DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY
In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of
Homeland Security proposes to modify
and reissue a current Department of
Homeland Security system of records
titled, ‘‘Department of Homeland
Security/Federal Emergency
Management Agency-002 Quality
Assurance Recording System of
Records.’’ This system of records allows
the Department of Homeland Security/
Federal Emergency Management Agency
to collect and maintain records on the
customer service performance of its
employees and contractors who interact
with individuals who apply for the
Agency’s individual assistance and
public assistance programs.
As a result of a biennial review of this
system, the Department of Homeland
Security/Federal Emergency
Management Agency is updating this
system of records notice to update the
system location, remove the use of the
term vendors for clarity as it is
interchangeable with contractors in this
instance, and replace the use of the term
National Processing Service Center
(NPSC) with the new term Regional
Service Center (RSC). Additionally, this
notice includes non-substantive changes
to simplify the formatting and text of the
previously published notice. This
modified system will be included in the
Department of Homeland Security’s
inventory of record systems.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
August 14, 2017. This modified system
will be effective August 14, 2017.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by docket number DHS–
2017–0023 by one of the following
methods:
• Federal e-Rulemaking Portal: https://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal
Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) proposes to modify and reissue
a current DHS system of records titled,
‘‘DHS/FEMA–002 Quality Assurance
Recording System of Records.’’
DHS/FEMA published this system of
records notice because FEMA collects,
uses, maintains, and retrieves
personally identifiable information (PII)
from its employees and contractors for
internal employee performance
evaluations, training, process
improvement, and quality assurance
purposes to improve customer service to
individual assistance and public
assistance applicants. FEMA collects
information from individual applicants
(including PII) as necessary, or uses
information previously collected from
them to provide customer service to
these applicants.
FEMA is updating this system of
records notice to provide greater
transparency to the public on its
migration to the Contact Center
Capability Modernization Program
(C3MP), a new information technology
system. FEMA is updating the system
location to: 1) include the C3MP IT
system, which maintains these records;
2) remove the use of the term vendors
for clarity as it is interchangeable with
contractors in this instance; and 3)
replace the use of the term National
Processing Service Center (NPSC) with
the new term Regional Service Center
(RSC). Additionally, FEMA is making
non-substantive grammatical changes
throughout this notice for the purpose of
clarification.
The purpose of this system of records
is to enable FEMA’s Quality Control
Department, Customer Satisfaction
Analysis Section, Contract Oversight
Management Section, and FEMA RSC
Supervisory staff to better monitor,
evaluate, and assess its employees and
contractors so that FEMA can improve
customer service to those seeking
disaster assistance. The purpose is
consistent with FEMA’s mission to
improve its capability to respond to all
hazards and support the citizens of our
Nation.
FEMA is authorized to collect
information in order to properly
administer the programs that are
