during, and after a disaster has impacted
a State, Tribe, or Territory. For a major
disaster, the Stafford Act authorizes
FEMA to direct any agency to utilize its
existing authorities and resources in
support of State, Tribe, and Territory
assistance response and recovery efforts.
See 42 U.S.C. 5170(a)(1). For an
emergency, the Stafford Act authorizes
FEMA to direct any agency to utilize its
existing authorities and resources in
support of State and local emergency
assistance efforts. See 42 U.S.C.
5192(a)(1). FEMA may task other
Federal agencies to assist during
disasters and to support emergency
efforts by State and local governments
by issuing a mission assignment to the
appropriate agency. See 44 CFR 206.5,
206.208. FEMA collects the information
necessary to determine what resources
are needed and if a mission assignment
is appropriate. The information
collected explains which States, Tribes,
Territories require assistance, what
needs to be accomplished, details any
resource shortfalls, and explains what
assistance is required to meet these
needs.
This proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on December 31, 2020, at 85 FR
86945 with a 60-day public comment
period. No comments were received.
This information collection expired on
March 1, 2021. FEMA is requesting a
reinstatement, with change, of a
previously approved information
collection for which approval has
expired. The purpose of this notice is to

the information collection abstracted
below to the Office of Management and
Budget for review and clearance.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

On
November 16, 2018, Congress passed
Public Law 115–278, to amend the
Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6
U.S.C. 101 et seq.), enacted and
authorized the Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) of
the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS). Statue 4173 (f)(3) under title
XVIII mandated CISA to construct the
Emergency Communications Division as
one of three components. Furthermore,
Statue 4173 (f)(3) calls for the
Emergency Communications Division to
be headed by the Assistant Director.
Statue 4175 (c)(1)(2) (6 U.S.C. 571 note.)
re-designated the Office of Emergency
Communications to become the
Emergency Communications Division,
headed by the Assistant Director. In
accordance with Statue 4179 1801 (6
U.S.C. 571)(b) title XVIII, the Assistant
Director for the Emergency
Communications Division is required to
report to the Director of CISA. Section
2202 (6 U.S.C. 652)(b)(1) specifies for
the head of CISA to be re-designated as
the Director, who is required to report
to the Secretary of the Department of
Homeland Security.
CISA enhances public safety
interoperable communications at all
levels of government to help partners
across the country develop their
emergency communications
capabilities. Working with stakeholders
across the country, CISA conducts
extensive, nationwide outreach to
support and promote the ability of
emergency response providers and
relevant government officials to
continue to communicate in the event of
a natural disaster, act of terrorism, or
other man-made disaster. Public Law
109–296, Title VI, 671(b), Title XVIII,
1801(c)(2) mandates DHS through CISA
to administrate and manage SAFECOM,
a state, local, tribal, and territorial
stakeholder-driven public safety
communications program. In an effort to
resolve major communications issues
identified during the September 11,
2001, terrorist attacks, SAFECOM was
created as a Presidential E-Government
Initiative to improve interoperability,
allowing emergency responders to
communicate more effectively before,
during, and after emergencies and
disasters.
