SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

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 update, rename,
and reissue a current DHS system of
records titled, ‘‘DHS/FEMA—004
Grant Management Information Files
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) update the
system of records to include only nondisaster grant programs and FEMA
assistance to state, local, tribal,
territorial, or other entities; and 2)
rename the system of records notice to
DHS/FEMA—004 Non-Disaster Grant
Management Information Files System
of Records.
The goal of FEMA’s non-disaster
related grant programs is to provide
funding to enhance the capacity of state,
local, tribal, and territorial emergency
responders to prevent, respond to, and
recover from a weapon of mass
destruction terrorism incident involving
chemical, biological, radiological,
nuclear, explosive devices, and cyberattacks. FEMA’s non-disaster grant
programs currently provide funds to all
50 states, the District of Columbia, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico,
American Samoa, the Commonwealth of
Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, the
U.S. Virgin Islands, certain types of nonprofit organizations, and some private
entities. FEMA non-disaster related
grant programs are directed at a broad
spectrum of state and local emergency
responders, including firefighters,

PO 00000

Frm 00083

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

emergency medical services, emergency
management agencies, law enforcement,
and public officials. The source of the
information collected by FEMA
generally comes from state, local, tribal
and territorial governments, port
authorities, transit authorities, nonprofit organizations, and private
companies seeking grant funding. The
nature of data collected by FEMA
includes basic public information about
the agency or organization, the
organization’s financial information,
and the organization’s demonstrated
need for the non-disaster grant funds.
Many of FEMA’s non-disaster related
grant programs implement objectives
addressed in the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act; a series of post 9/11
laws as outlined in the Authorities
Section; the post-Katrina Emergency
Management Reform Act (PKEMPRA) of
2006; and Homeland Security
Presidential Directives (HSPD).
As part of the biennial review process
for DHS/FEMA systems or records, DHS
has updated and reissued this system of
records as described below:
First, DHS/FEMA changed the system
name to reflect the focus of the system
of records on non-disaster-related
grants. Second, DHS/FEMA streamlined
the legal authorities to remove the
reference to the National Flood
Insurance Act and to add authorities
under the Implementing
Recommendations of the 9/11
Commission Act of 2007. Third, the
purpose removes references to FEMA
disaster related grants such as Public
Assistance because these grants are part
of the DHS/FEMA–009 Hazard
Mitigation, Disaster Public Assistance,
and Disaster Loan Programs system of
records. Fourth, DHS/FEMA modified
routine use (A) to include former
employees of DHS and to eliminate
redundant language; updated routine
use (C) to specify that information may
be shared with the General Services
Administration (GSA); and modified
routine uses (D) and (E) for clarification
and non-substantive grammatical
changes. Lastly, DHS/FEMA modified
the record source categories to
specifically reference the points of
contact for the respective grant
applicant organizations as a source of
the information described in this notice.
Consistent with DHS’s informationsharing mission, information stored in
the DHS/FEMA–004 Non-Disaster
Grant Management Information Files
System of Records may be shared with
other DHS components that have a need
to know the information to carry out
their national security, law enforcement,
immigration, intelligence, or other

homeland security functions. In
addition, information may be shared
with appropriate federal, state, local,
tribal, territorial, foreign, or
international government agencies
consistent with the routine uses set
forth in this system of records notice.
This updated system will be included
in DHS’s inventory of record systems.
II. Privacy Act
The Privacy Act embodies fair
information practice principles in a
statutory framework governing the
means by 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.
Below is the description of the DHS/
FEMA–004 Non-Disaster Grant
Management Information Files System
of Records.
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r),
DHS has provided a report of this
system of records to the Office of
Management and Budget and to
Congress.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the DHS/CBP
proposes to update and reissue a current
DHS system of records titled,
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), United States Customs and
Border Protection (CBP)–005 Advanced
Passenger Information System (APIS)
System of Records. The Aviation and
Transportation Security Act of 2001 and
the Enhanced Border Security and Visa
Entry Reform Act of 2002 provide
specific authority for the mandatory
collection of certain information about
all passenger and crewmembers that
arrive in or depart from the United
States via private aircraft, commercial
air, or vessel carrier. CBP requires that
carriers collect and submit information
is required to be collected and
submitted to CBP as APIS data pursuant
to existing regulations. Additionally,
rail and bus carriers may provide
voluntarily similar, information
pertaining to their passengers and crew
who arrive in or depart from the United
States. References to the types of
information that are required to be
submitted in the air or vessel
environment also pertain to the types of
information that may be voluntarily
provided in the rail and bus
environments.
The information that CBP requires
carriers to collect and submit to APIS
(as well as information that may be
provided voluntarily by bus and rail
carriers) can be found on routine
arrival/departure documents that
passengers and crewmembers must
provide to CBP when entering or
departing the United States. APIS
