health, and environmental management
training and medical monitoring
requirements; (2) contact EPA staff who
are members of the Response Support
Corps (RSC) in off-hours when they are
needed to be sent to an emergency
response incident or to contact an
emergency point of contact in case of
injury to the RSC member while
working at an incident; and (3) respond
to requests for statistical compilations of
such information made by the Office of
Management and Budget, the
Department of Labor and the

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 73 / Thursday, April 16, 2015 / Notices
used to track various items of concern
to OEM, the Agency’s Emergency
Management and Response community;
and the Agency’s Safety, Health and
Environmental Management
community.
EMP–FR contains training and
certification records for EPA employees
(training taken, training required,
certifications received and certifications
required.) Additional fields for
Response Support Corps (RSC) members
include emergency response experience
and workgroup membership. RSC
members may also have entered
personal and emergency contact name
and address information (home address;
personal email; home and cell phone
numbers; emergency contact name,
relationship and phone numbers). As
this information is retrievable using
search criteria that identifies an
individual, including the person’s
name, email address and EPA LAN user
ID, it is considered non-sensitive
personally identifiable information (PII).
As specified by law and an EPA
Order, the Agency’s Occupational
Medical Surveillance Program (OMSP)
provides for baseline, exit and periodic
health evaluations to ensure, to the
extent feasible, that EPA employees
subject to extraordinary physical
demands or hazardous exposures have
not suffered adverse health effects. The
employee data about this program that
are managed in EMP–FR include only
the date that an occupational medical
review was conducted and the date by
which the next review is required. No
specifics of employee health, exposures,
or other medical confidential
information are included in EMP–FR.
The EMP–FR application is owned
and managed by the EPA’s Office of
Solid Waste and Emergency Response
(OSWER), Office of Emergency
Management (OEM). It is hosted by the
Office of Environmental Information
(OEI), Office of Technology Operations
and Planning (OTOP), National
Computer Center (NCC) located at
Research Triangle Park, NC. EMP–FR is
accessible through the Internet, with
identity and access management
handled by OEI’s Web Application
Management software.
EMP–FR is available to all EPA
employees by default, although targeted
to the Emergency Management and
Health and Safety personnel in
particular. Internal and external trusted
partners can be given access with the
consent of an EPA point of contact. Each
employee can see and edit his/her own
record. Supervisors can view records of
their employees. Emergency
Management and Safety and Health
program managers and, according to
VerDate Sep<11>2014

stated protocols, other EPA employees
and their delegates may be given rights
to manage/edit other employee records
as required. Access to the parallel
reporting software, the Emergency
Management Business Intelligence
(EMBI)—FR tool, is managed separately
but with similar protocols.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
General Information
EPA plans to create a Privacy Act system of records for the
Emergency Management Portal--Field Readiness Application (EMP-FR). EMP-
FR will be
[[Page 20493]]
used to track various items of concern to OEM, the Agency's Emergency
Management and Response community; and the Agency's Safety, Health and
Environmental Management community.
EMP-FR contains training and certification records for EPA
employees (training taken, training required, certifications received
and certifications required.) Additional fields for Response Support
Corps (RSC) members include emergency response experience and workgroup
membership. RSC members may also have entered personal and emergency
contact name and address information (home address; personal email;
home and cell phone numbers; emergency contact name, relationship and
phone numbers). As this information is retrievable using search
criteria that identifies an individual, including the person's name,
email address and EPA LAN user ID, it is considered non-sensitive
personally identifiable information (PII).
As specified by law and an EPA Order, the Agency's Occupational
Medical Surveillance Program (OMSP) provides for baseline, exit and
periodic health evaluations to ensure, to the extent feasible, that EPA
employees subject to extraordinary physical demands or hazardous
exposures have not suffered adverse health effects. The employee data
about this program that are managed in EMP-FR include only the date
that an occupational medical review was conducted and the date by which
the next review is required. No specifics of employee health,
exposures, or other medical confidential information are included in
EMP-FR.
The EMP-FR application is owned and managed by the EPA's Office of
Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER), Office of Emergency
Management (OEM). It is hosted by the Office of Environmental
Information (OEI), Office of Technology Operations and Planning (OTOP),
National Computer Center (NCC) located at Research Triangle Park, NC.
EMP-FR is accessible through the Internet, with identity and access
management handled by OEI's Web Application Management software.
EMP-FR is available to all EPA employees by default, although
targeted to the Emergency Management and Health and Safety personnel in
particular. Internal and external trusted partners can be given access
with the consent of an EPA point of contact. Each employee can see and
edit his/her own record. Supervisors can view records of their
employees. Emergency Management and Safety and Health program managers
and, according to stated protocols, other EPA employees and their
delegates may be given rights to manage/edit other employee records as
required. Access to the parallel reporting software, the Emergency
Management Business Intelligence (EMBI)--FR tool, is managed separately
but with similar protocols.

Safeguards: Access to EMP by external trusted partners,
such as state employees, other federal employees and contractors as
well as internal contractors, grantees, interns and non-EPA federal
employees must be requested through OEI's Web Access Management process
and must be approved by the requestor's EPA point of contact. In
addition, requestor's EPA point of contact must explain and approve all
read/edit access to the EMP-FR application. Access is then granted via
the EMP Help Desk data managers. Those with edit rights to profiles
other than their own, have rights granted individually through the EMP
Help Desk in accordance with procedures determined by the various field
readiness user community program managers such as the RSC project
manager; the National Incident Management System project manager and
the Safety, Health and Environmental Management Division of the Office
of Administration and Resources Management. Access to the personal and
emergency contact information is limited to the person himself/herself;
the person's supervisor, as listed in EMP-FR; and the person's
organizational RSC Coordinators and their specific designees. This
access is managed through the standard EMP database security and
policies.
Retention and Disposal: An EMP-FR records schedule is
currently under development.
