Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 27 / Thursday, February 8, 2024 / Notices awards of DHS financial assistance only submit one completed form for their organization, not per award. Recipient are required to complete the form once every two years if they have an active award, not every time a grant is awarded. Entities whose award does not run a full two years are required to provide the information again if they receive a subsequent award more than two (2) years after the prior award. In responding to Section 4: Required Information, which contains the bulk of the information collection, if the recipient’s responses have not changed in the two-year period since their initial submission, the recipient does not need to resubmit the information. Instead, the recipient will indicate ‘‘no change’’ for each applicable item. The purpose of the information collection is to advise recipients of their civil rights obligations and collect pertinent civil rights information to ascertain if the recipient has in place adequate policies and procedures to achieve compliance, and to determine what, if any, further action may be needed (technical assistance, training, compliance review, etc.) to ensure the recipient is able to meet its civil rights requirements and will carry out its programs and activities in a nondiscriminatory manner. Over the past three years, DHS has used the information collected via the DHS Civil Rights Evaluation Tool to identify gaps and deficiencies in recipient programs and directly help recipients address these gaps and deficiencies by providing technical assistance on developing or improving policies and procedures to prevent discrimination and ensure accessibility. DHS is transitioning the submission process from an email-based system to a new online portal platform. The portal will streamline and improve the submission process by allowing recipients to view the requirements contained in the form, report civil rights complaint and lawsuit data in a standardized chart, upload responsive documents and supporting information, and access technical assistance templates and other resources all in one space. DHS anticipates that records or files that will be used to respond to the information collection are already maintained in electronic format by the recipient, so providing the information electronically further minimizes administrative burden. When fully deployed, recipients will also be able to view and update contact information, the status of their submission with DHS, and submission due dates. If the recipient is unable to submit their information electronically, VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:34 Feb 07, 2024 Jkt 262001 alternative arrangements will be made to submit responses in hard copy. The information collection will impact some small entities (e.g., nonprofit service providers, local fire departments, etc.); however, recipients will only be required to provide this information once every two years, not every time a grant is awarded. Additionally, in responding to Section 4: Required Information, if the recipient’s responses have not changed in the two-year period since their initial submission, the recipient does not need to resubmit the information. This will dramatically reduce the administrative burden on recipients after the initial submission. Additionally, DHS will further minimize burden on recipients by making available sample policies, procedures, and templates to assist recipients in completing Section 4 of the Form, and providing technical assistance directly to the recipient as needed. In accordance with the authorities identified above, the Department is required to obtain a signed assurance of compliance from recipients and to ensure that its federally assisted programs and activities are administered in a nondiscriminatory manner. If the information collection is not conducted or is conducted less frequently, the Department will not be able to fulfill its obligations to ascertain recipient compliance and enforce nondiscrimination in recipient programs. This could lead to the award of Federal financial assistance to recipients that are not complying with Federal civil rights law, and the perpetuation of discrimination in the provision of benefits and services to members of the public. There are no confidentiality assurances associated with this collection. The only privacy-sensitive information the form collects are the names of Point of Contacts from recipient organizations. Coverage for the collection of this information is provided under a Department Privacy Impact Assessment, DHS/ALL/PIA–006 General Contacts List. DHS is seeking a revision of the collection for another three-year period, proposing changes to Section 1 Instructions, Section 2 Organization Information and Section 5 Additional Information. The changes to Sections 1, 2, and 5 do not impact the burden analysis for the collection. The changes in burden reflect the increase in the number of entities that are required to respond to the collection (as a result of increased Department grantmaking), increase in hourly wage rates as reported by BLS in the 2022 National PO 00000 Frm 00053 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 8693 Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates, increase in hourly wage rates for Federal staff as reported by Office of Personnel Management for 2023, increases in the number of staff supporting the program, and development of an online portal to streamline and modernize the submission process. Lastly, DHS is changing the name of the collection from ‘‘DHS Civil Rights Compliance Form’’ to ‘‘DHS Civil Rights Evaluation Tool.’’ The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in comments which: 1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; 2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; 3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and 4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD is providing this notice in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended by the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 100–503) and the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Amendments of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–508) (Privacy Act); Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Final Guidance Interpreting the Provisions of Public Law 100–503, the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, 54 FR 25818 (June 19, 1989); and OMB Circular A– 108, 81 FR 94424 (December 23, 2016). To support the prevention of duplication of benefits, HUD will request data from DHS FEMA and DHS FIMA on an as-needed basis to share with Community Development Block Grant disaster recovery (CDBG–DR) grantees, and make changes where HUD deems necessary to avoid confusion. CDBG–DR grantees will conduct a DOB review for CDBG–DR grant-funded programs and activities. HUD’s data request will be based on the specific program requirements specified in an approved CDBG–DR grantee action plan. CDBG–DR grantees will use FEMA data received through HUD to facilitate expedited program implementation while preventing the duplication of benefits already received from FEMA. All data sharing from HUD to CDBG–DR grantees will occur in accordance with agreements between HUD and the CDBG–DR grantees that address requirements related to the use and protection of the data. Participating Agencies: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS–FEMA) Department of Homeland Security, Federal Insurance Mitigation Administration (DHS–FIMA), and Community Development Block Grant— Disaster Recovery (CDBG–DR) grantees. Authority for Conducting the Matching Program: A. Section 12 of the Stafford Act, as amended, at 42 U.S.C. 5155, requires each Federal agency that administers any program providing financial assistance because of a major disaster or emergency to assure that no individual PO 00000 Frm 00054 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 or entity receives duplicate financial assistance under any program, from insurance, or through any other source. The Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5155(c), requires FEMA or HUD (whichever agency provided the duplicative assistance) to recover all duplicative assistance from the recipient when the head of such agency considers it to be in the best interest of the Federal Government. For CDBG–DR grants, HUD does not directly make awards to grantee program applicants; however, HUD imposes the requirements of section 312 on CDBG–DR grantees. Additionally, appropriations acts that make CDBG–DR funds available, including those listed in paragraph II.C.8. of this Agreement, require CDBG– DR grantees to have adequate procedures to prevent the duplication of benefits. HUD enforces these requirements on CDBG–DR grantees using its statutory and regulatory remedies for noncompliance in section 111 of title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5311) and regulations at 24 CFR part 570 and 2 CFR part 200. B. Section 408(i) of the Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5174(i), directs and authorizes FEMA, in carrying out section 408 (Federal Assistance to Individuals and Households), to ‘‘develop a system, including an electronic database,’’ to: 1. Verify the identity and address of recipients of assistance to provide reasonable assurance that payments are made only to an individual or household that is eligible for such assistance, 2. Minimize the risk of making duplicative payments or payments for fraudulent claims, 3. Collect any duplicate payment on a claim or reduce the amount of subsequent payments to offset the amount of any such duplicate payment, 4. Provide instructions to recipients of assistance regarding the proper use of any such assistance, regardless of how such assistance is distributed, and 5. Conduct an expedited and simplified review and appeal process for an individual or household whose application for assistance is denied. C. Executive Order 13411, ‘‘Improving Assistance for Disaster Victims,’’ 71 FR 52729 (August 29, 2006), calls on Federal agencies to ‘‘reduce unnecessarily duplicative application forms and processes for Federal disaster assistance,’’ which includes processing benefits applications submitted by individuals, businesses, or other entities for the same disaster. D. The FEMA–008 Disaster Recovery Assistance Files System of Records, 87 FR 7852 (February 10, 2022), and the E:\FR\FM\08FEN1.SGM 08FEN1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 27 / Thursday, February 8, 2024 / Notices FEMA–003 National Flood Insurance Program Files System of Records Notice, 79 FR 28747 (May 19, 2014), authorizes FEMA to provide Federal agencies with access to FEMA’s electronic records of individuals and households receiving assistance to make available any additional assistance to the affected individuals and households and to prevent duplication of benefits. 