The only reference to the TO-220 tab connection for the LP3876 regulator on page 2 of the data sheet, under Connection Diagrams, indicates the TAB is GND. I need to confirm that the TAB is in fact GND for my design.

On TO-220-5, Pin 3 (center pin) is electically connected to the TAB. Use either, or both, as GND, there is no electrical difference.
