The Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) After Action Report (AAR) Improvement Plan (IP) collection provides reporting on the results of preparedness exercises and provides assessments of the respondentÂs capabilities so that strengths and areas for improvement are identified, corrected, and shared as appropriate prior to a real incident. This information is also required to be submitted as part of certain FEMA grant applications.
US Code:
6 USC 748
Name of Law: Training and Exercises
There will be a small increase in the hours of the AAR/IP (FEMA Form 091-0) collection due to an increase in the number of reports estimated to be submitted from State, Local, and Tribal governments. This is due to both an increase in the number of respondents, due to Tribal governments being added to the number of respondents, and an increase in the number of responses per respondent as one annual form will be required in addition to the currently required one form per quarter. While there will still be a collection of AAR/IP (FEMA Form 091-0) from State, Local, Tribal, and territorial governments, there will no longer be a collection of the AAR/IP (FEMA Form 091-0) from the Federal Government. Additionally, the new collections of TEPs (FEMA Form 008-0-26) and NEP (FEMA Form 008-0-27) nomination forms will result in an increase in burden hours. The TEP new form annual hour burden will be 1308 annual hours and the NEP Nomination new form annual hour burden will be 100 annual hours.
