In the National Incident Management System collection tool, data will be collected on the respondent's ability to meet the established NIMS Implementation Objectives. The State Preparedness Report collection tool will address questions about current capabilities that have not already been answered through other assessments and reports, focusing on level of performance of individual activities for the 37 capabilities set forth in the Target Capabilities List (TCL) 2.0. FEMA collects this data to guide policy and resource allocation decisions.

*Frequency of Response:*                     Once.                

*Estimated Average Hour Burden per Respondent:*                     6.10 hours.                

*Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:*                     24,278 hours.
