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
U.S. Department of Homeland
Security.
ACTION: Notice of a modified system of
records.
AGENCY:

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.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by docket number DHS–
2020–0049 by one of the following
methods:

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
