POSTAL SERVICE


Privacy Act of 1974, Computer Matching Program: United States 
Postal Service and the Defense Manpower Data Center, Department of 
Defense

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM.

ACTION: Notice of Computer Matching Program--United States Postal 
Service and the Defense Manpower Data Center, Department of Defense.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Postal Service[supreg] (Postal 
Service[supreg]) plans to participate as the recipient agency in a 
computer matching program with the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC), 
Department of Defense (DoD), as the source agency. The purpose of this 
agreement is to verify continuing eligibility for the TRICARE Reserve 
Select Program (TRS) or TRICARE Retired Reserve (TRR) by identifying 
TRS and TRR recipients who are eligible for or receiving health 
coverage under Federal Employee Health Benefits (FEHB), and to 
terminate TRS or TRR benefits if appropriate.

DATES: The matching program will begin on the effective date of the 
agreement. The effective date is the expiration of a 40-day review 
period by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Congress or 30 days 
after the publication of this notice, whichever is later. The matching 
program will be valid for a period of 18 months after this date.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this proposal should be mailed or 
delivered to the Records Office, United States Postal Service, 475 
L'Enfant Plaza SW., Room 9431, Washington, DC 20260. Copies of all 
written comments will be available at the above address for public 
inspection and photocopying between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through 
Friday.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jane Eyre at (202) 268-2608.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    The Postal Service and DMDC have completed an agreement to conduct 
a computer matching program under subsection (o) of the Privacy Act of 
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a. The Postal Service is undertaking this initiative 
to assist the DMDC in fulfilling a mandate issued under the John Warner 
National Defense Authorization Act of 2007 (NDAA of 2007) (Pub. L. 109-
364) for TRS, with the Fiscal Year 2010, amended section 1076e of title 
10 U.S.Code to establish the TRR Program. This Act established the 
enhanced TRS program as of October 1, 2007 and the TRR Program as of 
October 29, 2009, while excluding Selected Reserve and Retired Reserve 
members eligible for FEHB under chapter 89 of title 5, U.S.Code from 
participation in TRS or TRR.
    The parties to this agreement have determined that a computer 
matching program is the most efficient, expeditious, and effective 
means of obtaining the information needed by the DMDC to identify 
individuals ineligible to continue the TRICARE Reserve Select and 
TRICARE Retired Reserve (TRR) Programs. If this identification is not 
accomplished by computer matching, but is done manually, the cost would 
be prohibitive and it is possible that not all individuals would be 
identified.
    The Postal Service has agreed to assist the DMDC in its efforts to 
identify individuals that are not entitled to receive health coverage 
under TRS or TRR. Currently, upon initial enrollment into TRS or TRR, 
service members must certify that they are not eligible for FEHB in 
order to purchase TRS or TRR health care insurance coverage. Neither 
TRS or TRR has a termination date. The parties to this agreement have 
determined that a computer matching program is the most efficient, 
expeditious, and effective means of identifying ineligible TRS or TRR 
recipients that are eligible for or receiving health coverage under 
FEHB. Absent the matching agreement, DoD would have to recertify the 
enrolled population every year. Manual verification of Federal 
employment information would be an unnecessary and burdensome process 
and a significant expense for the DoD. Additionally, it is possible 
that not all affected individuals would be identified. There are no 
other consolidated data sources available containing this type of 
information.
    The match will compare systems of records maintained by the 
respective agencies from which records will be disclosed for the 
purpose of this computer match. The Postal Service's Personnel 
Compensation and Payroll Records (USPS System of Records (SOR) 100.400 
as amended by 76 FR 35484 (June 17, 2011)) will be compared with a file 
of records of Selected Reserve and Retired Reserve members who are 
enrolled in the TRS or the TRR. These disclosures are authorized by a 
Privacy Act routine use. This routine use, identified as routine use 7, 
is applicable to the payroll system of records, and permits disclosures 
to Federal and state agencies when the record is needed by the Postal 
Service or another agency to determine employee participation in, and 
eligibility under, particular benefit programs administered by those 
agencies. The DMDC will use the system of records identified as DMDC 02 
DoD, ``Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS)'', as 
amended by 76 FR 46757 (August 3, 2011). Routine use 22(1) provides the 
DoD with the FEHB eligibility and Federal employment information 
necessary to determine continuing eligibility for the TRS or the TRR 
program.
    The DMDC will provide semi-annual data to the Postal Service to be 
used in the match, including Social Security Numbers, names, and dates 
of birth for TRS-enrolled Selected Reservists or TRR-enrolled Retired 
Reservists. The Postal Service will submit to the DMDC a file of 
matches against the Postal Service Payroll database.
    The DMDC will update the database with the Postal Service FEHB 
eligibility information and will provide the matching results to the 
responsible Reserve Component. The responsible Reserve Component is 
responsible for verifying the information and making final 
determinations as to positive identification and eligibility for TRS or 
TRR benefits.
    This computer match may have an adverse effect on individuals that 
are identified from the match. After verifying the accuracy of the 
matching information and determining ineligibility for coverage under 
TRS or TRR, the DoD will immediately notify the individual of his or 
her ineligibility for TRS or TRR, and inform the individual at the same 
time about procedures for enrolling in FEHB. This process will help to 
alleviate or minimize any break in medical coverage.
    The privacy of employees will be safeguarded and protected. The 
Postal Service will manage all data in strict accordance with the 
Privacy Act and the terms of the matching agreement. Any verified data 
that is maintained will be managed within the parameters of Privacy Act 
System of Record USPS 100.400, Personnel Compensation and Payroll 
Records.
    The Postal Service will provide 40 days advance notice to Congress 
and the unions for each subsequent matching agreement. Set forth below 
are the terms of the matching agreement, which provide information 
required by the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a); OMB Final Guidance 
Interpreting the Provisions of Public Law 100-503, the Computer 
Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, 54 FR 25818 (June 19, 
1989); and OMB Circular No. A-130, Appendix I (65 FR 77677 (December 
12, 2000)).