1. Pursuant to Routine Use I.1 of the FEMA–008 Disaster Recovery Assistance Files System of Records, 87 FR 7852 (February 10, 2022; Routine Use I.1), FEMA may disclose applicant information to other Federal entities with programs that make available disaster assistance to individuals and households, administer a disasterrelated program, and/or give preference of priority to disaster applicants, including those that evacuate from a declared state to another state, and/or to prevent a duplication of efforts or benefits. 2. Pursuant to Routine Use I.2 of the FEMA–008 Disaster Recovery Assistance Files System of Records, 87 FR 7852 (February 10, 2022; Routine Use I.2), FEMA may disclose applicant information to State, Tribal, and Territorial agency programs that make available disaster assistance to individuals and households, and/or give preference of priority to disaster applicants, including those that evacuate from a declared state to another state, and/or to prevent a duplication of efforts or benefits. 3. Pursuant to Routine Use S of the FEMA–008 Disaster Recovery Assistance Files System of Records, 87 FR 7852 (February 10, 2022; Routine Use S), FEMA may share information with other Federal, State, or local government agencies under approved computer-matching programs for the purposes articulated in subsection (a)(8)(A) of the Privacy Act. 4. Pursuant to Routine Use I of the FEMA–003 National Flood Insurance Program Files System of Records Notice, 79 FR 28747 (May 19, 2014), FEMA may share National Flood Insurance Program Files with Federal, State, local, Tribal, or Territorial government agencies to prevent duplication of benefits or to address needs unmet by eligible, ineligible, or partially eligible NFIP claims payments. 5. Pursuant to Routine Use L of the FEMA–003 National Flood Insurance Program Files System of Records Notice, 79 FR 28747 (May 19, 2014), FEMA may share National Flood Insurance Program Files with State, local, and Tribal government agencies to ascertain the degree of financial burdens they expect VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:34 Feb 07, 2024 Jkt 262001 to assume in the event of a flooding disaster within its jurisdiction. E. At times, the President may authorize both emergency sheltering and section 408 Federal assistance to individuals and households, pursuant to either a major disaster under section 403, at 42 U.S.C. 5170b, or an emergency under section 502 of the Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5192. Essential Assistance, pursuant to section 403(a)(3)(B) of the Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5170b, authorizes emergency sheltering, including both congregate and non-congregate sheltering, to meet the immediate needs of disaster survivors for a major disaster. Additionally, Federal assistance where necessary to prevent human suffering under section 502(a)(8) authorizes emergency sheltering for an emergency. F. Essential Assistance pursuant to section 403(a)(3)(B) of the Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5170b authorizes FEMA to provide emergency sheltering, including non-congregate sheltering to meet the immediate needs of disaster survivors. The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, 31 U.S.C. 3325(d) and 7701(c)(1), requires Federal agencies to collect the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) or Social Security Number (SSN) of each person who receives payments from the Federal Government; and each person doing business with the Federal Government is required to furnish his or her TIN. 6. For the purposes of 31 U.S.C. 7701, a person is doing business with the Federal Government if the person is: i. A lender or servicer in a Federal guaranteed or insured loan program administered by a Federal agency, ii. An applicant for, or recipient of, a Federal license permit, right-of-way, grant, or benefit payment administered by a Federal agency, iii. A contractor of a Federal agency, iv. Assessed a fine, fee, royalty, or penalty by a Federal agency, or v. In a relationship with a Federal agency that may give rise to a receivable due to that agency such as a partner of a borrower in, or a guarantor of, a Federal direct or insured loan administered by the Federal agency. 7. Each Federal agency must inform each person required to disclose his or her TIN of the agency’s intent to use such number for purposes of collecting and reporting on any delinquent amounts arising out of such person’s relationship with the Federal Government. G. HUD’s System of Records Notice (SORN) provides individuals with notice of HUD’s intended uses of information contained within the following systems of records: PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 8695 1. Inventory Management System, also known as the Public and Indian Housing Information Center (IMS/PIC), HUD/PIH.01, 88 FR 17004 (March 21, 2023), 2. Enterprise Income Verification (EIV), HUD/PIH–5, 87 FR 50635 (August 17, 2022), and (a) 3. (b) Tenant Rental Assistance Certification System (TRACS), HUD/ HOU–11, 88 FR 45234 (July 14, 2023). The applicable routine uses for IMS/ PIC are Routine Use 10 and 11. The applicable routine use for EIV is Routine Use D. The applicable routine use for TRACS is Routine Use 13. H. The appropriations acts that authorize and appropriate supplemental CDBG–DR assistance lay out specific requirements, some of which may vary by appropriation. These appropriations acts impose requirements related to the (1) prevention of fraud, waste, and abuse, (2) order of assistance, and (3) prevention of duplication of benefits on HUD or its CDBG–DR grantees, as directed by the applicable act. The