SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (Pub. L. 93-288) (the Stafford Act), as
amended, 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 Federally-declared disaster. Regulations in Title 44
of the Code of Federal Regulations, Subpart D, ``Federal Assistance to
Individuals and Households,'' implement the policy and procedures set
forth in section 408 of the Stafford Act. 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 (Registration Intake) under the Individuals and Households
Program (IHP) in person, via telephone, or internet. FEMA provides
financial assistance under the Other Needs Assistance provision of the
IHP to individuals or households affected by a major disaster to meet
disaster-related funeral expenses under Section 408(e)(1) of the Robert
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford
Act), Public Law 93-288, as amended.
Historically, the agency has utilized a combination of public and
commercial validation of ownership and or occupancy, which impacts
eligibility for Housing Assistance and some forms of Other Needs
Assistance. This update applies to the proposed expansion of the
acceptable documentation applicants can submit to FEMA to verify the
occupancy and/or ownership of their primary residence and establish
eligibility for disaster assistance.
This proposed information collection previously published in the
Federal Register on November 5, 2021, at 86 FR 61283 with a 60-day
public comment period. No comments were received. The purpose of this
notice is to notify the public that FEMA will submit the information
collection abstracted below
[[Page 9635]]
to the Office of Management and Budget for review and clearance.
