Abstract:
A Federal, State, Tribal, territorial, or local alerting authority that applies for authorization to use IPAWS is designated as a Collaborative Operating Group (COG) by the IPAWS Program Management Office (PMO). Access to IPAWS is free; however, to send a message using IPAWS, an organization must procure its own IPAWS compatible software. To become a COG, a Memorandum of Agreement governing system security must be executed between the sponsoring organization and FEMA.

Short Statement:
The previous submission inadvertently overlooked data collection in support of the mandatory three-year Memorandum of Agreement renewal cycle. After conducting usability testing there is a 366 (258 + 108) increase in burden hours on the OMB inventory. The usability testing was the event that led to FEMA’s discovery of the instrument that, while marked as being approved, had not been included in recent documentation. Due to a lack of records, we have not been able to determine whether that instrument was initially approved and erroneously dropped off later renewals or mistakenly thought to be approved by OMB when it never was. The previous submission inadvertently overlooked data collection in support of the mandatory three-year Memorandum of Agreement renewal cycle. Additionally wages have been adjusted to reflected state government employee Emergency Management wages.
