The system is being amended to change (1) the system name to Mass Alert and Notification System (MANS); (2) the categories of individuals covered by the system; and (3) categories of records in the system. This system of records will contain information collected from EPA personnel, contractors, grantees, consultants, and other support staff, including volunteers, who have an active EPA identification badge or are in the process of obtaining an EPA identification badge, for the purposes of providing emergency alerts and notifications and conducting accountability activities in support of affected persons following an emergency. Records may also be used for mass alert and notification system tests, drills, and exercises. DATES: Persons wishing to comment on this system of records notice must do so by December 13, 2016. If no comments are received, the system of records notice will become effective by December 13, 2016. ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ- OEI-2016-0235, by one of the following methods: [[Page 76581]]www.regulations.gov: Follow the online instructions for submitting comments.

EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the public docket without change and may be made available online at www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information for which disclosure is restricted by statute.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joe Vescio, National Continuity of Operations Manager, at (202) 564-2522. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. General Information The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to amend the EPA Personnel Emergency Contact Files system of records notice to more accurately reflect its scope and to address changes related to the expanded categories of individuals and records in the system. The EPA Personnel Emergency Contact Files system of records has been renamed Mass Alert and Notification System (MANS). This system of records contain personally identifiable information collected from EPA personnel, contractors, grantees, consultants, and other support staff, including volunteers, who have an active EPA identification badge or are in the process of obtaining an EPA identification badge, for the purposes of providing emergency alerts and notifications and conducting accountability of affected persons following an emergency. The privacy of the individual is affected by 1) rapidly and effectively disseminating emergency alerts and notifications, and 2) conducting personnel accountability activities following an emergency and having the ability to contact emergency personnel identified in case of an emergency pertaining to the employee. With this system of records modification, the MANS may also be used for mass alert and notification test, drill, and exercise evolutions. The EPA will pre-populate MANS with government-furnished contact information, including first name, last name, middle initial, office location, scope of the record subject's responsibilities, work email address, work telephone number, work mobile telephone number, work short message service (SMS) (texting), and work telephone typewriter, teletypewriter or text phone/Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TTY/TDD). Records are from various communications mediums such as telephones, emails and SMS. With this system of records modification, record subjects will have the option to voluntarily and securely add their own personal contact information, and information for their emergency contact person including home address, personal email address(es), home telephone number(s) and personal mobile telephone number(s), short message service (SMS) (texting), telephone typewriter, teletypewriter or text phone/Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TTY/TDD) by establishing a personal account on the MANS web-portal. Information maintained pursuant to this System of Records Notice (SORN) will be managed and maintained by the Office of Emergency Management in accordance with the Privacy Act. In order to protect the privacy of record subjects, only EPA personnel administering the MANS and contractor support staff (governed by the Privacy Act compliance terms in their contract) will have access to the MANS and government- furnished source data. EPA MANS Administrators will be required to present log-in credentials (i.e., username and password) in order to access MANS; these individuals have the appropriate security clearances and a role-based need to access records in the system. Electronic data are stored on servers that are maintained in locked facilities with secure access control. Dated: October 12, 2016. Ann Dunkin, Chief Information Officer. EPA-44 SYSTEM NAME Mass Alert and Notification System. SYSTEM LOCATION Each Headquarters Office, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington DC 20460, WJC North Building, or Regional Office may maintain emergency contact records.
