Company may not disclose such
confidential information to a third-party
without the express written consent of
FEMA or as otherwise required by law.

provides disaster survivors the
opportunity to request approval of late
applications, continued temporary
housing assistance, request advance
disaster assistance, stop payments not
received in order to be reissued funds,

survivors to provide additional
information after the initial disaster
assistance registration period in support
of their applications for assistance from
FEMA’s IHP. If the information in this
collection is not collected, a delay in
assistance provided to disaster survivors
would occur.

Under
sections 401 and 501 of the Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act (Stafford Act) (42 U.S.C
5170 and 5190), if a state or Tribe is
impacted by an event of the severity and
magnitude that is beyond its response
capabilities, the state Governor or Chief
Executive may seek a declaration by the
President that a major disaster or
emergency exists. Any major disaster or
emergency request must be submitted
through FEMA, which evaluates the
request and makes a recommendation to
the President about what response
action to take. If the major disaster or
emergency declaration request is
granted, the state or Tribe may be
eligible to receive assistance under 42
U.S.C. 5170a–5170c; 5172–5186; 5189c–
5189d; and 5192. A state or Tribe may
appeal denials of a major disaster or
emergency declaration request for
determinations under section 44 CFR
206.46 and seek an adjustment to the
cost share percentage under section 44
CFR 206.47. FEMA is revising the
currently approved information
collection to account for an update in
the estimates of the number of disaster
declaration requests received each year.
This proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on December 12, 2022, at 87 FR
76067 with a 60-day public comment
period. No comments were received.
This notice also corrects two
typographical errors in the previously
published notice, which listed the
number of respondents as 70 when the
correct number of respondents is 140
and the estimated number of responses
as 120 when the correct number of
responses is 240. 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.
