SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 1, 2004, the Department of Homeland Security published the initial version of the National Incident Management System (NIMS). NIMS provides a consistent nationwide template to enable Federal, State, Tribal, and local governments, the private sector, and nongovernmental organizations to work together to prepare for, prevent, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of incidents regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity. This consistency provides the foundation for use of NIMS for all incidents, ranging from daily occurrences to incidents requiring a coordinated Federal response. The NIMS document was revised and released in December 2008 based on input from stakeholders at every level within the Nation’s response community and lessons learned during recent incidents. A critical tool in promoting the nationwide implementation of NIMS is a well-developed training program that guides and enables NIMS training throughout the Nation. Core competencies will form the basis of the training courses’ learning objectives and personnel qualifications that validate proficiency. The National Integration Center at FEMA is charged with developing NIMS core competencies, training courses, and personnel qualifications. This updated NIMS Training Plan describes the operational foundations of these efforts, defines NIMS core competencies, training courses, and personnel qualifications as part of NIMS national training, assembles and updates the training guidance for available NIMS courses (organized as a core curriculum), and lays out a future plan to continue development of NIMS national training. The document is available for nationwide review at https:// www.regulations.gov under Docket ID FEMA–2009–0012. FEMA will review all comments received and may revise the document accordingly.
