AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

 

Privacy Act; Routine Uses for Offset of Federal Salaries or 
Benefits and for Disclosure to Consumer Reporting Agencies

AGENCY: Agency for International Development, USAID.

ACTION: Notice of an amendment of a Privacy Act system of records.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Agency for International Development is adding two general 
routine uses for release of records. The first is to the Department of 
Defense, the U.S. Postal Service and other Federal agencies for the 
purpose of offsetting Federal salaries and benefits to recover 
delinquent debts owed to the U.S. Government. The second is for 
disclosure from specific systems of records to consumer reporting 
agencies to recover delinquent debts owed to the agency.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jan Miller, Office of General Counsel, 
202/647-6380, Fax 202/647-8557.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USAID's ``Statement of General Routine 
Uses'' is amended by adding the following:
    12. A record in this system of records may be disclosed, as a 
routine use: To the Defense Manpower Data Center, Department of Defense 
and to the U.S. Postal Service, to conduct computer matching programs 
for the purpose of identifying and locating individuals who are 
receiving Federal salaries or benefit payment and delinquent in their 
repayment of debts owed to the U.S. Government under certain programs 
administered by USAID in order to collect the debts under the 
provisions of the Debt Collection Act of 1982 (Pub. L. 97-365) by 
voluntary repayment, or by administrative or salary offset procedures; 
and to any other Federal agency for the purpose of effecting 
administrative or salary offset procedures against a person employed by 
that agency or receiving or eligible to receive some benefit payments 
from the agency when USAID as a creditor has a claim against that 
person. Disclosure of information about persons who are receiving 
Federal salaries or benefit payments and are delinquent in their 
repayment of debts owed to the U.S. Government under certain programs 
administered by USAID may be made to other Federal agencies, but only 
to the extent of determining whether the person is employed by that 
agency and if so, effecting administrative or salary offset procedures 
against the person.
    13. A record in the following systems of records may be disclosed, 
as a routine use, to consumer reporting agencies:

Claims Records (AID-20)
Employee Payroll Records (AID-15)
Litigation Records (AID-26) and
Travel and Transportation Records (AID-19)
