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 respondents
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.
