SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public
Law 114–143, the Integrated Public
Alert and Warning System
Modernization Act of 2015, and
Presidential Executive Order 13407,
Public Alert and Warning System,
establishes 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
response to the Executive Order. The
Stafford Act (42 U.S.C. 5121, et. seq.,
Public Law 93–288, as amended)
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
that regulates the management,
operations, and security of the
information technology system
connection between a Federal, State,
Tribal, territorial, or local alerting
authority and IPAWS–OPEN (Open
Platform for Emergency Notifications).
The IPAWS Public Alerting
Authorization application captures
information detailing which types of
events the local jurisdiction wants to be
configured to use IPAWS for and which
primary dissemination channels should
be available. For example, if a
community wants to send a Civil
Emergency Message (CEM) to broadcast
across radio, television, and cable, they
will request ‘‘CEM’’ for ‘‘EAS’’—the
Emergency Alert System. These
requested permissions are reviewed by
either the State or by Tribal authorities
for compliance with established overall
alerting policies and plans. IPAWS uses
the approved information to configure
permissions in IPAWS–OPEN.
This proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on August 26, 2022, at 87 FR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) codified as 42 U.S.C. 4001, et
seq. is authorized by Public Law 90–448
(1968) and expanded by Public Law 93–
234 (1973). The Department of
Homeland Security, Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA)
administers the NFIP. The NFIP’s major
objective is to assure that participating
communities are achieving the flood
loss reduction objectives through
adoption and enforcement of adequate
land use and control measures. Sections
1315 and 1361 provide the basis for
FEMA’s process to evaluate how well
communities are implementing their
floodplain management programs. Title
44 CFR 59.22 directs the respondent to
submit evidence of the corrective and
preventive measures taken to meet the
flood loss reduction objectives.
The two key methods FEMA uses in
determining community assistance
needs are through the Community
Assistance Contact (CAC) and
Community Assistance Visit (CAV),
which serve to provide a systematic
means of monitoring community NFIP
compliance. Through the CAC and CAV,
FEMA can also determine to what
extent communities are achieving the
flood loss reduction objectives of the
NFIP. By providing assistance to
communities, the CAC and CAV also
serve to enhance FEMA’s goals of
reducing future flood losses, thereby
achieving the NFIP’s cost-containment
objective. The burden hours and costs
associated with this collection were reevaluated which led to the main
revision in this extension request.
This proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on September 1, 2022, at 87 FR

Abstract: Through the use of a
Community Assistance Contact (CAC) or
Community Assistance Visit (CAV),
FEMA can make a comprehensive
assessment of a community’s floodplain
management program. Through this
assessment, FEMA can assist the
community to understand the NFIP’s
requirements, and implement effective
flood loss reductions measures.
Communities can achieve cost savings
through flood mitigation actions by way
of insurance premium discounts and
reduced property damage.
