The comment period is insufficient to properly review, analyze and determine the
impact of the proposed changes. The format of the REP Manual does not support
and expeditious review because the changes are not highlighted or clearly
identified. The 366 pages of material are very detailed and contain significant
changes that will have a direct impact on the preparedness program. The impact
of requiring HSEEP and NIMS is huge and will take several weeks to identify the
impact and the cost for compliance with the new requirements. The proposed
changes will have a significant impact on State, County and Local governments
and more time is needed to consider the impacts of these changes.
Many of the changes that are included in these documents have not been
discussed with State or Local jurisdictions and have far reaching consequences.
Without having any discussion about the changes in advance and seeing them for
the first time it’s a lot to digest and get a handle on in such a short period of time,
and therefore. I am requesting that the comment period be extended to 180 days.
