Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland 
Security.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has submitted 
the following information collection to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The submission 
describes the nature of the information collection, the categories of 
respondents, the estimated burden (i.e., the time, effort and resources 
used by respondents to respond) and cost, and includes the actual data 
collection instruments FEMA will use.
    Title: Federal Assistance for Offsite Radiological Emergency.
    OMB Number: 1660-0024.
    Abstract: In accordance with Executive Order 12657, FEMA \1\ will 
need certain information from the licensee in order to form a decision 
as to whether or not a condition of ``decline or fail'' exists on the 
part of State or local governments (44 CFR 352.3-4). This information 
will be collected by the appropriate FEMA Regional Office or 
Headquarters. Also in accordance with the Executive Order, when a 
licensee requests Federal facilities or resources, FEMA will need 
information from the NRC as to whether the licensee has made maximum 
use of its resources and the extent to which the licensee has complied 
with 10 CFR 50.47 (c)(1) and 44 CFR 352.5. This information will be 
collected by the NRC and will be provided to FEMA through consultation 
between the two agencies.

this data collection will be transferred to the Preparedness 
Directorate.
