Participating Agencies: The
Department of Education (ED) and the
Department of Justice (DOJ).
Authority for Conducting the
Matching Program: Under section 421 of
the Controlled Substances Act (21
U.S.C. 862) (originally enacted as
section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act
of 1988, Pub. L. 100–690, 21 U.S.C.
853a, which was amended and redesignated as section 421 of the
Controlled Substances Act by section
1002(d) of the Crime Control Act of
1990, Pub. L. 101–647) (hereinafter
referred to as ‘‘section 5301’’)), an
individual convicted of a Federal or
State drug trafficking or possession
offense may be denied, at the discretion
of the court, certain Federal benefits,
including those under the Federal
Student Financial Assistance Programs
authorized by title IV of the Higher
Education Act (HEA) of 1965, as
amended (title IV, HEA student
financial assistance). The Denial of
Federal Benefits and Defense
Procurement Fraud Debarment
Clearinghouse Programs (DFB/DPFD)
database (formerly known as DEBARS)
collects information regarding those
individuals for whom benefits are
denied and forwards this information to
the General Services Administration
(GSA) for inclusion in the publication
‘‘Lists of Parties Excluded from Federal
Procurement or Non-procurement
Programs,’’ more commonly known as
the ‘‘Debarment List.’’ Federal agencies
are required by law to consult the
Debarment List, prior to the provision of
certain benefits. However, ED and DOJ
have determined that, for purposes of
verifying title IV, HEA student financial
assistance eligibility, direct access to the
DFB/DPFD database would be more
useful than access to the GSA’s
Debarment List because the DFB/DPFD
database contains information essential
to the effective operation of the match
that is not available in the GSA List.
By matching the names, dates of birth,
and Social Security Number (SSNs) in
the DFB/DPFD database with ED’s
student financial aid records, ED is able
to identify students who do not qualify
for Federal student financial assistance
pursuant to section 5301. DOJ’s system
of records also contains information
concerning the specific program or
programs for which benefits have been
denied, as well as the period of
ineligibility. DOJ will make available for
the CMA the records of only those
individuals who have been denied
Federal benefits under one or more of
the title IV, HEA programs. Thus, ED
avoids the cost of disbursing student
financial assistance funds to individuals
who do not qualify for Federal student

financial assistance, but who would
otherwise receive aid had the CMA not
existed.
DOJ is the lead contact agency for
information related to violations of
section 5301 and, as such, provides this
data to ED. The 18-month CMA was
recertified for an additional 12 months
on July 2, 2022 and will automatically
expire on July 1, 2023.
Purpose(s): The purpose of this
matching program is to ensure that the
requirements of section 5301 are met.
DOJ is the lead contact agency for
information related to section 5301
violations and, as such, provides this
data to ED. ED seeks access to the
information contained in the Denial of
Federal Benefits and Defense
Procurement Fraud Debarment
Clearinghouse program (DFB/DPFD)
database (formerly known as DEBARS)
that is authorized under section 5301 for
the purpose of ensuring that HEA
student financial assistance is not
awarded to individuals subject to denial
of benefits under court orders issued
pursuant to the Denial of Federal
Benefits Program.
Categories of Individuals: The
individuals whose records are included
in this matching program are
individuals who are the subject of
section 5301 denial of benefits court
orders, and all students who complete a
Free Application for Federal Student
Aid. ED receives data from the DOJ
DFB/DPFD system that is used to match
title IV, HEA applicant data in ED’s Aid
Awareness and Application Processing
System of Records (AAAP) (18–11–
21)—published in the Federal Register
on September 13, 2022 (87 FR 56026),
and available at: https://www.federal
register.gov/documents/2022/09/13/
2022-19890/privacy-act-of-1974-systemof-records.
Categories of Records: ED will use the
SSN, date of birth, and the first two
letters of an applicant’s last name for the
match. These data elements are
contained in ED’s Central Processing
System (CPS) and Free Application for
Federal Student Aid Processing System
(FPS). The DOJ DFB/DPFD system
contains the names, SSNs, dates of
birth, and other identifying information
regarding individuals convicted of
Federal or State offenses involving drug
trafficking or possession of a controlled
substance who have been denied
Federal benefits by Federal or State
courts. This system of records also
contains information concerning the
specific program or programs for which
benefits have been denied, as well as the
duration of the period of ineligibility.
DOJ will make available for the
matching program the records of only
