and processes. The Agency will
minimize the burden on respondents by
sampling as appropriate, asking for
readily available information, and using
short, easy-to-complete information
collection instruments.
Without regular mechanisms for
collecting and generating customer
insights, the Agency is not able to
provide the public with the highest
level of service. These activities will be
coordinated to ensure that most
individual respondents will not be
asked to respond to more than one
survey instrument per transaction or to
participate in more than one qualitative
feedback or testing activity.
Activity and survey instructions will
provide all necessary assurances of
confidentiality to the respondents.
Although there is no requirement for
such an assurance in statute, the quality
of this type of information requires
respondent candor and anonymity.
This is a no changes to the burden or
information being collected.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
which:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CISA
previously published this information
collection request (ICR) in the Federal
Register on October 20, 2022 for a 60day public comment period. One
comment was received from the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) during the 60 Day
FRN comment period for the Incident
Communications Activity Report. The
response to this comment has been
addressed within the contents of this
30–DAY FRN. The purpose of this
notice is to allow additional 30-days for
public comments.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency (CISA) Emergency
Communications Division (ECD) is
mandated by The Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Act of 2018, 6
U.S.C. 652(f) under Sections (9) carry
out emergency communications
responsibilities, in accordance with subchapter XIII; (10) carry out
cybersecurity, infrastructure security,
and emergency communications
stakeholder outreach and engagement
and coordinate that outreach and
engagement with critical infrastructure
Sector Risk Management Agencies, as
appropriate; and (11) provide education,
training, and capacity development to
Federal and non-Federal entities to
enhance the security and resiliency of
domestic and global cybersecurity and
infrastructure security;.
This information collection is
requested to be completed by ECD
stakeholders—including state and local
emergency communications
professionals—through The Incident
Communications Activity Report (ICAR)
form. The ICAR was developed with the
intention of capturing and documenting
the emergency communications activity
and utilization of public safety
communications technologies
controlled by state or local emergency
response officials organized to provide
command and coordination for an
incident, planned event, or exercise. As
a result, CISA/ECD seeks to execute a
standard request from the Paper
Reduction Act (PRA) to review, analyze,
and revise current Incident
Communication Activity.
The Emergency Communications
Division (ECD) is a division within the

Security Agency (CISA) which serves
under the direction of the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS). ECD
coordinates with National Security and
Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP)
communications stakeholders to enable
use of technical assistance and
information sharing to reduce
communications system impacts or
vulnerabilities. CISA has authority to
perform assessments and evaluations for
federal and non-federal entities, with
consent and upon request. CISA
leverages several different authorities,
including but not limited to Presidential
Policy Directive—21 (PPD–21), the
National Infrastructure Protection Plan
(NIPP) Voluntary Partnership
Framework, and Sec. 871 of the
Homeland Security Act of 2002 to
fullfill the Department’s responsibility
to
‘‘[c]onduct comprehensive assessments of
the vulnerabilities of the Nation’s critical
infrastructure in coordination with the Sector
Rick Management Agencies and in
collaboration with SLTT [State, Local, Tribal,
and Territorial] entities and critical
infrastructure owners and operators.’’

The one comment CISA received is
from CTIA—The Wireless Association®
(‘‘CTIA’’) (), which represents the U.S.
wireless communications industry and
companies throughout the mobile
ecosystem that enable Americans to lead
a 21st century connected life. The
association’s members include wireless
carriers, device manufacturers,
suppliers, as well as apps and content
companies. CTIA advocates for
government policies that foster
continued wireless innovation and
investment. CTIA’s comment states:
‘‘CISA should refrain from directing state
and local public safety officials from opining
on the general availability of commercial
‘‘cellular’’ services during a disaster event
through Incident Communications Activity
Reports.’’

The ICAR does not collect
information regarding any system
availability, therefore it does not collect
information regarding commercial
system availability or performance. As a
result, the 30-day FRN does not include
the previous identification of public
safety communications technologies and
has also been updated within all
applicable areas to read:
‘‘emergency communications activity and
utilization of public safety communications
technologies controlled by state or local
emergency response officials.’’

The information collected will
provide on-the-ground data on
emergency communications activity and
utilization of public safety
communications technologies

controlled by state or local emergency
response officials organized to provide
command and coordination for an
incident, planned event, or exercise.
The information captured focuses on
a number of key areas: incident
complexity, command and coordination
systems, and all-hazards information
and communications technology
positions, resources (e.g. voice and data
systems, interoperability techniques,
and planning references), challenges
and general conditions encountered
during the incident.
ICAR will be submitted electronically
by the emergency responder with
overall information and
communications technology
responsibilities within the identified
command and coordination
organization, for a reporting period.
This information will inform other
jurisdictions on best practices while
permitting data-driven decisions on
future policy improvements. CISA, in
support of the National Council of
Statewide Interoperability Coordinators
(NCSWIC) and the CISA interoperablecommunications program known as
SAFECOM, will collect data through a
two-page report to capture the
emergency communications activity and
utilization of public safety
communications technologies
controlled by state or local emergency
response officials organized to provide
command and coordination for an
incident, planned event, or exercise.
CISA’s goal is to identify lessons
learned to drive strategy and improve
existing or offer new technical
assistance within the scope of
emergency communications activity for
Incidents, Planned Events, or Exercises.
The ICAR is completed by the person
with overall information and
communications technology
responsibilities with the identified
command and coordination
organization, for the indicated reporting
period.
The reporting period is flexible to
meet agency or jurisdictional program
needs. The report is designed to
accommodate a single report for the
incident or event duration, or multiple
reports for smaller time periods within
the same incident or event. State, local,
territorial, or tribal incident
communications organizational and
technical challenges and best practices
will be captured. Collecting and
summarizing this data will drive our
nationwide response, drive strategy, and
goal development—subsequently
improving existing and/or offer new
Technical Assistance options to
stakeholders.

The ICAR is an electronically
submitted form to populate the data sets
which will be loaded, stored, and
analyzed in the Division’s data analytics
system. Electronic data collection
enables an efficient and straightforward
submission process to submit, reducing
the time and effort for the submitter
while also reducing errors.
ICAR form is voluntarily submitted
using a Microsoft Teams Form link. The
ICAR form will require a total effort of
approximately five minutes for
completion. The ICAR form will be
completed per incident. Leveraging the
MS Forms and a fillable PDF there will
be no printing of forms needed, no
preparing and sending emails or memos
per incident. Participants will be able to
input free form information in addition
to drop down type questions.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
which:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
