{"abstract":"Pursuant to the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, as amended, and the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Guidance on the statute, HUD is announcing a new matching program involving comparisons between income data provided by applicants or participants in HUD's assisted housing programs and applicants for FEMA disaster assistance. The matching program will be carried out to detect inappropriate (excessive or insufficient) housing assistance under the National Housing Act, the United States Housing Act of 1937, section 101 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1965, the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996, and the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998. The matching program will be accomplished by comparing income, family size, family address, family identity, and benefit data for individuals participating in HUD's assisted housing programs and subsidized multifamily housing programs with disaster emergency assistance data maintained by FEMA in its systems of records known as Disaster Assistance Recovery Files (FEMA/REG-2), last published at 69 FR 65615 (November 15, 2004). Specifically, HUD will compare the FEMA identity, income, family size, and benefit data to tenant-reported data included in HUD's system of records known as: (1) the Tenant Housing Assistance and Contract Verification Data (HUD/H-11), last published at 62 FR 11909 (March 13, 1997); and (2) the Public and Indian Housing Information Center (HUD/PIH-4), last published at 67 FR 20986 (April 29, 2002). The tenant comparisons will identify, based on criteria established by HUD, tenants whose incomes, family size, address, or benefit levels, etc. that require further verification to determine if the tenants received appropriate levels of rental assistance. The program also provides for the verification of the matching results and the initiation of appropriate administrative or legal actions.","action":"Notice of a computer matching program between the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT","name":"Housing and Urban Development Department","id":228,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/housing-and-urban-development-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/228","parent_id":null,"slug":"housing-and-urban-development-department"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2006/06/27/E6-10070.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"71 FR 36540","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective Date: Computer matching is expected to begin July 27, 2006 unless comments are received which will result in a contrary determination, or 40 days after a copy of the underlying matching agreement is signed, approved by HUD and FEMA Data Integrity Boards, and sent to both Houses of Congress, whichever is later.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. FR-4922-N-18"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[],"agency_name":"HUD","documents":[{"comment_count":0,"comment_start_date":"2006-06-27","updated_at":"2025-05-22T04:32:02.164-04:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/HUD-2006-0203-0001","allow_late_comments":false,"id":"HUD-2006-0203-0001","comment_end_date":"2006-07-28","regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":0,"id":"HUD-2006-0203","title":"FR–4922–N–18\r\nPrivacy Act of 1974; Notice of Matching Program: Matching Tenant Data in Assisted Housing Programs"}],"document_number":"E6-10070","effective_on":"2006-07-27","end_page":36542,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2006/06/27/E6-10070.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2006/06/27/E6-10070/privacy-act-of-1974-notice-of-matching-program-matching-tenant-data-in-assisted-housing-programs","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/E6-10070?publication_date=2006-06-27","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2006-06-27/E6-10070/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":22,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 18:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2006-06-27/pdf/E6-10070.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2006-06-27","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2006/06/27/E6-10070.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[],"comments_count":0,"agency_id":"HUD","comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=HUD-2006-0203","supporting_documents_count":0,"docket_id":"HUD-2006-0203","document_id":"HUD-2006-0203-0001","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"FR–4922–N–18\r\nPrivacy Act of 1974; Notice of Matching Program: Matching Tenant Data in Assisted Housing Programs","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2025-05-22T08:55:20Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":36540,"subtype":null,"title":"Privacy Act of 1974; Notice of Matching Program: Matching Tenant Data in Assisted Housing Programs","toc_doc":"Privacy Act; computer matching program","toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":71}
