§ 310.110 - OMB matching guidelines.

The OMB has issued special guidelines to be followed in programs that match the personal records in the computerized data bases of two or more federal agencies by computer (see appendix I). These guidelines are intended to strike a balance between the interest of the government in maintaining the integrity of federal programs and the need to protect individual privacy expectations. They do not authorize matching programs as such and each matching program must be justified individually in accordance with the OMB guidelines.
