SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Privacy Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93-579, as
amended) (5 U.S.C. 552a) establishes a Code of Fair Information
Practice that governs the collection, maintenance,
[[Page 66127]]
use, and dissemination of personally identifiable information about
individuals that is maintained in systems of records by Federal
Agencies.
The E-Government Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-347) (5 U.S.C. chapter
37; 44 U.S.C. 3501-3606) improves the management and promotion of
electronic government services and processes by establishing a Federal
Chief Information Officer within the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), and by establishing a framework of measures that require using
internet-based information technology to improve citizen access to
government information and services, and for other purposes.
The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act
(Pub. L. 93-288, as amended), 42 U.S.C. 5121-5207 (``Stafford Act'')
provides broad authority to the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) to carry out its mission of helping people before, during, and
after disasters. FEMA shares information, to include PII and SPII, to
meet the Agency's mission to: ``reduce the loss of life and property
and protect our institutions from all hazards by leading and supporting
the nation in a comprehensive, risk-based emergency management program
of mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.'' As part of
responding to requests to share information, FEMA engages in an
interactive process with entities to determine the validity and scope
of their data sharing request.
FEMA is creating this generic information collection to document
the instruments FEMA uses to outline contractual sharing of protected
information with external partners in disaster and non-disaster
environments. This generic information collection will ensure all OMB-
approved expiration dates are aligned across FEMA's Privacy Division
and will also allow FEMA to update individual instruments as sub-
collections under this generic collection instead of revising entire
information collections and analyze individual instruments for burden
reduction.
This proposed information collection previously published in the
Federal Register on April 11, 2024, at 89 FR 25641 with a 60-day public
comment period. No comments were received. The purpose of this notice
is to notify the public that FEMA will submit the information
collection abstracted below to the Office of Management and Budget for
review and clearance.
