concerns (as defined by Section 3 of the 

Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632)). 

The December 24, 2008 Federal Register 

notice contained an extensive 

discussion of DHS’ approaches to best 

reflect the interests of small businesses 

and the purpose of the PS-Prep Program. 

DHS continues to seek comments from 

small businesses and others on the 

adoption of these standards and their 

impact on future decisions to seek 

certification under the PS-Prep Program. 

VII. Questions for Which Comment or 

Recommendations Are Specifically 

Sought 

The Department requests comments, 

suggestions, or other advice regarding 

the PS-Prep Program, including but not 

limited to responses to the following 

questions: 

1. Are there reasons that DHS should 

not adopt any one of the three standards 

listed above? 

2. Are there any supporting guidance 

materials in addition to the three 

identified standards that are needed to 

help the private sector attain 

certification to one of the three 

standards? 

3. What factors would a business 

consider in determining which DHS 

adopted standard(s) to pursue for 

certification under the PS-Prep 

Program? 

4. What are the reasons for businesses 

to seek certification under these 

identified standards? 

5. How would the fact that an 

organization is certified under the PSPrep Program affect or otherwise 

influence your decision to do business 

with them? 

6. In response to the December 2008 

Federal Register notice, DHS received 

numerous comments promoting the use 

of a ‘‘maturity model process 

improvement approach’’ for business 

preparedness and continuity. The 

maturity model was described as an 

approach whereby certifications on 

certain standards could be incremental, 

i.e., grading on a scale of conformance, 

rather than a conformance/nonconformance basis. The notice noted 

that certifications will determine 

conformity or non-conformity with a 

particular standard. How could the use 

of a maturity model approach be 

applied to certification to any of these 

standards? 

7. What may be the potential impact 

(e.g., cost, return on investment, other 

considerations, etc.) on small businesses 

when attempting to implement any of 

the above identified standards?

Administrator, Federal Emergency 

Management Agency.
