Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
Federal Emergency
Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on a proposed
new information collection. In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, this notice seeks
comments concerning the collection of
information, which is necessary for
assessment and improvement of the
delivery of disaster assistance. The form
serves as a survey tool used to evaluate
customer perceptions of effectiveness,
timeliness and satisfaction with FEMA
Housing Inspection Services.
This
collection is in accordance with
Executive Order 12862 (September 11,
1993), that requires all Federal agencies
to survey customers to determine the
kind and quality of services they want
and their level of satisfaction with
existing services. In addition, the
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA) requires agencies to set
missions and goals and measure
performance against them. FEMA will
fulfill these requirements, in part, by
collecting customer service information
through a survey of the FEMA Recovery
Division’s external customers.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Collection of Information
Title: Federal Emergency Management
Agency Housing Inspection Services
Customer Satisfaction Survey.
Type of Information Collection: New.
OMB Number: 1660–NW31.
Form Numbers: FEMA Form 86–26
(MW), SEP 04.
Abstract: FEMA Housing Inspection
Services contracts inspectors to assess
dwelling damage and verify personal
information of applicants for FEMA
disaster assistance in federally declared
disasters areas. Because FEMA needs to
evaluate the inspectors’ performance,
FEMA conducts surveys to measure the
satisfaction level of the applicants with
their inspection experience. FEMA
Inspection Services Managers and Task
Monitors generally use the survey
results to gauge and make
improvements to disaster services that
increase customer satisfaction and
program effectiveness. The information
is shared with Regional staff specific to
the federal declaration for which the
survey is conducted.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.

Extension of the Designation of Sudan
for Temporary Protected Status;
Automatic Extension of Employment
Authorization Documentation for
Sudanese TPS Beneficiaries
U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of extension of
temporary protected status designation
of Sudan.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This Notice alerts the public
that the designation of Sudan for
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) has
been extended for 18 months to
November 2, 2008, from its current
expiration date of May 2, 2007. This
Notice also sets forth procedures
necessary for nationals of Sudan (or
aliens having no nationality who last
habitually resided in Sudan) with TPS
to re-register and to apply for an
extension of their Employment
Authorization Documents (EADs) for the
additional 18-month period. Reregistration is limited to persons who
have previously registered for TPS
under the designation of Sudan and
whose application has been granted or
remains pending. Certain nationals of
Sudan (or aliens having no nationality
who last habitually resided in Sudan)
who have not previously applied for
TPS may be eligible to apply under the
late initial registration provisions.
Given the timeframes involved with
processing TPS re-registrants, the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) recognizes that re-registrants may
not receive a new EAD until after their
current EAD expires on May 2, 2007.
Accordingly, this Notice automatically
extends the validity of EADs issued
under the TPS designation of Sudan for
six months, through November 2, 2007,
and explains how TPS beneficiaries and
their employers may determine which
EADs are automatically extended. New
EADs with the November 2, 2008
expiration date will be issued to eligible
TPS beneficiaries who timely re-register
and apply for an EAD.
DATES: The extension of the TPS
designation of Sudan is effective May 3,
2007, and will remain in effect until
11:59 p.m. on November 2, 2008. The
60-day re-registration period begins
March 8, 2007, and will remain in effect
