(1) Earnings; (2) the right to access the
correct Social Security Record; and (3)
the right to request the earnings

SSA produces an Itemized Statement of
Earnings (Form SSA–1826) and sends it
to the requestor. Respondents are wage

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Interested parties may submit general
questions about the matching program
to Mary Ann Zimmerman, Acting
Executive Director, Office of Privacy
and Disclosure, Office of the General
Counsel, by any of the means shown
above.
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.
We have taken action to ensure that
all of our computer matching programs

Privacy Act, as amended.
Mary Ann Zimmerman,
Acting Executive Director, Office of Privacy
and Disclosure, Office of the General Counsel.
PARTICIPATING AGENCIES:
SSA and OCSE
AUTHORITY FOR CONDUCTING THE MATCHING
PROGRAM:
The legal authority for disclosures
under this agreement are the Social
Security Act (Act) and the Privacy Act
of 1974, as amended. Section 453(j)(4) of
the Act provides that OCSE shall
provide the Commissioner of Social
Security with all the information in the
NDNH. 42 U.S.C. 653(j)(4). SSA has
authority to use data to determine
entitlement and eligibility for programs
it administers pursuant to 453(J)(4),
1631(e)(1)(B) and (f), and 1148(d)(1) of
the Act. 42 U.S.C. 653(j)(4), 1320b–
19(d)(1), and 1383(e)(1)(B) and (F).
Disclosures under this agreement shall
be made in accordance with 5 U.S.C.
552a(b)(3), and in compliance with the
matching procedures in 5 U.S.C.
552a(o), (p), and (r).
The Commissioner of Social Security
is required to verify eligibility of a
recipient or applicant for SSI using
independent or collateral sources. SSI
benefits may not be determined solely
based on declarations by the applicant
concerning eligibility factors or other
relevant facts. Information is also
obtained, as necessary, in order to
assure that SSI benefits are only
provided to eligible individuals (or
eligible spouses) and that the amounts
of such benefits are correct. Section
1631(e)(1)(B) of the Act (42 U.S.C.
1383(e)(1)(B)).
Subsection 1631(f) of the Act (42
U.S.C. 1383(f)) provides that ‘‘the head
of any federal agency shall provide such
information as the Commissioner of
Social Security needs for purposes of
determining eligibility for or amount of
benefits, or verifying information with
respect thereto.’’
Section 1148(d)(1) of the Act (42
U.S.C. 1320b–19(d)(1)) requires SSA to
verify earnings of beneficiaries/
recipients to ensure accurate payments
to employer network providers under
the Ticket-to-Work program.
PURPOSE(S):
The purpose of this matching program
is to govern the following information
exchange operations between OCSE and
us from the National Directory of New
Hires (NDNH): online query access for
Supplemental Security Income (SSI),
Disability Insurance (DI), and Ticket-toWork and Self-Sufficiency (Ticket)

programs, and SSI Quarterly Wage batch
match. This agreement also governs the
use, treatment, and safeguarding of the
information exchanged. The agreement
assists us (1) in establishing or verifying
eligibility or payment amounts, or both
under the SSI program; (2) in
establishing or verifying eligibility or
continuing entitlement under the DI
program; (3) in administering the Ticket
programs. These activities include
overpayment avoidance and recovery
for all three programs.
CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS:
The individuals whose information is
involved in this matching program are
those individuals that are receiving
benefits under the SSI, DI, and Ticket
programs and individuals who are new
hires, earning quarterly wages, or
receiving unemployment insurance.
CATEGORIES OF RECORDS:
Our Systems of Records (SOR) are the
Supplemental Security Income Record
and Special Veterans Benefits (SSR/
SVB), SSA/OASSIS, 60–0103 published
January 11, 2006 at 71 FR 1830, and
amended at 72 FR 69723 (December 10,
2007); and the Completed
Determination Record-Continuing
Disability Determination file (CDR–
CDD), SSA/OD, 60–0050, published
January 11, 2006 at 71 FR 1813, and
amended at 72 FR 69723 (December 10,
2007).
OCSE will match our information in
the SSR and CDR–CDD against the new
hire, quarterly wage, and
unemployment insurance information
furnished by state and federal agencies
maintained in its SOR ‘‘OCSE National
Directory of New Hires’’ (NDNH), No.
09–80–0381, established by publication
in the FR on April 2, 2015 at 80 FR
17906. Routine use (9) of the SOR
authorizes disclosure of NDNH
information to SSA, 80 FR 17906, 17907
(April 2, 2015).
We will access the OCSE web service
when making online queries for new
hire, quarterly wage, and
unemployment insurance information
in the NDNH. To comply with
limitations on disclosure and to prohibit
browsing, our access is restricted by
anti-browsing technology (permission
modules) to only those Social Security
numbers (SSN) that have a direct
business relationship with SSI, DI, or
Ticket programs (that is, the record must
have a valid SSI, DI, or Ticket payment
or application issue). If no business
relationship exists with us, OCSE denies
access to NDNH and the user is unable
to proceed. If a business relationship
exists with us, we can access the NDNH
via the OCSE web service to display

