SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA 

Emergency Non-Congregate Sheltering 

during the COVID–19 Public Health 

Emergency (Interim) FP 104–009–18. 

This policy defines the framework, 

policy details, and requirements for 

determining eligible work and costs for 

sheltering in response to declarations as 

defined in the Robert T. Stafford Act for 

PA or the Fire Management Assistance 

Grant (FMAG) programs. FEMA 

provides Public Assistance (PA) funding 

to state, tribal, and territorial (STT) 

governments (aka PA Applicants) for 

costs related to emergency sheltering for 

survivors. Typically, sheltering occurs 

in facilities with large open spaces, such 

as schools, churches, community 

centers, armories, or other similar 

facilities rather than in non-congregate 

environments, which are locations 

where each individual or household has 

living space that offers some level of 

privacy (e.g., hotels, motels, casinos, 

dormitories, retreat camps, etc.). 

However, FEMA recognizes that 

sheltering operations during the 

COVID–19 Public Health Emergency 

may require STT’s to consider 

additional strategies to ensure that 

survivors are sheltered in a manner that 

does not increase the risk of exposure to 

or further transmission of COVID–19. 

FEMA will provide flexibility to STTs to 

take measures to safely conduct noncongregate sheltering activities. FEMA 

will encourage STTs operating noncongregate shelters to collect basic 

shelter resident data. If there is a 

subsequent Major Disaster Declaration 

that includes the Individual Assistance 

(IA) program, FEMA and STTs may 

begin a bi-lateral exchange of data to 

coordinate and expedite assistance to 

shelter residents. This data exchange 

will enable FEMA to share additional 

disaster survivor data on losses and 

needs to STT shelter managers 

facilitating a coordinated effort to 

provide resources to shelter residents. 

This data also provides STTs increased 

ability for shelter planning and shelter 

population management.

[Docket No. DHS–2020–0049] 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Homeland 

Security. 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, the U.S. 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) proposes to modify a current DHS 

system of records titled, ‘‘DHS/ALL–047 

Records Related to DHS Personnel, 

Long-Term Trainees, Contractors, and 

Visitors During a Declared Public Health 

Emergency System of Records,’’ and 

retitle it, ‘‘DHS/ALL–047 Records 

Related to DHS Personnel, Long-Term 

Trainees, Contractors, Mission Support 

Individuals, and Visitors During a 

Declared Public Health Emergency 

System of Records.’’ This system of 

records describes DHS’s collection, use, 

and maintenance of records on 

individuals associated with DHS and its 

facilities during a declared public health 

emergency. DHS is updating this system 

of records to more clearly articulate the 

relevant authorities and purpose; 

modify the categories of individuals to 

include individuals who support DHS 

missions, but were outside the 

previously defined categories of 

individuals; modify the categories of 

records to include those records 

collected and disclosed in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic 

Security Act (CARES Act); and add an 

additional routine use. This modified 

system will be included in DHS’s 

inventory of record systems. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

January 11, 2021. This modified system 

will be effective upon publication. New 

or modified routine uses will be 

effective January 11, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Secretary of the Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) may, 

under section 319 of the Public Health 

Service (PHS) Act (codified at 42 U.S.C. 

247d), declare that: (a) A disease or 

disorder presents a public health 

emergency; or (b) that a public health 

emergency, including significant 

outbreaks of infectious disease or 

bioterrorist attacks, otherwise exists. 

The declaration lasts for the duration of 

the emergency or 90 days but may be 

extended by the Secretary of HHS. 

Congress must be notified of the 

declaration within 48 hours. The U.S. 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) must ensure the safety of its 

workforce, including when the 

Secretary of HHS or the responsible, 

designated State official determines and 

declares that a public health emergency 

exists. Responses to public health 

emergencies depend on the nature of the 

emergency, but in the context of 

infectious disease or other events that 

can cause widespread harm to the 

health of DHS personnel and others in 

DHS facilities, in order to ensure a safe 

and secure workspace, DHS may collect 

information on DHS personnel (i.e., 

employees, detailees, interns, and 

volunteers), contractors, long-term 

trainees, mission support individuals, 

and visitors at or on buildings, grounds, 

and properties that are owned, leased, 

or used by DHS. 

This system of records covers 

information collected on DHS 

personnel, contractors, long-term 

trainees, mission support individuals, 

and visitors at or on buildings, grounds, 

and properties that are owned, leased, 

or used by DHS who have contracted or 

may have been exposed to a suspected 

or confirmed disease or illness that is 

the subject of a declared public health 

emergency or who must undergo 

preventative testing for a disease or 

illness that is the subject of a declared 

public health emergency as a 

requirement of federal, state, or local 

public health orders. The information 

collected may include identifying and 

contact information of individuals who 

have been suspected or confirmed to 

have contracted a disease or illness, or 

who have been exposed to an individual 

who had been suspected or confirmed to 

have contracted a disease or illness, 

related to a declared public health 

emergency; individual circumstances 

and dates of suspected exposure; testing 

results, symptoms, and treatments; and 

health status information. DHS 

maintains this information to reduce the 

spread of the disease or illness among 

DHS personnel, contractors, long-term 

trainees, mission support individuals, 

and visitors at or on buildings, grounds, 

and properties that are owned, leased, 

or used by DHS. In certain instances, 

depending on the type of record 

collected and maintained, for federal 

employees, this information will also be 

maintained and covered by Office of 

Personnel Management/Government-10 

Employee Medical File System Records 

(75 FR 35099, June 21, 2010). However, 

any collection and use of records 

covered by the DHS/ALL–047 Records 

Related to DHS Personnel, Long-Term 

Trainees, Contractors, Mission Support 

Individuals, and Visitors During a 

Declared Public Health Emergency 

System of Records is only permitted 

during times of a declared public health 

emergency and when the circumstances 

permit the Department to collect and 

maintain such information on the 

various categories of DHS personnel, 

contractors, long-term trainees, mission 

support individuals, and visitors at or 

on buildings, grounds, and properties 

that are owned, leased, or used by DHS. 

It must first be determined that the 

circumstances surrounding the declared 

public health emergency permit the 

Department to collect and maintain the 

information that may fall within the 

scope of this system of records. To make 

this determination, these circumstances 

must be examined in conjunction with 

all applicable laws, including the U.S. 

Constitution, federal privacy laws, 

federal labor and employment laws, and 

federal workforce health and safety 

laws. Different laws may apply
