SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Chemical Stockpile Emergency 
Preparedness Program (CSEPP) is one facet of the multi-hazard readiness 
program in eight States that deal with hazardous material spills or 
releases. The program's goal is to improve preparedness to protect the 
people of these communities in the unlikely event of an accident. 
CSEPP, a cooperative effort between FEMA and the U.S. Army, provides 
funding (grants), training, community outreach, guidance, technical 
support and expertise to State, local, and Tribal governments to 
improve their capabilities to prepare for and respond to this type of 
disaster. Since no preparedness program can be successful without the 
public's understanding and cooperation, input from the residents and 
businesses of immediate and/or surrounding areas is vital for program 
managers' ability to design custom-tailored strategies to educate and 
communicate risks and action plans at the local level. This survey, 
which was initiated six years ago, will continue as the assessment 
mechanism to document and quantify program achievements. There are two 
authorities supporting this information collection: (1) The Government 
Performance Results Act of 1993, which mandates Federal agencies to 
provide valid and reliable quantification of program achievements, and 
(2) Executive Order 12862, which requires agencies to survey customers 
to determine their level of satisfaction with existing services.
