Summary

SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a (Privacy Act), the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) gives notice of a revision to an existing Privacy Act system of records.

The existing system, Emergency Notification System (FHFA–14), is being revised in its entirety to add additional information that is being collected; to change the location of the system; and to update the routine uses of the system. The revised system will contain information that FHFA will use to maintain emergency contact information for current FHFA employees and contractor personnel. The system will provide for high-speed message delivery that reaches agency and contractor personnel in response to threat alerts issued by the Department of Homeland Security, weather related emergencies, or other critical situations that disrupt the operations of and accessibility to an FHFA worksite. The system also provides for personnel accountability during an emergency through personnel sign-in and rapid alert and notification.

To be assured of consideration, comments should be received on or before May 16, 2016. This revised system of records will become effective on May 25, 2016 without further notice unless comments necessitate otherwise. FHFA will publish a new notice if the effective date is delayed to review comments or if changes are made based on comments received.
