Title: Navigation Safety Information 

and Emergency Instructions for Certain 

Towing Vessels. 

OMB Control Number: 1625–0082. 

Summary: Navigation safety 

regulations in 33 CFR part 164 help 

assure that the mariner piloting a towing 

vessel has adequate equipment, charts, 

maps, and other publications. For 

certain inspected towing vessels, under 

46 CFR 199.80 a muster list and 

emergency instructions provide 

effective plans and references for crew

vessels and the crews that operate them. 

Forms: None. 

Respondents: Owners, operators, and 

masters of vessels. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated 

burden has decreased from 387,509 

hours to 319,419 hours a year, due to a 

decrease in the estimated annual 

number of respondents. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. et seq., chapter 

35, as amended. 

Dated: September 12, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 

Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act) 

(Pub. L. 93–288, as amended) (42 U.S.C. 

5195–5195(a)) identifies the purpose of 

emergency preparedness ‘‘for the 

protection of life and property in the 

United States from hazards.’’ It directs 

that the Federal Government ‘‘provide 

necessary direction, coordination, and 

guidance’’ as authorized for a 

comprehensive emergency preparedness 

system for all hazards. Emergency 

preparedness is defined as all ‘‘activities 

and measures designed or undertaken to 

prepare or minimize the effects of a 

hazard upon the civilian population 

. . .’’ The ‘‘conduct of research’’ is 

among the measures to be undertaken in 

preparation for hazards. 

The Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS) Strategic Plan 2020– 

2024 includes Goal 5 to ‘‘strengthen 

preparedness and resiliency.’’ The first 

objective (5.1) of this goal is to ‘‘build 

a national culture of preparedness’’ with 

a sub-objective to ‘‘improve awareness

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2024 / Notices 80911 

initiatives to encourage public action to 

increase preparedness.’’ Similarly, in 

FEMA’s 2022–2026 Strategic Plan, Goal 

3 is to ‘‘promote and sustain a ready 

FEMA and prepared nation.’’ 

Presidential Policy Directive-8 (PPD– 

8) directs the Secretary of Homeland 

Security to ‘‘coordinate a 

comprehensive campaign to build and 

sustain national preparedness, 

including public outreach and 

community-based and private sector 

programs to enhance national resilience, 

the provision of Federal financial 

assistance, preparedness efforts by the 

Federal Government, and national 

research and development efforts.’’ 

The Post Katrina Emergency 

Management Reform Act (PKEMRA) 

(Pub. L. 109–295) (6 U.S.C. 749(a)) 

requires the FEMA Administrator, in 

coordination with the National Council 

on Disability and the National Advisory 

Council, to establish a comprehensive 

system to assess, on an ongoing basis, 

the Nation’s prevention capabilities and 

overall preparedness, including 

operational readiness. 

In response to the charge to FEMA, 

and to the DHS and FEMA strategic 

priorities, FEMA manages programs to 

improve the public’s knowledge and 

actions for preparedness and resilience. 

Information from this collection will be 

used to track changes in knowledge, 

attitudes, and behaviors related to 

preparedness in the general public. This 

information collection will be in the 

form of a public opinion survey 

administered to a sample of American 

adults across the nation. The nature of 

the information collected will focus on 

people’s attitudes, behaviors, and 

motivations related to disaster 

preparedness and disaster risk.

outreach, and strategic planning 

initiatives to more effectively improve 

the state of individual preparedness and 

participation across the country. The 

findings are compiled in a report that is 

circulated internally to DHS and FEMA 

officials as well as made available to the 

public on the FEMA website, 

OpenFEMA (https://www.fema.gov/
