Abstract: FEMA's Individual and Community Preparedness Division is seeking approval on this information collection for its registration of individuals and organizations for the National Day of Action. As part of 6 U.S.C. Sec. 742 and Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8): National Preparedness, the President tasked the Secretary of Homeland Security to “coordinate a comprehensive campaign to build and sustain national preparedness, including public outreach and community-based and private-sector programs to enhance national resilience.” These entities taking part in the National Day of Action register their planned events through this information collection effort.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Forms

Short Statement: The decreases in burden hours and in respondent costs from the last renewal resulted from FEMA’s surveying practice that limits the size of the survey variations to no more than 20 questions. That change effectively lowered the total annual burden hours from 15,000 to 7,174. The reduction in burden hours was offset slightly by an increase in the number of respondents from 50,000 to 86,115. There were no changes in the number of responses per respondent.
