SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Emergency Communications 

Plan (NECP) is the Nation’s over-arching 

strategic plan to drive measurable 

improvements in emergency 

communications across all levels of 

government and disciplines. First 

released in 2008, the plan is 

periodically updated to reflect the 

ongoing evolution of emergency 

communications technologies and 

processes. In support of the NECP, the 

Interoperable Communications and 

Technical Assistance Program (ICTAP) 

within the Cybersecurity and 

Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) 

Emergency Communications Division 

(ECD) provides a portfolio of no-cost 

communications technical assistance 

(TA) to support the implementation of 

the NECP, state’s and territories’ 

Statewide Communication 

Interoperability Plans (SCIPs), 

broadband planning, voice and digital 

network engineering, training, exercise 

support, and operational assessment 

focused on interoperable emergency 

communications at all levels of 

government. 

The purpose of the ICTAP Training 

Survey is to obtain anonymous feedback 

regarding several of the training courses 

offered by the ICTAP. The feedback and 

experience given by survey respondents 

will assist the ICTAP in improving, 

revising, and updating the course 

materials for future students. The three 

courses which the ICTAP would like to 

obtain feedback are for: 

• Communications Unit Leader 

(COML); 

• Communications Unit Technician 

(COMT); and 

• Information Technology Service 

Unit Leader (ITSL). 

COML is designed for all state/ 

territory, tribal, regional, and local 

emergency response professionals and 

for support personnel with a 

communications background. It is 

designed to familiarize these 

professionals with the role and 

responsibilities of a COML under the 

National Incident Management System 

(NIMS) Incident Command System (ICS) 

and to provide hands-on exercises that 

reinforce the lecture materials. CISA 

and FEMA Emergency Management 

Institute (EMI) offer this course jointly 

as ‘‘L0969, NIMS ICS All-Hazards 

Communications Unit Leader Course.’’ 

Under the NIMS ICS structure, a COML 

is the focal point within the 

Communications Unit. This course 

provides DHS-approved and NIMScompliant instruction to ensure that 

every state/territory has trained 

personnel capable of coordinating onscene emergency communications 

during a multi-jurisdictional response or 

planned event.

(NIMS) Incident Command System (ICS) 

and to provide hands-on exercises that 

reinforce the lecture materials. CISA 

and FEMA Emergency Management 

Institute (EMI) offer this course jointly 

as ‘‘L0969, NIMS ICS All-Hazards 

Communications Unit Leader Course.’’ 

Under the NIMS ICS structure, a COML 

is the focal point within the 

Communications Unit. This course 

provides DHS-approved and NIMScompliant instruction to ensure that 

every state/territory has trained 

personnel capable of coordinating onscene emergency communications 

during a multi-jurisdictional response or 

planned event. 

The COMT course provides 

introductory and refresher training for 

the NIMS ICS COMT position. It 

introduces public safety professionals 

and support staff to various 

communications concepts and 

technologies including interoperable 

communications solutions, LMR 

communications, satellite, telephone, 

data, and computer technologies used in 

incident response and planned events. It 

is designed for state/territory, tribal, 

urban, and local emergency response 

professionals and support personnel in 

all disciplines who have a technical 

communications background. 

Participants develop the essential core 

competencies required for performing 

the duties of the COMT in an allhazards incident, including 

responsibilities while operating in a 

local, regional, or state-level AllHazards Incident Management Team. 

In 2018 and 2019, ICTAP introduced 

the ITSL course, and SAFECOM/ 

National Counsel of Statewide 

Interoperability Coordinators (NCSWIC) 

have coordinated with FEMA National 

Integration Center (NIC) and other 

organizations focused on public safety 

communications to establish the best 

way to integrate the ITSL into the ICS. 

The ITSL is needed to provide 

information management, cybersecurity, 

and application management for the 

many critical incident/event related 

functions to include: Incident/Unified 

Command Post, Incident 

Communications Centers, and various 

tactical operations centers, joint 

information center (JIC), staging areas, 

and field locations. The ITSL course 

targets Federal, state/territory, tribal, 

urban, local, and emergency response 

professionals, and support personnel in 

all disciplines with a communications 

background and an aptitude for and 

extensive experience in information 

technology. Specifically, the training 

course provides an overview of the ITSL 

components including 

Communications/IT Help Desk or 

Unified Help Desk, IT Infrastructure 

Manager, Network Manager. It covers 

their roles and responsibilities and 

provides an in-depth overview with 

exercises for the ITSL’s major functions, 

to include ensuring reliable and timely 

delivery of IT services to participating 

agencies and officials. 

The ICTAP Training Survey will not 

collect any personal identifiable 

information (PII) from respondents 

(emergency communications 

stakeholders) of the survey. In collecting 

feedback regarding the ITSL, COML, 

and COMT courses, the survey will 

collect what state the respondent lives, 

where they took the course, did the 

course provide the information needed, 

should the course curriculum be 

updated, and any comments to improve 

the course material. The survey will 

encompass 10 questions regarding the 

former student’s experience, anything 

that they liked, disliked, or something 

new that they would like to see 

incorporated into the refreshed class. It 

is estimated that it will take each 

participant 10 minutes to complete the 

training survey. For 300 respondents 

annually, the burden is 50 hours. To 

estimate the cost of this collection, CISA 

uses the mean hourly wage of ‘‘All 

Occupations’’ of $25.72. CISA then 

applies a load factor of 1.4597 to this 

average wage to obtain a fully loaded 

average hourly wage of $37.54. The total 

respondent cost burden for this 

collection is $1,877 (50 hours × $37.54).