´
Grupo Mexico, S.A.B. de C.V. and

GMexico Transportes, S.A. de C.V.—
Control Exemption—Florida East
Coast Holdings Corp.
´
GMexico Transportes, S.A. de C.V.
´
(GMexico Transportes), a non-carrier
holding company, has filed a verified
notice of exemption pursuant to 49 CFR
1180.2(d)(2) to control Florida East
Coast Railway, L.L.C. (FECR), a Class II
rail carrier operating in the state of
Florida, and Texas Pacifico
Transportation, Ltd. (Pacifico), a Class
III rail carrier operating in the state of
´
Texas. In addition, GMexico
Transportes filed an amendment to its
verified notice of exemption to identify
and encompass its parent company,
´
Grupo Mexico, S.A.B. de C.V. (Grupo
´
Mexico), also a non-carrier holding
company,1 and to identify Copper Basin
Railway, Inc. (Copper Basin), a Class III
rail carrier operating in the state of
Arizona, as an additional carrier which
´
Grupo Mexico controls.2 Control of
these three rail carriers by Grupo
´
´
Mexico and GMexico Transportes will
be effected upon the merger of GMXT
Florida Merger Sub, Inc. (GMXT Merger
Sub), a non-carrier subsidiary of
´
GMexico Transportes, with and into
Florida East Coast Holdings Corp. (FEC
Holdings), a non-carrier currently
controlling FECR.3
The transaction may be consummated
on or after May 28, 2017, the effective
date of the exemption.4
1 GMexico Transportes filed the verified notice of
´
exemption and the amendment to that notice
identifying itself as the entity obtaining Board
authority in this proceeding. However, because
´
Grupo Mexico is the ultimate parent company of
´
´
GMexico Transportes, and because Grupo Mexico is
the entity in ultimate control of both Pacifico and
Copper Basin, this proceeding has been recaptioned
´
to include Grupo Mexico.
2 It appears that Grupo Mexico did not obtain
´
Board authority to have common control of more
than one rail carrier when it acquired Copper Basin.
If that is the case, and if such authority was
´
required, the Board expects Grupo Mexico to
promptly submit an appropriate filing for
authorization of that common control.
3 On April 10, 2017, GMexico Transportes and
´
FEC Holdings jointly filed a motion for protective
order under 49 CFR 1104.14(b), which will be
addressed in a separate decision.
4 Because GMexico Transportes amended its
´
verified notice of exemption on April 28, 2017, that
date is the official filing date and the basis for all
subsequent dates.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
We have taken action to ensure that all of our computer matching
programs comply with the requirements of the Privacy Act, as amended.

PARTICIPATING AGENCIES:
SSA and OCSE
AUTHORITY FOR CONDUCTING THE MATCHING PROGRAM:
The legal authority for disclosures under this agreement are the
Social Security Act (Act) and the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended.
Section 453(j)(4) of the Act provides that OCSE shall provide the
Commissioner of Social Security with all the information in the NDNH.
42 U.S.C. 653(j)(4). SSA has authority to use data to determine
entitlement and eligibility for programs it administers pursuant to
453(J)(4), 1631(e)(1)(B) and (f), and 1148(d)(1) of the Act. 42 U.S.C.
653(j)(4), 1320b-19(d)(1), and 1383(e)(1)(B) and (F). Disclosures under
this agreement shall be made in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3),
and in compliance with the matching procedures in 5 U.S.C. 552a(o),
(p), and (r).
The Commissioner of Social Security is required to verify
eligibility of a recipient or applicant for SSI using independent or
collateral sources. SSI benefits may not be determined solely based on
declarations by the applicant concerning eligibility factors or other
relevant facts. Information is also obtained, as necessary, in order to
assure that SSI benefits are only provided to eligible individuals (or
eligible spouses) and that the amounts of such benefits are correct.
Section 1631(e)(1)(B) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 1383(e)(1)(B)).
Subsection 1631(f) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 1383(f)) provides that
``the head of any federal agency shall provide such information as the
Commissioner of Social Security needs for purposes of determining
eligibility for or amount of benefits, or verifying information with
respect thereto.''
Section 1148(d)(1) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 1320b-19(d)(1)) requires
SSA to verify earnings of beneficiaries/recipients to ensure accurate
payments to employer network providers under the Ticket-to-Work
program.
PURPOSE(S):
The purpose of this matching program is to govern the following
information exchange operations between OCSE and us from the National
Directory of New Hires (NDNH): online query access for Supplemental
Security Income (SSI), Disability Insurance (DI), and Ticket-to-Work
and Self-Sufficiency (Ticket) programs, and SSI Quarterly Wage batch
match. This agreement also governs the use, treatment, and safeguarding
of the information exchanged. The agreement assists us (1) in
establishing or verifying eligibility or payment amounts, or both under
the SSI program; (2) in establishing or verifying eligibility or
continuing entitlement under the DI program; (3) in administering the
Ticket programs. These activities include overpayment avoidance and
recovery for all three programs.
CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS:
The individuals whose information is involved in this matching
program are those individuals that are receiving benefits under the
SSI, DI, and Ticket programs and individuals who are new hires, earning
quarterly wages, or receiving unemployment insurance.
CATEGORIES OF RECORDS:
Our Systems of Records (SOR) are the Supplemental Security Income
Record and Special Veterans Benefits (SSR/SVB), SSA/OASSIS, 60-0103
published January 11, 2006 at 71 FR 1830, and amended at 72 FR 69723