appropriations acts also require HUD to make allocations based on a determination of unmet need in the ‘‘most impacted and distressed areas’’ resulting from major disasters. Legal authority for CDBG–DR assistance is derived from title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.); subsequent appropriations acts making CDBG–DR assistance available; the following prior appropriations acts— Public Laws 117–328, 117–180, 117–43, 116–20, 115–254, 115–123, 115–56, 115–31, 114–254, 114–223, 114–113, 113–2, 112–55, 111–212, 110–329, 110–252, 110–116, 109–234, 109–148, 108–324, 107–206, 107–117, 107–73, 107–38, 106–31, 105–277, 105–276, 105–174, 105–18, 104–134, 104–19, 103–327, 103–211, 103–75, and 103– 50 —and by the notices published in the Federal Register that govern CDBG–DR grant assistance including the Updates to Duplication of Benefits Requirements Under the Stafford Act for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Disaster Recovery Grantees at 84 FR 28836 (June 20, 2019). I. The HUD regulation at 24 CFR 982.352(c) prohibits a family from receiving the benefit of Section 8 tenantbased assistance under the Housing Choice Voucher Program while also receiving the benefit of any of the following forms of other housing subsidy for the same or a different unit: 1. Public or Indian housing assistance, 2. Section 8 assistance (including other tenant-based assistance) under E:\FR\FM\08FEN1.SGM 08FEN1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 8696 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 27 / Thursday, February 8, 2024 / Notices section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, 42 U.S.C. 1437f, 3. Assistance under former section 23 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (before amendment by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974), 4. Section 101 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965, 12 U.S.C. 1701s (section 101 rent supplements), 5. Section 236 of the National Housing Act, 12 U.S.C. 1715z–1 (Section 236 rental assistance payments), 6. Tenant-based assistance under the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) authorized by Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. 12701 et seq., 7. Rental assistance payments under section 521 of the Housing Act of 1949, 42 U.S.C. 1441 et seq. (a program of the Rural Development Administration), 8. Any local or State rent subsidy, 9. Section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959, 12 U.S.C. 1701q, as amended (Section 202 supportive housing for the elderly), 8. Section 811 of the CranstonGonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 8013 (Section 811 supportive housing for persons with disabilities), 9. Section 202 projects for non-elderly persons with disabilities (Section 162 assistance) authorized by section 162 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987, 12 U.S.C. 1701a note, amending section 202(h) of the Housing Act of 1959, or 10. Any other duplicative Federal, State, or local housing subsidy, as determined by HUD. For this purpose, ‘‘housing subsidy’’ does not include the housing component of a welfare payment, a Social Security payment received by the family, or a rent reduction because of a tax credit. 11. HUD imposes grant agreement terms that implement flood insurance requirements such as section 582 of the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, 42 U.S.C. 5154a, and related regulations at 24 CFR 58.6(b), that prohibits the use of CDBG–DR grants to make a payment to a person for repair, replacement or restoration for flood damage to any personal, residential or commercial property if: (1) the person had previously received Federal flood disaster assistance conditioned on obtaining and maintaining flood insurance; and (2) the person failed to obtain and maintain flood insurance. Purpose: This Agreement establishes a computer matching program between FEMA, HUD, and CDBG–DR grantees identified in Appendix F. FEMA and VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:34 Feb 07, 2024 Jkt 262001 HUD will make efforts to assist disaster survivors with securing emergency housing solutions. FEMA, HUD, and CDBG–DR grantees will comply with requirements to prevent duplication of benefits between FEMA and HUD sources of assistance and CDBG–DR grantees will use FEMA data in their CDBG–DR process. The computer matching program will serve three purposes, as follows. 1. To transition HUD housing recipients, whose HUD homes are uninhabitable due to a declared disaster or emergency with Individual Assistance (IA) authorized, from emergency sheltering or FEMA housing assistance back into HUD-assisted housing. FEMA will quickly and efficiently match pre-disaster HUD housing program recipients with emergency sheltering or housing assistance recipients. Matching allows for early coordination between FEMA and HUD regarding HUD clients who are receiving emergency sheltering or FEMA housing assistance. The goal is to identify HUD housing program recipients participating in FEMA programs and return them to HUD housing assistance while also preventing duplication of individual benefits. 