assist victims of such fraud to obtain restitution; to enable private 
health plans to participate in health care fraud task force activities; 
and to assist tribunals having jurisdiction over claims against private 
health plans. It should be noted that with regard to taxpayer 
information, the addition of this routine use is not intended to affect 
the confidentiality of such taxpayer information as provided for in 26

Act, requires a 40-day period in which to conclude its review of the 
system. Therefore, please submit any comments by [30 days after

are invited to submit any comments to Mary E. Cahill, Management and 
Planning Staff, Justice Management Division, United States Department
