SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2006,
Congress passed Public Law 109–295,
which included SEC. 671. EMERGENCY
COMMUNICATIONS also known as the
‘‘21st Century Emergency
Communications Act of 2006’. The
legislation established the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of
Emergency Communications, which was
re-designated in 2018 as the Emergency
Communications Division (ECD) within
the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency (CISA), to lead the
development and implementation of a
comprehensive approach to advancing
national interoperable communications
capabilities. The following
responsibilities were established: 6
U.S.C. 571(c) which requires the DHS
Secretary through the ECD Assistant
Director to: (4) Conduct extensive,
nationwide outreach to support and
promote the ability of emergency
response providers and relevant
government officials to continue to
communicate in the event of natural
disasters, acts of terrorism, and other
man-made disasters; (13) develop and
update periodically, as appropriate, a
National Emergency Communications
Plan (NECP) under section 572 of this
title; (14) perform such other duties of
the Department necessary to support
and promote the ability of emergency
response providers and relevant
government officials to continue to
communicate in the event of natural
disasters, acts of terrorism, and other

man-made disasters; and (15) perform
other duties of the Department
necessary to achieve the goal of and
maintain and enhance interoperable
emergency communications
capabilities. 6 U.S.C. 572(a) requires the
Secretary in cooperation with State,
local, and tribal governments, Federal
departments and agencies, emergency
response providers, and the private
sector, to develop not later than 180
days after the completion of the baseline
assessment under section 573 of this
title, and periodically update the NECP.
Lastly, 6 U.S.C. 573 requires the DHS
Secretary to conduct an assessment of
Federal, State, local, and tribal
governments that defines the range of
capabilities needed by emergency
response providers and relevant
government officials, assesses the
current available capabilities to meet
such communications needs; identify
the gaps between such current
capabilities and defined requirements;
at least every five years. These
authorities, in addition to DHS
responsibilities through Executive Order
13618 in the area of national security/
emergency providers’ communications,
require periodic reexamination of
nationwide emergency communications
capabilities.
To perform these statutory
obligations, CISA seeks renewal of its
PRA Generic Clearance to maintain
flexibility in implementing surveys that
are relevant to the current emergency
communications environment. To meet
the statutory requirements of 6 U.S.C.
573, ECD conducts the SAFECOM
Nationwide Survey (SNS) to assess
evolving capability needs and gaps and
track progress against policy initiatives,
status of strategic plans, and major
industry or market shifts affecting the
emergency communications capability.
The purpose of the SNS is to gather
information to assess available
emergency communications capabilities
and identify gaps and needs for
emergency response providers to
effectively communicate during all
types of natural or man-made hazards.
CISA ECD uses this information to
complete its statutorily mandated
assessment and share the data with all
stakeholders that have a role in
emergency communications. In order to
ascertain this information, the SNS is
comprised of a battery of instruments
designed and distributed to emergency
response disciplines at the federal,
state/territorial, tribal, and local (county
and municipal) levels of government, as
well as the private sector. Methods of
administration (questionnaire or
interview) and distribution (online web
form distributed via email or print forms

distributed by mail) are used as
appropriate to meet the needs and
preferences of various segments of the
target population. The SNS solicits
responses regarding issues affecting the
emergency communications to
determine a jurisdiction’s level of
communications operability,
interoperability, continuity, and
security. CISA ECD analyzes the data
collected from this general survey to
identify major gaps and themes affecting
emergency communications across
levels of government. This analysis
informs the development of
supplemental surveys and information
collections tailored to specific needs
across the emergency response
community, as well as future iterations
of the Nationwide Baseline
Communications Assessment (NCBA),
Biennial Progress Report (BPR),
National Emergency Communications
Plan (NECP), and other products and
initiatives that enable ECD to carry out
its statutory responsibilities at 6 U.S.C.
571(c).
Findings from the SNS provide
invaluable insights that CISA ECD
shares with emergency communications
partners at all levels of government
which assists with: (1) Statewide
Communications Interoperability Plan
(SCIP) development, (2) Threat and
Hazard Identification Risk Analysis
(THIRA) development, (3) state-level
grant programs and guidance, and (4)
funding and resource sharing strategy
development.
CISA ECD also conducts
supplemental surveys to complete
statutorily mandated activities (6 U.S.C.
571(c), 572(a), and 573) and will share
the data with relevant emergency
communications partners. The
SAFECOM supplemental surveys
deploy topic-specific or targeted surveys
to various emergency response
disciplines at the federal, state,
territorial, tribal, and local levels of
government, as appropriate, as well as
the private sector. The instruments
solicit responses regarding targeted
issues affecting specific segments of the
emergency response community. CISA
ECD analyzes the data collected from
these supplemental surveys to identify
changing requirements, mitigate risks,
and help further inform the data
collected from the SNS.

Termination of the Designation of Haiti
for Temporary Protected Status
U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS),
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

Through this notice, the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) newly announces that the
Secretary of Homeland Security
(Secretary) is terminating the
designation of Haiti for Temporary
Protected Status. Because of interference
by a federal district court judge, the
designation of Haiti is set to expire on
February 3, 2026. After reviewing
country conditions and consulting with
appropriate U.S. Government agencies,
the Secretary determined that Haiti no
longer meets the conditions for the
designation for Temporary Protected
Status. The Secretary, therefore, is
newly terminating the Temporary
Protected Status designation of Haiti as
required by statute. This termination is
effective February 3, 2026. After
February 3, 2026, nationals of Haiti (and
aliens having no nationality who last
habitually resided in Haiti) who have
been granted Temporary Protected
Status under Haiti’s designation will no
longer have Temporary Protected Status.
This determination to terminate the TPS
designation for Haiti supersedes the
determination announced in the July 1,
2025 notice, ‘‘Termination of the
Designation of Haiti for Temporary
Protected Status.’’

What is Temporary Protected Status?
The Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA) authorizes the Secretary of
Homeland Security, after consultation
with appropriate agencies of the U.S.
Government, to designate a foreign state
(or part thereof) for Temporary
Protected Status (TPS) if the Secretary
determines that certain country
conditions exist. See INA sec. 244(b)(1),
8 U.S.C. 1254a(b)(1). The Secretary, in
her discretion, may grant Temporary
Protected Status to eligible nationals of
that foreign state (or aliens having no
nationality who last habitually resided
in the designated foreign state). See INA
sec. 244(a)(1)(A), 8 U.S.C.
1254a(a)(1)(A).
At least 60 days before the expiration
of a foreign state’s Temporary Protected
Status designation or extension, the
Secretary—after consultation with
appropriate U.S. Government agencies—
must review the conditions in the
foreign state designated for Temporary
Protected Status to determine whether
the conditions for the Temporary
Protected Status designation continue to
be met. See INA sec. 244(b)(3)(A), 8
U.S.C. 1254a(b)(3)(A). If the Secretary
determines that the conditions in the
foreign state continue to meet the
specific statutory criteria for the
designation, Temporary Protected Status
will be extended for an additional
period of 6 months or, in the Secretary’s
discretion, 12 or 18 months. See INA
sec. 244(b)(3)(A), (C), 8 U.S.C.
1254a(b)(3)(A), (C). If the Secretary
determines that the foreign state no
longer meets the conditions for
Temporary Protected Status designation,
the Secretary must terminate the
