Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 1 / Monday, January 4, 2021 / Notices 113 

* The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) voted 

to end its Laboratory Accreditation Program for 

Substance Abuse (LAPSA) effective May 12, 1998. 

Laboratories certified through that program were 

accredited to conduct forensic urine drug testing as 

required by U.S. Department of Transportation 

(DOT) regulations. As of that date, the certification 

of those accredited Canadian laboratories will 

continue under DOT authority. The responsibility 

for conducting quarterly performance testing plus 

periodic on-site inspections of those LAPSAaccredited laboratories was transferred to the U.S. 

HHS, with the HHS’ NLCP contractor continuing to 

have an active role in the performance testing and 

laboratory inspection processes. Other Canadian 

laboratories wishing to be considered for the NLCP 

may apply directly to the NLCP contractor just as 

U.S. laboratories do. 

Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to be 

qualified, HHS will recommend that DOT certify 

the laboratory (Federal Register, July 16, 1996) as 

meeting the minimum standards of the Mandatory 

Guidelines published in the Federal Register on 

January 23, 2017 (82 FR 7920). After receiving DOT 

certification, the laboratory will be included in the 

monthly list of HHS-certified laboratories and 

participate in the NLCP certification maintenance 

program.

Division for copies of the proposed 

collection of information at email 

address: FEMA-Information-CollectionsManagement@fema.dhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information is necessary to support the 

President’s priorities and allocations 

authority under the DPA implemented 

by the Emergency Management 

Priorities and Allocations System 

(EMPAS) regulation (44 CFR part 333), 

which was added by FEMA’s May 13, 

2020, Emergency Management Priorities 

and Allocations System Interim Final 

Rule (RIN 1660–AB04). The purpose of 

this authority is to ensure the timely 

delivery of products, materials, and 

services to meet current national 

defense requirements. The definition of 

‘‘national defense’’ in Section 702(14) of 

the DPA provides that this term 

includes ‘‘homeland security,’’ 

‘‘emergency preparedness activities’’ 

conducted pursuant to Section 602 of 

the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief 

and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford 

Act) (42 U.S.C. 5195a), and ‘‘critical 

infrastructure protection and 

restoration.’’ 

Collection of Information 

Title: Rated Orders, Adjustments, 

Exceptions, or Appeals Under the 

Emergency Management Priorities and 

Allocations System (EMPAS). 

Type of Information Collection: 

Revision of a currently approved 

information collection. 

OMB Number: 1660–0150. 

FEMA Forms: No forms. 

Abstract: To help ensure the timely 

delivery of goods and services in 

support of approved emergency 

management programs, section 333.13 

of the EMPAS regulation requires 

suppliers to accept or reject priority 

rated orders for these goods and services 

within established time periods (10 

working days for a ‘‘DX’’ rated order and 

15 working days for a ‘‘DO’’ rated 

order). Rated orders may be placed 

directly by the Federal Government on 

a contractor or supplier, or they may 

‘‘flow down’’ from a contractor to 

subsequent subcontractors or suppliers. 

Additionally, FEMA may facilitate sales 

to third parties. Section 333.13 also 

requires that certain emergency 

preparedness rated orders must be 

accepted or rejected within shorter time 

periods as specified in section 

333.12(b). Section 333.13(d)(3) of the 

EMPAS regulation requires that, if after 

acceptance of a rated order the supplier 

discovers that shipment or performance 

against the order will be delayed, the 

supplier must notify the customer 

immediately in written electronic 

format, giving the reasons for the delay 

and advising the customer of a new 

shipment or performance date. This 

collection of information involves order 

communications between a Federal 

Government prime contractor and its 

subcontractors, unless FEMA is 

facilitating a sale to a third party. In 

those situations, FEMA would collect 

information on the customer as part of 

the sale facilitation. 

Finally, under section 333.70 each 

request for adjustment or exception 

must be in writing and contain a 

complete statement of all the facts and 

circumstances related to 44 CFR part 

333 or official action from which 

adjustment is sought and a full and 

precise statement of the reasons why 

relief should be provided. Under section 

333.71, any person who has had a 

request for adjustment or exception 

denied by FEMA under section 333.70 

may appeal to the Administrator. Each 

appeal must be in writing and contain 

a complete statement of all the facts and 

circumstances related to the action 

appealed from a full and precise 

statement of the reasons the decision 

should be modified or reversed. 

Affected Public: For Profit Business;

Comments 

Comments may be submitted as 

indicated in the ADDRESSES caption

practical utility; (b) evaluate the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses.
