FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stacey Buccigross, Training & Process 
Improvement Manager for the COVID-19 Task Force, FEMA's Office of the 
Chief Administrative Officer Environmental, Safety & Health Division, 
Medial Branch, by telephone at (202) 718-3195 or via email at 
[email protected]. You may contact the Information 
Management Division for copies of the proposed collection of 
information at email address: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA is collecting additional information 
related to non-Federal employees during contact tracing, as authorized 
by DHS/ALL-047 Records Related to DHS Personnel, Long-Term Trainees, 
Contractors, Mission Support Individuals, and Visitors During a 
Declared Public Health Emergency.
    This update allows a reporting individual to provide information 
related to a COVID-19, to impacted individuals and suspected close 
contact individuals. Additional information that FEMA will now begin to 
collect include names and phone numbers. Other individual information 
may be provided that is directly related to the disease or illness 
(e.g., testing results, symptoms, treatments, source of exposure) and 
FEMA contact tracers will contact all individuals who may be close 
contacts to inform them of the potential exposure. At that time, the 
close contact individual will have the option to provide additional 
information.
    FEMA's Environmental Safety and Health (ESH) Division manages 
contact tracing within FEMA facilities. Individuals who report to their 
supervisors a suspicion of COVID-19 related symptoms will have their 
report tracked via a SharePoint site. Information is provided by 
individuals using a front-end form housed on the SharePoint site, or 
through a phone call to a helpline monitored by the Contact Tracing 
Team. In the case of a report via phone, the individual who received 
the call will manually enter the data into the SharePoint site. This 
allows FEMA to track any potential exposure to other individuals and 
facilities. Additionally, FEMA will use the site to contact the 
employee and potentially those who may have been exposed.
    The SharePoint site allows two levels of permission access. The 
first is for all individuals with access to the FEMA Enterprise 
Network. Those individuals will have permission only to the submission 
form and to view records that they created. The second is for 
individuals with access to all the information that has been submitted. 
This is strictly limited to the FEMA ESH and individuals appointed as 
contact tracers by ESH.
    Reports include COVID-19 symptoms present, presumptive positive, 
and confirmed positive/negative cases. FEMA will update the report 
periodically until the individual has been cleared to return to work. 
Also, an individual can provide FEMA with a date referencing their 
first medical service received related to COVID-19 and vaccination 
status. When a report is received, the SharePoint site creates a case 
ID. This is an auto-generated number that is formulated based on the 
state the individual reports from and the date of report.
    If a report is called into the helpline related to visitors or 
short-term students at or on buildings, grounds, and properties that 
are owned, leased, or used by FEMA, the individual that was at a FEMA 
facility can submit a report of possible COVID-19 related symptoms to 
the Contact Tracing Team.
