Management Specialist, FEMA, PNP,

Preparedness Division, 202–786–0947 

for additional information. You may

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Citizen 

Corps was launched as a Presidential 

Initiative, Executive Order 13254, in 

2002 with a mission to harness the 

power of every individual through 

education, training, and volunteer 

service to make communities safer, 

stronger, and better prepared for the 

threats of terrorism, crime, public health 

issues, and disasters of all kinds. Citizen 

Corps is FEMA’s grassroots strategy to 

strengthen collaboration between 

government and community leaders 

from all sectors to engage the full 

community in preparedness, planning, 

mitigation, response, and recovery. The 

Community Emergency Response Team 

Program offers training that prepares 

people to help themselves, their families 

and their neighbors in the event of a 

disaster in their community. 

FEMA’s Individual and Community 

Preparedness Division, which 

administers Citizen Corps and the 

Community Emergency Response Team 

program nationally, would like to revise 

its online information collection process 

and forms by which local, tribal and 

territorial Councils’ and Community 

Emergency Response Teams submit 

profiles via the national Web site. The 

Citizen Corps Council registration form 

will allow FEMA and State personnel to 

ensure that prospective Councils/

CERT’s have the support of the 

appropriate government officials in their 

area, ensure a dedicated coordinator is 

assigned to the Council, and will 

provide an efficient way to track the 

effectiveness of the nationwide network 

of Councils and CERT’s. Approved 

registration of a Council or Community 

Emergency Response Team program 

allows them to be recognized as official 

entities; become eligible for Homeland 

Security grant funding; allows for the 

coordination of preparedness and 

emergency management activities 

among other groups associated with 

Citizen Corps; promote their local 

Councils to the public and become a 

part of the Citizen Corps national 

directory of Councils; and receive 

important updates and messages from 

the national office. The Citizen Corps 

Council and Community Emergency 

Response Team registries support the 

mission of FEMA’s Individual and 

Community Preparedness Division and 

Citizen Corps, to help achieve greater 

community resiliency nationwide. This 

continuing registration process will 

allow the Individual and Community 

Preparedness Division to collect 

information that is more usable and 

provide a more efficient way to track the 

effectiveness of the nationwide network 

of Councils and CERT’s. 

Collection of Information 

Title: Citizen Corps Council 

Registration. 

Type of Information Collection: 

Revision of a currently approved 

information collection. 

OMB Number: 1660–0098.

Citizen Corps Council Registration. 

Abstract: FEMA’s Community 

Preparedness Division would like to 

revise a currently approved collection

Emergency Response Teams. The 

registration process allows for new

Council or CERT to the State Citizen 

Corps Program Manager for approval. 

The revised registration process will 

allow for the collection of more valuable 

information and the tool is more userfriendly for Citizen Corps Councils and 

CERT’s. 

Affected Public: State, local or Tribal 

Government. 

Number of Respondents: 3,900.

technological collection techniques or
