The
Chemical Stockpile Emergency
Preparedness Program (CSEPP) is one
facet of the multi-hazard readiness
program in two States that deal with
hazardous material spills or releases.
The program’s goal is to improve
preparedness to protect the people of
these communities in the unlikely event
of an accident. CSEPP, a cooperative
effort between FEMA and the U.S.
Army, provides funding (grants),
training, community outreach,
guidance, technical support and
expertise to State, local, and Tribal
governments to improve their
capabilities to prepare for and respond
to this type of disaster. Since no
preparedness program can be successful
without the public’s understanding and
cooperation, input from the residents
and businesses of immediate and/or
surrounding areas is vital for program
managers’ ability to design customtailored strategies to educate and
communicate risks and action plans at
the local level. This survey, which was
initiated six years ago, will continue as
the assessment mechanism to document
and quantify program achievements.

Abstract
To support the development of public
outreach and education efforts that will
improve emergency preparedness, DHS/
FEMA’s Chemical Stockpile Emergency
Preparedness Program (CSEPP) will
collect data from the citizens living in
the Immediate Response Zones and
Protective Action Zones surrounding
stockpile sites. Program managers use
survey data findings to evaluate public
awareness of protective actions at
CSEPP sites, and identify outreach
weaknesses and strengths to develop
effective outreach and education
campaigns. Results from this
information collection are shared with
State, local, Tribal, and other FEMA
officials for subsequent action plans
addressing program-wide and stockpile
site-specific issues. Results are also
shared with other Federal agencies that
lend expertise in specific areas of the
program.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households, business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 2,098.
Number of Responses: 2,098.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 493.94 hours.
Estimated Cost: There are no record
keeping, capital, startup or maintenance
costs associated with this information
collection.
Comments
Comments may be submitted as
indicated in the ADDRESSES caption
above. Comments are solicited to (a)
evaluate whether the proposed data
collection is necessary for the proper
performance of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) evaluate the

information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) minimize the burden

the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of

The number of respondents and the
estimated burden hours have increased
since FEMA published the the 60 day
Federal Register Notice on February 28,
2014. See 79 FR 11456. This is due to
an increase in the number of times the
surveys are conducted from quarterly to
approximately six times per year, the
addition of focus groups, and additional
questions covering survey topics whose
answers will provide timely customer
satisfaction results and benefit the
divisions and offices managing FEMA’s
Individual Assistance programs. The
respondent burden increased from 1,536
to 2,832, for an increase of 1,296
respondents. The burden hours
increased from 307 to 1,545, for an
increase of 1,238 hours. The annual cost
has incrased from $0.00 to $8,604 for
travel to focus groups.
