SUMMARY:

Jkt 262001
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,
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 internetbased 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 subcollections under this generic instead of
revising entire information collections
and analyze individual instruments for
burden reduction.
