(7) MPGF Monitoring and Operating 

Conditions. 

(a) Based on the results of the criteria 

mentioned above in this section, sources 

must make recommendations to the 

Agency on the type of monitoring and 

operating conditions necessary for the 

MPGF to demonstrate equivalent 

reductions in emissions as compared to 

flares complying with the requirements 

at 40 CFR 60.18 and 40 CFR 63.11, 

taking into consideration a control 

scheme designed to handle highly 

variable flows and waste gas 

compositions. 

We anticipate this framework will 

enable the Agency to review and 

approve future AMEL requests for 

MPGF installations in a more 

expeditious timeframe. We note, 

however, that future AMEL requests are 

still subject to public notice and 

comment. 

Dated: April 11, 2016.

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of new Privacy Act 

system of records. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Office of 

Land and Emergency Management is 

giving notice that it proposes to create 

a new system of records pursuant to the 

provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 

U.S.C. 552a). This system of records 

contains information of individuals 

which is collected in the course of 

response and environmental assessment 

actions, including actions taken under a 

variety of EPA authorities. The 

information maintained under this 

SORN is needed to support EPA’s 

decision making process on what 

actions may be necessary to address 

potential environmental impacts at 

residential properties, including 

necessary remediation activities. This 

information is collected to ensure an 

appropriate and cohesive response to 

situations requiring EPA response 

activities and to protect the health and 

welfare of residents potentially affected 

by an environmental or public health 

emergency, and maintained so to be 

accessible as needed for coordination of 

environmental response activities. This 

information may include individuals’ 

contact information, information related 

to their address or place of residence, 

correspondence, and related 

information collected in the course of 

sampling and cleanup work. 

DATES: Persons wishing to comment on 

this system of records notice must do so 

by May 31, 2016. If no comments are 

received, the system of records notice 

will become effective by May 31, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

is creating a Privacy Act system of 

records to allow the agency to maintain 

records that are necessary to conduct 

environmental assessments at 

residential properties in order to 

respond to emergency situations and 

during environmental assessment 

activities conducted by EPA under 

many different programs including 

Superfund, the Resource Conservation 

and Recovery Act (RCRA), and the Safe 

Drinking Water Act (SDWA). This 

system of records promotes 

transparency, efficiency, and improved 

environmental and health outcomes by 

encompassing all records associated 

with EPA residential assessment work, 

including the database repositories, 

field documentation, and analytical 

reports. Over the course of these 

assessments EPA is often required to 

support or work closely with state and 

local agencies or federal agencies in 

responses to evaluate the health and 

welfare of affected communities. EPA’s 

environmental assessment activities at 

residential properties include: 


jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 77 / Thursday, April 21, 2016 / Notices 23489 

Obtaining and tracking legal access to 

the properties; gathering environmental 

data through sampling activities, such 

as sampling air, water, soil, or other 

environmental media at sites; collecting 

information about pipelines, building 

materials, and other residential 

infrastructure at residences; and 

collecting residential contact 

information such as name, address, and 

phone number to allow response teams 

to correspond with individuals affected 

by environmental contamination. 

The types of data collected in 

environmental assessments include 

names of residents; address information; 

phone number or other contact 

information; test results from 

environmental sampling; information 

about the building structure, such as the 

age of the structure, information about 

the service lines, plumbing and pipe 

information, and building materials in 

the structure; information about the 

length of residence or ownership of the 

structure; and geographic information 

system (GIS) coordinates. This 

information is collected to ensure an 

appropriate and cohesive response to 

emergency situations, to protect the 

health and welfare of residents 

potentially affected by an environmental 

emergency or environmental response 

situation, and to ensure that the data are 

accessible as needed for coordination of 

response activities. 

Information and data collected in 

environmental assessments will 

generally be stored in an agencyapproved electronic database, which 

will be managed by EPA system 

administrators. Other associated records 

may also be stored in other electronic or 

paper formats, such as Microsoft Excel 

spreadsheets, Microsoft Word 

documents or tables, or in file folders. 

All electronic files are stored on 

government furnished equipment (GFE) 

until they are ultimately sent to the 

appropriate agency records repository 

for storage pursuant to their appropriate 

record schedule. All GFE used for the 

purposes of residential assessments are 

secured according to EPA’s security 

policies which include password 

protection and local encryption. During 

the course of the assessment records 

may also be temporarily stored off site 

in secure facilities such as incident 

command posts or EPA field offices 

which are maintained and secured by 

EPA staff. 

The system will be maintained by the 

EPA’s Office of Emergency Response in 

the Office of Land and Emergency 

Management (‘‘OLEM’’), 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Mail Code 5101 

T, Washington, DC 20460. 

Information maintained pursuant to 

this SORN may be located at EPA 

Headquarters Offices or at EPA Regional 

Offices or at field offices established as 

part of the residential assessment field 

work, depending upon the location 

where the assessment is conducted or 

where computer resources are located. 

Databases may be hosted at the EPA’s 

National Computer Center at Research 

Triangle Park, North Carolina or at 

cloud hosting procured and managed by 

EPA. 

Records protected under the Privacy 

Act are subject to agency-wide security 

requirements. For information in agency 

databases, privacy is maintained by 

limiting access to the database that 

contains the personal information. 

