Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 31 / Wednesday, February 17, 2016 / Notices
Background and Brief Description
This is a revision request for three
years for the currently approved OMB
Control Number 0920–0968, with an
expiration date of May 31, 2016. This
request is to extend the time and
slightly reduce burden.
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a
serious, preventable public health
problem that affects millions of
Americans and results in serious
consequences for victims, families, and
communities. IPV occurs between two
people in a close relationship. The term
‘‘intimate partner’’ describes physical,
sexual, or psychological harm by a
current or former partner or spouse. IPV
can impact health in many ways,
including long-term health problems,
emotional impacts, and links to negative
health behaviors. Given these factors,
the Family Violence Prevention and
Services Act (42 U.S.C. 10401) provides
an important opportunity for the
advancement of public health and
reduction of IPV. Support and guidance
for programs addressing IPV have been
provided through cooperative agreement
funding and technical assistance
administered by CDC’s National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC). NCIPC will continue collecting
information needed to monitor
cooperative agreement programs funded
under Domestic Violence Prevention
Enhancement and Leadership through
Alliances, Focusing on Outcomes for
Communities United with States
(DELTA FOCUS).
Information to be collected will
provide crucial data for program
performance monitoring and provide
CDC with the capacity to respond in a
timely manner to requests for
information about the program from the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), the White House,
Congress, and other sources. Awardees
will report progress and activity
information to CDC on an annual
schedule using the Program
Management Information System (PMIS)
consisting of fillable electronic
templates and submitted via Grant
Solutions. CDC will use the information
collected to monitor each awardee’s
progress and to identify facilitators and
challenges to program implementation
and achievement of outcomes.
Monitoring allows CDC to determine
whether an awardee is meeting
performance goals and to make
adjustments in the type and level of
technical assistance provided to them,
as needed, to support attainment of their
objectives. CDC’s monitoring and
evaluation activities also allow CDC to
provide oversight of the use of federal
funds, and to identify and disseminate
information about successful prevention
and control strategies implemented by
awardees.
Participation in the information
collection is required as a condition of
funding. The estimated annual burden
hours are 60. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

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
manner in which computer matching
involving Federal agencies could be
performed and adding certain
protections for individuals applying for
and receiving Federal benefits. Section
7201 of the Omnibus Budget
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 31 / Wednesday, February 17, 2016 / Notices
Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–
508) further amended the Privacy Act
regarding protections for such
individuals. 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 agencies participating in the
matching programs;
2. Obtain the Data Integrity Board
approval of the match agreements;
3. Furnish detailed reports about
matching programs to Congress and
OMB;
4. Notify applicants and beneficiaries
that the records are subject to matching;
and,
5. Verify match findings before
reducing, suspending, terminating, or
denying an individual’s benefits or
payments.
This matching program meets the
requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974,
as amended.

the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–

interfaces and an on-line system for the
verification of eligibility.
PURPOSE(S) OF THE MATCHING PROGRAM:
The purpose of the Computer
Matching Agreement is to re-establish
the terms, conditions, safeguards, and
procedures under which USCIS will
provide records, information, or data to
CMS under the ACA. CMS will access
USCIS data needed to make eligibility
determinations in its capacity as a
Federally-facilitated Exchange, and state
agencies that administer Medicaid, a
Basic Health Program, or the Children’s
Health Insurance Program, and Statebased Exchanges will receive the results
of verifications using USCIS data
accessed through CMS Data Services
Hub to make eligibility determinations.
Data will be matched by CMS for the
purpose for determining eligibility for
enrollment in state health subsidy
programs and eligibility determinations
for exemptions. Specifically, USCIS will
provide CMS with electronic access to
immigrant, nonimmigrant, and
naturalized or derived citizen status
information contained within or
accessed by the USCIS Verification
Information System. Access to this
information will assist CMS in
determining whether an applicant is
lawfully present, a qualified noncitizen, a naturalized or derived citizen,
and whether the 5 year bar applies and
has been met in order to determine
eligibility for the previously mentioned
programs.
DESCRIPTION OF RECORDS TO BE USED IN THE
MATCHING PROGRAM:
The matching program will be
conducted with data maintained by
CMS in the Health Insurance Exchanges
System (HIX), CMS System No. 09–70–
0560, as amended, published at 78 FR
8538 (Feb. 6, 2013), 78 FR 32256 (May
29, 2013) and 78 FR 63211 (October 23,
2013).
The matching program will also be
conducted with data maintained by
DHS in the Systematic Alien
Verification for Entitlements (SAVE)
System of Records Notice (SAVE
SORN): DHS/USCIS–004 Systematic
Alien Verification for Entitlements
Program System of Records Notice, 77
