SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on June 21, 2018, at 83 FR
28857 with a 60-day public comment
period. FEMA received four comments
that were unrelated to this collection.
Public Law 114–143, The IPAWS
Modernization Act of 2015, and
Presidential Executive Order 13407
established the policy for an effective,
reliable, integrated, flexible, and
comprehensive system to alert and warn
the American people in situations of
war, terrorist attack, natural disaster, or
other hazards to public safety and
wellbeing. The Integrated Public Alert
and Warning System (IPAWS) is the
Department of Homeland Security’s
(DHS) response to the Executive Order.
The Stafford Act (U.S.C. Title 42,
Chapter 68, Subchapter II) requires that
FEMA make IPAWS available to
Federal, State, and local agencies for the
purpose of providing warning to
governmental authorities and the
civilian population in areas endangered
by disasters. The information collected
is used by FEMA to create a
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that
regulates the management, operations,
and security of the information
technology system connection between
a Federal, State, territorial, tribal or
local alerting authority and IPAWS–
OPEN (Open Platform for Emergency
Notifications).

IPAWS, an organization must procure
its own IPAWS-compatible software. To
become a COG, a Memorandum of

security must be executed between the
sponsoring organization and FEMA.

governments.

burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology.
