SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford
Act), Public Law 93–288, as amended, is
the legal basis for the Federal
Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) to provide financial assistance
and services to individuals applying for
disaster assistance benefits in the event
of a federally declared disaster.
Regulations in 44 CFR 206.110—Federal
Assistance to Individuals and
Households (IHP) implements the
policy and procedures set forth in
section 408 of the Stafford Act, 42
U.S.C. 5174, as amended. This program
provides financial assistance and, if
necessary, direct assistance to eligible
individuals and households who, as a
direct result of a major disaster or
emergency, have uninsured or underinsured, necessary expenses and serious
needs, and are unable to meet such
expenses or needs through other means.
This proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on April 13, 2022, at 87 FR
21894 with a 60 day public comment
period. FEMA received one comment.
Comment: ‘‘There needs to be a limit
on how long you allow those displaced
to find new arrangements. The
rebuilding time and building in a
known flood zone simply does not make
sense. The new development on the
shore of an ocean and on the banks of
rivers that will have new heights makes
no sense at all. [FEMA] needs to look
ahead as well as behind and prevent
new development in flood zones.’’
FEMA Response: An eligible applicant
may receive Continued Temporary
Housing Assistance based on their need
and generally only when adequate,
alternate housing is not available, or
when the applicant’s permanent
housing plan has not been fulfilled
through no fault of the applicant. While
FEMA may provide financial temporary
housing assistance up to 18 months, i.e.,
the end of the period of assistance,
FEMA generally expects that pre-
PO 00000
Frm 00089
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
disaster renters will use their initial
Rental Assistance to obtain permanent
housing and that all recipients of
financial assistance will obtain and
occupy permanent housing at the
earliest possible time. Regardless, in
order to receive Continued Temporary
Housing Assistance, applicants must
submit to FEMA documentation,
showing they have a temporary housing
need, and must continue to work toward
obtaining permanent housing to remain
eligible for Continued Temporary
Housing Assistance.
With regard to flood zones and coastal
areas, the National Flood Insurance
Reform Act and FEMA regulations
require applicants who receive Federal
financial assistance to purchase flood
insurance for future flood damage to any
insurable property for acquisition or
construction purposes. This
requirement applies only to real and
personal property that is, or will be, in
a designated Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) and can be insured under the
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP). Applicants who live in a
designated SFHA and receive
Individuals and Households Program
(IHP) assistance for Home Repair, Home
Replacement, Personal Property, or
Permanent Housing Construction (PHC)
must obtain and maintain flood
insurance coverage for at least the
amount of disaster assistance they
receive from FEMA for NFIP-insurable
real or personal property items.
Applicants may satisfy the insurance
requirement by purchasing private
insurance or a policy through the NFIP.
Applicants who do not obtain and
maintain flood insurance will be
ineligible for IHP assistance for flooddamaged real or personal property in
future disasters with flood-related
damage.
The NFIP was created to reduce the
impact of flooding on private and public
structures by providing affordable
insurance to property owners and by
encouraging communities to adopt and
enforce floodplain management
regulations.
Further, the Coastal Barrier Resources
Act (CBRA) protects coastal areas from
development by limiting Federal
financial assistance for developmentrelated activities in designated Coastal
Barrier Resources System (CBRS) areas.
CBRS areas are coastal areas that protect
valuable habitat for fish and wildlife
and are subject to wave, wind, and tidal
forces, and are mapped by the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service. The CBRS
contains two types of coastal barrier
areas: CBRS Units and otherwise
protected areas (OPAs). An eligible
applicant whose pre-disaster primary

residence is located within a CBRS Unit
may not be considered for Home Repair
Assistance, Home Replacement
Assistance, PHC, or certain types of
Other Needs Assistance. Whereas an
eligible applicant whose pre-disaster
residence is located within an OPA may
be considered for all forms of IHP
assistance; however, the residence is
also subject to NFIRA requirements for
sanctioned communities and SFHAs, if
applicable.
The purpose of this notice is to notify
the public that FEMA will submit the
information collection abstracted below
to the Office of Management and Budget
for review and clearance.

direct assistance to eligible individuals and households who, as a

This proposed information collection previously published in the

FEMA Response: An eligible applicant may receive Continued
Temporary Housing Assistance based on their need and generally only
when adequate, alternate housing is not available, or when the
applicant's permanent housing plan has not been fulfilled through no
fault of the applicant. While FEMA may provide financial temporary
housing assistance up to 18 months, i.e., the end of the period of
assistance, FEMA generally expects that pre-disaster renters will use
their initial Rental Assistance to obtain permanent housing and that
all recipients of financial assistance will obtain and occupy permanent
housing at the earliest possible time. Regardless, in order to receive
Continued Temporary Housing Assistance, applicants must submit to FEMA
documentation, showing they have a temporary housing need, and must
continue to work toward obtaining permanent housing to remain eligible
for Continued Temporary Housing Assistance.
With regard to flood zones and coastal areas, the National Flood
Insurance Reform Act and FEMA regulations require applicants who
receive Federal financial assistance to purchase flood insurance for
future flood damage to any insurable property for acquisition or
construction purposes. This requirement applies only to real and
personal property that is, or will be, in a designated Special Flood
Hazard Area (SFHA) and can be insured under the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). Applicants who live in a designated SFHA and
receive Individuals and Households Program (IHP) assistance for Home
Repair, Home Replacement, Personal Property, or Permanent Housing
Construction (PHC) must obtain and maintain flood insurance coverage
for at least the amount of disaster assistance they receive from FEMA
for NFIP-insurable real or personal property items. Applicants may
satisfy the insurance requirement by purchasing private insurance or a
policy through the NFIP. Applicants who do not obtain and maintain
flood insurance will be ineligible for IHP assistance for flood-damaged
real or personal property in future disasters with flood-related
damage.
The NFIP was created to reduce the impact of flooding on private
and public structures by providing affordable insurance to property
owners and by encouraging communities to adopt and enforce floodplain
management regulations.
Further, the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) protects coastal
areas from development by limiting Federal financial assistance for
development-related activities in designated Coastal Barrier Resources
System (CBRS) areas. CBRS areas are coastal areas that protect valuable
habitat for fish and wildlife and are subject to wave, wind, and tidal
forces, and are mapped by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The CBRS
contains two types of coastal barrier areas: CBRS Units and otherwise
protected areas (OPAs). An eligible applicant whose pre-disaster
primary
[[Page 52589]]
residence is located within a CBRS Unit may not be considered for Home
Repair Assistance, Home Replacement Assistance, PHC, or certain types
of Other Needs Assistance. Whereas an eligible applicant whose pre-
disaster residence is located within an OPA may be considered for all
forms of IHP assistance; however, the residence is also subject to
NFIRA requirements for sanctioned communities and SFHAs, if applicable.
The purpose of this notice is to notify the public that FEMA will
submit the information collection abstracted below to the Office of
