Request (ICR) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995. CISA previously published a
notice about this ICR, in the Federal
Register on February 19, 2021 for a 60day public comment period. In
response, there were no comment
received. The purpose of this notice is
to allow additional 30-days for public
comments.
DATES: The comment period for the
information collection request
published on February 19, 2021 at 86 FR
10332. Comments are encouraged and
will be accepted until July 23, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
which:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Emergency Communications
Plan (NECP) is the Nation’s over-arching
strategic plan to drive measurable
improvements in emergency
communications across all levels of
government and disciplines. First
released in 2008, the plan is
periodically updated to reflect the
ongoing evolution of emergency
communications technologies and

processes. In support of the NECP, the
Interoperable Communications and
Technical Assistance Program (ICTAP)
within the Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)
Emergency Communications Division
(ECD) provides a portfolio of no-cost
communications technical assistance
(TA) to support the implementation of
the NECP, state’s and territories’
Statewide Communication
Interoperability Plans (SCIPs),
broadband planning, voice and digital
network engineering, training, exercise
support, and operational assessment
focused on interoperable emergency
communications at all levels of
government.
The purpose of the ICTAP Training
Survey is to obtain anonymous feedback
regarding several of the training courses
offered by the ICTAP. The feedback and
experience given by survey respondents
will assist the ICTAP in improving,
revising, and updating the course
materials for future students. The three
courses which the ICTAP would like to
obtain feedback are for:
• Communications Unit Leader
(COML);
• Communications Unit Technician
(COMT); and
• Information Technology Service
Unit Leader (ITSL).
COML is designed for all state/
territory, tribal, regional, and local
emergency response professionals and
for support personnel with a
communications background. It is
designed to familiarize these
professionals with the role and
responsibilities of a COML under the
National Incident Management System
(NIMS) Incident Command System (ICS)
and to provide hands-on exercises that
reinforce the lecture materials. CISA
and FEMA Emergency Management
Institute (EMI) offer this course jointly
as ‘‘L0969, NIMS ICS All-Hazards
Communications Unit Leader Course.’’
Under the NIMS ICS structure, a COML
is the focal point within the
Communications Unit. This course
provides DHS-approved and NIMScompliant instruction to ensure that
every state/territory has trained
personnel capable of coordinating onscene emergency communications
during a multi-jurisdictional response or
planned event.

and to provide hands-on exercises that

and FEMA Emergency Management
Institute (EMI) offer this course jointly
as ‘‘L0969, NIMS ICS All-Hazards
Communications Unit Leader Course.’’
Under the NIMS ICS structure, a COML
is the focal point within the
Communications Unit. This course
provides DHS-approved and NIMScompliant instruction to ensure that
every state/territory has trained
personnel capable of coordinating onscene emergency communications
during a multi-jurisdictional response or
planned event.
The COMT course provides
introductory and refresher training for
the NIMS ICS COMT position. It
introduces public safety professionals
and support staff to various
communications concepts and
technologies including interoperable
communications solutions, LMR
communications, satellite, telephone,
data, and computer technologies used in
incident response and planned events. It
is designed for state/territory, tribal,
urban, and local emergency response
professionals and support personnel in
all disciplines who have a technical
communications background.
Participants develop the essential core
competencies required for performing
the duties of the COMT in an allhazards incident, including
responsibilities while operating in a
local, regional, or state-level AllHazards Incident Management Team.
In 2018 and 2019, ICTAP introduced
the ITSL course, and SAFECOM/
National Counsel of Statewide
Interoperability Coordinators (NCSWIC)
have coordinated with FEMA National
Integration Center (NIC) and other
organizations focused on public safety
communications to establish the best
way to integrate the ITSL into the ICS.
The ITSL is needed to provide
information management, cybersecurity,
and application management for the
many critical incident/event related
functions to include: Incident/Unified
Command Post, Incident
Communications Centers, and various
tactical operations centers, joint
information center (JIC), staging areas,
and field locations. The ITSL course
targets Federal, state/territory, tribal,
urban, local, and emergency response
professionals, and support personnel in
all disciplines with a communications
background and an aptitude for and
extensive experience in information
technology. Specifically, the training
course provides an overview of the ITSL
components including
Communications/IT Help Desk or

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001

Unified Help Desk, IT Infrastructure
Manager, Network Manager. It covers
their roles and responsibilities and
provides an in-depth overview with
exercises for the ITSL’s major functions,
to include ensuring reliable and timely
delivery of IT services to participating
agencies and officials.
The ICTAP Training Survey will not
collect any personal identifiable
information (PII) from respondents
(emergency communications
stakeholders) of the survey. In collecting
feedback regarding the ITSL, COML,
and COMT courses, the survey will
collect what state the respondent lives,
where they took the course, did the
course provide the information needed,
should the course curriculum be
updated, and any comments to improve
the course material. The survey will
encompass 10 questions regarding the
former student’s experience, anything
that they liked, disliked, or something
new that they would like to see
incorporated into the refreshed class. It
is estimated that it will take each
participant 10 minutes to complete the
training survey. For 300 respondents
annually, the burden is 50 hours. To
estimate the cost of this collection, CISA
uses the mean hourly wage of ‘‘All
Occupations’’ of $25.72. CISA then
applies a load factor of 1.4597 to this
average wage to obtain a fully loaded
average hourly wage of $37.54. The total
respondent cost burden for this
collection is $1,877 (50 hours × $37.54).
