FEMA
proposes to collect information from
parties who apply for compensation
under FEMA-established fire claims
programs stemming from its role
providing financial assistance and direct
services to individuals applying for
disaster assistance benefits in the event
of a federally declared disaster as
specified by the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act (Stafford Act), Public
Law 93–288, as amended (42 U.S.C.
5121–5207). On September 30, 2022,
President Biden signed into law the
Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire
Assistance Act (‘‘Act’’) Public Law 117–
180, Division G—Hermit’s Peak/Calf
Canyon Fire Assistance Act. Congress
passed the Act to compensate those
claimants who suffered injury and loss
of property from the Hermit’s Peak/Calf
Canyon Fire. A generic clearance will
help minimize delays in FEMA’s ability
to respond to future fire incidents
resulting in the establishment of claims
offices.
This proposed information collection

Register on May 5, 2023, at 88 FR 29144
