OEC was

U.S.C. 101 et seq., as amended, and
requires OEC to foster the development
of interoperable emergency
communications capabilities and to
facilitate the sharing of information on
best practices for achieving,
maintaining, and enhancing
interoperable emergency
communications capabilities. OEC
meets these requirements, in part, by
developing and disseminating guidance
documents on interoperable emergency
communications issues. The guidance
document request form and the
guidance document evaluation form
will help OEC stakeholders to, first,
request the guidance documents and,
second, to assess the effectiveness of the
guidance documents. OEC will use the
request form to track the request for and
dissemination of the guidance
documents to stakeholders. OEC will
use the evaluation information for
continuous improvement to its
documents. Guidance document request
forms and evaluation forms will
primarily be submitted electronically.
They may also be submitted in paper
form at conferences, meetings, and other
