Abstract: 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.