2. To allow HUD to develop the funding formulas to request additional appropriations from Congress and allocate funding for CDBG–DR grant awards. Data associated with this Agreement will be used by HUD to calculate the amount of HUD’s CDBG– DR grants, which are based on the number of unmet needs for the disaster. HUD performs a complex grants formulation process using Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data from FEMA and the Small Business Administration (SBA) to generate its CDBG–DR grant allocations and figures estimating unmet disaster needs for OMB and Congress. CDBG–DR grantees will agree to the terms of this CMA and sign the grantee signatory page in Appendix D. HUD will then provide data covered by this Agreement to the applicable CDBG–DR grantee so the CDBG–DR grantee can start planning and marketing the use of CDBG–DR grant funds. This data is not used for the determination of benefits. 3. To support duplication of benefit checks conducted by CDBG–DR grantees for CDBG–DR grant-funded programs and compliance with requirements in 42 U.S.C. 5154a and 24 CFR 58.6(b) that prohibit assistance for repair, replacement or restoration for flood damage to any personal, residential or commercial property in certain cases when flood insurance is not obtained PO 00000 Frm 00056 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and maintained, HUD will request IHP and NFIP data from FEMA on an asneeded basis to share with CDBG–DR grantees. HUD’s data request will be based on the specific program requirements specified in a CDBG–DR grantee Action Plan (including proposed action plans), such as data for all survivors meeting specific criteria related to tenure, geography, and type of FEMA benefit receipt. The data will be provided to facilitate expedited program implementation while preventing the duplication of benefits already received from FEMA. NFIP data will also be used to determine whether an applicant for CDBG–DR assistance to repair, replace, or restore personal residential or commercial property failed to obtain and maintain flood insurance. All sharing of data covered by this Agreement from HUD to CDBG–DR grantees will occur in accordance with the terms of this CMA, and all CDBG– DR grantees that request or receive this data will sign the grantee signatory page in Appendix D. FEMA will support HUD by providing data analysis and FEMA assistance data to HUD. Categories of Individuals: DHS/FEMA data in this matching program includes individuals that have applied for or expressed interest in disaster assistance or . HUD data in this matching program concerns individuals who have applied for or received assistance via HUD assistance programs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD is providing this notice in accordance 
with the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended by the 
Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 100-503) 
and the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Amendments of 1990 
(Pub. L. 101-508) (Privacy Act); Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
Final Guidance Interpreting the Provisions of Public Law 100-503, the 
Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, 54 FR 25818 (June 
19, 1989); and OMB Circular A-108, 81 FR 94424 (December 23, 2016).
    To support the prevention of duplication of benefits, HUD will 
request data from DHS FEMA and DHS FIMA on an as-needed basis to share 
with Community Development Block Grant disaster recovery (CDBG-DR) 
grantees, and make changes where HUD deems necessary to avoid 
confusion. CDBG-DR grantees will conduct a DOB review for CDBG-DR 
grant-funded programs and activities. HUD's data request will be based 
on the specific program requirements specified in an approved CDBG-DR 
grantee action plan. CDBG-DR grantees will use FEMA data received 
through HUD to facilitate expedited program implementation while 
preventing the duplication of benefits already received from FEMA. All 
data sharing from HUD to CDBG-DR grantees will occur in accordance with 
agreements between HUD and the CDBG-DR grantees that address 
requirements related to the use and protection of the data.
    Participating Agencies: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban 
Development (HUD), Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency 
Management Agency (DHS-FEMA) Department of Homeland Security, Federal 
Insurance Mitigation Administration (DHS-FIMA), and Community 
Development Block Grant--Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) grantees.
    Authority for Conducting the Matching Program:
    A. Section 12 of the Stafford Act, as amended, at 42 U.S.C. 5155, 
requires each Federal agency that administers any program providing 
financial assistance because of a major disaster or emergency to assure 
that no individual or entity receives duplicate financial assistance 
under any program, from insurance, or through any other source. The 
Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5155(c), requires FEMA or HUD (whichever agency 
provided the duplicative assistance) to recover all duplicative 
assistance from the recipient when the head of such agency considers it 
to be in the best interest of the Federal Government. For CDBG-DR 
grants, HUD does not directly make awards to grantee program 
applicants; however, HUD imposes the requirements of section 312 on 
CDBG-DR grantees. Additionally, appropriations acts that make CDBG-DR 
funds available, including those listed in paragraph II.C.8. of this 
Agreement, require CDBG-DR grantees to have adequate procedures to 
prevent the duplication of benefits. HUD enforces these requirements on 
CDBG-DR grantees using its statutory and regulatory remedies for 
noncompliance in section 111 of title I of the Housing and Community 
Development Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5311) and regulations at 24 CFR part 
570 and 2 CFR part 200.
