ACTION: Notice of a new matching
program.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended
(‘‘Privacy Act’’), this document
announces the establishment of a
computer matching program the Federal
Communications Commission (‘‘FCC’’
or ‘‘Commission’’ or ‘‘Agency’’) and the
Universal Service Administrative
Company (USAC) will conduct with the
Tennessee Department of Human
Services (Department). The purpose of
this matching program is to verify the
eligibility of applicants to and
subscribers of the Emergency Broadband
Benefit Program, which is administered
by USAC under the direction of the
FCC, or other Federal programs that use
qualification for the FCC’s Lifeline
Program as an eligibility criterion. More
information about this program is
provided in the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section below.
DATES: Written comments are due on or
before July 16, 2021. This computer
matching program will commence on
July 16, 2021 and will conclude 18
months after becoming effective.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Margaret
Drake, FCC, 45 L Street NE, Washington,
DC 20554, or to Privacy@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Margaret Drake at 202–417–1707 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Emergency Broadband Benefit Program
(EBBP) was established by Congress in
the Consolidated Appropriations Act of
2021, Public Law 116–260, 134 Stat.
1182. EBBP is a program that will help
low-income Americans obtain
discounted broadband service and onetime co-pay for a connected device
(laptop, desktop computer or tablet).
This program was created specifically to
assist American families’ access to
broadband, which has proven to be
essential for work, school, and
healthcare during the public health
emergency that exists as a result of

COVID–19. A household may qualify for
the EBBP benefit under various criteria,
including an individual qualifying for
the FCC’s Lifeline program.
In a Report and Order adopted on
March 31, 2016, the Commission
ordered USAC to create a National
Lifeline Eligibility Verifier (‘‘National
Verifier’’), including the National
Lifeline Eligibility Database (LED), that
would match data about Lifeline
applicants and subscribers with other
data sources to verify the eligibility of
an applicant or subscriber. The
Commission found that the National
Verifier would reduce compliance costs
for Lifeline service providers, improve
service for Lifeline subscribers, and
reduce waste, fraud, and abuse in the
program. The Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2021 directs the
FCC to leverage the National Verifier to
verify applicants’ eligibility for EBBP.
The purpose of this matching program
is to verify the eligibility of EBBP
applicants and subscribers by
determining whether they receive
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) benefits administered
by the Tennessee Department. Under
FCC rules, consumers receiving these
benefits qualify for Lifeline discounts
and also for EBBP benefits.

Services (Department).
Authority for Conducting the Matching
Program
Consolidated Appropriations Act of
2021, Public Law 116–260, 134 Stat.

Purpose(s)
In the 2016 Lifeline Modernization
Order (81 FR 33026, May 24, 2016), the
FCC required USAC to develop and
operate the National Verifier to improve
efficiency and reduce waste, fraud, and
abuse in the Lifeline program. The
stated purpose of the National Verifier
is ‘‘to increase the integrity and improve
the performance of the Lifeline program
for the benefit of a variety of Lifeline
participants, including Lifeline
providers, subscribers, states,
community-based organizations, USAC,
and the Commission.’’ 31 FCC Rcd

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended
(``Privacy Act''), this document announces the establishment of a
computer matching program the Federal Communications Commission
(``FCC'' or ``Commission'' or ``Agency'') and the Universal Service
Administrative Company (USAC) will conduct with the Tennessee
Department of Human Services (Department). The purpose of this matching
program is to verify the eligibility of applicants to and subscribers
of the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program, which is administered by
USAC under the direction of the FCC, or other Federal programs that use
qualification for the FCC's Lifeline Program as an eligibility
criterion. More information about this program is provided in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below.
DATES: Written comments are due on or before July 16, 2021. This
computer matching program will commence on July 16, 2021 and will
conclude 18 months after becoming effective.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Emergency Broadband Benefit Program
(EBBP) was established by Congress in the Consolidated Appropriations
Act of 2021, Public Law 116-260, 134 Stat. 1182. EBBP is a program that
will help low-income Americans obtain discounted broadband service and
one-time co-pay for a connected device (laptop, desktop computer or
tablet). This program was created specifically to assist American
families' access to broadband, which has proven to be essential for
work, school, and healthcare during the public health emergency that
exists as a result of COVID-19. A household may qualify for the EBBP
benefit under various criteria, including an individual qualifying for
the FCC's Lifeline program.
In a Report and Order adopted on March 31, 2016, the Commission
ordered USAC to create a National Lifeline Eligibility Verifier
(``National Verifier''), including the National Lifeline Eligibility
Database (LED), that would match data about Lifeline applicants and
subscribers with other data sources to verify the eligibility of an
applicant or subscriber. The Commission found that the National
Verifier would reduce compliance costs for Lifeline service providers,
improve service for Lifeline subscribers, and reduce waste, fraud, and
abuse in the program. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021
directs the FCC to leverage the National Verifier to verify applicants'
eligibility for EBBP. The purpose of this matching program is to verify
the eligibility of EBBP applicants and subscribers by determining
whether they receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
benefits administered by the Tennessee Department. Under FCC rules,
consumers receiving these benefits qualify for Lifeline discounts and
also for EBBP benefits.

Authority for Conducting the Matching Program
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, Public Law 116-260, 134
Stat. 1182; 47 CFR part 54.
Purpose(s)
In the 2016 Lifeline Modernization Order (81 FR 33026, May 24,
2016), the FCC required USAC to develop and operate the National
Verifier to improve efficiency and reduce waste, fraud, and abuse in
the Lifeline program. The stated purpose of the National Verifier is
``to increase the integrity and improve the performance of the Lifeline
program for the benefit of a variety of Lifeline participants,
including Lifeline providers, subscribers, states, community-based
organizations, USAC, and the Commission.'' 31 FCC Rcd 3962, 4006, para.
126. To help determine whether Lifeline applicants and subscribers are
eligible for Lifeline benefits, the Order contemplates that the USAC-
operated LED will communicate with information systems and databases
operated by other Federal and State agencies. Id. at 4011-2, paras.
135-7.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 directs the FCC to
leverage the National Verifier to verify applicants' eligibility for
EBBP. The purpose of this matching program is to verify the eligibility
of EBBP applicants and subscribers by determining whether they receive
SNAP benefits administered by the Tennessee Department. Under FCC
rules, consumers receiving these benefits qualify for Lifeline
discounts and also for EBBP benefits.
Categories of Individuals
The categories of individuals whose information is involved in the
matching program include, but are not limited to, those individuals who
have applied for EBBP benefits; are currently receiving benefits; are
individuals who enable another individual in their household to qualify
for EBBP benefits; are minors whose status qualifies a parent or
guardian for EBBP benefits; or are individuals who have received EBBP
benefits.
Categories of Records
The categories of records involved in the matching program include,
but are not limited to last name, date of birth and the last four
digits of the applicant's Social Security Number. The National Verifier
will transfer these data elements to the Tennessee Department, which
will respond either ``yes'' or ``no'' that the individual is enrolled
in an EBBP-qualifying assistance program: State of Tennessee's SNAP.
System(s) of Records
