and processes. The Agency will 

minimize the burden on respondents by 

sampling as appropriate, asking for 

readily available information, and using 

short, easy-to-complete information 

collection instruments. 

Without regular mechanisms for 

collecting and generating customer 

insights, the Agency is not able to 

provide the public with the highest 

level of service. These activities will be 

coordinated to ensure that most 

individual respondents will not be 

asked to respond to more than one 

survey instrument per transaction or to 

participate in more than one qualitative 

feedback or testing activity. 

Activity and survey instructions will 

provide all necessary assurances of 

confidentiality to the respondents. 

Although there is no requirement for 

such an assurance in statute, the quality 

of this type of information requires 

respondent candor and anonymity. 

This is a no changes to the burden or 

information being collected. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

which: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

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 

collected; and 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CISA 

previously published this information 

collection request (ICR) in the Federal 

Register on October 20, 2022 for a 60- 

day public comment period. One 

comment was received from the Cellular 

Telecommunications Industry 

Association (CTIA) during the 60 Day 

FRN comment period for the Incident 

Communications Activity Report. The 

response to this comment has been 

addressed within the contents of this 

30–DAY FRN. The purpose of this 

notice is to allow additional 30-days for 

public comments. 

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure 

Security Agency (CISA) Emergency 

Communications Division (ECD) is 

mandated by The Cybersecurity and 

Infrastructure Security Act of 2018, 6 

U.S.C. 652(f) under Sections (9) carry 

out emergency communications 

responsibilities, in accordance with subchapter XIII; (10) carry out 

cybersecurity, infrastructure security, 

and emergency communications 

stakeholder outreach and engagement 

and coordinate that outreach and 

engagement with critical infrastructure 

Sector Risk Management Agencies, as 

appropriate; and (11) provide education, 

training, and capacity development to 

Federal and non-Federal entities to 

enhance the security and resiliency of 

domestic and global cybersecurity and 

infrastructure security;. 

This information collection is 

requested to be completed by ECD 

stakeholders—including state and local 

emergency communications 

professionals—through The Incident 

Communications Activity Report (ICAR) 

form. The ICAR was developed with the 

intention of capturing and documenting 

the emergency communications activity 

and utilization of public safety 

communications technologies 

controlled by state or local emergency 

response officials organized to provide 

command and coordination for an 

incident, planned event, or exercise. As 

a result, CISA/ECD seeks to execute a 

standard request from the Paper 

Reduction Act (PRA) to review, analyze, 

and revise current Incident 

Communication Activity. 

The Emergency Communications 

Division (ECD) is a division within the 

Cybersecurity and Infrastructure 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 5, 2023 / Notices 60699 

Security Agency (CISA) which serves 

under the direction of the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS). ECD 

coordinates with National Security and 

Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP) 

communications stakeholders to enable 

use of technical assistance and 

information sharing to reduce 

communications system impacts or 

vulnerabilities. CISA has authority to 

perform assessments and evaluations for 

federal and non-federal entities, with 

consent and upon request. CISA 

leverages several different authorities, 

including but not limited to Presidential 

Policy Directive—21 (PPD–21), the 

National Infrastructure Protection Plan 

(NIPP) Voluntary Partnership 

Framework, and Sec. 871 of the 

Homeland Security Act of 2002 to 

fullfill the Department’s responsibility 

to 

‘‘[c]onduct comprehensive assessments of 

the vulnerabilities of the Nation’s critical 

infrastructure in coordination with the Sector 

Rick Management Agencies and in 

collaboration with SLTT [State, Local, Tribal, 

and Territorial] entities and critical 

infrastructure owners and operators.’’ 

The one comment CISA received is 

from CTIA—The Wireless Association®

(‘‘CTIA’’) (), which represents the U.S. 

wireless communications industry and 

companies throughout the mobile 

ecosystem that enable Americans to lead 

a 21st century connected life. The 

association’s members include wireless 

carriers, device manufacturers, 

suppliers, as well as apps and content 

companies. CTIA advocates for 

government policies that foster 

continued wireless innovation and 

investment. CTIA’s comment states: 

‘‘CISA should refrain from directing state 

and local public safety officials from opining 

on the general availability of commercial 

‘‘cellular’’ services during a disaster event 

through Incident Communications Activity 

Reports.’’ 

The ICAR does not collect 

information regarding any system 

availability, therefore it does not collect 

information regarding commercial 

system availability or performance. As a 

result, the 30-day FRN does not include 

the previous identification of public 

safety communications technologies and 

has also been updated within all 

applicable areas to read: 

‘‘emergency communications activity and 

utilization of public safety communications 

technologies controlled by state or local 

emergency response officials.’’ 

The information collected will 

provide on-the-ground data on 

emergency communications activity and 

utilization of public safety 

communications technologies 

controlled by state or local emergency 

response officials organized to provide 

command and coordination for an 

incident, planned event, or exercise. 

The information captured focuses on 

a number of key areas: incident 

complexity, command and coordination 

systems, and all-hazards information 

and communications technology 

positions, resources (e.g. voice and data 

systems, interoperability techniques, 

and planning references), challenges 

and general conditions encountered 

during the incident. 

ICAR will be submitted electronically 

by the emergency responder with 

overall information and 

communications technology 

responsibilities within the identified 

command and coordination 

organization, for a reporting period. 

This information will inform other 

jurisdictions on best practices while 

permitting data-driven decisions on 

future policy improvements. CISA, in 

support of the National Council of 

Statewide Interoperability Coordinators 

(NCSWIC) and the CISA interoperablecommunications program known as 

SAFECOM, will collect data through a 

two-page report to capture the 

emergency communications activity and 

utilization of public safety 

communications technologies 

controlled by state or local emergency 

response officials organized to provide 

command and coordination for an 

incident, planned event, or exercise. 

CISA’s goal is to identify lessons 

learned to drive strategy and improve 

existing or offer new technical 

assistance within the scope of 

emergency communications activity for 

Incidents, Planned Events, or Exercises. 

The ICAR is completed by the person 

with overall information and 

communications technology 

responsibilities with the identified 

command and coordination 

organization, for the indicated reporting 

period. 

The reporting period is flexible to 

meet agency or jurisdictional program 

needs. The report is designed to 

accommodate a single report for the 

incident or event duration, or multiple 

reports for smaller time periods within 

the same incident or event. State, local, 

territorial, or tribal incident 

communications organizational and 

technical challenges and best practices 

will be captured. Collecting and 

summarizing this data will drive our 

nationwide response, drive strategy, and 

goal development—subsequently 

improving existing and/or offer new 

Technical Assistance options to 

stakeholders. 

The ICAR is an electronically 

submitted form to populate the data sets 

which will be loaded, stored, and 

analyzed in the Division’s data analytics 

system. Electronic data collection 

enables an efficient and straightforward 

submission process to submit, reducing 

the time and effort for the submitter 

while also reducing errors. 

ICAR form is voluntarily submitted 

using a Microsoft Teams Form link. The 

ICAR form will require a total effort of 

approximately five minutes for 

completion. The ICAR form will be 

completed per incident. Leveraging the 

MS Forms and a fillable PDF there will 

be no printing of forms needed, no 

preparing and sending emails or memos 

per incident. Participants will be able to 

input free form information in addition 

to drop down type questions. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

which: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

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 

collected; and 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses.
