The Department of Homeland
Security is publishing this proposed
Maximum Pay Rate Table (Table) in
conjunction with its interim rule for
National Urban Search and Rescue
Response (US&R) System, which is also
being published in this edition of the
Federal Register. The interim rule
standardizes the financing,
administration and operation of the
US&R System, and standardizes the
relationships between DHS and
‘‘Sponsoring Agencies’’ of the US&R
System—those State or local
government agencies that agree to
organize and administer a US&R Task
Force. This notice seeks comment on
the proposed Table, which establishes
the maximum rates that DHS will pay
for US&R Task Force physicians,
engineers and canine handlers as
‘‘Affiliated Personnel’’ or for backfill
positions for activated US&R System
Members employed by or otherwise
associated with a for-profit
‘‘Participating Agency.’

Pursuant to the Privacy Act of
1974, the Department of Homeland
Security gives notice that the United
States Fire Administration, located in its
Directorate for Emergency Preparedness
and Response/Federal Emergency
Management Agency, is establishing a
new system of records that will be
maintained in its Access database,
which is used to track agency activities.
The new system of records is entitled
‘‘9/11 Heroes Stamp Act of 2001 File
System; DHS/FEMA/USFA–1.’’
The 9/11 Heroes Stamp Act of 2001
Files System is being established to
support the administration of a program
which provides assistance to individual
emergency relief personnel killed or
permanently disabled while serving in
connection with the terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001. The system will
enable prompt distribution of proceeds
from the sale by the United States Postal
Service of a Heroes ‘‘semipostal’’ stamp.

Pursuant to the requirements
of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended,
the Department of Homeland Security,
Emergency Preparedness and Response
Directorate, Federal Emergency
Management Agency is establishing a
new system of records entitled National
Emergency Management Information
System—Mitigation Electronic Grants
Management System. Some (but not all)
applications for mitigation grants
propose activities that impact properties
that are privately owned by individuals
(e.g., acquisition of a home that has been
repeatedly flooded) and these
applications include personally
identifiable information about the
property owners. Potentially, this
personally identifying information may
be part of a State’s application, and also
part of a local community’s application collected in these applications includes
the minimum amount necessary to
ascertain the eligibility of that property
and/or structure (e.g., house or
commercial building) under mitigation
grant program regulations. See https://
portal.fema.gov/famsVu/dynamic/

In compliance with the
requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974,
as amended, FEMA gives notice that it
intends to rename its system of records
notice for FEMA/REG–2, Disaster Recovery Assistance Files, to
acknowledge in the nomenclature that it
is now part of DHS, that it proposes to
revise the existing routine uses for this
system to allow information sharing
with voluntary agencies actively
working in the open disaster and that it
proposes to add new routine uses to
provide notice about routine
management and oversight information
sharing. In addition, to reduce the
burden on the public applying for
disaster assistance, FEMA has proposed
to allow the registration process to be
done by individuals electronically over
the Internet and is therefore revising its
system notice to account for electronic
records.
