to end its Laboratory Accreditation Program for
Substance Abuse (LAPSA) effective May 12, 1998.
Laboratories certified through that program were
accredited to conduct forensic urine drug testing as
required by U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT) regulations. As of that date, the certification
of those accredited Canadian laboratories will
continue under DOT authority. The responsibility
for conducting quarterly performance testing plus
periodic on-site inspections of those LAPSAaccredited laboratories was transferred to the U.S.
HHS, with the HHS’ NLCP contractor continuing to
have an active role in the performance testing and
laboratory inspection processes. Other Canadian
laboratories wishing to be considered for the NLCP
may apply directly to the NLCP contractor just as
U.S. laboratories do.
Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to be
qualified, HHS will recommend that DOT certify
the laboratory (Federal Register, July 16, 1996) as

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Marc Geier, Office of Policy and
Program Analysis, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, 500 C Street SW,
Washington, DC 20472, 202.924.0196 or
[email protected]. You may
contact the Information Management
Division for copies of the proposed
collection of information at email
address: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information is necessary to support the
President’s priorities and allocations
authority under the DPA implemented
by the Emergency Management
Priorities and Allocations System
(EMPAS) regulation (44 CFR part 333),
which was added by FEMA’s May 13,
2020, Emergency Management Priorities
and Allocations System Interim Final
Rule (RIN 1660–AB04). The purpose of
this authority is to ensure the timely
delivery of products, materials, and
services to meet current national
defense requirements. The definition of
‘‘national defense’’ in Section 702(14) of
the DPA provides that this term
includes ‘‘homeland security,’’
‘‘emergency preparedness activities’’
conducted pursuant to Section 602 of
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford
Act) (42 U.S.C. 5195a), and ‘‘critical
infrastructure protection and
restoration.’’
Collection of Information
Title: Rated Orders, Adjustments,
Exceptions, or Appeals Under the
Emergency Management Priorities and
Allocations System (EMPAS).
Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a currently approved
information collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0150.
FEMA Forms: No forms.
Abstract: To help ensure the timely
delivery of goods and services in
support of approved emergency
management programs, section 333.13
of the EMPAS regulation requires
suppliers to accept or reject priority
rated orders for these goods and services
within established time periods (10

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001

working days for a ‘‘DX’’ rated order and
15 working days for a ‘‘DO’’ rated
order). Rated orders may be placed
directly by the Federal Government on
a contractor or supplier, or they may
‘‘flow down’’ from a contractor to
subsequent subcontractors or suppliers.
Additionally, FEMA may facilitate sales
to third parties. Section 333.13 also
requires that certain emergency
preparedness rated orders must be
accepted or rejected within shorter time
periods as specified in section
333.12(b). Section 333.13(d)(3) of the
EMPAS regulation requires that, if after
acceptance of a rated order the supplier
discovers that shipment or performance
against the order will be delayed, the
supplier must notify the customer
immediately in written electronic
format, giving the reasons for the delay
and advising the customer of a new
shipment or performance date. This
collection of information involves order
communications between a Federal
Government prime contractor and its
subcontractors, unless FEMA is
facilitating a sale to a third party. In
those situations, FEMA would collect
information on the customer as part of
the sale facilitation.
Finally, under section 333.70 each
request for adjustment or exception
must be in writing and contain a
complete statement of all the facts and
circumstances related to 44 CFR part
333 or official action from which
adjustment is sought and a full and
precise statement of the reasons why
relief should be provided. Under section
333.71, any person who has had a
request for adjustment or exception
denied by FEMA under section 333.70
may appeal to the Administrator. Each
appeal must be in writing and contain
a complete statement of all the facts and
circumstances related to the action
appealed from a full and precise
statement of the reasons the decision
should be modified or reversed.
Affected Public: For Profit Business;
Private Non-Profit; State, local or Tribal
government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
26.
Estimated Number of Responses: 26.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 8.5.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Cost: $533.
Estimated Respondents’ Operation
and Maintenance Costs: None.
Estimated Respondents’ Capital and
Start-Up Costs: None.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to the
Federal Government: $188.
