Abstract: This information collection provides disaster survivors
the opportunity to request approval of late applications, continued
temporary housing assistance, request advance disaster assistance, stop
payments not received in order to be reissued funds, and to appeal
program decisions. This collection also allows for the establishment of
an annual agreement between FEMA and states, territories, and tribal
governments regarding how the Other Needs Assistance provision of IHP
will be administered: by FEMA, by the state, territory, or tribal
government, or jointly. This collection allows survivors to provide
additional information after the initial disaster assistance
registration period in support of their applications for assistance
from FEMA's IHP. If the information in this collection is not
collected, a delay in assistance provided to disaster survivors would
occur.

government.
