FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Robert Glenn, Office of Business, 

Industry, and Infrastructure Integration, 

via email at OB3I@fema.dhs.gov or via 

phone at (202) 212–1666. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of 

these meetings is provided as required 

by section 708(h)(8) of the Defense 

Production Act (DPA), 50 U.S.C. 

4558(h)(8), and consistent with 44 CFR 

part 332. 

The DPA authorizes the making of 

‘‘voluntary agreements and plans of 

action’’ with representatives of industry, 

business, and other interests to help 

provide for the national defense.1 The 

President’s authority to facilitate 

voluntary agreements with respect to 

responding to the spread of COVID–19 

within the United States was delegated 

to the Secretary of Homeland Security 

in Executive Order 13911.2 The 

Secretary of Homeland Security further 

delegated this authority to the FEMA 

Administrator.3

On August 17, 2020, after the 

appropriate consultations with the 

Attorney General and the Chairman of 

the Federal Trade Commission, FEMA 

completed and published in the Federal 

Register a ‘‘Voluntary Agreement, 

Manufacture and Distribution of Critical 

Healthcare Resources Necessary to 

Respond to a Pandemic’’ (Voluntary 

Agreement).4 Unless terminated earlier, 

the Voluntary Agreement is effective 

until August 17, 2025, and may be 

extended subject to additional approval 

by the Attorney General after 

consultation with the Chairman of the 

Federal Trade Commission. The 

Agreement may be used to prepare for 

or respond to any pandemic, including 

COVID–19, during that time. 

On October 15, 2021, the sixth plan of 

action under the Voluntary 

Agreement—the Plan of Action to 

Establish a National Strategy for the 

Coordination of National Multimodal 

Healthcare Supply Chains to Respond to 

COVID–19—was finalized.5 This plan of 

action established several subcommittees under the Voluntary 

Agreement, focusing on different 

transportation categories. 

The meetings are chaired by the 

FEMA Administrator’s delegates from 

the Office of Response and Recovery 

(ORR) and Office of Policy and Program 

Analysis (OPPA), attended by the 

Attorney General’s delegates from the 

U.S. Department of Justice, and attended 

by the Chairman of the Federal Trade 

Commission’s delegates. In 

implementing the Voluntary Agreement, 

FEMA adheres to all procedural 

requirements of 50 U.S.C. 4558 and 44 

CFR part 332. 

Meeting Objectives: The objectives of 

the meetings are as follows: 

1. Convene the various Sub-Committees 

focused on Surface, Maritime, and Aviation 

Transportation under the National 

Multimodal Healthcare Supply Chains Plan 

of Action to establish priorities related to the 

COVID–19 response under the Voluntary 

Agreement. 

2. Convene the Requirements SubCommittee under the National Multimodal 

Healthcare Supply Chains Plan of Action, as 

a culmination of the above series of meetings, 

by the end of May 2022. 

3. Gather Sub-Committee Participants and 

Attendees to ask targeted questions for 

situational awareness. 

4. Identify pandemic-related supply chain 

issues, information gaps, and areas for 

potential additional discussion. 

5. Identify potential Objectives and Actions 

under the Sub-Committees focused on 

Surface, Maritime, and Aviation 

Transportation. 

Meetings Closed to the Public: By 

default, the DPA requires meetings held 

to implement a voluntary agreement or 

plan of action be open to the public.6

However, attendance may be limited if 

the Sponsor 7 of the Voluntary 

Agreement finds that the matter to be 

discussed at a meeting falls within the 

purview of matters described in 5 U.S.C. 

552b(c), such as trade secrets and 

commercial or financial information. 

The Sponsor of the Voluntary 

Agreement, the FEMA Administrator, 

found that these meetings to implement 

the Voluntary Agreement involve 

matters which fall within the purview of 

matters described in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c) 

and the meetings are therefore closed to 

the public. 

Specifically, these meetings may 

require participants to disclose trade 

secrets or commercial or financial 

information that is privileged or 

confidential. Disclosure of such 

information allows for meetings to be 

closed to the public pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

552b(c)(4). 

The success of the Voluntary 

Agreement depends wholly on the 

willing participation of the private 

sector participants. Failure to close 

these meetings to the public could 

reduce active participation by the 

signatories due to a perceived risk that 

sensitive company information could be 

released to the public. A public 

disclosure of a private sector 

participant’s information executed 

prematurely could reduce trust and 

support for the Voluntary Agreement. 

A resulting loss of support by the 

participants for the Voluntary 

Agreement would significantly hinder

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 47 / Thursday, March 10, 2022 / Notices 13743 

the implementation of the Agency’s 

objectives. Thus, these meeting closures 

are permitted pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

552b(c)(9)(B).

Administration, Flood Insurance 

Directorate, at 202–701–3383 or

may contact the Information 

Management Division for copies of the 

proposed collection of information at 

email address: FEMA-InformationCollections-Management@fema.dhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Communities participating in the 

National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP) are required to adopt a 

floodplain management ordinance that 

meets or exceeds the minimum 

floodplain management requirements of 

the NFIP. In accordance with the 

Federal Emergency Management 

Agency’s (FEMA’s) minimum floodplain 

management criteria, communities must 

require that all new construction and 

substantial improvement of residential 

structures and non-residential structures 

have the lowest floor (including 

basement) elevated to above the base 

flood elevation subject to 44 CFR 

60.3(c)(2) and (3), unless, for residential 

structures, the community is granted an 

exception by FEMA for the allowance of 

basements under 44 CFR 60.6(b) or (c). 

New construction and substantial 

improvement of non-residential 

structures can also be floodproofed. 

This means that, together with attendant 

utility and sanitary facilities, they are 

designed such that below the base flood 

level the structure is watertight, with 

walls substantially impermeable to the 

passage of water and with structural 

components having the capability to 

resist hydrostatic and hydrodynamic 

loads and effects of buoyancy. 44 CFR 

60.3(c)(3)(ii). Use of the Elevation 

Certificate and Floodproofing Certificate 

is one convenient way for a community 

to document building compliance. Title 

44 CFR 61.7 and 61.8 require proper 

investigation to estimate the risk 

premium rates necessary to provide 

flood insurance. 

This information collection expires on 

November 30, 2022. FEMA is requesting 

a revision of this currently approved 

information collection.
