Department of Homeland Security October 30, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on the Chicago River between the Lake Street Bridge and the Randolph Street Bridge, Chicago, IL. This safety zone is intended to restrict vessels from a designated portion of the Chicago River for a sunken barge and related salvage operations. This temporary safety zone is necessary to protect the surrounding public and vessels from the hazards associated with salvage operations.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on a proposed revision of a currently approved information collection. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice seeks comments concerning the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) v5.0. The program provides a well established mechanism, using standardized reporting methods, to collect and analyze fire incident data at the Federal, State, and local levels with a myriad of life and property saving uses and benefits.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will submit the information collection abstracted below to the Office of Management and Budget for review and clearance in accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The submission will describe the nature of the information collection, the categories of respondents, the estimated burden (i.e., the time, effort and resources used by respondents to respond) and cost, and the actual data collection instruments FEMA will use.
