This information collection
accompanies a final rule that sets forth the policies and
procedures by which the Secretary of the Department of
Transportation would carry out certain authorities and
responsibilities assigned under Executive Order 12656, the
Assignment of Emergency Preparedness responsibilities. The Defense
Production Act of 2009 (P.L. 111-67, September 30, 2009) requires
each Federal agency with delegated authority under section 101 to
issue final rules establishing standards and procedures to promote
the national defense, under both emergency and non- emergency
conditions, and is part of a multi-agency effort that forms the
Federal Priorities and Allocations System. Simply put, the
information collection facilitates the supply of critical resources
from the U.S. industrial base to support national defense, and
protect and restore critical infrastructure components.
