OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
Designation of Database to the Do Not Pay Working System
AGENCY: Office of Management and Budget.
ACTION: Notice of designation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 (PIIA) authorizes the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to designate databases for
inclusion in the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) Do Not Pay
Working System (Do Not Pay). PIIA requires OMB to provide public notice
and an opportunity for comment prior to designating databases. In
fulfillment of this requirement, OMB published a Notice of Proposed
Designation on June 24, 2025, for the U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) Benefits Enterprise Platform (BEP) database for use in the
Do Not Pay Working System with the Public Assistance Reporting
Information System (PARIS). OMB received two comments during the 15-day
comment period for this notice. One of the comments addressed the
substance of the proposal; the other did not. The comment addressing
the substance of the proposal included concerns about the level of
transparency of related privacy and data stewardship practices.
Considering privacy risks is part of the database designation
process, and OMB provided information about these considerations in the
notice of proposed designation. In addition to discussing the privacy
risk assessment conducted by Fiscal Service, the section of the notice
on ``Privacy restrictions and risks associated with specific data''
provided information about the data involved; the roles of each
involved entity; notice and opportunity to respond if a State Public
Assistance Agency intends to reduce, suspend, terminate, or deny
benefits as a result of information provided by Fiscal Service; and
efforts for data

minimization. The section of the notice under the heading ``Do Not Pay
Working System Privacy, Security, and Legal Implications'' discusses
privacy-related measures that Treasury reports apply to Do Not Pay,
such as rules of behavior, dedicated resources for a privacy program,
internal controls, a data usage governance process, security-related
risk mitigation measures, and identity management safeguards. Finally,
the section of the notice under the heading ``Statutory or other
limitations on the use and sharing of specific data'' addresses the
Privacy Act of 1974, a matching agreement, and a memorandum of
understanding, which impose certain limitations on the use and sharing
of the data. Additional information about Treasury's privacy and civil
liberties impact assessment for Do Not Pay is available on Treasury's
website, on the Do Not Pay Privacy Program web page.
Given the information summarized above, OMB determined that the
designation should proceed. Effective immediately, OMB designates the
BEP database for use in Do Not Pay with PARIS. Through this final
designation, BEP will only be available for use with PARIS and by State
Public Assistance Agencies; it will not be available for use by other
Do Not Pay users.