Computer Matching Agreement between the United States Postal Service 
and the Defense Data Manpower Center, Department of Defense

A. Supersedure

    This computer matching agreement supersedes all existing data 
exchange agreements or memorandums of understanding between the 
Department of Defense (DoD) and the United States Postal Service (USPS) 
applicable for determining the eligibility for the enrollment in 
premium based TRICARE health plans for Reserve Component (RC) Service 
members based on their eligibility for Federal Employees Health 
Benefits (FEHB) Program.

B. Purpose of the Computer Matching Agreement

    The purpose of this agreement is to establish the conditions, 
safeguards, and procedures under which the USPS, an independent 
establishment of the executive branch of the Government of the United 
States, section 201 of title 39, United States Code (U.S.C.), and USPS 
Payroll, as the recipient agency, will disclose FEHB program 
eligibility and Federal employment information to DoD, as the source 
agency. This disclosure by USPS will provide the DoD with the FEHB 
program eligibility and Federal employment information necessary to 
either verify the eligibility to enroll or verify the continuing

[[Page 35434]]

eligibility of enrolled Service members for premium based TRICARE 
health plans such as the TRICARE Reserve Select (TRS) Program and the 
TRICARE Retired Reserve (TRR) Program.

C. Legal Authority

    This CMA is executed to comply with section 552a of title 5 U.S.C., 
as amended (the Privacy Act of 1974), Public Law (Pub. L.) 100-503, the 
Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act (CMPPA) of 1988, the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130, titled 
``Management of Federal Information Resources'' at 61 Federal Register 
(FR) 6435, February 20, 1996, and OMB guidelines pertaining to computer 
matching at 54 FR 25818, June 19, 1989. The Postal Service is 
authorized to enter into this agreement in accordance with section 411 
of title 39, U.S.C.
    Section 706 of Public Law 109-364, the John Warner National Defense 
Authorization Act of 2007, amended section 1076d of title 10 U.S.C. to 
establish the enhanced TRS Program as of October 1, 2007. Section 705 
of Public Law 111-84, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2010, amended section 1076e of title 10 U.S.C. to establish the 
TRR Program as of October 29, 2009. RC Service members who have 
continuing eligibility for the FEHB Program pursuant to chapter 89 of 
title 5 U.S.C. are not eligible to enroll, or continue an enrollment, 
in the TRS or the TRR Program. This agreement implements the additional 
validation processes needed by DoD to insure RC Service members 
eligible for the FEHB Program may not enroll, or may not continue a 
current enrollment, in the TRS or the TRR Program.

