The Federal Drug Testing Custody
and Control Form is used by all federal
agencies and employers regulated by the
Department of Transportation (DOT) to
document the collection and chain of
custody of urine specimens at the
collection site, for laboratories to report
results, and for Medical Review Officer
(MRO) to make a determination. The
Federal Drug Testing Custody and
Control Form approved by OMB three
years ago is being resubmitted for OMB
approval without any revision.
The ONLY change is the number of
respondents which has been reduced
from 7.1 to a total of 6.1 million; which
reduces the total burden hours of
¥240,480.
Prior to an inspection, a laboratory is
required to submit specific information
regarding its laboratory procedures.
Collecting this information prior to an
inspection allows the inspectors to
thoroughly review and understand the
laboratory’s testing procedures before
arriving at the laboratory.
The NLCP application form has not
been revised compared to the previous
form. The annual total burden estimates
for the Federal Drug Testing Custody
and Control Form, the NLCP
application, the NLCP inspection
checklist, and NLCP recordkeeping
requirements are shown in the following
table.

purpose has been clarified to include
other assistance programs in addition to
IHP and to also include customer
satisfaction assessments; routine uses
have been revised to name tribal
government agencies as potential
recipients to comport with section 1110

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal
Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) proposes to update and reissue
an existing system of records entitled,
‘‘DHS/FEMA—008 Disaster Recovery
Assistance Files System of Records,’’ 74
FR 48763 (September 24, 2009).
This system of records notice is being
published because FEMA collects,
maintains, uses, retrieves, and
disseminates the personally identifiable
information (PII) of individuals who
apply for FEMA disaster assistance in
the aftermath of a Presidentiallydeclared disaster. FEMA’s applicant
records included in this system may
contain income information, insurance
information, housing inspection reports,
and correspondence notations about the
various types of assistance, including
information about appeals, and other
information.
The purpose of this system of records
is to facilitate registration for FEMA’s
disaster assistance programs, to verify
IHP applicant information, determine
eligibility of the applicants, and to
focus, direct, refer, and correspond
applicants to all sources of disaster
assistance. Additional purposes include
identifying and implementing measures
to reduce future disaster damage,
preventing a duplication of federal
government efforts and benefits, and
identifying possible fraudulent activity
after a Presidentially-declared disaster
or emergency. Finally, information from
this system of records may be used to
facilitate FEMA’s efforts to assess the
customer service it provides to those
receiving FEMA assistance.
FEMA collects, uses, maintains,
retrieves, and disseminates the records
within this system under the authority
of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief

and Emergency Assistance Act (the
Stafford Act), Pub. L. No. 93–288, as
amended (42 U.S.C. 5121–5207); 6
U.S.C. 776–77, and 795; the Debt
Collection Improvement Act of 1996, 31
U.S.C. 3325(d) and 7701(c)(1); the
Government Performance and Results
Act, Pub. L. No. 103–62, as amended;
Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1978;
Executive Order 13411, ‘‘Improving
Assistance for Disaster Victims,’’ dated
August 29, 2006; and Executive Order
12862 ‘‘Setting Customer Service
Standards,’’ dated September 11, 2003,
as described in this notice.
This updated system of records
provides greater transparency by
encompassing all of FEMA’s disaster
assistance records, including those
records related to IHP, as well as the
customer service survey assessments
within a single system of records.
This system of records notice is being
published pursuant to the biennial
review requirement under the Privacy
Act of 1974. Specific updates are
described below:
First, FEMA is expanding the purpose
of the system to account for all FEMA
assistance that applicants may be
eligible to receive, not just IHP records,
and to explicitly include customer
satisfaction assessments. This change is
necessary to account for records of
various FEMA assistance programs that
individuals may receive within this
system of records. Second, the
categories of records have been updated
to reflect the discontinuation of FEMA’s
Other Needs Assistance forms
(specifically, forms numbered 76–27,
76–28, 76–30, 76–32, 76–34, 76–35, 76–
38, and related forms). The
accompanying approved collection
(OMB ICR No. 1660–0018) has also been
retired to reflect FEMA’s
discontinuation of these forms. The
categories of records have been further
revised to include information that
FEMA maintains about disaster
assistance applicants from other FEMA
programs and third-parties concerning
financial payments that applicants
received from other sources for similar
purposes. This is necessary to prevent a
duplication of benefits as mandated by
the Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5174, and 44
CFR 206.191, to better address
situations in which a private entity is
wholly or partially responsible for a
declared disaster under the Stafford Act,
42 U.S.C. 5160, and to ensure that
applicants can receive assistance from
additional and available sources. In
addition, the categories of records no
longer refers to a specific form entitled,
‘‘Inspection Report FEMA Form 90–56.’’
This has been replaced with the more
inclusive ‘‘Inspection Reports’’ to reflect

