Abstract: FEMA's Community Preparedness Division would like to renew a currently approved collection for its registration of State, local, Tribal and territorial Councils and Community Emergency Response Teams. The registration process allows for new Councils to submit information on the Council or CERT to the State Citizen Corps Program Manager for approval. The revised registration process will allow for the collection of more valuable information and the tool is more user-friendly for Citizen Corps Councils and CERT's.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There was a decrease in the number of Citizen Corps Councils and CERT Programs since the 2009 OMB approval for this collection. Currently there are approximately 3,300 Councils and CERTs (with a growth rate of 100 per year for Councils and 300 per year for CERTs) that will update their information in the Citizen Corps Council registration. It is likely that a decrease in programs occurred due to program and staff turn-over and a decrease in available federal grant funding.
