MBR. DOL’s monthly extract file will contain each Part C BL beneficiary’s SSN, name, date of birth, date of entitlement, payment status, current benefit amount, and effective date of the current benefit amount. We will determine which of the beneficiaries are receiving Social Security disability benefits and match the DOL data against the SSN, type of action code, and offset type for those beneficiaries in our MBR. E. INCLUSIVE DATES OF THE MATCHING PROGRAM The effective date of this matching program is November 25, 2014; provided that the following notice periods have lapsed: 30 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register and 40 days after notice of the matching program is sent to Congress and OMB. The matching program will continue for 18 months from the effective date and, if both agencies meet certain conditions, it may extend for an additional 12 months thereafter.

FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA–2014–0095. Applicant: Wisconsin Central Limited, Mr. Thomas L. Brasseur, Manager S&C, Engineering Department, Southern Region, 1625 Depot Street, Stevens Point, WI 54481. WC, a subsidiary of Canadian National Railway (CN), seeks approval of the proposed discontinuance and removal of a traffic control system (TCS) between Milepost (MP) 162.9, South Ranier, and MP 161.8, Van Lynn, on the Rainy Subdivision, Ranier, MN. TCS will be removed and listed limits will be operated per CN’s U.S. Operating Rules, VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:28 Oct 17, 2014 Jkt 235001 Rule 520, Yard limits. New TCS limits will begin and end at Van Lynn. The reason given for the proposed changes is to allow Canadian train crews more headroom to avoid blocking Spruce Street in Ranier. Currently, Canadian train crews cannot operate into United States TCS territory; therefore, Canadian crews have to be relieved by a United States crew to move the train. This changing of crews adds to the length of time that Spruce Street is blocked. In addition, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has a new inspection facility and requires more room to remove containers for inspection. This creates the need for a crew change to move the train far enough for this action to take place.

FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA–2014–0087. RVTC petitioned for a waiver of compliance for one locomotive from the requirements of 49 CFR 223.11, Requirements for existing locomotives, that requires certified glazing in all locations. The subject locomotive is a leased Electro-Motive Diesel Model SW1200 locomotive built in 1949 and bearing the number WRIX 82. This locomotive is operated over 9.5 miles of RVTC track and 2 miles of Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad track (for interchange of freight cars), all within the Medford Industrial Park in White City, OR. Speeds do not exceed 10 mph. It is equipped with glazing that meets an ASI rating of AS–1. This locomotive has been operating over the same trackage under a glazing waiver per Docket Number FRA–2005–23332, issued to former operator White City Terminal and Utility Railway, for the last 8 years with no incidents of vandalism to the glazing or any other railroad property. This new waiver petition was necessitated by a change in corporate ownership. RVTC also cites economic E:\FR\FM\20OCN1.SGM 20OCN1