D. Definitions

    1. DoD--Department of Defense
    2. USPS--United States Postal Service Payroll processing unit in 
Eagan, MN
    3. FEHB Program--Federal Employees Health Benefits Program
    4. TRS Program--TRICARE Reserve Select, a premium based TRICARE 
military health plan for members of the Selected Reserve of the Ready 
Reserve of the Armed Forces of the United States
    5. TRR Program--TRICARE Retired Reserve, a premium based TRICARE 
military health plan for members of the Retired Reserve of the Armed 
Forces of the United States
    6. DMDC--Defense Manpower Data Center
    7. DEERS--Defense Eligibility Enrollment and Reporting System
    8. OASD(RA)--Office of the Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs
    9. Recipient Agency--as defined by the Privacy Act (section 
552a(a)(9) of title 5 U.S.C.), the agency receiving the records 
contained in a system of records from a source agency for use in a 
matching program. USPS is the recipient agency.
    10. Source Agency--as defined by the Privacy Act (section 
552a(a)(11) of title 5 U.S.C.), the agency which discloses records 
contained in a system of records to be used in a matching program. DoD 
DMC is the source agency.
    11. TMA--the TRICARE Management Activity

E. Description of the Match Records

    Under the terms of this matching agreement, the Defense Manpower 
Data Center (DMDC) will provide to USPS Payroll a file of records 
consisting of Social Security Number (SSN), date of birth (DOB), and 
the name of Service members of the Ready Reserve, Standby Reserve, and 
Retired Reserve of the Armed Forces of the United States. DMDC will 
update the Defense Eligibility Enrollment Reporting System (DEERS) 
record of those RC Service members with FEHB Program eligibility 
information from the USPS response file. The Office of the Assistant 
Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs (OASD(RA)) will be responsible 
for providing the verified information to the RCs to aid in processing 
of TRS and TRR eligibility determinations.
    USPS agrees to conduct two computer matches within a calendar year 
of the records of RC Service members provided by DMDC matched with the 
information found in USPS Payroll system for permanent employees in a 
current pay status. USPS will validate the identification of the RC 
records that match with the name, SSN and DOB provided by DMDC. USPS 
Payroll will provide the Civilian Agency Indicator, the full FEHB 
Program Plan Code, a Multiple Record Indicator, and a DOB Match 
Indicator. USPS Payroll will forward a response file to DMDC within 30 
business days following the receipt of the initial finder file and for 
all subsequent files submitted.

F. Justification and Expected Results

    1. Justification. Service members of the Selected Reserve who are 
eligible for the FEHB Program are ineligible to enroll in the TRS 
Program. Once a Selected Reserve Service member enrolls in the TRS 
Program, he or she maintains continued coverage until enrolling in a 
non-premium based TRICARE Program, make a decision to terminate TRS 
coverage, or leave the Selected Reserve voluntarily. Service members of 
the Retired Reserve who are eligible for the FEHB Program are 
ineligible to enroll in the TRR Program. Once a Retired Reserve member 
enrolls in the TRR Program, he or she maintains continued coverage 
until they reach age 60, voluntarily make a decision to terminate the 
coverage, or enroll in a non-premium based TRICARE Program. In order to 
effectively administer the program, DoD has a requirement for a 
verified source of FEHB Program eligibility to administer the TRS and 
the TRR Programs.
    As a condition of enrollment into TRS or TRR Program, Service 
members certify they are not eligible for the FEHB Program. Since there 
is no mandatory termination date for TRS, and the mandatory termination 
date for TRR is age 60, DoD will validate the eligibility status of the 
member on a semiannual basis using data from the USPS Payroll. Absent 
the matching agreement, the enrolled RC population would be required to 
recertify their eligibility for the FEHB Program every year. This would 
be an onerous process for Service members as well as significant 
expense for DoD. The use of computer technology to transfer data 
between DMDC and USPS Payroll is faster and more efficient than the use 
of any other manual process to verify eligibility information for the 
FEHB Program.
    2. Expected Results. The data from USPS Payroll will identify 
Service members who are eligible for the FEHB Program and will be used 
to prevent an enrollment in the TRS or the TRR Program if warranted, 
and also to identify the FEHB Program eligibility of a currently 
enrolled Service member in the TRS and the TRR Program. The computer 
match between the USPS Payroll system and the DEERS could have an 
adverse impact on those individuals who lose their entitlement for TRS 
or TRR Program; however, it will have a positive impact as well. 
Service members are notified of the pending termination of their 
enrollment for TRS or TRR Program and provided information for 
enrollment in the FEHB Program. This matching process will help to 
insure the member has no break in medical coverage.
    The derived benefits from this matching operation are primarily not 
quantifiable. DoD is responding to statute to exclude from the TRS and 
the TRR Programs Service members eligible for the FEHB Program. No 
savings will accrue to DoD as a result of this match. Eligible 
beneficiaries will receive care they are entitled to under the law.

