The current inventory exhibits a total burden of
28,311 hours while the total burden of this notice
is 3,980 hours. FRA determined some of the
estimates were not derived from PRA requirements,
thus leading to the increased figures in the current
inventory, which were decreased accordingly in
this notice. Also, totals may not add due to
rounding.
2
The dollar equivalent cost is derived from the
Surface Transportation Board’s Full Year Wage A&B
data series using the appropriate employee group
hourly wage rate that includes a 75-percent
overhead charge.

established by DOT in accordance with
the provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA), Public Law 92–
463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App.) and
DOT Order 1120.3C NEMSAC provides

relating to all aspects of development
and implementation of EMS.
Description of Duties:
Consistent with Sections 3 and 5,
NEMSAC is authorized to:
a. Consider information on EMS
issues to define, develop positions, and
make recommendations on such issues
for the Secretary of Transportation and/
or FICEMS.
b. Provide recommendations or advice
relating to EMS on such topics as:
•Improved coordination and support
of EMS systems among Federal
programs;
•Strategic planning;
•EMS standards, guidelines,
performance benchmarks, and other
guidelines;
•Guidelines for conducting needs
assessments for improving community-
based EMS systems at State and local
levels;
•Enhancing the National EMS
Information System (NEMSIS) through
adoption, utilization and revision of the
NEMSIS standard and supporting EMS
systems with new uses of EMS data and
information; and
•Strengthening EMS systems through
enhanced workforce development,
education, training, exercises,
sustainability, equipment, medical
oversight, and other areas.

(via the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration’s (NHTSA) Designated
Federal Officer (DFO)) and/or from

d. NEMSAC shall prepare an annual
report to the Secretary of
Transportation, with copies sent to the
Secretary of Health and Human Services
and Secretary of Homeland Security,
and to FICEMS, regarding NEMSAC’s
actions and recommendations.
Membership
In accordance with the NEMSAC
charter, members should represent a
cross-section of the diverse agencies,
organizations, and individuals involved
in EMS activities and programs in the
United States. NEMSAC consists of 25
members, each of whom shall be
appointed by the Secretary of
Transportation, in coordination with the
U.S. Departments of Homeland Security
and Health and Human Services
through their respective representatives
on FICEMS. The NEMSAC members
shall collectively be representative of all
sectors of the EMS community.
The NEMSAC’s broad-based
membership will ensure that it has
sufficient EMS system expertise and
geographic and demographic diversity
to accurately reflect the whole EMS
community.
To the extent practical, the final
NEMSAC membership shall ensure
representation from the following
sectors of the EMS community:
•Volunteer EMS
•Fire-based (career) EMS
•Private (career non-fire) EMS
•Hospital-based EMS
•Tribal EMS
•Air Medical EMS
•Local EMS service directors/
administrators
•EMS Medical Directors
•Emergency Physicians
•Trauma Surgeons

•Consumers (not directly affiliated

capacity on NEMSAC and not as Special
Government Employees. The Secretary
of Transportation shall appoint each
member for up to a 2-year term and
members may be reappointed but may
not serve more than two consecutive
terms unless the Secretary determines
that additional terms are permitted to
ensure representation of all sectors of

NHTSA for their NEMSAC service, but
are entitled to reimbursement of their
travel expenses, including per diem.
The NEMSAC meets in plenary session
approximately three to four times per
year.

representation of interests from across
the EMS community, but no member
will represent a specific organization.

Proposed Agency Information
Collection Activities; Comment
Request
AGENCY
: Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (OCC), Treasury; Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (Board); and Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
ACTION
: Joint notice and request for
comment.
SUMMARY
: In accordance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the OCC,
the Board, and the FDIC (the agencies)
may not conduct or sponsor, and the
respondent is not required to respond
to, an information collection unless it
displays a currently valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) control
number. The Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council
(FFIEC), of which the agencies are
members, has approved the agencies’
publication for public comment of a
proposal to revise and extend the
Consolidated Reports of Condition and
Income (Call Reports) (FFIEC 031,
FFIEC 041, and FFIEC 051), which are
currently approved collections of
information. The agencies are requesting
comment on a change to the Call Report
forms and instructions (FFIEC 031 and
FFIEC 041 only) to implement the
FDIC’s proposed amendments to the
deposit insurance assessment system
applicable to all large insured
depository institutions (IDIs), including
highly complex IDIs, to address the
temporary deposit insurance assessment
effects resulting from certain optional
regulatory capital transition provisions
relating to the implementation of the
current expected credit losses (CECL)
methodology. The change to the Call
Reports would enable the FDIC to
remove the double counting of a
specified portion of the CECL
transitional amount or the modified
CECL transitional amount, as applicable
(collectively, the CECL transitional
amounts), in certain financial measures
that are calculated using the sum of Tier
1 capital and reserves and that are used
to determine assessment rates for large
and highly complex IDIs.
