OMB approves
this collection for a period of three years. To request approval of
information collections under this generic approval, the agency
must do the following: 1) Unless an agency is using multiple modes
of collection (e.g. paper forms and electronic submissions),
provide a Generic Clearance Submission Template for each
Instrument; 2) If the agency is using multiple modes of collection
(e.g. paper forms and electronic submission), the same Generic
Clearance Submission Template can be used for both instruments; 3)
each Generic Clearance Submission Template must be uploaded as a

Through acts such as the National
Construction Safety Team Act (NCSTA) and the NIST Organic Act,
among others, as well as the President's Climate Action Plan
(2013), NIST conducts research and develops guidance and other
related tools to promote and enhance the safety and well-being of
people in the face of a hazard event. With this in mind, NIST
proposes to conduct a number of data collection efforts within the
topic areas of disaster and failure studies and community
resilience and sustainability, including studies of specific
disaster events (e.g., wildfire, urban fire, structure collapse,
hurricane, earthquake, tornado, and flood events), assessments of
community resilience and sustainability, and evaluations of the
usability and utility of NIST guidance or other products. For
example, one study may assess user perceptions and applications of
the NIST “Community Resilience Planning Guide for Buildings and
Infrastructure Systems” as well as adherence to building and fire
codes and standards in community resilience planning. Another
example may include the study of disaster impacts to community
members due to a large-scale wildfire event. These data collection
efforts may be either qualitative or quantitative in 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.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
