§763a Training for Federal Government, foreign governments, or private entities

Summary

Starting in fiscal year 2013, the Center for Domestic Preparedness can train emergency responders from the Federal Government, foreign governments, or private groups if those trainees reimburse the Center. Any reimbursement must go back into the same government account that paid the cost and can be used for the same purposes without a fiscal-year limit. The Center’s head must make sure this outside training does not interfere with the Center’s main job of training State and local responders. If it does not interfere, the Center may train FEMA employees in existing courses on chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, explosives, mass-casualty, and medical surge topics under 5 U.S.C. 4103 without reimbursement.
