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 Emergency Management Priorities
and Allocations System regulation
requires suppliers to accept or reject
priority rated orders for these goods and
services within established time periods
(10 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
