PURPOSE OF THE SYSTEM:
The purpose of this system of records
is to maintain emergency contact
information for current employees,
IPAs, selected guests and contractors of
the National Science Foundation. The
system provides for high-speed message
delivery that reaches all NSF personnel
in response to threat alerts issued by the
Department of Homeland Security,
weather related emergencies, or other
critical situations that disrupt the
operations and accessibility of a
worksite. The system also provides for
personnel accountability during an
emergency, through personnel sign-in
and rapid alert and notification.
ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE
SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND
THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
1. Information from the system may
be disclosed to any Federal government
authority for the purpose of
coordinating and reviewing agency
continuity of operations plans or
emergency contingency plans developed
for responding to Department of
Homeland Security threat alerts,
weather related emergencies, or other
critical situations.
2. Disclosure may be made to a
Congressional office from the record of
an individual in response to an inquiry
from the Congressional office made at
the request of that individual.
3. Information from the system may
be disclosed to contractors, grantees,
volunteers, experts, advisors, and other
individuals who perform a service to or
work on or under a contract, grant,
cooperative agreement, advisory
committee, committee of visitors, or
other arrangement with or for the
Federal government, as necessary to
carry out their duties in pursuit of the
purposes described above. The
contractors are subject to the provisions
of the Privacy Act.
4. Information from the system may
be merged with other computer files in
order to carry out statistical studies or
otherwise assist NSF with program
management, evaluation, and reporting.
Disclosure may be made for this
purpose to NSF contractors and
collaborating researchers, other
Government agencies, and qualified
research institutions and their staffs.
Disclosures are made only after scrutiny
of research protocols and with
appropriate controls. The results of such
studies are statistical in nature and do
not identify individuals.
5. Information from the system may
be disclosed to the Department of
Justice or the Office of Management and
Budget for the purpose of obtaining
advice on the application of the

Act to the records.

court, or a party in litigation before a
court or in an administrative proceeding
being conducted by a Federal agency
when the Government is a party to the
judicial or administrative proceeding.
7. Information from the system may
be given to the Department of Justice, to
the extent disclosure is compatible with
the purpose for which the record was
collected and is relevant and necessary
to litigation or anticipated litigation, in
which one of the following is a party or
has an interest: (a) NSF or any of its
components; (b) an NSF employee in
his/her official capacity; (c) an NSF
employee in his/her individual capacity
when the Department of Justice is
representing or considering representing
the employee; or (d) the United States,
when NSF determines that litigation is
likely to affect the Agency.
8. Records from this system may be
disclosed to representatives of the
General Services Administration and
the National Archives and Records
Administration who are conducting
records management inspections under
the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and
2906.
9. Information from the system may
be given to appropriate agencies,
entities, and persons when (1) the NSF
suspects or has confirmed that the
security or confidentiality of
information in the system of records has
been compromised; (2) the NSF has
determined that as a result of the
suspected or confirmed compromise
there is a risk of harm to economic or
property interests, identity theft or
fraud, or harm to the security or
integrity of this system or other systems
or programs (whether maintained by the
NSF or another agency or entity) that
rely upon the compromised
information; and (3) the disclosure
made to such agencies, entities, and
