AGENCY: Office of Health Affairs, 

Department of Homeland Security. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Chemical Defense 

Program (CDP), under the Department of 

Homeland Security Office of Health 

Affairs (OHA), and Office of the 

Assistant Secretary for Preparedness 

and Response (ASPR), under the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS), are seeking public 

comment on a document titled ‘‘Patient 

Decontamination in a Mass Chemical 

Exposure Incident: National Planning 

Guidance for Communities.’’ 

DATES: Submit the completed comment 

matrix on or before May 19, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted, identified by docket number 

DHS–2014–0012, by one of the 

following methods: 

• Federal e-Rulemaking Portal: http://

www.regulations.gov. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the words ‘‘Department of 

Homeland Security and docket number 

for this rulemaking. All comments 

received will be posted without change 

to http://www.regulations.gov, including 

any personal information provided. 

Docket: For access to the docket to 

read background documents or

www.regulations.gov and type the 

docket number (DHS–2014–0012) into 

the ‘‘SEARCH for: Rules, Comments, 

Adjudications or Supporting 

Documents:’’ field in the middle of the 

Web site. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

guidance document is developed for 

senior leaders, planners, incident 

commanders, emergency management 

personnel and trainers of local response 

organizations and health care facilities; 

it contains strategic-level, evidencebased best practices for use when 

planning and conducting patient 

decontamination in a mass chemical 

casualty event. The subject matter is 

focused on external decontamination of 

living people exposed to toxic industrial 

chemicals (TICs), toxic industrial 

materials (TIMs) or chemical warfare 

agents (CWAs) resulting from either an 

intentional or accidental release. The 

guidance document provides an 

approach that is flexible and scalable 

according to the resource and capability 

limitations of the organization. The 

recommendations, therefore, are 

adaptable to each unique community as 

it sees fit. The principals set forth in this 

guidance document are strategic-level 

and designed to guide communities’ 

planning efforts rather than specify 

operational practices. The guidance is 

evidence-based using currently 

available scientific research to the 

extent possible, and the supporting 

evidence is documented and briefly 

discussed.
