SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 416 of the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, (Pub. L. 93-288, as
amended and codified at 42 U.S.C. 5183) (``Act''), authorizes the
President to provide professional counseling services, including
financial assistance to States (which includes the fifty states, the
District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories), Federally recognized
Indian Tribal governments, local agencies or private mental health
organizations for professional counseling services, to survivors of
major disasters to relieve mental health problems caused or aggravated
by a major disaster or its aftermath. The implementing regulations for
Section 416 of the Stafford Act are at 44 CFR 206.171. Under 44 CFR
206.171 and by agreement, the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services-Center for Mental Health Services (HHS-CMHS), which has
expertise in crisis counseling, coordinates with FEMA in administering
the Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program (CCP). FEMA and
HHS-CMHS provide program oversight, technical assistance, and training
to States and Federally recognized Tribes applying for CCP funding for
major disasters.
FEMA is proposing to revise the collection by rewording the sub-
question from question 8 on the Crisis Counseling Assistance and
Training Program (CCP), Immediate Services Program (ISP) Application,
FEMA Form FF-104-FY-21-148 (formerly 003-0-1) and from question 12 on
the Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program, Regular Services
Program (RSP) Application, FEMA Form FF-104-FY-21-149 (formerly 003-0-
2). The rewording of these sub-questions will allow for greater
transparency of plans to ensure accessibility to all eligible
survivors.