E:\FR\FM\30APN1.SGM

30APN1

pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

25284

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 83 / Tuesday, April 30, 2013 / Notices

FEMA’s current practice of using an
electronic device narrative as opposed
to a paper form. Third, categories of
individuals have been updated to more
accurately reflect the individuals
covered by this system and to explain
that, although anyone may apply for and
receive certain types of disaster
assistance, not everyone will be eligible.
For example, there is a citizenship
requirement for IHP assistance and, in
addition, not all applicants may be able
to complete the full application initially
for a variety of practical reasons. Fourth,
the legal authorities have been revised
to include the Government Performance
and Results Act, Pub. Law No. 103–62,
as amended; and Executive Order 12862
‘‘Setting Customer Service Standards,’’
as additional authorities to augment the
requirements of Executive Order 13411,
‘‘Improving Assistance for Disaster
Victims,’’ related to its customer
satisfaction assessments. Fifth, this
update reflects the removal of the
blanket requirement that all routine use
requests be made in writing and revises
several of the system’s routine uses and
added new routine uses as follows:
Included a FEMA-state agreement as an
acceptable sharing vehicle and includes
contractors and sub-grantees that a state
or federal agency may use to carry out
programs in (H)(1); added the term
‘‘Long Term Recovery Committee’’ as a
recipient in (H)(2); clarified that ‘‘Long
Term Recovery Committee’’ is a
recipient under (H)(3) and added ‘‘local
government agency,’’ ‘‘utility
companies,’’ and ‘‘hospitals/health care
providers’’ as a recipients in (H)(3);
removed the term ‘‘Disability
Coordinator’’ and added the term
‘‘assistive technology’’ in (H)(4); added
(H)(5) to further the FEMA
Administrator’s efforts to include and
involve the private sector in disaster
management pursuant to 6 U.S.C.
313(b)(2); added (H)(6) to facilitate the
provision of medical equipment and
assistive technology to IHP applicants;
added (H)(7) to allow for sharing with
federal, state, tribal, and local
government agencies for purposes of
performing surveys and/or studies;
added language to (I) to specify the
information that DHS/FEMA will share;
and added ‘‘phone number’’ and
‘‘number of household occupants’’ in
(M) to the information that will be
shared. Sixth, the retention and disposal
section has been revised to include the
National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA) authority and
the retention schedule information for
FEMA’s customer satisfaction
assessment records. Lastly, the record
source categories have been updated to

VerDate Mar<15>2010

13:22 Apr 29, 2013

Jkt 229001

reflect current FEMA form number 010–
0–12 and to include other housing forms
not previously listed. FEMA has also
made non-substantive grammatical
changes throughout this notice for
clarification purposes.
This updated 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
individual. In the Privacy Act, an
individual is defined to encompass U.S.
citizens and lawful permanent
residents. As a matter of policy, DHS
extends administrative Privacy Act
protections to all individuals when
systems of records maintain information
on U.S. citizens, lawful permanent
residents, and visitors.
Below is the description of the DHS/
FEMA–008 Disaster Recovery
Assistance Files System of Records.
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r),
DHS has provided a report of this
system of records to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and to
Congress.

make available any disaster assistance to
individuals and households and/or give
preference of priority to disaster
applicants, including those that
evacuate from a declared state to
another state and to prevent a
duplication of efforts or benefits. State
agencies may request and receive
information using the protocols
established in an appropriate FEMAstate agreement as defined in 44 CFR
206.44. Federal and state government
agencies may share information they
receive from FEMA with their
contractors/grantees, and/or agents that
are administering a disaster related
program on behalf of the Agency (e.g.,
other state, tribal, and local agencies
working under the guise of the
requesting state agency) according to the
same protocols and safeguards
protecting the information.
2. To local government agencies,
voluntary organizations (as defined in
44 CFR 206.2(a)(27)), and FEMA- and/
or state- recognized Long Term
Recovery Committees (LTRC) and their
members for a declared county charged
through legislation or chartered with
administering disaster relief/assistance
programs. The written request from the
entity shall include the applicant’s
name, date of birth, FEMA registration/
application number, and damaged
dwelling address (or geospatial location
of dwelling). The entity must explain
the type of tangible assistance being
offered and the type of verification
required before the assistance can be
provided.
3. To local government agencies,
utility companies, hospitals/health care
providers, and voluntary organizations
(as defined at 44 CFR 206.2(a)(27)). The
voluntary organization must either have
a national membership in good standing
with the National Voluntary
Organizations Active in Disaster
(NVOAD), be a FEMA or state
recognized Long-Term Recovery
Committee (LTRC), or member of such
committee for that disaster. The abovementioned entities must have a disaster
assistance program to address the unmet
disaster-related needs of disaster
survivors and be actively involved in
the recovery efforts of the disaster.
FEMA may disclose to the above
mentioned entities lists of applicant
names, contact information, their FEMA
inspected loss amount, amounts
received, award category, and Small
Business Administration loan status for
the purpose of providing additional
disaster assistance and/or addressing
unmet needs. FEMA may disclose the

VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001

aforementioned data elements according
to different sub-categories of disaster
applicants (e.g., those that received
maximum amounts, those that have
flood insurance coverage, those with
emergency needs, or those over a certain
age). FEMA shall release this
information only during the disaster
period of assistance as defined in 44
CFR 206.110(e), plus 90 days to address
any appeals (44 CFR 206.115(f)).
4. FEMA may immediately disclose,
on a case by case basis, to an entity
qualified under Routine Use (H)(3), and
to entities that loan or donate new or
reused durable medical equipment and
assistive technology, information about
applicants in need of such equipment or
technology as a result of a declared
disaster, if the applicant in question has
an immediate need for durable medical
equipment or assistive technology, and
the qualifying entity is able to provide
the assistance in question. An
immediate need is one that is of such
urgency or severity that one could
reasonably expect the absence of the
durable medical equipment or assistive
technology to place the health of the
applicant in serious jeopardy, to
compromise the safety of the applicant,
or prevent the applicant from relocating
from a shelter facility to the next stage
of recovery.
Specifically, FEMA may release the
applicant’s name and limited contact
information (telephone number, email
address, and if being delivered to a
location other than a shelter, the current
address and/or geospatial location data).
A written request is not necessary in
this situation; however, FEMA shall
provide a written letter (or email) along
with the information to the receiving
entity, and in turn the receiving entity
shall acknowledge receipt of message
that it has received the information and
has contacted the applicant. In addition,
the entity will confirm that it has taken
the steps to protect the information
provided.
5. To a private sector entity/business
for the purpose of administering,
coordinating, and/or providing tangible
assistance to the entity’s employees who
have applied for assistance to address
their disaster-related losses. The request
from the private sector entity/business
must include its employees’ names,
dates of birth, damaged dwelling
addresses, and the types of tangible
assistance the entity is offering its
employees. FEMA shall only release the
contact information of those applicants
who are employed by the requesting
entity. FEMA shall release this
information only during the disaster
period of assistance as defined in 44
CFR § 206.110(e).

6. To organizations that are able to
provide durable medical equipment and
assistive technology to applicants in
need of such devices as a result of a
declared disaster. FEMA may disclose
applicants’ name and contact
information to include the current
address and phone number.
7. To federal, state, tribal, and local
government agencies for the purpose of
contacting FEMA IHP applicants to seek
their voluntary participation in surveys
or studies concerning effects of
disasters, program effectiveness, and to
identify possible ways to improve
community preparedness and resiliency
for future disasters.
I. To federal, state, tribal, or local
government agencies; voluntary
organizations; insurance companies;
employers; any public or private
entities; banks and financial institutions
when an applicant’s eligibility, in whole
or in part, for FEMA’s IHP depends
upon financial benefits already received
or available from that source for similar
purposes as necessary to determine
benefits; and to prevent duplication of
disaster assistance benefits (as described
in 42 U.S.C. 5155 of the Stafford Act).
FEMA initiates the transaction by only
disclosing the name, address, and date
of birth of an applicant in order to
properly identify the same and obtain
desired relevant information from
entities listed above.
J. To federal, state, tribal, or local
government agencies charged with the
implementation of hazard mitigation
measures and the enforcement of
hazard-specific provisions of building
codes, standards, and ordinances.
FEMA will only disclose information for
the following purposes:
1. For hazard mitigation planning
purposes, to assist federal, state, tribal,
or local government agencies in
identifying high-risk areas and
preparing mitigation plans that target
those areas for hazard mitigation
projects implemented under federal,
state, tribal, or local hazard mitigation
programs.
2. For enforcement purposes, to
enable federal, state, tribal, or local
government agencies, to ensure that
owners repair or rebuild structures in
conformity with applicable hazardspecific building codes, standards, and
ordinances.
K. To the Department of the Treasury,
pursuant to the Debt Collection
Improvement Act of 1996, 31 U.S.C.
3325(d) and 7701(c)(1), as amended. An
applicant’s Social Security Number will
be released in connection with a request
that the Department of the Treasury
provide a disaster assistance payment to
an applicant under the IHP.

government emergency managers, when
an applicant is occupying a FEMA
temporary housing unit, for the

Department of Motor Vehicles, or a State
health agency).
