Abstract
In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to establish a new DHS system of records titled, "DHS/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-017 Individuals and Households Program Equity Analysis Records System of Records." This system of records allows DHS/FEMA to collect from and maintain records on applicants for its disaster assistance programs, which provide financial and other tangible assistance to survivors of presidentially declared disasters or emergencies, to assess and ensure that access to and participation in the Individuals and Households Program (IHP) is accomplished in an equitable and impartial manner.
