| E8-30685 | Voluntary Private Sector Accreditation and Certification Preparedness Program | Notice | In the "Implementing the Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007" (the 9/11 Act), Congress authorized the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to establish a voluntary private sector preparedness accreditation and certification program. This program, now known as "PS-Prep," will assess whether a private sector entity complies with one or more voluntary preparedness standards adopted by DHS, through a system of accreditation and certification set up by DHS in close coordination with the private sector. PS-Prep will raise the level of private sector preparedness through a number of means, including (i) Establishing a system for DHS to adopt private sector preparedness standards; (ii) encouraging creation of those standards; (iii) developing a method for a private sector entity to obtain a certification of conformity with a particular DHS-adopted private sector standard, and encouraging such certification; and (iv) making preparedness standards adopted by DHS more widely available. This Notice discusses essential elements of the program, describes the consultation that has taken place and will take place with the private sector, and seeks additional recommendations in a number of areas, including the private sector preparedness standards that DHS should adopt, both initially and over time. | 2008-12-24 | 2008 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/12/24/E8-30685/voluntary-private-sector-accreditation-and-certification-preparedness-program | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-12-24/pdf/E8-30685.pdf | Homeland Security Department; Federal Emergency Management Agency | 227,166 | In the "Implementing the Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007" (the 9/11 Act), Congress authorized the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to establish a voluntary private sector preparedness accreditation and certification program.... |
