Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission or Agency) has modified an existing system of records, FCC/PSHSB-1, FCC Emergency and Continuity Alerts and Contacts System (ECACS), subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. This action is necessary to meet the requirements of the Privacy Act to publish in the Federal Register notice of the existence and character of records maintained by the Agency. The FCC's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB) uses the information in ECACS to prepare for and coordinate crisis response activities wherever they occur in the United States and its territories. The FCC is modifying FCC/PSHSB-1 to add information it will use to alert the designated emergency contacts of Commission staff of an emergency involving the FCC or a staff member.
