The
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C.
5121–5207 (the Act) is the legal basis for
FEMA to provide disaster related
assistance and services to individuals
who apply for disaster assistance
benefits in the event of a federally
declared disaster. The Individuals and
Households Program (IHP) (the Act at
5174, Federal Assistance to Individuals
and Households) provides financial

assistance to eligible individuals and
households who, as a direct result of a
major disaster or emergency have
necessary expenses and serious needs.
The ‘‘Other Needs Assistance’’ (ONA)
provision of IHP provides disaster
assistance to address needs other than
housing, such as personal property,
transportation, etc.
The delivery of the ONA provision of
IHP is contingent upon the State/Tribe
choosing an administrator for the
assistance. States/Tribes satisfy the
selection of an administrator of ONA by
completing the Administrative Option
Agreement (FEMA Form 010–0–11),
which establishes a plan for the delivery
of ONA. This agreement establishes a
partnership with FEMA and inscribes
the plan for the delivery of disaster
assistance. The agreement is used to
identify the State/Tribe’s proposed level
of support and participation during
disaster recovery. In response to Super
Storm Sandy (October 2012), Congress
added ‘‘child care’’ expenses as a
category of ONA through the Sandy
Recovery Improvement Act of 2013
(SRIA), Public Law 113–2. Section 1108
of the SRIA amends section 408(e)(1) of
the Stafford Act (42 U.S.C. 5174(e)(1)),
giving FEMA the specific authority to
pay for ‘‘child care’’ expenses as disaster
assistance under ONA.
Collection of Information
Title: Federal Assistance to
Individuals and Households Program,
(IHP).
Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a currently approved
information collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0061.

Temporary Housing Assistance); FEMA
Form 010–0–12S (Spanish) Solicitud

Vivienda Temporera.
Abstract: The Federal Assistance to
Individuals and Households Program
(IHP) enhances applicants’ ability to
request approval of late applications,
request continued assistance, and
appeal program decisions. Similarly, it
allows States to partner with FEMA for
delivery of disaster assistance under the
‘‘Other Needs’’ provision of the IHP
through Administrative Option
Agreements and Administration Plans
addressing the level of managerial and
resource support necessary.
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal
Government.
