7201 of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–
508) further amended the Privacy Act
regarding protections for such

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 a CMP 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.

its capacity as a Federally-facilitated
Exchange, and agencies administering
insurance affordability programs that

using PC data obtained through the CMS
Data Services Hub.
Data will be matched for the purpose
of verifying an Applicant or Enrollee’s
eligibility for PC Health Benefit Plans
that constitute minimum essential
coverage as defined in § 5000A(f) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, 26

Capacity Building Center for Tribes
(CBCT), operated by the University of
Denver (Colorado Seminary). The
primary goal of this grant is to provide

and IV–B American Indian and Alaska
Native Nations (AI/AN), and to promote
intergovernmental collaboration
between tribes and state child welfare
agencies in system improvement work.

SUMMARY:

email: roshanda.shoulders@acf.hhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Supplemental funds would be used to
enhance the development and delivery
of high-quality products and services
designed to build the capacities of child
welfare systems to improve outcomes
for AI/AN children, youth, and families
and their communities. These enhanced
services will build on CBCT’s existing
engagement and partnerships with state
and tribal child welfare agencies to
further address the needs of, and reduce
disparities for, native children and
families (e.g., rates of removal and
placement in out-of-home care, access to
effective and culturally appropriate
services, well-being outcomes), and
improve overall child welfare services
delivery and outcomes for AI/AN
children youth and families.
The supplemental funding will afford
CBCT the opportunity to provide
expanded universal and tailored
technical assistance to tribes across the
nation and allow for expanded and
enhanced collaboration and
coordination with the other capacity
building providers.
The programmatic components
targeted under this supplement will be
for CBCT expansion activities to better
meet the national need for universal and
tailored services to tribal child welfare
agencies. Over 180 tribes are eligible to
receive capacity-building services
through CBCT based on their
management of title IV–B and tribal title
IV–E funded programs. There has been
a concerted outreach effort to encourage
a maximum number of tribes to access
services through CBCT.