G. Description of the Records

    1. Systems of Records (SOR). DoD will use the SOR identified as 
DMDC 02

[[Page 35435]]

DoD, entitled ``Defense Eligibility Enrollment Reporting System 
(DEERS), August 3, 2011, 76 FR 46757.'' The SSNs of RC Service members 
released to USPS pursuant to the routine use ``22a'' set forth in the 
system notice DMDC 02 DoD. (A copy of the system notice is at 
Attachment 1).
    2. Systems of Records (SOR). USPS Payroll provides identification 
of the FEHB Program status of RC Service members to validate the 
eligibility for the statutory requirement of the TRS and the TRR 
Program. Therefore, eligibility information is maintained in the SOR 
identified as USPS 100.400 ``Personnel Compensation and Payroll 
Records,'' at 76 FR 35483, June 17, 2011, pursuant to routine use 7. (A 
copy of the system notice is at Attachment 2).
    3. Number of Records. DMDC will submit a finder file of 
approximately 1.4 million records containing the SSN, name, and DOB of 
RC Service members for matching against the USPS Payroll, and will 
submit subsequent finder files on a semiannual basis thereafter. USPS 
Payroll will provide a reply file containing all appropriate matched 
responses.
    4. Specified Data Elements. See Attachment 3 for a sample record 
format for the finder file and the reply file.
    5. Operational Time Factors. DMDC will forward the initial finder 
file of RC Service members to USPS Payroll after the Congressional and 
OMB review and public comment requirements, mandated by the Privacy 
Act, are satisfied. USPS Payroll will provide a reply file no later 
than 30 business days after receipt of the initial finder file. 
Subsequent finder files, submitted on a semiannual basis, will receive 
a response within approximately 30 business days of receipt. USPS 
Payroll requires the reporting of the health plan semiannually: March 
and September, and the USPS Payroll system is usually available for use 
from 60 to 90 days after the end of the month. DMDC will send the 
finder file when the USPS Payroll system is ready to match, 
approximately 60 to 90 days after March and September.

H. Notice Procedures

    The TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) will inform all TRS and TRR 
sponsors of computer matching activities at the time of enrollment by 
means of the encounter statement on the DD Form 2896-1, ``RC Health 
Coverage Request Form.'' The DD Form 2896-1 is used to coordinate 
enrollment into the TRS Program or the TRR Program. RC Service members 
certify at the time of enrollment that they are not eligible for the 
FEHB Program. In order to provide direct notice to those Service 
members enrolled in TRS or TRR, DMDC will first need the information 
from USPS Payroll to identify TRS and TRR participants who are eligible 
for the FEHB Program. Once DMDC receives that information, Service 
members enrolled in TRS and TRR identified by the USPS Payroll matching 
result as FEHB eligible will be notified by their RC in writing of this 
status. The Service members enrolled in TRS or TRR are requested to 
terminate TRS or TRR coverage if the USPS Payroll information is 
correct or to seek RC assistance to determine their proper eligibility 
for the FEHB Program if the USPS Payroll data is incorrect. The RCs and 
TMA will also provide qualifying information for TRS and TRR to RC 
Service members through beneficiary handbooks, pamphlets, educational 
materials, press releases, briefings, and via the TMA Web site.
    Any deficiencies as to direct notice to the individual for the 
matching program are resolved by the indirect or constructive notice 
that is afforded the individual by agency publication in the FR of both 
the:
    1. Applicable routine use notice, as required by section 552(e)(11) 
of title 10 U.S.C. permitting the disclosure of the FEHB Program 
eligibility information for DoD TRS and TRR Program eligibility 
purposes.
    2. The proposed match notice, as required by section 552(a)(e)(12) 
of title 10 U.S.C., announcing an agency's intent to conduct computer 
matching for verification of FEHB Program eligibility for determining 
eligibility for TRS and TRR Program.

