Expressions of Interest (EOI) for 

Chemical Defense Demonstration 

Projects 

AGENCY: Office of Health Affairs, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of Expression of Interest. 

SUMMARY: The Chemical Defense 

Program (CDP), under the Department of 

Homeland Security Office of Health 

Affairs (OHA), is seeking Expressions of 

Interest (EOI) from state, local, tribal, 

and territorial (SLTT) government 

agencies to participate in a chemical 

defense demonstration project relative 

to a specific venue (e.g., indoor sports 

stadium, outdoor port facility, 

convention center). These projects will 

assist communities in enhancing their 

preparedness to respond effectively and 

quickly to a catastrophic chemical 

event. Using the DHS Form 10088 (9/12) 

posted on https://www.dhs.gov/

publication/eoi-form-cdpdemonstration-project, interested SLTT 

governmental agencies must submit the 

completed and signed form to the DHS 

OHA CDP. 

DATES: Submit the completed and 

signed DHS Form 10088 (9/12), either 

electronically or in hard copy, no later 

than 45 days from the date of the 

Federal Register Notice. 

ADDRESSES: Submissions of DHS Form 

10088 (9/12) shall go to the following: 

Hardcopy signed original document to 

Captain Joselito Ignacio Deputy Program 

Director, Chemical Defense Program 

Department of Homeland Security/

Office of Health Affairs, 245 Murray 

Lane SW., Mail Stop: 0315 Washington, 

DC 20528; or Electronically to 

Joselito.Ignacio@hq.dhs.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

CAPTAIN JOSELITO IGNACIO, 202– 

254–5738 OR joselito.ignacio@

hq.dhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

demonstration projects are based on 

appropriations found in Public Law 

112–74 (Consolidated Appropriations 

Act, 2012) and Public Law 133–6 (‘‘The 

Consolidated and Further Continuing 

Appropriations Act, 2013’’), which call 

for the Chemical Defense Program of 

DHS OHA to conduct a competitive 

selection of locations and venues to 

participate in chemical detection 

demonstration projects. The DHS OHA 

CDP will initiate, fund and manage the 

demonstration projects, but in close 

coordination with the selected SLTT 

government agencies and venue 

operators. The demonstration project 

will result in, among other things: (a) A 

review of current community 

preparedness capabilities as well as 

gaps protecting from and responding to 

a catastrophic chemical incident; (b) 

community and venue-specific risk 

assessments, based on likely scenarios, 

to provide information on chemical 

threats; (c) technology alignment to 

include review of existing or intended 

detect-to-warn or detect-to-treat 

capabilities in communities; (d) 

optimizing the communities’ response 

system through decision analysis and 

the development of a concept of 

operations plan that defines common 

mission, roles, responsibilities and key 

actions necessary for responding to 

these events; and (e) exercise evaluation 

using the Homeland Security Exercise 

and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) 

process. Through successful completion 

of these demonstration projects, the 

selected communities will have 

enhanced preparedness of their 

emergency management, first responder, 

and first receiver groups with the 

knowledge, skills and tools to act 

swiftly and competently in protecting 

lives and restoring peace of mind in 

response to a catastrophic chemical 

incident. 

As stated, DHS will conduct a 

competitive selection. A DHS selection 

panel, led by the DHS OHA CDP, will 

carefully review the completed and 

signed DHS Form 10088 (9/12) and rate 

each submission using weighted criteria 

on the basis of (a) chemical threat risk 

(which the DHS Chemical Terrorism 

Risk Assessments and SLTT government 

agencies’ input will inform); (b) 

community interest to host a 

demonstration project; and (c) reasons 

given for desiring a demonstration 

project hosted in this community and 

specific venue. Numerically sequenced 

from high to low values, top tiered 

communities are then selected to have 

these projects conducted in their 

locations. All communities will receive 

notification of the selection results. 

Once selected, DHS OHA CDP will enter 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
60888 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 191 / Wednesday, October 2, 2013 / Notices 

into a Memorandum of Agreement with 

the selected SLTT government agencies 

to clarify roles and responsibilities. 

Selected SLTT government agencies 

must work cooperatively with DHS 

OHA CDP with all phases of the 

demonstration project. Expected 

activities include (a) participation in all 

planning meetings on site or via 

teleconference; (b) establish formal 

relationships with selected venues’ 

owners and operators in order for DHS 

OHA CDP or its designated performers 

to have access to all outdoor and indoor 

spaces; (c) review and provide technical 

input on any developed guidance 

documents and plans by DHS OHA CDP 

or its performers within assigned 

deadlines and (e) serve as a community 

conduit with key stakeholders within 

the selected cities in order to gain input 

in the demonstration projects (e.g. 

emergency medical services, fire/

hazmat, hospitals, public health). There 

are no funds given to the selected SLTT 

government agencies or venues as part 

of these demonstration projects, 

including funds for purchase of 

equipment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 

1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to 

update, combine, and reissue the 

following legacy record systems: 

Department of Transportation (DOT)/

Office of the Secretary of Transportation 

(OST) 004 Board for Correction of 

Military Records (BCMR) System of 

Records, 65 FR 19551—(April 11, 2000); 

and DOT/OST 059—Files for the Board 

for Correction of Military Records 

System, BCMR, for the Coast Guard, 65 

FR 19557 (April 11, 2000) as a new 

Department of Homeland Security 

system of records notice titled, DHS/

ALL—036 Board for Correction of 

Military Records System of Records. 

This new SORN is being published by 

the Department of Homeland Security 

since the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) was 

moved from the Department of 

Transportation to the Department of 

Homeland Security. Under 10 U.S.C. 

1552, the Board for Correction of 

Military Records (BCMR) is a board of 

civilians within the U.S. Department of 

Homeland Security, Office of the 

General Counsel, which has authority 

under 10 U.S.C. 1552, to review and 

correct the personnel records of current 

and former members of the USCG and 

USCG Reserve. This system of records 

notice allows the Department to collect 

and maintain records submitted and 

created during the BMCR process. 

The BCMR is a forum that allows 

current and former USCG military 

personnel or their authorized 

representatives to apply for correction of 

their military personnel records. In 

order to determine whether the 

requested correction should be made, 

the BCMR receives, reviews, and stores 

applications, arguments, and evidence 

submitted by applicants and their 

representatives as well as copies of 

applicants’ military and, if applicable, 

medical records. The BCMR also 

receives, reviews, and stores advisory 

opinions and evidence submitted by the 

USCG for each case; copies of applicable 

investigations; and correspondence 

related to the applications. The BCMR 

retains copies of the decisions issued. 

The records in this system are used by 

the Chair’s staff and members of the 

Board in determining whether to grant 

relief to applicants; by the General 

Counsel and his or her staff in deciding 

whether to approve, disapprove, or 

remand the decisions of the Board. The 

records are also used by the Coast Guard 

in preparing its advisory opinions to the 

Board concerning pending cases and in 

implementing the Board’s orders. 

This new system will be included in 

DHS’s inventory of record systems. 

II. Privacy Act 

The Privacy Act embodies 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 

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
