SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act) (Pub. L. 93–288, as amended) (42 U.S.C. 5121–5207) 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. Housing Assistance is a provision of the Individuals and Households Program, 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 through Multifamily Lease and Repair and Direct Lease, or placing transportable temporary housings, such as manufactured housing units 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 process under the Individuals and Households Program in person, via telephone, or the internet. FEMA provides financial assistance under Other Needs Assistance to individuals or households affected by a major disaster to meet disaster-related medical, dental, funeral, childcare, personal property, transportation, moving and storage expenses, and other necessary expenses or serious needs resulting from a major disaster under section 408(e)(1) of the Stafford Act. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:48 Oct 18, 2023 Jkt 262001 The changes to the following forms support Executive Order 14058, Transforming Federal Customer Experience and Service Delivery to Rebuild Trust in Government (86 FR 71357, December 16, 2021). The changes will rebuild trust in the Federal Government by promoting transparency of FEMA’s Disaster Assistance application process. The major changes will decrease the amount of time to create a new registration and streamline the application process to create a simpler registration progression focused on an individual’s specific recovery needs. Streamlining breaks the application process down into specific workflows in a more user-friendly format: FEMA Forms FF–104–FY–21–123 (formerly 009–0–1T, English) and FF– 104–FY–21–123–A (formerly 009–0–1T, Spanish), Tele-Registration Application for Disaster Assistance are being removed due to the addition of the ten Streamline Registration Intake workflows. The ten workflows are: Home Damage, Personal Property Damage, Vehicle Damage, Emergency Needs, Essential Utilities Outage, Funeral Expenses, Childcare Expenses, Lodging Expenses, Medical or Dental Expenses, and Expenses for Miscellaneous items (e.g., chainsaws, generators, etc.). FEMA Form FF–104–FY–21–123–FA (English), Tele-Registration, is being removed and replaced with FEMA Form FF–104–FY–22–260, Streamline Registration Intake for Funeral Expenses, Disaster Assistance Registration. FEMA Forms FF–104–FY–21–123 (formerly 009–0–1T, English) and FF– 104–FY–21–123–A (formerly 009–0–1T, Spanish), Tele-Registration Application for Disaster Assistance are being removed due to the addition of the ten Streamline Registration Intake flows. COVID–19 Funeral Assistance will remain in FEMA Template FT–104–FY– 22–101, Request for Information (RFI)— Funeral Verification (English) until the COVID–19 application period ends. This collection contains the proposed changes to the disaster application process that will reduce the time to apply for IHP assistance. This update specifically recognizes post launch usability and the public’s responses to the changes which will also be nonsubstantive throughout as the updates are not specifically content driven. These changes will reduce the burden on survivors by only requiring them to answer questions based on the type of assistance they need. In documenting all post-registration callouts, auto-dialer contacts and PO 00000 Frm 00053 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 72093 subsequent collection of data, FEMA can determine whether applicants have unmet needs, can process the applicant for financial or direct assistance sharing the results of those contacts directly with external stakeholders. This data is specifically used for FEMA and its stakeholders to determine whether assistance is warranted. 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. This notice specifically recognizes post launch usability and feedback from the public. FEMA is seeking the public’s comments on identifying ways on making this a more user-friendly collection and more functional to meet the end users-applicants’ needs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 
Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act) (Pub. L. 93-288, as amended) 
(42 U.S.C. 5121-5207) 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. 
Housing Assistance is a provision of the Individuals and Households 
Program, 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

Assistance includes providing Temporary Housing Units through 
Multifamily Lease and Repair and Direct Lease, or placing transportable

    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

Other Needs Assistance to individuals or households affected by a major 
disaster to meet disaster-related medical, dental, funeral, childcare, 
personal property, transportation, moving and storage expenses, and 
other necessary expenses or serious needs resulting from a major 
disaster under section 408(e)(1) of the Stafford Act.
    The changes to the following forms support Executive Order 14058, 
Transforming Federal Customer Experience and Service Delivery to 
Rebuild Trust in Government (86 FR 71357, December 16, 2021). The 
changes will rebuild trust in the Federal Government by promoting

major changes will decrease the amount of time to create a new 
registration and streamline the application process to create a simpler 
registration progression focused on an individual's specific recovery 
needs. Streamlining breaks the application process down into specific

    FEMA Forms FF-104-FY-21-123 (formerly 009-0-1T, English) and FF-
104-FY-21-123-A (formerly 009-0-1T, Spanish), Tele-Registration 
Application for Disaster Assistance are being removed due to the 
addition of the ten Streamline Registration Intake workflows. The ten 
workflows are: Home Damage, Personal Property Damage, Vehicle Damage, 
Emergency Needs, Essential Utilities Outage, Funeral Expenses, 
Childcare Expenses, Lodging Expenses, Medical or Dental Expenses, and 
Expenses for Miscellaneous items (e.g., chainsaws, generators, etc.).
    FEMA Form FF-104-FY-21-123-FA (English), Tele-Registration, is 
being removed and replaced with FEMA Form FF-104-FY-22-260, Streamline

    COVID-19 Funeral Assistance will remain in FEMA Template FT-104-FY-
22-101, Request for Information (RFI)--Funeral Verification (English) 
until the COVID-19 application period ends.
    This collection contains the proposed changes to the disaster 
application process that will reduce the time to apply for IHP 
assistance. This update specifically recognizes post launch usability 
and the public's responses to the changes which will also be non-
substantive throughout as the updates are not specifically content 
driven. These changes will reduce the burden on survivors by only 
requiring them to answer questions based on the type of assistance they 
need.
    In documenting all post-registration callouts, auto-dialer contacts 
and subsequent collection of data, FEMA can determine whether 
applicants have unmet needs, can process the applicant for financial or 
direct assistance sharing the results of those contacts directly with 
external stakeholders. This data is specifically used for FEMA and its 
stakeholders to determine whether assistance is warranted.
    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.
    This notice specifically recognizes post launch usability and 
feedback from the public. FEMA is seeking the public's comments on 
identifying ways on making this a more user-friendly collection and

result of a disaster or emergency, have uninsured or under-insured, 
necessary or serious expenses they are unable to meet. This revision of 
a currently approved information collection will improve the 
applicant's experience with the disaster assistance registration 
process by providing a simpler, more intuitive interface and limiting 
required responses to those needed based on their needs. These changes 
will help rebuild trust in the Federal Government by promoting 
transparency of FEMA's Disaster Assistance application process.