I. Verification and Opportunity To Contest Findings

    1. Verification. The RCs, in support of OASD(RA), are responsible 
for resolving FEHB Program eligibility based on the data provided by 
DMDC from the USPS Payroll reply file where inconsistencies exist. Any 
discrepancies as furnished by USPS Payroll, or developed as a result of 
the match, will be independently investigated and verified by the RCs, 
in support of OASD(RA), prior to any adverse action being taken against 
the individual.
    2. Opportunity to Contest Findings. Based on the DoD policy the RCs 
agree to provide written notice to each individual whom DoD believes is 
no longer eligible for the TRS or the TRR Program based on the USPS 
Payroll file match. If the individual fails to terminate coverage or 
notify the RC that the information is not accurate within 30 days from 
the date of the notice, DoD will forward the information to the RC 
Program Manager for final resolution of the TRS or the TRR enrollment.

J. Retention and Disposition of Identifiable Records

    USPS Payroll will retain all personally identifiable records 
received from DMDC only for the period of time required for any 
processing related to the matching program. USPS Payroll will delete 
the DMDC finder file upon completion of the match. The electronic data 
provided as part of the matching program will remain the property of 
the agency furnishing the files and will be destroyed after the 
matching program is completed, but not more than 90 days after receipt 
of the electronic data except for those records that must be retained 
in the individual's permanent case file in order to meet evidentiary 
requirements. In any such case, the data is deleted once it is no 
longer needed. Destruction will be accomplished by shredding, burning 
or electronic erasure.
    As soon as set up processing for the next match has been completed 
and any duplicated hits identified, the information generated through 
the match will be destroyed unless the information must be retained to 
meet evidential requirements.

K. Security Procedures

    DoD and USPS Payroll will safeguard information provided under this 
agreement as follows:
    1. Each agency shall establish appropriate administrative, 
technical, and physical safeguards to assure the security and 
confidentiality of records and to protect against any anticipated 
threats or hazard to their security or integrity which could result in 
substantial harm, embarrassment, inconvenience, or unfairness to any 
individual on whom information is maintained.
    2. Access to the records matched and to any records created by the 
match will be restricted only to those authorized employees and 
officials who need it to perform their official duties in connection 
with the uses of the information authorized in this agreement.
    3. The records matched and any records created by the match will be 
stored in an area that is physically safe from access by unauthorized 
persons during duty hours as well as non-duty hours or when not in use.
    4. The records matched, and any records created by the match, will 
be processed under the immediate supervision and control of authorized 
personnel, to protect the confidentiality of the records in such a way 
that

[[Page 35436]]

unauthorized persons cannot retrieve any such records by means of 
computer, remote terminal or other means.
    5. All personnel who will have access to the records exchanged and 
to any records created by this exchange are advised of the confidential 
nature of the information, the safeguards required to protect the 
information and the civil and criminal sanctions for noncompliance 
contained in applicable Federal Laws.
    6. USPS Payroll and DMDC may make onsite inspections, and may make 
other provisions to ensure that each agency is maintaining adequate 
safeguards.
    The Data Integrity Boards (DIB) of USPS and DoD reserve the right 
to monitor compliance of systems security requirements, including, if 
warranted, the right to make onsite inspections for purposes of 
auditing compliance, during the life of this Agreement, or its 12 month 
extension period.

