These efforts aim to help FEMA ensure that its programs, regulations, and policies contain necessary, properly tailored, and up-to-date requirements that effectively achieve FEMA’s mission in a manner that furthers the goals of advancing equity for all, including those in underserved communities, bolstering resilience from the impacts of climate change, particularly for those disproportionately impacted by climate change, and environmental justice.

Instructions: All submissions must include the agency name and Docket ID for this notice. All comments received will be posted without change to https:// www.regulations.gov. Commenters are encouraged to identify the number of the specific question or questions to which they are responding. Docket: For access to the docket to read background documents or comments, go to https:// www.regulations.gov. II. Background FEMA seeks this input pursuant to the processes required specifically by Executive Orders 13985, 13990, and 14008 that require agencies to assess existing programs and policies to determine if: (1) Agency programs and policies perpetuate systemic barriers to opportunities and benefits for people of color and other underserved groups; (2) additional agency actions are required to bolster resilience to climate change; and (3) agency programs, policies, and activities address the disproportionately high and adverse climate-related impacts on disadvantaged communities. Consistent with Executive Order 13563 and Executive Order 13707, FEMA further seeks this input to ensure that it is implementing its programs in a manner that builds disaster readiness and closes national capability gaps through data-driven approaches and risk-informed preparedness and mitigation investments as well as in delivering the Agency’s response and recovery mission sets. On January 20, 2021, the President issued Executive Order 13985, ‘‘Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government,’’ 1 designed to pursue a comprehensive approach to advancing equity for all, including people of color and others who have been historically underserved, marginalized, and adversely affected by persistent poverty and inequality. The Executive order defines ‘‘equity’’ as the consistent and systemic fair, just, and impartial treatment of all individuals, including individuals who belong to underserved communities that have been denied such treatment, such as: Black, Latino, and Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other persons of color; members of religious minorities; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) persons; persons with disabilities; persons who live in rural areas; and persons otherwise adversely affected by persistent poverty or inequality. It defines ‘‘underserved communities’’ as ‘‘populations sharing a particular characteristic, as well as geographic communities, that have been systematically denied a full opportunity to participate in aspects of economic, social, and civic life, as exemplified by the list in the preceding definition of ‘equity.’ ’’ Executive Order 13985 further requires each agency to assess whether, and to what extent, its programs and policies perpetuate systemic barriers to opportunities and benefits for people of color and other underserved groups with the goal of developing policies and programs that deliver resources and benefits equitably to all. The Executive order requires agencies to consult with members of communities that have been historically underrepresented in the Federal Government and underserved by, or subject to discrimination, in Federal policies and programs. On the same day, the President issued Executive Order 13990 ‘‘Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis.’’ 2 The order requires agencies to review and take action to address the promulgation of Federal regulations and other actions in conflict with the objectives of improving public health and protecting the environment by, among other things, bolstering resilience to the impacts of climate change. In taking these actions, agencies were directed to seek input from the public and stakeholders, including: State, local, Tribal, and territorial officials; scientists; labor unions; environmental advocates; and environmental justice groups. Finally, on January 27, 2021, the President issued Executive Order 14008 ‘‘Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad.’’ 3 This order directs agencies to move quickly to build resilience, at home and abroad, against impacts of climate change and to prioritize action on climate change in policymaking. Additionally, the order requires agencies to develop programs, policies, and activities to deliver environmental justice and address the disproportionately high and adverse climate-related impacts on disadvantaged communities. To facilitate these actions, agencies are required to engage with State, local, Tribal, and territorial governments; 2 86 1 86 PO 00000 FR 7009 (Jan. 25, 2021).