    B. Section 408(i) of the Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5174(i), directs 
and authorizes FEMA, in carrying out section 408 (Federal Assistance to 
Individuals and Households), to ``develop a system, including an 
electronic database,'' to:
    1. Verify the identity and address of recipients of assistance to 
provide reasonable assurance that payments are made only to an 
individual or household that is eligible for such assistance,
    2. Minimize the risk of making duplicative payments or payments for 
fraudulent claims,
    3. Collect any duplicate payment on a claim or reduce the amount of 
subsequent payments to offset the amount of any such duplicate payment,
    4. Provide instructions to recipients of assistance regarding the 
proper use of any such assistance, regardless of how such assistance is 
distributed, and
    5. Conduct an expedited and simplified review and appeal process 
for an individual or household whose application for assistance is 
denied.
    C. Executive Order 13411, ``Improving Assistance for Disaster 
Victims,'' 71 FR 52729 (August 29, 2006), calls on Federal agencies to 
``reduce unnecessarily duplicative application forms and processes for 
Federal disaster assistance,'' which includes processing benefits 
applications submitted by individuals, businesses, or other entities 
for the same disaster.
    D. The FEMA-008 Disaster Recovery Assistance Files System of 
Records, 87 FR 7852 (February 10, 2022), and the

[[Page 8695]]

FEMA-003 National Flood Insurance Program Files System of Records 
Notice, 79 FR 28747 (May 19, 2014), authorizes FEMA to provide Federal 
agencies with access to FEMA's electronic records of individuals and 
households receiving assistance to make available any additional 
assistance to the affected individuals and households and to prevent 
duplication of benefits.
    1. Pursuant to Routine Use I.1 of the FEMA-008 Disaster Recovery 
Assistance Files System of Records, 87 FR 7852 (February 10, 2022; 
Routine Use I.1), FEMA may disclose applicant information to other 
Federal entities with programs that make available disaster assistance 
to individuals and households, administer a disaster-related program, 
and/or give preference of priority to disaster applicants, including 
those that evacuate from a declared state to another state, and/or to 
prevent a duplication of efforts or benefits.
    2. Pursuant to Routine Use I.2 of the FEMA-008 Disaster Recovery 
Assistance Files System of Records, 87 FR 7852 (February 10, 2022; 
Routine Use I.2), FEMA may disclose applicant information to State, 
Tribal, and Territorial agency programs that make available disaster 
assistance to individuals and households, and/or give preference of 
priority to disaster applicants, including those that evacuate from a 
declared state to another state, and/or to prevent a duplication of 
efforts or benefits.
    3. Pursuant to Routine Use S of the FEMA-008 Disaster Recovery 
Assistance Files System of Records, 87 FR 7852 (February 10, 2022; 
Routine Use S), FEMA may share information with other Federal, State, 
or local government agencies under approved computer-matching programs 
for the purposes articulated in subsection (a)(8)(A) of the Privacy 
Act.
    4. Pursuant to Routine Use I of the FEMA-003 National Flood 
Insurance Program Files System of Records Notice, 79 FR 28747 (May 19, 
2014), FEMA may share National Flood Insurance Program Files with 
Federal, State, local, Tribal, or Territorial government agencies to 
prevent duplication of benefits or to address needs unmet by eligible, 
ineligible, or partially eligible NFIP claims payments.
    5. Pursuant to Routine Use L of the FEMA-003 National Flood 
Insurance Program Files System of Records Notice, 79 FR 28747 (May 19, 
2014), FEMA may share National Flood Insurance Program Files with 
State, local, and Tribal government agencies to ascertain the degree of 
financial burdens they expect to assume in the event of a flooding 
disaster within its jurisdiction.
