[Docket No. FEMA–2022–0005]

Privacy Act of 1974; System of
Records
AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Management Agency, Department of
Homeland Security.
ACTION: Notice of a modified system of
records.
SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to
modify and reissue a current DHS
system of records titled ‘‘Department of
Homeland Security/Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA)-004 NonDisaster Grant Management Information
Files System Records.’’ This system of
records allows DHS/FEMA to collect
and maintain records from points of
contact for state, local, tribal, territorial,
and other entities applying for FEMA
grant programs that are not disaster
related. FEMA collects grant
management information to determine
eligibility for DHS grant awards for nondisaster grants and for the issuance of
awarded funds. DHS/FEMA is updating
this system of records to revise and add
routine uses, as well as update the
retention schedule. This updated system
will be included in DHS’s inventory of
record systems.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
August 10, 2022. This modified system
will be effective upon publication. New
or modified routine uses will be
effective August 10, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, DHS/FEMA proposes to modify
an existing DHS system of records titled,
‘‘DHS/FEMA–004 Non-Disaster Grant
Management Information Files System
of Records’’. The goal of FEMA’s nondisaster 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 cyber-attacks. 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,
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).
FEMA is updating this System of
Records Notice to reflect the following
changes: Routine Use E is being
modified, and Routine Use F is being
added to conform to Office of
Management and Budget Memorandum
M–17–12 regarding breach notification
and investigation. FEMA is also
updating this System of Records Notice
to clarify the updated retention
schedule. The National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA)
General Records Schedule (GRS) has
been updated since this notice was last
published. These records now follow
General Records Schedule 1.2, Item 10
and Item 21. Furthermore, this notice
includes non-substantive changes to
simplify the formatting and text of the
previously published 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 codifies 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

VerDate Sep<11>2014

16:48 Jul 08, 2022

Jkt 256001

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. Additionally, the Judicial
Redress Act (JRA) provides covered
persons with a statutory right to make
requests for access and amendment to
covered records, as defined by the
Judicial Redress Act, along with judicial
review for denials of such requests. In
addition, the Judicial Redress Act
prohibits disclosures of covered records,
except as otherwise permitted by the
Privacy Act.
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.

DHS/FEMA maintains records at
DHS/FEMA Headquarters in
Washington, DC, and DHS/FEMA
regional field offices. Additionally,
DHS/FEMA maintains records in FEMA
information technology systems such as
the FEMA Non-Disaster (ND) Grants and
Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG)
systems.

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:

Individuals seeking access to and
notification of any record contained in
this system of records, or seeking to
contest its content, may submit a
request in writing to the Chief Privacy
Officer and FEMA’s Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) Officer whose
contact information can be found at
https://www.dhs.gov/foia-contactinformation. If an individual believes
more than one component maintains
Privacy Act records concerning him or
her, the individual may submit the
request to the Chief Privacy Officer and
Chief Freedom of Information Act
Officer, Department of Homeland
Security, Washington, DC 20528–0655,
or electronically at https://
www.dhs.gov/dhs-foia-privacy-actrequest-submission-form. Even if neither
the Privacy Act nor the Judicial Redress
Act provide a right of access, certain

VerDate Sep<11>2014

16:48 Jul 08, 2022

Jkt 256001

records about you may be available
under the Freedom of Information Act.
When an individual is seeking records
about himself or herself from this
system of records or any other
Departmental system of records, the
individual’s request must conform with
the Privacy Act regulations set forth in
6 CFR part 5. The individual must first
verify his/her identity, meaning that the
individual must provide his/her full
name, current address, and date and
place of birth. The individual must sign
the request, and the individual’s
signature must either be notarized or
submitted under 28 U.S.C. 1746, a law
that permits statements to be made
under penalty of perjury as a substitute
for notarization. An individual may
obtain more information about this
process at http://www.dhs.gov/foia. In
addition, the individual should:
• Explain why he or she believes the
Department would have information
being requested;
• Identify which component(s) of the
Department he or she believes may have
the information;
• Specify when the individual
believes the records would have been
created; and
• Provide any other information that
will help the FOIA staff determine
which DHS component agency may
have responsive records.
If the request is seeking records
pertaining to another living individual,
the request must include an
authorization from the individual whose
record is being requested, authorizing
the release to the requester.
Without the above information, the
component(s) may not be able to
conduct an effective search, and the
individual’s request may be denied due
to lack of specificity or lack of
compliance with applicable regulations.
CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:

For records covered by the Privacy
Act or covered Judicial Redress Act
records, individuals may make a request
for amendment or correction of a record
of the Department about the individual
by writing directly to the Department
component that maintains the record,
unless the record is not subject to
amendment or correction. The request
should identify each particular record in
question, state the amendment or
correction desired, and state why the
individual believes that the record is not
accurate, relevant, timely, or complete.
The individual may submit any
documentation that would be helpful. If
the individual believes that the same
record is in more than one system of
records, the request should state that
and be addressed to each component