L. Records Usage, Duplication and Re-Disclosure Restrictions

    1. The matching files exchanged under this agreement remain the 
property of the providing agency and as described in Section J.
    2. The data exchanged under this agreement will be used and 
accessed only for the purpose of determining eligibility for premium 
based TRICARE health plan such as the TRS and TRR Programs.
    3. Neither DoD nor USPS will extract information from the 
electronic data files concerning the individuals that are described 
therein for any purpose not stated in this agreement.
    4. Except as provided in this agreement, neither DoD nor USPS will 
duplicate or disseminate the data produced without the disclosing 
agency's permission. Neither agency shall give such permission unless 
the re-disclosure is required by law or essential to the conduct of the 
matching program. In such cases, DoD and USPS will specify in writing 
what records are being disclosed and the reasons that justify such 
disclosure.

M. Records Accuracy Assessments

    DMDC estimates that at least 99% of the information in the finder 
file is accurate based on their operational experience. USPS Payroll is 
a highly reliable source of statistical data on the Postal Service 
workforce. However, accuracy and completeness of each data element 
within the individual records that comprise this aggregate are not 
conclusive. Findings emanating from individual records warrant further 
examination and verification as to its accuracy, timeliness, and 
completeness with the data subject.

N. Reimbursements and Funding

    Expenses incurred by this data exchange will not involve any 
payments or reimbursements between USPS and DoD.

O. Approval and Duration of Agreement

    1. This matching agreement, as signed by representatives of both 
agencies and approved by the respective agency's Data Integrity Boards 
(DIB), shall be valid for a period of 18 months from the effective date 
of the agreement.
    2. When this agreement is approved and signed by the Chairpersons 
of the respective DIBs, the USPS, as the recipient agency, will submit 
the agreement and the proposed public notice of the match as 
attachments in duplicate via a transmittal letter to OMB and Congress 
for review. The time period for review begins as of the date of the 
transmittal letter.
    3. USPS will forward the public notice of the proposed matching 
program for publication in the Federal Register, in accordance with 
section 552(a)(e)(12) of title 5 U.S.C., the transmittal letter to OMB 
and Congress. The matching notice will clearly identify the record 
systems and category of records being used and state that the program 
is subject to review by the OMB and Congress. A copy of the published 
notice shall be provided to the DoD.
    4. The effective date of the matching agreement and date when 
matching may actually begin shall be at the expiration of the 40 day 
review period for OMB and Congress, or 30 days after publication of the 
matching notice in the Federal Register, whichever is later. The 
parties to this agreement may assume OMB and Congressional concurrence 
if no comments are received within 40 days of the date of the 
transmittal letter. Both the 40 day OMB and Congressional review 
period, and the mandatory 30 day public comment period for the Federal 
Register publication of the notice will run concurrently.
    5. This agreement may be renewed for 12 months after the initial 
agreement period as long as the statutory requirement for the data 
match exists, subject to the Privacy Act, including certification by 
the participating agencies to the responsible DIBs that:
    a. The matching program will be conducted without change, and
    b. The matching program has been conducted in compliance with the 
original agreement.
    6. This agreement may be modified at any time by a written 
modification from either agency that satisfies both parties and is 
approved by the DIB of each agency.
    7. This agreement may be terminated at any time with the consent of 
both parties. If either party does not want to continue this program, 
it should notify the other party of its intention not to continue at 
least 90 days before the end of the then current period of the 
agreement. Either party may unilaterally terminate this agreement upon 
written notice to the other party requesting termination, in which case 
the termination shall be effective 90 days after the date of the notice 
or at a later date specified in the notice provided the expiration date 
does not exceed the original or the extended completion date of the 
match.

P. Waiver of Cost Benefit Analysis

    The purpose of this matching agreement is to verify eligibility of 
Service member enrolling or enrolled in the TRS or the TRR Programs. By 
statute, such coverage may be provided if the person is not eligible 
for the FEHB Program. FEHB Program eligibility can only be obtained 
from USPS, and without this information, a determination of continued 
eligibility cannot be made. Matching must occur regardless of the 
associated cost or anticipated benefits. Accordingly, the cost benefit 
is waived.