    E. At times, the President may authorize both emergency sheltering 
and section 408 Federal assistance to individuals and households, 
pursuant to either a major disaster under section 403, at 42 U.S.C. 
5170b, or an emergency under section 502 of the Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 
5192. Essential Assistance, pursuant to section 403(a)(3)(B) of the 
Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5170b, authorizes emergency sheltering, 
including both congregate and non-congregate sheltering, to meet the 
immediate needs of disaster survivors for a major disaster. 
Additionally, Federal assistance where necessary to prevent human 
suffering under section 502(a)(8) authorizes emergency sheltering for 
an emergency.
    F. Essential Assistance pursuant to section 403(a)(3)(B) of the 
Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5170b authorizes FEMA to provide emergency 
sheltering, including non-congregate sheltering to meet the immediate 
needs of disaster survivors. The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 
1996, 31 U.S.C. 3325(d) and 7701(c)(1), requires Federal agencies to 
collect the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) or Social Security 
Number (SSN) of each person who receives payments from the Federal 
Government; and each person doing business with the Federal Government 
is required to furnish his or her TIN.
    6. For the purposes of 31 U.S.C. 7701, a person is doing business 
with the Federal Government if the person is:
    i. A lender or servicer in a Federal guaranteed or insured loan 
program administered by a Federal agency,
    ii. An applicant for, or recipient of, a Federal license permit, 
right-of-way, grant, or benefit payment administered by a Federal 
agency,
    iii. A contractor of a Federal agency,
    iv. Assessed a fine, fee, royalty, or penalty by a Federal agency, 
or
    v. In a relationship with a Federal agency that may give rise to a 
receivable due to that agency such as a partner of a borrower in, or a 
guarantor of, a Federal direct or insured loan administered by the 
Federal agency.
    7. Each Federal agency must inform each person required to disclose 
his or her TIN of the agency's intent to use such number for purposes 
of collecting and reporting on any delinquent amounts arising out of 
such person's relationship with the Federal Government.
    G. HUD's System of Records Notice (SORN) provides individuals with 
notice of HUD's intended uses of information contained within the 
following systems of records:
    1. Inventory Management System, also known as the Public and Indian 
Housing Information Center (IMS/PIC), HUD/PIH.01, 88 FR 17004 (March 
21, 2023),
    2. Enterprise Income Verification (EIV), HUD/PIH-5, 87 FR 50635 
(August 17, 2022), and
    (a) 3.
    (b) Tenant Rental Assistance Certification System (TRACS), HUD/HOU-
11, 88 FR 45234 (July 14, 2023).
    The applicable routine uses for IMS/PIC are Routine Use 10 and 11. 
The applicable routine use for EIV is Routine Use D. The applicable 
routine use for TRACS is Routine Use 13.
    H. The appropriations acts that authorize and appropriate 
supplemental CDBG-DR assistance lay out specific requirements, some of 
which may vary by appropriation. These appropriations acts impose 
requirements related to the (1) prevention of fraud, waste, and abuse, 
(2) order of assistance, and (3) prevention of duplication of benefits 
on HUD or its CDBG-DR grantees, as directed by the applicable act.
    The appropriations acts also require HUD to make allocations based 
on a determination of unmet need in the ``most impacted and distressed 
areas'' resulting from major disasters.
    Legal authority for CDBG-DR assistance is derived from title I of 
the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5301 et 
seq.); subsequent appropriations acts making CDBG-DR assistance 
available; the following prior appropriations acts--

Public Laws 117-328, 117-180, 117-43, 116-20, 115-254, 115-123, 115-56,

CDBG-DR grant assistance including the Updates to Duplication of 
Benefits Requirements Under the Stafford Act for Community Development 
Block Grant (CDBG) Disaster Recovery Grantees at 84 FR 28836 (June 20, 
2019).
    I. The HUD regulation at 24 CFR 982.352(c) prohibits a family from 
receiving the benefit of Section 8 tenant-based assistance under the 
Housing Choice Voucher Program while also receiving the benefit of any 
of the following forms of other housing subsidy for the same or a 
different unit:
    1. Public or Indian housing assistance,
    2. Section 8 assistance (including other tenant-based assistance)

persons with disabilities),
    9. Section 202 projects for non-elderly persons with disabilities 
(Section 162 assistance) authorized by section 162 of the Housing and 
Community Development Act of 1987, 12 U.S.C. 1701a note, amending 
section 202(h) of the Housing Act of 1959, or
    10. Any other duplicative Federal, State, or local housing subsidy, 
as determined by HUD. For this purpose, ``housing subsidy'' does not 
include the housing component of a welfare payment, a Social Security 
payment received by the family, or a rent reduction because of a tax 
credit.
