SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April

Information on FEMA Programs,
Regulations, and Policies.1 FEMA is
seeking public input on specific FEMA
programs, regulations, collections of
information, and policies for the agency
to consider modifying, streamlining,

recent Executive orders. These efforts
aim to help FEMA ensure that its
programs, regulations, and policies

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.
Specifically, FEMA seeks this input
pursuant to the processes required 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.
The purpose of the request for
information is to seek general feedback
on FEMA’s programs. Individuals
cannot apply for FEMA assistance by
submitting a comment in the Federal
Register. If you are an individual who
has been impacted by a disaster and you
are seeking assistance from FEMA,
please visit https://www.fema.gov/
assistance/individual or call the FEMA
Helpline (1–800–621–3362/TTY (800)
462–7585) to apply or receive
information on a pending request.
FEMA is holding public meetings and
extending the comment period to ensure
all interested parties have sufficient
opportunity to provide comments on
FEMA’s programs. FEMA will carefully
consider all relevant comments received
during the meetings, and during the rest
of the comment period. All comments or
remarks provided on the request for
information during the meeting will be
recorded and posted to the rulemaking
docket on https://www.regulations.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Collection of Information
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Type of Information Collection:
Extension, without change, of a
currently approved information
collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0130.
Form Titles and Numbers: None.
Abstract: The information collection
activity will garner qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. This
feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences, and expectations; provide
an early warning of issues with service;
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training, or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative,
and actionable communications
between the Agency and its customers
and stakeholders. It will also allow
feedback to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: The
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be

eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,075,000.

Federal Government: $2,180,168.
Comments
Comments may be submitted as
indicated in the ADDRESSES caption
above. Comments are solicited to (a)
evaluate whether the proposed data
collection is necessary for the proper
performance of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
