Management and Budget for review and 

clearance in accordance with the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. FEMA invites

accordance with the requirements of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this

instruments used by the United States 

Fire Administration (USFA) every day.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act 

of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–498, as amended) 

(15 U.S.C. 2201 et seq.) originates from 

an exhaustive and comprehensive 

examination of the Nation’s fire 

problem, which made detailed findings 

as to the extent of this problem in terms 

of human suffering and loss of life and 

property, and it made ninety thoughtful 

recommendations. Many of these 

recommendations relate directly to the 

instruments which are a part of this 

information collection such as the 

National Fire Data Center, the National 

Fire Academy, and the Fire & 

Emergency Management Services (EMS) 

information requests for safety and 

educational materials. 

Executive Order 12862 directs Federal 

Agencies to provide service to the 

public that matches or exceeds the best 

service available in the private sector. 

To work continuously to ensure that our 

programs are effective and meet our 

customers’ needs, FEMA seeks to obtain 

Office of Management and Budget 

approval of a generic clearance to 

collect qualitative and quantitative data 

feedback on our service delivery. By 

qualitative feedback, we mean 

information that provides useful 

insights on perceptions and opinions 

and numerical data on fire and EMS 

incidents that yield quantitative results 

that can be generalized to the 

population of study. 

USFA maintains several information 

technology systems which assist USFA 

in delivering information, products, and 

services to the fire service, affiliated 

organizations, and the public. Collecting 

information for these instruments aids 

in the administration of USFA programs 

in support of State, local, Tribal, and 

territorial assistance as well as 

individuals, Federal Government, and 

members of the private sector. 

This information collection is 

necessary to enable the USFA to garner 

customer and stakeholder feedback in 

an efficient, timely manner in 

accordance with our commitment to 

improving service delivery. The 

information collected from our 

customers and stakeholders will help 

ensure that users have an effective, 

efficient, and satisfying experience with 

the USFA’s programs. This feedback 

will provide insights into customer or 

stakeholder perceptions, experiences, 

and expectations; provide an early 

warning of issues with service; or focus 

attention on areas where 

communication, training, or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. These collections 

will allow for ongoing, collaborative, 

and actionable communications 

between the USFA and its customers 

and stakeholders. It will also allow 

feedback to contribute directly to the 

improvement of program management. 

This proposed information collection 

previously published in the Federal 

Register on May 21, 2024, at 89 FR 

44693 with a 60-day public comment 

period. No comments were received. 

The purpose of this notice is to notify 

the public that FEMA will submit the 

information collection abstracted below 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

for review and clearance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS), on behalf of the Forced Labor 

Enforcement Task Force (FLETF), is 

announcing the publication of the 

updated UFLPA Entity List, a 

consolidated register of the four lists 

required to be developed and 

maintained pursuant to section 

2(d)(2)(B) of the Uyghur Forced Labor 

Prevention Act (Pub. L. 117–78) 

(UFLPA), to https://www.dhs.gov/uflpaentity-list. The UFLPA Entity List is 

available as an appendix to this notice. 

This update adds four entities to the 

section 2(d)(2)(B)(v) list of the UFLPA, 

which identifies facilities and entities 

that source material from the Xinjiang 

Uyghur Autonomous Region or from 

persons working with the government of 

Xinjiang or the Xinjiang Production and 

Construction Corps for purposes of the 

‘‘poverty alleviation’’ program or the 

‘‘pairing-assistance’’ program or any 

other government labor scheme that 

uses forced labor. This update also 

removes one entity from the section 

2(d)(2)(B)(i) list of the UFLPA, which 

identifies entities in the Xinjiang 

Uyghur Autonomous Region that mine, 

produce, or manufacture wholly or in 

part any goods, wares, articles, and 

merchandise with forced labor. Future 

revisions to the UFLPA Entity List, 

which may include additions, removals 

or technical corrections, will be 

published to https://www.dhs.gov/uflpaentitylist and in the appendices of future 

Federal Register notices. See appendix 

1. 

Beginning on June 21, 2022, the 

UFLPA requires the Commissioner of 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection to 

apply a rebuttable presumption that 

goods mined, produced, or 

manufactured by entities on the UFLPA 

Entity List are made with forced labor, 

and therefore, prohibited from 

importation into the United States 

under 19 U.S.C. 1307. See section 3(a) 

of the UFLPA. As the FLETF revises the 

UFLPA Entity List, including by making 

additions, removals, or technical 

corrections, DHS, on its behalf, will post 

such revisions to the DHS UFLPA 

website (https://www.dhs.gov/uflpaentity-list) and also publish the revised 

UFLPA Entity List as an appendix to a 

Federal Register notice.
