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.
US Code:

USC Sec 742 Name of Law: National Preparedness
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.
