| E9-24968 | Voluntary Private Sector Accreditation and Certification Preparedness Program | Notice | The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announces its intent to select standards for adoption in the Voluntary Private Sector Accreditation and Certification Preparedness Program ("PS-Prep"). This notice (1) finalizes the criteria to be used in selecting standards for the PS-Prep Program; (2) discusses the prospective adoption of the three identified standards, including (a) the approach for collaboration with the Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR) sectors and (b) considerations for small business in the adoption of the three identified standards; and (3) poses specific questions for which comment is sought. Although DHS intends to select only the three identified preparedness standards at this time, DHS may select additional standards in the future. Instructions: DHS will accept comments on PS-Prep and these standards at any time, and comments will be considered as they are received. Within 30 days after publication of this notice, DHS requests comments regarding the adoption of the standard selections or any other similar standard that satisfies the Target Criteria presented in the December 24, 2008 notice (73 FR 79140). Those interested may submit comments, identified by Docket ID FEMA-2008-0017, by one of the following methods: <bullet> Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments. (Note: This process applies to all government requests for comments--even though as in the case of PS-Prep, they may not be for regulatory purposes.) <bullet> E-mail: FEMA-POLICY@dhs.gov. Include Docket ID FEMA-2008- 0017 in the subject line of the message. <bullet> Fax: 703-483-2999. <bullet> Mail/Hand Delivery/Courier: Office of Chief Counsel, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Room 840, Washington, DC 20472-3100. All submissions received must include the agency name and Docket ID FEMA-2008-0017. All submissions will be posted, without change, to the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov, and will include any personal information you provide. Because comments are made available to the public, submitters should take caution to not include any sensitive, personal information, trade secret, or any commercial or financial information which is obtained from any person and which is deemed privileged or confidential. Submitters may wish to read the Privacy Act Notice available on the Privacy and Use Notice link on the Administration Navigation Bar of http:// www.regulations.gov. Docket: For access to the docket to read background documents or comments received, go to the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http:// www.regulations.gov. Submitted comments may also be inspected at FEMA, Office of Chief Counsel, 500 C Street, SW., Room 840, Washington, DC 20472. Availability of the Identified Standards: The three identified standards are available in two ways in addition to being available on the individual Web sites of the three respective standards development organizations (SDOs). 1. FEMA will maintain copies of the standards proposed under this notice and make them available upon request for viewing in person at FEMA's reading room, located at 500 C Street SW., Room 835, Washington, DC 20472. Due to licensing and copyright restrictions, however, these documents will be available for review only, not for copying. 2. FEMA's PS-Prep Web site, http://www.fema.gov/privatesector/ preparedness, contains links to the Web sites for each of the three SDOs. Each of these SDOs is making its standards available through this link for inspection, downloading, and printing, especially for the PS- Prep Program. Through the above link, the National Fire Protection Association and the American Society for Industrial Security have made NFPA 1600 and ASIS SPC 1-2009, respectively, available at no cost. Also through this link, the British Standards Institution has made the U.S. editions of BS25999-1 and BS25999-2 available for a reduced fee of $19.99 each. At DHS's request, the British Standards Institution reduced its regular fee for BS25999-1 from $132.00 to $19.99, and its regular fee for BS25999-2 from $152.00 to $19.99, for the comment period. | 2009-10-16 | 2009 | 10 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2009/10/16/E9-24968/voluntary-private-sector-accreditation-and-certification-preparedness-program | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2009-10-16/pdf/E9-24968.pdf | Homeland Security Department; Federal Emergency Management Agency | 227,166 | The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announces its intent to select standards for adoption in the Voluntary Private Sector Accreditation and Certification Preparedness Program ("PS-Prep").
