Amendment
Amend FR Doc. 2013-10928 as follows:
On May 8, 2013, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Domestic
Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO), announced the National Radiological
and Nuclear Detection Challenge (Rad/Nuc Challenge), a participation
challenge authorized under 15 U.S.C. 3719(c)(3), for state, local, and
tribal law enforcement, other first responders, public safety
officials, and Civil Support Team members. In lieu of hosting a
separate standalone Rad/Nuc Challenge, DNDO will work with the Urban
Area Security Initiative competition, Urban Shield, to incorporate a
radiological and nuclear detection competitive exercise. This notice
formally cancels the Rad/Nuc Challenge.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the Rad/Nuc Challenge was to
increase proficiency, improve Concepts of Operations, and promote
proper use of radiological and nuclear detection equipment by state and
local agencies in support of the domestic radiological and nuclear
detection mission to prevent the illicit use and/or movement of
radioactive materials within the United States. By integrating into
existing competitive exercises like Urban Shield, DNDO will provide a
similar competitive exercise format that will continue to promote the
radiological and nuclear detection mission.
DNDO will provide announcements on opportunities to participate in
competitive radiological and nuclear detection exercises to a community
distribution list.
To be added to the email distribution list for radiological and
nuclear detection competitive event announcements, or for additional
information, please contact Timothy Smith, DHS, DNDO, by email at
[email protected].
