SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act)
(42 U.S.C. 5121–5207) authorizes the
President to establish a program of

disaster preparedness that utilizes
services of all appropriate agencies and
includes training and exercises. Section
611 of the Stafford Act (42 U.S.C. 5196)
provides that the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) may
conduct training for the purpose of
emergency preparedness. In response,
FEMA established the National
Emergency Training Center (NETC),
located in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The
NETC site has facilities and housing
available for those participating in
preparedness training and a request for
use of these areas is required to be made
in advance for the need for such. The
primary means of making advanced
requests for use of space at NETC is the
use of email communication and this
typically includes the specifics for the
use of NETC for date of arrival and
departure, how many participants, the
requirement for lodging to include how
many people, room space required,
meals required, and equipment needed.
These items that were required to be
captured by completing the Request For
Use of NETC Facilities Form are now
captured within the content of the email
communication. The secondary means
of making requests to use NETC space
is by telephone communication and
those requirements are discussed in that
manner.
The NETC is a FEMA facility which
houses all FEMA employees at
headquarters, regions, field
establishments, and other individuals
and organizations authorized to use the
facilities. The responsibilities,
procedures, and potential fees charged
for using the NETC facilities are
identified in accordance with FEMA
Directive Number 119–3, Facility Use
and Expenses at the National
Emergency Training Center dated May
21, 2018. The NETC provides training
and educational programs in emergency
response, preparedness, fire prevention
and control, disaster response, and longterm disaster recovery. The principal
purpose of FEMA Form FF–USFA–FY–
21–107 (formerly 119–17–1), Request for
Housing Accommodations, is to request
housing at the NETC, and the principal
purpose of FEMA Form FF–USFA–FY–
21–108 (formerly 119–17–2), Request for
Use of NETC Facilities, is to conduct
official business at the NETC.
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, this notice seeks
comments concerning the removal of
use of the FEMA Form FF–USFA–FY–
21–108 (formerly 119–17–2), Request

ACTION: 30 Day notice of revision and

AGENCY:
The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) will
submit the information collection
abstracted below to the Office of
Management and Budget for review and
clearance in accordance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The submission
seeks comments concerning changes to
modernize and simplify the disaster
assistance registration. The changes will
reduce the burden on survivors by only
requiring them to answer questions
based on the type of assistance they
need. This will also reduce the amount
of time it takes for survivors to apply
either online, or through a call center,
therefore allowing call center agents to
assist survivors more quickly. The
notice also includes FEMA
documenting all post-registration
contacts, including callouts, casework,
and auto-dialers performed for the
purpose of determining whether disaster
assistance applicants have unmet needs
and may be eligible for additional
assistance and/or share the results of
those contacts directly with external
stakeholders, such as state or local
government partners, who can
potentially assist those same applicants
with assistance or services not provided
by FEMA through specific programs
directly targeted to disaster survivors.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before March 24, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (Pub. L. 93–
288, as amended) (the Stafford Act) is
the legal basis for FEMA to provide
financial assistance and services to
individuals who apply for disaster
assistance benefits in the event of a
Presidentially-declared disaster.
Regulations in title 44 CFR, subpart D,
‘‘Federal Assistance to Individuals and
Households,’’ implement the policy and
procedures set forth in section 408 of
the Stafford Act. Housing Assistance
(HA) is a provision of the Individuals
and Households Program (IHP),
authorized by section 408(c) of the
Stafford Act. There are two forms of
assistance: financial and direct.
Financial Housing Assistance refers to
funds provided to eligible applicants for
temporary lodging expenses, rental of
temporary housing, or repair or
replacement of a damaged primary
residence. Direct Temporary Housing
Assistance includes providing
Temporary Housing Units (THU)
through Multi-Family Lease or Repair
(MLR) or Direct Lease, or placing
transportable temporary housings
(TTHU), such as manufactured housing
units (MHU) and recreational vehicles
or travel trailers, on private,
commercial, or group sites. This
program provides financial assistance
and, if necessary, direct assistance to
eligible individuals and households
who, as a direct result of a major
disaster, have necessary expenses and
serious needs that are unable to be met
through other means. Individuals and
households may apply for assistance
through the Registration Intake (RI)
process under the IHP in person, via
telephone, or the internet. FEMA
provides financial assistance under

In response, FEMA established the National Emergency Training Center

response, and long-term disaster recovery. The principal purpose of
FEMA Form FF-USFA-FY-21-107 (formerly 119-17-1), Request for Housing
