SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act
of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–498, as amended)
(15 U.S.C. 2201 et seq.) originates from
an exhaustive and comprehensive
examination of the Nation’s fire
problem, which made detailed findings
as to the extent of this problem in terms
of human suffering and loss of life and
property, and it made ninety thoughtful
recommendations. Many of these
recommendations relate directly to the
instruments which are a part of this
information collection such as the
National Fire Data Center, the National
Fire Academy, and the Fire &
Emergency Management Services (EMS)
information requests for safety and
educational materials.
Executive Order 12862 directs Federal
Agencies to provide service to the
public that matches or exceeds the best
service available in the private sector.
To work continuously to ensure that our
programs are effective and meet our
customers’ needs, FEMA seeks to obtain
Office of Management and Budget
approval of a generic clearance to
collect qualitative and quantitative data
feedback on our service delivery. By
qualitative feedback, we mean
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions
and numerical data on fire and EMS
incidents that yield quantitative results
that can be generalized to the
population of study.
USFA maintains several information
technology systems which assist USFA
in delivering information, products, and
services to the fire service, affiliated
organizations, and the public. Collecting
information for these instruments aids
in the administration of USFA programs
in support of State, local, Tribal, and
territorial assistance as well as
individuals, Federal Government, and
members of the private sector.
This information collection is
necessary to enable the USFA to garner
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient, timely manner in
accordance with our commitment to
improving service delivery. The
information collected from our
customers and stakeholders will help
ensure that users have an effective,
efficient, and satisfying experience with
the USFA’s programs. This feedback
will provide insights into customer or
stakeholder perceptions, experiences,
and expectations; provide an early
warning of issues with service; or focus
attention on areas where
communication, training, or changes in

operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative,
and actionable communications
between the USFA and its customers
and stakeholders. It will also allow
feedback to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
This proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on May 21, 2024, at 89 FR
44693 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.

Background

The U.S.
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), on behalf of the Forced Labor
Enforcement Task Force (FLETF), is
announcing the publication of the
updated UFLPA Entity List, a
consolidated register of the four lists
required to be developed and
maintained pursuant to section
2(d)(2)(B) of the Uyghur Forced Labor
Prevention Act (Pub. L. 117–78)
(UFLPA), to https://www.dhs.gov/uflpaentity-list. The UFLPA Entity List is
available as an appendix to this notice.
This update adds four entities to the
section 2(d)(2)(B)(v) list of the UFLPA,
which identifies facilities and entities
that source material from the Xinjiang
Uyghur Autonomous Region or from
persons working with the government of
Xinjiang or the Xinjiang Production and
Construction Corps for purposes of the
‘‘poverty alleviation’’ program or the
‘‘pairing-assistance’’ program or any
other government labor scheme that
uses forced labor. This update also
removes one entity from the section
2(d)(2)(B)(i) list of the UFLPA, which
identifies entities in the Xinjiang
Uyghur Autonomous Region that mine,
produce, or manufacture wholly or in
part any goods, wares, articles, and
merchandise with forced labor. Future
revisions to the UFLPA Entity List,
which may include additions, removals
or technical corrections, will be
published to https://www.dhs.gov/uflpaentitylist and in the appendices of future
Federal Register notices. See appendix
1.
Beginning on June 21, 2022, the
UFLPA requires the Commissioner of
U.S. Customs and Border Protection to
apply a rebuttable presumption that
goods mined, produced, or
manufactured by entities on the UFLPA
Entity List are made with forced labor,
and therefore, prohibited from
importation into the United States
under 19 U.S.C. 1307. See section 3(a)
of the UFLPA. As the FLETF revises the
UFLPA Entity List, including by making
additions, removals, or technical
corrections, DHS, on its behalf, will post
such revisions to the DHS UFLPA
website (https://www.dhs.gov/uflpaentity-list) and also publish the revised
UFLPA Entity List as an appendix to a
Federal Register notice.

Section 741 of the United StatesMexico-Canada Agreement
Implementation Act established the
FLETF to monitor United States
enforcement of the prohibition under
section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 1307). See 19 U.S.C.
4681. Pursuant to DHS Delegation Order
No. 23034, the DHS Under Secretary for
Strategy, Policy, and Plans serves as
Chair of the FLETF, an interagency task
force that includes the Department of
Homeland Security, the Office of the
U.S. Trade Representative, and the
Departments of Labor, State, Justice, the
Treasury, and Commerce (member
agencies).1 See 19 U.S.C. 4681; Executive
Order 13923 (May 15, 2020). In
addition, the FLETF includes six
observer agencies: the Departments of
Energy and Agriculture, the U.S. Agency
for International Development, the
National Security Council, U.S. Customs
and Border Protection, and U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement
Homeland Security Investigations.
