Federal Register / Vol. 91, No. 159 / Wednesday, August 19, 2026 / Notices
development of interoperable
emergency communications capabilities
by state, regional, local, and tribal
governments and public safety agencies,
and by regional consortia thereof. To
achieve this, ECD provides the
communications assets and survey
mapping (CASM) tool. The CASM tool
is the primary resource nationwide for
the emergency communications
community to inventory and share asset
and training information for the purpose
of planning public safety
communications operability and
interoperability. ECD provides the
communications assets survey and
mapping (CASM) tool as a secure and
free nationwide database to contain
communications capabilities for use by
federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal
(SLTT) emergency personnel. CASM
allows federal employees and SLTT
statewide interoperability coordinators
(SWIC) to inventory emergency
communication equipment and
resources. The information entered is
voluntary and used by SWIC to support
tactical planning and coordination
during emergencies. ECD does not
utilize the information entered into
CASM. ECD only provides, maintains,
and stores the information entered in
the CASM database and only has
administrative access to the information
entered.

CASM Registration
To get access to the CASM tool, users
click on the ‘‘request new access’’ link
on the CASM login page (https://
login.CASM.cisa.dhs.gov/). The
registration requires that users enter
their name, contact information, reason
for their access request, type of data to
access, and access level. Once entered,
the access request is routed to their
organization’s approving authority.
Once the organization’s approving
authority vets and authorizes the access
request, the user account is
automatically created, and users are
notified via an auto-generated email.
CASM Modules
The CASM consists of voluntary
modules related to the different types of
capabilities. There is a module for
assets, which contains information
about emergency equipment, the
equipment capabilities and location.
There is a personnel module, which
contains personnel name, contact
information and information about their
communications unit (COMU) training.
The personnel module allows SWICs to
track their personnel’s COMU training.
All information is collected via
electronic means. The CASM
registration and database tool is

available online via https://
login.CASM.cisa.dhs.gov/. Users can
also access and enter information via
the CASM resource finder mobile app.
This information collection does not
impact small businesses or other small
entities. This database allows ECD to
execute its statutory authority under 6
U.S.C. 571 to conduct extensive,
nationwide outreach to support and
promote the ability of emergency
response providers and relevant
government officials to continue to
communicate in the event of natural
disasters, acts of terrorism, and other
man-made disasters. Without CASM
and the federal government’s ability to
empower the states, ECD would not
have an organic way for states to create
a centralized and secure emergency
assets and equipment database.
Information is protected by the Privacy
Act of 1974 and is kept private or
anonymous to the extent allowable by
law.
The DHS Privacy Office review finds
that this is a privacy sensitive collection
requiring a privacy impact assessment
(PIA) and system of records notice
(SORN). The collection is covered by
PIA—DHS/ALL/PIA–006 DHS general
contacts list and SORN—DHS/ALL–002
DHS mailing and other lists system, 73
FR 71659 (Nov. 25, 2008) and SORN—
DHS/ALL–004 general information
technology access account records
system (GITAARS), 77 FR 70792 (Nov.
27, 2012).
This is an extension of a currently
approved collection without change.
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
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
