# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## General Information

                    EPA plans to create a Privacy Act system of records for the Emergency Management Portal—Field Readiness Application (EMP-FR). EMP-FR will be                           ( print page 20493)                        used to track various items of concern to OEM, the Agency's Emergency Management and Response community; and the Agency's Safety, Health and Environmental Management community.                

EMP-FR contains training and certification records for EPA employees (training taken, training required, certifications received and certifications required.) Additional fields for Response Support Corps (RSC) members include emergency response experience and workgroup membership. RSC members may also have entered personal and emergency contact name and address information (home address; personal email; home and cell phone numbers; emergency contact name, relationship and phone numbers). As this information is retrievable using search criteria that identifies an individual, including the person's name, email address and EPA LAN user ID, it is considered non-sensitive personally identifiable information (PII).

As specified by law and an EPA Order, the Agency's Occupational Medical Surveillance Program (OMSP) provides for baseline, exit and periodic health evaluations to ensure, to the extent feasible, that EPA employees subject to extraordinary physical demands or hazardous exposures have not suffered adverse health effects. The employee data about this program that are managed in EMP-FR include only the date that an occupational medical review was conducted and the date by which the next review is required. No specifics of employee health, exposures, or other medical confidential information are included in EMP-FR.

The EMP-FR application is owned and managed by the EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER), Office of Emergency Management (OEM). It is hosted by the Office of Environmental Information (OEI), Office of Technology Operations and Planning (OTOP), National Computer Center (NCC) located at Research Triangle Park, NC. EMP-FR is accessible through the Internet, with identity and access management handled by OEI's Web Application Management software.

EMP-FR is available to all EPA employees by default, although targeted to the Emergency Management and Health and Safety personnel in particular. Internal and external trusted partners can be given access with the consent of an EPA point of contact. Each employee can see and edit his/her own record. Supervisors can view records of their employees. Emergency Management and Safety and Health program managers and, according to stated protocols, other EPA employees and their delegates may be given rights to manage/edit other employee records as required. Access to the parallel reporting software, the Emergency Management Business Intelligence (EMBI)—FR tool, is managed separately but with similar protocols.

Chief Information Officer.

The employee data about this program that are managed in EMP-FR include only the date that an occupational medical review was conducted and the date by which the next review is required. No specifics of employee health, exposures, or other medical confidential information are included in EMP-FR.

### Authority for Maintenance of the System:

                        CERCLA section 105 (National contingency plan; preparation, contents, etc.); EPCRA section 305 (Emergency training and review of emergency systems); EPA Order 1440.2 (partial list: Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and E.O. 12196, Occupational Health and Safety Programs for Federal Employees); EPA Order 1460.1 (partial list:                         *29 U.S.C. 655, section 6,*                         and                         *29 U.S.C. 668, section 19,*                         Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and                         *section 501*                         of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended). Purposes(s): Personal and Emergency Contact Information is used by line supervisors and managers of the RSC Program (1) to contact the RSC member in off-hours when he/she is needed to deploy to an incident and (2) in case of injury to the RSC member while deployed at an incident. Emergency planning, management and response-related training and certification information is used by individuals and managers of the various emergency management and response programs across the Agency to track required emergency response training.                    

Safety and health-related training and certification information is used by individuals and managers of the safety, health and environmental management program across the Agency to track required safety, health and environmental management training and medical monitoring data.

### Routine Uses of Records Maintained in the System, Including Categories of Users, and Purposes of Such Uses:

General routine uses A, D, E, F, G, H, K and L apply to this system. Records may also be disclosed to home-agency supervisors of non-EPA federal employees.

### Policies and Practices for Storing, Retrieving, Accessing, Retaining, and Disposing of Records in the System:

    - Storage: Data are stored on in a computer database on a database server.
    - Retrievability: Personally identifiable information (PII) can be       ( print page 20494)                              retrieved by name and EPA personnel identification number. Searches by training or certification name can also be used to access user records.                    
    - Safeguards: Access to EMP by external trusted partners, such as state employees, other federal employees and contractors as well as internal contractors, grantees, interns and non-EPA federal employees must be requested through OEI's Web Access Management process and must be approved by the requestor's EPA point of contact. In addition, requestor's EPA point of contact must explain and approve all read/edit access to the EMP-FR application. Access is then granted via the EMP Help Desk data managers. Those with edit rights to profiles other than their own, have rights granted individually through the EMP Help Desk in accordance with procedures determined by the various field readiness user community program managers such as the RSC project manager; the National Incident Management System project manager and the Safety, Health and Environmental Management Division of the Office of Administration and Resources Management. Access to the personal and emergency contact information is limited to the person himself/herself; the person's supervisor, as listed in EMP-FR; and the person's organizational RSC Coordinators and their specific designees. This access is managed through the standard EMP database security and policies.
    - Retention and Disposal: An EMP-FR records schedule is currently under development.

System Manager(s) and Address: Christopher Burgess, Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, Office of Emergency Management, Resource Management Division, USEPA, MC 5104A, WJC North, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20460.
