SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) Federal
Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) proposes to consolidate,
update, and rename a current system of
records titled, ‘‘DHS/FEMA–009 Hazard
Mitigation Assistance Grant Programs
System of Records.’’ As part of the
Department’s process for reviewing and
streamlining compliance documentation
and to increase transparency, DHS/
FEMA is proposing to: (1) Consolidate
the DHS/FEMA–005 Temporary and
Permanent Relocation and Personal and
Real Property Acquisition and
Relocation Files System of Records into
the DHS/FEMA–009 Hazard Mitigation
Assistance Grant Programs System of
Records in order to form one
comprehensive system of records for the
Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA)
grant programs; (2) update the system of
records to include all public assistance
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:29 Mar 21, 2014
Jkt 232001
and disaster grant and disaster loan
programs as these involve the provision
of FEMA assistance through state, local,
tribal, or other entities, as well as the
collection of similar information; and
(3) rename the system of records notice
to DHS/FEMA–009 Hazard Mitigation,
Disaster Public Assistance, and Disaster
Loan Programs System of Records.
In making these updates DHS/FEMA
is updating the following sections of the
systems of records notice: (1) System
name, to reflect the addition of public
assistance disaster grant and loan
programs; (2) system location, to
include the location of systems related
to all public assistance disaster grant
and loan programs; (3) categories of
individuals, to include individuals that
benefit from FEMA’s disaster public
assistance and disaster loan programs;
(4) categories of records, to include data
elements collected throughout the
lifecycle of all disaster public assistance
and disaster loan programs, including
the appeals or arbitration process and
other forms used by grantees, as well as
responses related to customer service
assessments that FEMA collects from a
sample of public assistance recipients;
(5) authority for maintenance, to include
legal authorities to collect information
under all disaster public assistance and
loan programs and legal authorities
related to FEMA’s requirement to
perform customer service assessments;
(6) purpose, to include all disasterrelated grant, loan, and public
assistance programs to facilitate FEMA’s
efforts to assess the customer service it
provides to those receiving FEMA
assistance, to ensure proper delivery of
service, to prevent duplication of
benefits, and to recoup improper
payment; (7) routine uses, to include
additional routine uses for public
assistance disaster grant and loan
programs and to include information
sharing with tribal entities and
voluntary organizations; (8)
retrievability, to add clarity and to
include additional personal identifiers
by which information may be retrieved;
and (9) retention and disposal, to
include retention schedules of all
records collected through disasterrelated grant, loan, and other public
assistance programs, as well as retention
schedules for the public assistance
customer service assessments.
FEMA’s mission includes preparing
for, responding to, recovering from, and
mitigating the nation from all hazards
and disasters. To accomplish this,
FEMA administers disaster-related
grant, loan, and public assistance
programs through state, local, tribal, or
other entities, who in turn provide aid
and assistance to citizens in need.
PO 00000
Frm 00084
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
FEMA is consolidating all disasterrelated grant, loan, and public
assistance programs under one SORN
because the assistance is administered
in a similar manner. A point of contact
(POC) from the state, local, tribal, or
other entity typically collects the
required information from the disaster
survivor in order to provide assistance
through these programs on behalf of
FEMA. There may be some instances
where FEMA collects the information
required by a program directly from the
disaster survivor; however, the
assistance is provided in consultation
with the state, local, tribal, or other
entities. Regardless of the source of
information, disaster survivor PII may
be maintained by FEMA under this
system of records to account for public
assistance issued to the individual,
prevent duplication of benefits, and
recoup any improper payment of public
assistance funds to the individual.
One of the disaster-related grant, loan,
and public assistance programs
administered through FEMA is the
public assistance (PA) grant program.
The PA program provides assistance to
state, tribal, and local governments, and
certain types of private nonprofit
organizations in order for communities
to quickly respond to and recover from
presidentially-declared major disasters
and/or emergencies. FEMA provides
supplemental federal disaster grant
assistance for activities such as debris
removal, emergency protective
measures, and the repair, replacement,
or restoration of disaster-damaged,
publicly owned facilities and the
facilities of certain private non-profit
(PNP) organizations through the PA
program. The PA program also includes
the Community Disaster Loan (CDL)
program, which provides funds to any
eligible local government in a
designated disaster area that has
suffered a substantial loss of tax or other
revenue. The jurisdiction must first
demonstrate a need for financial
assistance to perform a governmental
function.
FEMA has updated this system of
records to include all disaster-related
assistance programs, including the PA
program because the administration of
the grants program are similar to the
administration of PA programs and
because the information collection,
maintenance, and uses are consistent
with the HMA grant programs currently
covered by DHS/FEMA–009. Inclusion
of PA programs in this system of records
does not impact or change how HMA
information is collected and used.
FEMA HMA grant programs provide
funding for eligible mitigation activities
that reduce disaster losses, protect life
E:\FR\FM\24MRN1.SGM
24MRN1
WREIER-AVILES on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 56 / Monday, March 24, 2014 / Notices
and property from future disaster
damages, or that are in the best interest
of the National Flood Insurance Fund.
Through these assistance programs the
HMA grant programs provide funds to
eligible grantees to implement
mitigation measures or determinations
to reduce or eliminate the risk of future
damage to life and property from
hazards through state, local, tribal, or
other entities. Many HMA grant
programs provide funding for mitigation
measures or determinations that impact
property privately owned by individuals
such as retrofitting structures, elevating
structures, implementing structural
flood control projects, and constructing
safe rooms.
One of the mitigation activities
administered under the HMA grant
programs is the acquisition and
demolition or relocation of qualified
properties or structures. FEMA is
consolidating and including these
records in this updated system of
records because they were previously
covered by the DHS/FEMA–005
Temporary and Permanent Relocation
and Personal and Real Property
Acquisition and Relocation Files. In
certain areas determined by FEMA to be
at greater risk for disasters (i.e., flood
plain), individual property owners can
voluntarily apply for acquisition and
demolition or relocation grant assistance
though their local and state
governments. Since the acquisition and
relocation mitigation activity falls under
the overall HMA grant programs, FEMA
is consolidating and including this grant
assistance program (previously covered
by DHS/FEMA–005 Temporary and
Permanent Relocation and Personal and
Real Property Acquisition and
Relocation Files System of Records) into
this updated system of records.
Consistent with its mission, FEMA
may conduct customer service
assessments of PA recipients and collect
feedback to determine effectiveness of
the program and identify areas for
improvement.
This consolidation and update does
not impact the current PA grant or loan
programs, HMA grant programs, or other
disaster-related assistance program
operations or the information collection
that occur under the program. This
consolidation is solely an effort to
streamline FEMA’s documentation and
processes.
This consolidated and updated
system will be included in DHS’s
inventory of record systems.
II. Privacy Act
The Privacy Act embodies fair
information principles in a statutory
framework governing the means by
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:29 Mar 21, 2014
Jkt 232001
which federal government agencies
collect, maintain, use, and disseminate
individuals’ records. The Privacy Act
applies to information that is
maintained in a ‘‘system of records.’’ A
‘‘system of records’’ is a group of any
records under the control of an agency
from which information is retrieved by
the name of an individual or by some
identifying number, symbol, or other
identifying particular assigned to the
individual. In the Privacy Act, an
individual is defined to encompass U.S.
citizens and lawful permanent
residents. As a matter of policy, DHS
extends administrative Privacy Act
protections to all individuals when
systems of records maintain information
on U.S. citizens, lawful permanent
residents, and visitors.
