SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    Through acts such as the National Construction Safety Team Act 
(NCSTA) and the NIST Organic Act, among others, as well as the 
President's Climate Action Plan (2013),\a\ NIST conducts research and 
develops guidance and other related tools to promote and enhance the 
safety and well-being of people in the face of a hazard event. With 
this in mind, NIST proposes to conduct a number of data collection 
efforts within the topic areas of disaster and failure studies and 
community resilience and sustainability. This includes studies of 
specific disaster events (e.g., wildfire, urban fire, structure 
collapse, hurricane, earthquake, tornado, and flood events), 
assessments of community resilience and sustainability, and evaluations 
of the usability and utility of NIST guidance or other products. For 
example, one study may assess user perceptions and applications of the 
NIST ``Community Resilience Planning Guide for Buildings and 
Infrastructure Systems'' as well as adherence to building and fire 
codes and standards in community resilience planning. Another example 
may include the study of disaster impacts to community members due to a 
large-scale wildfire event. These data collection efforts may be either 
qualitative or quantitative in nature, or may consist of mixed methods. 
Additionally, data may be collected via a variety of means, including 
but not limited to electronic or social media, direct or indirect 
observation (i.e., in person, video and audio collections), interviews, 
questionnaires, and focus groups. NIST will limit its inquiries to data 
collections that solicit strictly voluntary opinions or responses. The 
results of the data collected will be used to decrease negative impacts 
of disasters on society, and, in turn, increase community resilience 
within the U.S. communities. Steps will be taken to ensure anonymity of 
respondents in each activity covered by this request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \a\ The President's Climate Action Plan (2013) is available at: 
https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/image/president27sclimateactionplan.pdf . On page 13, it is explicitly 
noted that ``the National Institute of Standards and Technology will 
convene a panel on disaster-resilience standards to develop a 
comprehensive, community-based resilience framework and provide 
guidelines for consistently safe buildings and infrastructure--
products that can inform the development of private-sector standards 
and codes.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Method of Collection

    NIST will collect this information by electronic means when 
possible, as well as by mail, fax, telephone, technical discussions,
