SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice supersedes a similar notice
published in the Federal Register on July 5, 2016, at 81 FR 43629. The
Computer Matching program seeks to set forth the terms and conditions
governing disclosures of records, information, or data (collectively
referred to herein as ``data'') made by DOJ to HUD. This data is
obtained by DOJ and pertains to delinquent debt that individuals owe to
DOJ. The purpose of its transmittal is to update the Credit Alert
Verification Reporting System (CAIVRS), which is a computer information
system maintained by HUD. The data match will allow for the
prescreening of applicants for Federal direct loans or federally
guaranteed loans, for the purpose of determining the applicant's credit
worthiness, by ascertaining whether the applicant is delinquent or in
default on a loan owed directly to or guaranteed by the Federal
Government. The terms and conditions of this Agreement ensure that DOJ
makes such disclosures of data, and that HUD uses such disclosed data,
in accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as
amended by the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act (CMPPA) of
1988, 5 U.S.C. 552a.
