ACTION: Notice and request for comments. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on a proposed revised information collection. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice seeks comments concerning the National Incident Management System (NIMS) Compliance Assistance Support Tool (NIMSCAST), a self-assessment tool for State, territorial, tribal, and local governments to evaluate and report on their jurisdiction’s achievement with regards to NIMS implementation activities issued by FEMA’s NIMS Integration Center. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5 (HSPD–5) Management of Domestic Incidents called for the establishment of a single, comprehensive NIMS. The NIMS is a system that improves response operations through the use of the Incident Command System (ICS) and other standard procedures and preparedness measures. It also promotes development of multi-jurisdictional, statewide and interstate regional mechanisms for coordinating incident management and obtaining assistance during large-scale or complex incidents. HSPD–5 dictated that Federal departments and agencies shall make adoption of the NIMS a requirement for the provision of Federal preparedness assistance funds. HSPD–5 also established and designated the NIMS Integration Center as the lead Federal agency to coordinate NIMS compliance. One of the primary functions of the NIMS Integration Center is to ensure NIMS remains an accurate and effective management tool through refining and adapting compliance requirements to address ongoing preparedness needs. To accomplish this, the NIMS Integration Center relies on input from Federal, State, local, tribal, multi-discipline and Number of respondents Data collection activity/instrument Frequency of responses private authorities to assure continuity and accuracy of ongoing efforts. NIMS compliance must be an ongoing effort as new personnel must be trained and plans must be revised to reflect lessons learned. States play an important role in ensuring the effective implementation of the NIMS. They must ensure that the systems and processes are in place to communicate the NIMS requirements to local jurisdictions and support them in implementing the NIMS. The long-term benefit of adopting and implementing the NIMS is that it strengthens our nation’s capabilities to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from any incident. The NIMSCAST is designed to reflect the newly-released FY 2007 implementation activities and metrics and to inform the NIMS Integration Center and the Department of Homeland Security of any given jurisdiction’s compliance with the NIMS. Collection of Information Title: NIMS Compliance Assistance Support Tool (NIMSCAST). Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection. OMB Number: 1660–0087. Form Numbers: None. Abstract: The NIMSCAST is the tool utilized to (a) Evaluate a State, territory, tribal, and local government’s compliance with standards and requirements established in the NIMS and/or NIMS Integration Center, (b) determine eligibility for Federal preparedness assistance, and (c) strengthen incident management programs at the department, agency, or jurisdiction level.
