To support the development of public
outreach and education efforts that will improve the emergency
preparedness, FEMA's Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness
Program (CSEPP) will collect data from the citizens living in the
Immediate Response Zones (IRZ) and Protective Action Zones (PAZ)
surrounding stockpile sites. Program managers use survey data
findings to evaluate public awareness of protective actions at
CSEPP sites, and identify outreach weaknesses and strengths to
develop effective outreach and education campaigns. Results from
this information collection are shared with State, local, Tribal,
and other FEMA officials for subsequent action plans addressing
program-wide and stockpile site-specific issues. Results are also
shared with other Federal agencies that lend expertise in specific
areas of the program.

FEMA Form 008-0-7 will continue
to be used. This form is the telephone survey questionnaire for the
CSEPP site in Kentucky and the current estimated annual cost burden
is $4,272.90, resulting in an increase (program change) of $136.18.
The increase in cost burden results from an increase in annual
responses due to increased population in the EPZ of the Kentucky
site and increased wage rates in Kentucky. FEMA Form 008-0-8 will
no longer be used by the program office, resulting in decrease
(adjustment) of $4,261.08. Reasons for the adjustments include the
fact that as the demilitarization of chemical weapons progresses
some CSEPP sites have completed program closeout and anticipate no
need for future surveys. FEMA Form 008-0-3 will continue to be
used. This form is the telephone survey questionnaire for the CSEPP
site in Colorado and the current estimated annual cost burden is
$4,707.98, resulting in an increase (program change) of $208.62.
The increase in cost burden results from an increase in annual
responses due to increased population in the EPZ at the Colorado
site and increased wage rates in Colorado. FEMA Form 008-0-3INT

questionnaire for the CSEPP site in Colorado and the current
estimated annual cost burden is $305.25, resulting in no change in
the cost burden. FEMA Form 008-0-4 will continue to be used. This
form is the telephone survey questionnaire for the residential
survey to be conducted in the Pueblo City area. The current
estimated annual cost burden is $1,621.94, resulting in an increase
(program change) of $31.95. In spite of a decrease in annual
responses, the increase in cost burden results from an increase in
wage rates in Colorado. FEMA Form 008-0-5 will continue to be used.
This form is the telephone survey questionnaire for the businesses
near the CSEPP site in Colorado and the current estimated annual
cost burden is $924.07, resulting in an increase (program change)

demilitarization of chemical weapons progresses some CSEPP sites
have completed program closeout and anticipate no need for future
surveys.
