Abstract: This information collection accompanies a final rule that sets forth the policies and procedures by which the Secretary of the Department of Transportation would carry out certain authorities and responsibilities assigned under Executive Order 12656, the Assignment of Emergency Preparedness responsibilities. The Defense Production Act of 2009 (P.L. 111-67, September 30, 2009) requires each Federal agency with delegated authority under section 101 to issue final rules establishing standards and procedures to promote the national defense, under both emergency and non- emergency conditions, and is part of a multi-agency effort that forms the Federal Priorities and Allocations System. Simply put, the information collection facilitates the supply of critical resources from the U.S. industrial base to support national defense, and protect and restore critical infrastructure components.
