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

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);

(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.

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

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.

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.);

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

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.

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

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 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)
under
[[Page 8696]]
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 Cranston-Gonzalez 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 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.
