Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 225 / Wednesday, November 23, 2005 / Notices 70865 

NAIS will process (e.g., validate, 

filter, etc.) and store the data. Some 

NAIS functions may be implemented by 

enhancing existing systems. These 

systems, while not part of NAIS, are 

included in the context of the systems’

operations. Primarily, it is expected that 

these systems (e.g., Ports and Waterways 

Safety System [PAWSS], Sector 

Command Centers [SCC], Maritime 

Information Safety and Law 

Enforcement [MISLE], Vessel Traffic 

Services [VTS]) will provide data 

processing functions (e.g., vessel 

tracking correlation, intelligence 

processing, anomaly detection) and user 

interfaces necessary to meet all the 

requirements for fully using AIS data. 

Some users of NAIS capabilities (e.g., 

Deepwater assets and other government 

agencies) may indirectly access AIS data 

via other systems. 

NAIS will complement other 

surveillance and intelligence systems 

greatly aiding the essential process of 

identifying vessels requiring further 

investigation and action. NAIS 

information will be displayed in the 

USCG national maritime COP and 

shared, along with correlated data and 

intelligence as appropriate, with other 

DHS and federal agencies. Unclassified 

portions of the COP will also be 

available to local port partners in 

support of security and safety 

operations. This information will be 

invaluable to agencies, such as Customs 

and Border Patrol (CBP), Immigration 

and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the 

Transportation Security Administration 

(TSA), as it will provide real-time 

location data on all major cargo and 

other commercial vessels in the 

maritime domain.

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, U.S. Department 

of Homeland Security. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 

and respondent burden, invites the 

general public and other Federal 

agencies to take this opportunity to 

comment on proposed revised 

information collections. In accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), this 

notice seeks comments concerning the 

use of the Emergency Management 

Institute Resident Course Evaluation 

Form which is used to identify 

problems with course materials, 

evaluate the quality of course delivery, 

facilities and instructors. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Emergency Management Institute (EMI) 

develops courses and administers 

resident and nonresident training 

programs in areas such as natural 

hazards, technical hazards, instructional 

methodology, professional 

development, leadership, exercise 

design and evaluation, information 

technology, public information, 

integrated emergency management, and 

train-the-trainer. A significant portion of 

the training is conducted by State 

emergency management agencies under 

cooperative agreements with FEMA. 

In order to meet current information 

needs of EMI staff and management, the 

EMI uses this course evaluation form to 

identify problems with course materials, 

delivery, facilities and instructors. This 

is a resident evaluation form. EMI staff 

will use the information to monitor and 

recommend changes in course materials, 

student selection criteria, training 

experience, and classroom environment. 

Reports will be generated and 

distributed to EMI management and 

staff. Without the information it will be 

difficult to determine the need for 

improvements and the degree of student 

satisfaction with each course. 

The respondents are students 

attending EMI resident courses at either 

the National Emergency Training Center 

(NETC) or at an off-site location. The 

evaluation form will be administered at 

the end of the course and will take no 

more than 10 minutes to complete. 

Contractors will scan the evaluation 

forms and generate the data reports 

using a computer program developed by 

a FEMA program analyst contractor. 

Evaluation forms are destroyed in 

accordance with FEMA’s records 

retention schedule.
