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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OEC, 

formed under Title XVIII of the 

Homeland Security Act of 2002, 6 

U.S.C. 101 et seq., is required to develop 

the NECP, which will include 

identification of goals, timeframes, and 

appropriate measures to achieve 

interoperable communications 

capabilities. The NECP Tribal Report is 

designed to meet these statutory 

requirements. 

OEC will use the information gained 

through the reports to track progress 

that tribes are making in implementing 

milestones and demonstrating goals of 

the NECP. The report will provide OEC 

with broader capability data across the 

lanes of the Interoperability Continuum, 

which are key indicators of consistent 

success in response-level 

communications. 

Tribes with public safety capabilities 

(police, fire, emergency medical 

services, emergency managers, 

dispatchers, radio operators, 

government workers, etc.) will be 

responsible for collecting this 

information from their respective tribes. 

Tribal points of contact will complete 

and submit the report directly to OEC 

through paper mailing at DHS/NPPD/
