nature or may consist of mixed
methods. Additionally, data may be
collected via a variety of means,
including but not limited to electronic
or social media, direct or indirect
observation (i.e., in person, video and
audio collections), interviews,
questionnaires, and focus groups. NIST
will limit its inquiries to data
collections that solicit strictly voluntary
opinions or responses. The results of the
data collected will be used to decrease
negative impacts of disasters on society,
and, in turn, increase community
resilience within the U.S. communities.
Steps will be taken to ensure anonymity
of respondents in each activity covered
by this request.
This notice pertains to both a revision
and an extension of a previously
approved submission. The NIST
Engineering Laboratory utilizes this
clearance to conduct research in support
of topic areas of disaster and failure
studies, community resilience
(including studies of specific disaster
events such as wildfire, urban fire,
structure collapse, hurricane,
earthquake, tornado, and flood events).
This type of research is directly
related to a range of disasters which are
unpredictable in their number during a
given year. Additionally, some disasters
may require multiple studies resulting
in multiple collections. Therefore, in
preparation of the upcoming disaster
season, NIST is requesting to increase
the ICR Annual Response allotment
from 15,000 to 20,000 Responses; and
the ICR Annual Hours allotment from
12,000 to 15,000. NIST assures that no
changes will be made to any the
individual information collection
requests that have been approved for
use.
II. Method of Collection
NIST will collect this information by
electronic means when possible, as well
as by mail, fax, telephone, technical
discussions, and in-person interviews.
NIST may also utilize observational
techniques to collect this information.
