DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING

AGENCIES: 

Disclosure under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(12). 

DHS/FEMA may make disclosures from 

this system to ‘‘consumer reporting 

agencies’’ as defined in the Fair Credit 

Reporting Act 15 U.S.C. 1681a(f), as 

amended; or the Federal Claims 

Collection Act of 1966 31 U.S.C. 

3701(a)(3), as amended. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

Records in this system are stored in 

an interactive database, computer discs, 

and paper records in file folders. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Records may be retrieved by an 

individual’s name, address, social 

security number, and case file number. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

Only authorized FEMA employees 

and contractors have access to this 

information. Hardware and software 

computer security measures are used to 

control access to the data. Access to the 

data is based upon an individual’s 

position in FEMA and/or their 

designated duties. Individuals are 

assigned specific ‘‘rights’’ or specific 

access (e.g., read only, modify, delete, 

etc.). The access granted is based upon 

an individual’s position responsibilities 

for ‘‘official use’’ only. FEMA 

employees are allowed access to the 

data as a function of their specific job 

assignments within their respective 

organizations. Each FEMA employee’s 

access to the data is restricted to that 

needed to carry out their duties. 

No individual applying for disaster 

assistance will have access to the entire 

database via the Internet. Applicants 

will have limited access to only their 

own information that they submitted via 

the Internet, and to the status of their 

own information regarding the 

processing of their own application (e.g. 

the status of required documentation, 

inspection status, or SBA status). 

Applicants are provided a Logon id, 

password, and Personal Identification 

Number (PIN) that connect only to the 

applicant’s data. The password and PIN 

ensures that the login id belongs to the 

applicant. Computer security software 

ensures that the login id is mapped only 

to the applicant’s data. Applicants will 

have access to only their own 

application information after FEMA 

assigns them a properly authenticated 

user id, password, and PIN. Applicants 

will be registered and authenticated in 

accordance with National Institute of 

Standards and Technology Level 2 

Assurance guidelines. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

Records pertaining to individual 

assistance EXCEPT those relating to 

temporary housing and Individuals and 

Households Program programs will 

retire to inactive storage when two years 

old and destroyed when six years three 

months old in accordance with FEMA 

Records Schedule No. N1–311–86–1, 

item 4C10a. Records pertaining to 

temporary housing will be destroyed 

three years after close of the operation 

in accordance with FRS No. N1–311– 

86–1, item 4C10b. Closeout occurs when 

the disaster contract is terminated. 

Records pertaining to the IHP program 

will retire to the Federal Records Center 

(FRC) one year after closeout and 

destroyed three years after closeout.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

During Hurricane Katrina, displaced 

individuals experienced numerous 

difficulties in reuniting with family 

members after the disaster. As a result, 

Congress mandated in Section 689c of 

the Post-Katrina Emergency 

Management Reform Act (PKEMRA) of 

2006, Public Law 109–295, that the 

Federal Emergency Management Agency 

(FEMA) establish the National 

Emergency Family Registry and Locator 

System (NEFRLS). FEMA has the 

discretionary authority to activate 

NEFRLS to help reunify families 

separated after an emergency or disaster 

declared by the President as defined in 

the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief 

and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 

U.S.C. 5121–5207. 

Pursuant to the savings clause in the 

Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public 

Law 107–296, Section 1512, 116 Stat. 

2310 (November 25, 2002), and in 

accordance with the Post-Katrina 

Emergency Management Reform Act 

(PKEMRA) of 2006, Public Law 109– 

295, and the Privacy Act of 1974, as 

amended, the Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS) gives notice that 

FEMA’s, Disaster Assistance Directorate, 

Individual Assistance Branch, 

Emergency Support Function 6–Mass 

Care section, is establishing a new 

system of records entitled the ‘‘Federal 

Emergency Management Agency 

National Emergency Family Registry 

and Locator System.’’ 

This system of records will enable 

FEMA to provide a nationally accessible 

electronic system that will allow adults, 

displaced from their homes or predisaster location after a Presidentiallydeclared emergency or disaster, to 

voluntarily register themselves, and to 

identify up to seven family or 

household members they grant, in 

writing, access to their personal 

identifying information. This personal 

identifying information may potentially 

include their current location or a 

special message to an identified 

individual. FEMA’s system will allow 

two groups of individuals limited access 

for the purpose of reuniting them: (1.) 

Registrants: Displaced individuals 

registered in the system; and (2.) 

searchers: individuals who are 

searching for family or household 

members who registered in the system. 

This second group may or may not be 

displaced from their homes and may or 

may not be registered in the system. A 

displaced individual or ‘‘registrant’’ is 

one whose pre-disaster primary 

residence is uninhabitable or 

inaccessible as a direct result of a 

Presidentially-declared emergency or 

disaster. A household member may be 

any person who lived in the registrant’s 

pre-disaster residence immediately 

preceding the disaster. 

As mandated in the statute 

authorizing this system, medical 

patients who have been displaced due 

to a disaster or emergency will also have 

access to and may voluntarily register in 

the system. A medical patient includes 

an individual who receives medical care 

on a daily basis by a licensed medical 

professional and/or has a pre-disaster 

address in a hospital, field hospital, or 

nursing home. Generally, this would not 

include an assisted living facility but 

may also include on a case-by-case 

basis. Those registering in the system or 

those seeking displaced family can 

access the system either electronically 

via the Internet at https://asd.fema.gov/ 

inter/nefrls/home.htm or by telephone 

via toll-free 1–800–588–9822. 

II. Privacy Act 

The Privacy Act embodies fair 

information principles in a statutory 

framework governing the means by 

which the United States Government 

collects, maintains, uses, and 

disseminates individuals’ records. The 

Privacy Act applies to information that 

is maintained in a ‘‘system of records.’’ 

A ‘‘system of records’’ is a group of any 

records under the control of an agency 

for which information is retrieved by 

the name of an individual or by some 

identifying number, symbol, or other 

personal identifying information 

assigned to the individual. In the 

Privacy Act, an individual is defined to 

encompass United States citizens and 

legal permanent residents. As a matter 

of policy, DHS extends administrative 

Privacy Act protections to all 

individuals where systems of records 

maintain information on U.S. citizens, 

lawful permanent residents, and 

visitors. Individuals may request access 

to their own records that are maintained 

in a system of records in the possession 

or under the control of DHS by 

complying with DHS Privacy Act 

regulations, 6 CFR part 5. 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 184 / Thursday, September 24, 2009 / Notices 48769

catastrophic event will have permanent 

value. A catastrophic event may be any 

natural or manmade incident, including 

terrorism, which results in 

extraordinary levels of mass casualties, 

damage, or disruption severely affecting 

the population, infrastructure, 

environment, economy, national morale, 

and/or government functions. A 

catastrophic event could result in 

sustained national impacts over a 

prolonged period of time; almost 

immediately exceeds resources 

normally available to State, local, tribal, 

and private-sector authorities in the 

impacted area; and significantly 

interrupts governmental operations and 

emergency services to such an extent 

that national security could be 

threatened.
