Change Process for the National Interagency Standards for Resource Mobilization

            The National Interagency Coordination Center (NICC) is responsible for the annual revision, publication, and distribution of the National Interagency Standards for Resource Mobilization (NISRM). The National Multi-Agency Coordinating Group (NMAC) approves all changes to the NISRM, as well as providing oversite and review.

Suggestions for changes can be submitted at any time during the calendar year. Historically the NICC works closely with NMAC during the months of December and January to discuss changes and modifications to the NISRM. During the month of February, the NISRM is edited and assembled by the staff at the NICC, and on March 1st posted for publication and distribution. All proposed changes for a publication year, should be submitted by December 31st to make the annual March 1st posting date.

The process for suggesting modifications to the publication are submitted through the online form on this website and routed through one of the following for approval and submission to the NICC staff.

Your Signatory Agency
	Your Geographic Area Coordination Center
	Interagency Organizations, Established Interagency Groups, and Functional AreasThe signatory agencies for NISRM are the following:

US Forest Service
	Bureau of Indian Affairs
	Bureau of Land Management
	National Park Service
	US Fish and Wildlife Service
	US Fire Administration
	National Association of State ForestersEntities that are considered a contracted resource can submit change requests through their sponsoring agency. For Administratively Determined (AD) employees, change requests can be submitted through the agency they are signed up with. All state and local government agencies will submit changes through the National Association of State Foresters. All changes from signatory agencies are given to the primary NMAC member for that agency and presented to NMAC for approval.

For any proposed change that involve dispatch procedures, coordination, and predictive services are submitted to your Geographic Area Coordination Center (GACC). The GACC Center Manager will review suggestions and submit them to the NICC Center Manager, who then presents them to NMAC for approval.

Suggested changes received from interagency organizations such as NWCG will be submitted by the chair or vice chair of that organization. Changes need to be submitted by a committee (parent) and not a subcommittee. Additional recognized interagency organizations such as CGAC, PSOG, and ACIC will submit suggested changes through their chair or vice chair. Functional areas are programs such as RAWs, NIICD and contracting, will also follow the same procedure. All suggestions for changes from interagency organizations, groups, and functional areas are submitted to the NICC Center Manager for review, who then presents them to NMAC for approval.

All change requests will be submitted electronically, cataloged, and processed by the NICC staff and routed appropriately. Follow the appropriate link to make proposed changes:
