What constitutes NIMS compliance in FY2007, which begins on October 1, 2006?
NIMS compliance for FY2007 will be achieved by completing the actions outlined in the NIMS Implementation Matrix for States/Territories and Tribal/Local Jurisdictions (October 1, 2006 – September 30, 2007). Beginning in FY07 compliance will no longer be measured by self-certification, but will transition to performance-based questions and a measurement system of “metrics”.