    11. HUD imposes grant agreement terms that implement flood 
insurance requirements such as section 582 of the National Flood 
Insurance Reform Act of 1994, 42 U.S.C. 5154a, and related regulations 
at 24 CFR 58.6(b), that prohibits the use of CDBG-DR grants to make a 
payment to a person for repair, replacement or restoration for flood 
damage to any personal, residential or commercial property if: (1) the 
person had previously received Federal flood disaster assistance 
conditioned on obtaining and maintaining flood insurance; and (2) the 
person failed to obtain and maintain flood insurance.
    Purpose: This Agreement establishes a computer matching program 
between FEMA, HUD, and CDBG-DR grantees identified in Appendix F. FEMA 
and HUD will make efforts to assist disaster survivors with securing 
emergency housing solutions. FEMA, HUD, and CDBG-DR grantees will 
comply with requirements to prevent duplication of benefits between 
FEMA and HUD sources of assistance and CDBG-DR grantees will use FEMA 
data in their CDBG-DR process. The computer matching program will serve 
three purposes, as follows.
    1. To transition HUD housing recipients, whose HUD homes are 
uninhabitable due to a declared disaster or emergency with Individual 
Assistance (IA) authorized, from emergency sheltering or FEMA housing 
assistance back into HUD-assisted housing. FEMA will quickly and 
efficiently match pre-disaster HUD housing program recipients with 
emergency sheltering or housing assistance recipients. Matching allows 
for early coordination between FEMA and HUD regarding HUD clients who 
are receiving emergency sheltering or FEMA housing assistance. The goal 
is to identify HUD housing program recipients participating in FEMA 
programs and return them to HUD housing assistance while also 
preventing duplication of individual benefits.
    2. To allow HUD to develop the funding formulas to request 
additional appropriations from Congress and allocate funding for CDBG-
DR grant awards. Data associated with this Agreement will be used by 
HUD to calculate the amount of HUD's CDBG-DR grants, which are based on 
the number of unmet needs for the disaster. HUD performs a complex 
grants formulation process using Personally Identifiable Information 
(PII) data from FEMA and the Small Business Administration (SBA) to 
generate its CDBG-DR grant allocations and figures estimating unmet 
disaster needs for OMB and Congress.
    CDBG-DR grantees will agree to the terms of this CMA and sign the 
grantee signatory page in Appendix D. HUD will then provide data 
covered by this Agreement to the applicable CDBG-DR grantee so the 
CDBG-DR grantee can start planning and marketing the use of CDBG-DR 
grant funds. This data is not used for the determination of benefits.
    3. To support duplication of benefit checks conducted by CDBG-DR 
grantees for CDBG-DR grant-funded programs and compliance with 
requirements in 42 U.S.C. 5154a and 24 CFR 58.6(b) that prohibit 
assistance for repair, replacement or restoration for flood damage to 
any personal, residential or commercial property in certain cases when 
flood insurance is not obtained and maintained, HUD will request IHP 
and NFIP data from FEMA on an as-needed basis to share with CDBG-DR 
grantees. HUD's data request will be based on the specific program 
requirements specified in a CDBG-DR grantee Action Plan (including 
proposed action plans), such as data for all survivors meeting specific 
criteria related to tenure, geography, and type of FEMA benefit 
receipt. The data will be provided to facilitate expedited program 
implementation while preventing the duplication of benefits already 
received from FEMA. NFIP data will also be used to determine whether an 
applicant for CDBG-DR assistance to repair, replace, or restore 
personal residential or commercial property failed to obtain and 
maintain flood insurance. All sharing of data covered by this Agreement 
from HUD to CDBG-DR grantees will occur in accordance with the terms of 
this CMA, and all CDBG-DR grantees that request or receive this data 
will sign the grantee signatory page in Appendix D. FEMA will support 
HUD by providing data analysis and FEMA assistance data to HUD.
