The purpose of the collection is for
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to obtain
information from all persons applying for access to any FEMA
controlled facility through the use of two Facility Access Request
forms: FEMA Form 121-3-1-3A and 121-3-1-3B. This information is
used to create a profile in the Physical Access Control System
(PACS). The collection of personally identifiable information (PII)
is used to authenticate the identity of FEMA employees and
contractors, and visitors who request and are granted entry
authorization. FEMA uses this collected information to run an
additional background check through the National Crime Information
Center (NCIC). NCIC is a computerized database administered by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that provides ready access to
law enforcement agencies for making inquiries about an individual’s
criminal history. This check verifies that an individual does not
have any outstanding warrants for criminal activities indicating a
risk to the Department of Homeland Security. This information
collection is further used to contact individuals in the event of
an emergency.
