SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: According to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5121 et
seq., FEMA is authorized to provide assistance before, during, and
after a disaster has impacted a State, Tribe, or Territory. For a major
disaster, the Stafford Act authorizes FEMA to direct any agency to
utilize its existing authorities and resources in support of State,
Tribe, and Territory assistance response and recovery efforts. See 42
U.S.C. 5170(a)(1). For an emergency, the Stafford Act authorizes FEMA
to direct any agency to utilize its existing authorities and resources
in support of State and local emergency assistance efforts. See 42
U.S.C. 5192(a)(1). FEMA may task other Federal agencies to assist
during disasters and to support emergency efforts by State and local
governments by issuing a mission assignment to the appropriate agency.
See 44 CFR 206.5, 206.208. FEMA collects the information necessary to
determine what resources are needed and if a mission assignment is
appropriate. The information collected explains which States, Tribes,
or Territories require assistance, what needs to be accomplished,
details any resource shortfalls, and explains what assistance is
required to meet these needs.
Collection of Information
Title: Request for Federal Assistance Form--How to Process Mission
Assignments in Federal Disaster Operations.
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved
information collection.
OMB Number: 1660-0047.
FEMA Form: FEMA Form FF-104-FY-21-120 (formerly 010-0-7), Resource
Request Form.
Abstract: If a State, Tribe, or Territory determines that its
capacity to respond to a disaster exceeds its available resources, it
may submit to FEMA a request that the work be accomplished by a Federal
agency. This request documents how the response requirements exceed the

type of assistance is required. FEMA reviews this information and may
issue a mission assignment to the appropriate Federal agency to assist
the State in its response to the situation.
