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].