Access to the database is limited to 

individuals designated as System 

Administrators, Remedial Project 

Managers, Data Sponsors, On-Scene 

Coordinators, Information Management 

Coordinators, Budget Coordinators, 

Regional or Headquarters Attorneys, 

Regional or Headquarters Managers, 

Data Entry Support Staff, Support 

Contractors, and any other EPA staff 

with assigned responsibilities that 

require access to the data. In appropriate 

circumstances, limited access to the 

database systems may be provided to 

state and local public health authorities 

in conformity with federal, state, and 

local laws when necessary to protect the 

public health or safety.

PURPOSE(S): 

The EPA is creating a Privacy Act 

system of records to allow the agency to 

maintain records that are necessary to 

conduct environmental assessments at 

residential properties in order to 

respond to emergency situations and 

during environmental assessment 

activities conducted by EPA under 

many different programs including 

Superfund, RCRA, and the SDWA. This 

system of records promotes 

transparency, efficiency, and improved 

environmental and health outcomes by 

encompassing all of the records 

associated with EPA residential 

assessment work, including the database 

repositories, field documentation and 

analytical reports. Over the course of 

these assessments EPA is often required 

to support or work closely with state 

and local agencies or federal agencies to 

evaluate the health and welfare of 

affected communities. EPA’s 

environmental assessment activities at 

residential properties include: 

Obtaining and tracking legal access to 

the properties; gathering environmental 

data through sampling activities, such 

as sampling air, water, soil, or other 

environmental media at sites; collecting 

structural information such as the age of 

the structure, information about the 

service lines, plumbing and pipe 

information, and building materials in 

the structure, information about the 

length of residence or ownership of the 

structure, and GIS coordinates; and 

collecting residential contact 

information such as name, address, and 

phone number to allow response teams 

to correspond with individuals affected 

by environmental contamination. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

Members of the public such as 

residents, property owners, property 

managers, and other individuals who 

may be associated with a property 

whose information needs to be collected 

as part of EPA’s environmental 

assessment and response activities. In 

addition, EPA staff, contractors, or 

grantees or any other individuals 

engaged in response activities may have 


jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
23490 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 77 / Thursday, April 21, 2016 / Notices 

their information in the system such as 

name, office address, and contact 

information to facilitate assessment and 

response activities. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

The types of data collected in 

environmental assessments include 

names of residents; names of property 

owners; tenant information; names of 

property managers address information; 

phone number or other contact 

information; test results from 

environmental sampling; information 

about residential structures such as the 

age of the structure, information about 

the service lines, plumbing and pipe 

information, and building materials in 

the structure, information about the 

length of residence or ownership of the 

structure, and GIS coordinates. 

Other site-specific data elements may 

also be collected if needed for the 

environmental assessment or emergency 

response activity. These data will be 

maintained in a database where they 

may be filtered or searched on 

individual data elements. 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

Records within this system of records 

are obtained by EPA employees, 

contractors, or grantees collecting 

environmental assessment data and 

sample information at residential sites, 

or from state or local governments who 

have collected environmental 

assessment information as part of their 

response authorities. Environmental 

assessment data is received from 

interviews with residents, property 

owners, property managers, and other 

individuals who may be associated with 

a property, local public records such as 

property tax data, from inspections of 

residential properties, from residential 

property records or other public records, 

and from other on-site sources such as 

EPA or contracted laboratories and EPA 

or contracted GIS systems. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

General routine uses A, D, E, F, H, K, 

and L apply to this system. Records may 

also be disclosed to public health 

authorities in conformity with federal, 

state, and local laws when necessary to 

protect the public health or safety, or to 

federal, state, or local governmental 

agencies when it is determined that a 

response by that agency is more 

appropriate than a response by the EPA. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, RETAINING, AND DISPOSING OF

RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

• Storage: Information collected in 

environmental assessments will 

generally be stored in an agencyapproved electronic database, which 

will be managed by EPA system 

administrators. Other associated records 

may also be stored in other electronic or 

paper formats, such as Microsoft Excel 

spreadsheets, Microsoft Word 

documents or tables, or in file folders. 

All electronic files are stored on 

government furnished equipment (GFE) 

until they are ultimately sent to the 

appropriate Agency records repository 

for storage pursuant to their appropriate 

record schedule. All GFE used for the 

purposes of residential assessments are 

secured according to EPA’s security 

policies which include password 

protection and local encryption. During 

the course of the assessment records 

may also be temporarily stored off site 

in secure facilities such as incident 

command posts or EPA field offices 

which are maintained and secured by 

EPA staff. 

• Retrievability: Information may be 

retrieved by any collected data element, 

such as a resident’s name or address, or 

information may be retrieved by GIS 

coordinates or by identifying numbers 

assigned to a person, sampling location, 

or residence. 

• Safeguards: Electronic records are 

maintained in a secure, password 

protected electronic system. Paper files 

are maintained in locked file cabinets 

when not in use by EPA emergency 

response staff. All records are 

maintained in secure, access-controlled 

areas or buildings. 

• Retention and Disposal: Records 

maintained in this system are subject to 

record schedule 1039, which is still 

being finalized.

number (202) 566–0370. 

Because systems under this SORN 

may be located at Headquarters Offices 

or at EPA Regional Offices, depending 

upon the location where the emergency 

response is conducted, there may be 

additional specified system managers 

depending upon the nature and location 

of the response. These systems may be 

managed by Regional personnel or 

temporarily stored off site in secure 

facilities such as incident command 

posts or EPA field offices which are 

maintained and secured by EPA staff.
