SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Post
Katrina Management Reform Act
(PKEMRA), codified within title 6
U.S.C. requires the FEMA Administrator
to provide Federal leadership necessary
to prepare for, protect against, respond
to, recover from or mitigate against a
natural disaster, act of terrorism, or
other man-made disaster. This

responsibility includes planning,
training, and building the emergency
management profession by building a
comprehensive incident management
system with Federal, state, and local
government personnel, agencies and
authorities, and helping the emergency
response providers to effectively
respond. See 6 U.S.C. 314. As part of
this responsibility to help and support
emergency response providers, FEMA
supports efforts to train and assist in
organizing citizen responder programs.
With E.O. 13254, Establishing the USA
Freedom Corps (67 FR 4869, Feb. 1,
2002) Citizen Corps was launched as a
Presidential Initiative on January 29,
2002, with a mission to harness the
power of every individual through
education, training, and volunteer
service to make communities safer,
stronger, and better prepared for the
threats of terrorism, crime, public health
issues, and disasters of all kinds.
Another FEMA Citizen Responder
program, the CERT was originally
developed and implemented by the Los
Angeles City Fire Department in 1985.
Since 1993 when this training was made
available nationally by FEMA,
communities in 28 states and Puerto
Rico have conducted CERT training.
FEMA supports CERT by conducting or
sponsoring Train-the-Trainer and
Program Manager courses for members
of the fire, medical and emergency
management community.
To fulfill its mission, FEMA’s
Individual and Community
Preparedness Division (ICPD) will
collect information from Citizen Corps
Councils and CERT Programs through
the Citizen Responder online
registration form. The Citizen
Responder registration form will allow
FEMA as well as state, local, Tribal and
territorial personnel to evaluate whether
prospective Councils/CERTs have the
support of the appropriate government
officials in their area, ensure a dedicated
coordinator is assigned to the program,
and provide an efficient way to track the
effectiveness of the nationwide network
of Councils and CERT programs.
This proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on December 5, 2022, at 87 FR
74434 with a 60-day public comment
period. No comments were received.
The purpose of this notice is to notify
the public that FEMA will submit the
information collection abstracted below
to the Office of Management and Budget
for review and clearance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act)
(42 U.S.C. 5121–5207) authorizes the
President to establish a program of

disaster preparedness that utilizes
services of all appropriate agencies and
includes training and exercises. Section
611 of the Stafford Act (42 U.S.C. 5196)
provides that the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) may
conduct training for the purpose of
emergency preparedness. In response,
FEMA established the National
Emergency Training Center (NETC),
located in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The
NETC site has facilities and housing
available for those participating in
preparedness training and a request for
use of these areas is required to be made
in advance for the need for such. The
primary means of making advanced
requests for use of space at NETC is the
use of email communication and this
typically includes the specifics for the
use of NETC for date of arrival and
departure, how many participants, the
requirement for lodging to include how
many people, room space required,
meals required, and equipment needed.
These items that were required to be
captured by completing the Request For
Use of NETC Facilities Form are now
captured within the content of the email
communication. The secondary means
of making requests to use NETC space
is by telephone communication and
those requirements are discussed in that
manner.
The NETC is a FEMA facility which
houses all FEMA employees at
headquarters, regions, field
establishments, and other individuals
and organizations authorized to use the
facilities. The responsibilities,
procedures, and potential fees charged
for using the NETC facilities are
identified in accordance with FEMA
Directive Number 119–3, Facility Use
and Expenses at the National
Emergency Training Center dated May
21, 2018. The NETC provides training
and educational programs in emergency
response, preparedness, fire prevention
and control, disaster response, and longterm disaster recovery. The principal
purpose of FEMA Form FF–USFA–FY–
21–107 (formerly 119–17–1), Request for
Housing Accommodations, is to request
housing at the NETC, and the principal
purpose of FEMA Form FF–USFA–FY–
21–108 (formerly 119–17–2), Request for
Use of NETC Facilities, is to conduct
official business at the NETC.
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, this notice seeks
comments concerning the removal of
use of the FEMA Form FF–USFA–FY–
21–108 (formerly 119–17–2), Request
For Use of NETC Facilities, due to its
antiquated information collection
method and requirement. There is no
