SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act) (42 U.S.C. 5121-5207)
authorizes the President to establish a program of disaster
preparedness that utilizes services of all appropriate agencies and
includes training and exercises. Section 611 of the Stafford Act (42
U.S.C. 5196) provides that the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) may conduct training for the purpose of emergency preparedness.
In response, FEMA established the National Emergency Training Center
(NETC), located in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The NETC site has facilities
and housing available for those participating in preparedness training
and a request for use of these areas is required to be made in advance
for the need for such. The primary means of making advanced requests
for use of space at NETC is the use of email communication and this
typically includes the specifics for the use of NETC for date of
arrival and departure, how many participants, the requirement for
lodging to include how many people, room space required, meals
required, and equipment needed. These items that were required to be
captured by completing the Request For Use of NETC Facilities Form are
now captured within the content of the email communication. The
secondary means of making requests to use NETC space is by telephone
communication and those requirements are discussed in that manner.
The NETC is a FEMA facility which houses all FEMA employees at
headquarters, regions, field establishments, and other individuals and
organizations authorized to use the facilities. The responsibilities,
procedures, and potential fees charged for using the NETC facilities
are identified in accordance with FEMA Directive Number 119-3, Facility
Use and Expenses at the National Emergency Training Center dated May
21, 2018. The NETC provides training and educational programs in
emergency response, preparedness, fire prevention and control, disaster
response, and long-term disaster recovery. The principal purpose of
FEMA Form FF-USFA-FY-21-107 (formerly 119-17-1), Request for Housing
Accommodations, is to request housing at the NETC, and the principal
purpose of FEMA Form FF-USFA-FY-21-108 (formerly 119-17-2), Request for
Use of NETC Facilities, is to conduct official business at the NETC.
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice
seeks comments concerning the removal of use of the FEMA Form FF-USFA-
FY-21-108 (formerly 119-17-2), Request For Use of NETC Facilities, due
to its antiquated information collection method and requirement. There
is no longer a need to formally require the use of this form in order
for a requestor to receive support for special groups using the NETC.
