SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5207 (Stafford Act),
authorizes grants to assist State, local, and Tribal governments and
certain private non-profit entities with the response to and recovery
from disasters, following Presidentially-declared major disasters and
emergencies. 44 CFR part 206 specifies the information collections
necessary to facilitate the provision of assistance under the Public
Assistance (PA) Program. 44 CFR 206.202 describes the general
application procedures for the PA Program.
This proposed information collection previously published in the
Federal Register on December 14, 2022, at 87 FR 76499 with a 60-day
public comment period. FEMA received twelve public comments and two
instrument requests. Four comments (FEMA-2022-0056-0003, -0004, -0007,
and -0010) were not germane to the collection. Six comments (FEMA-2022-
0056-0002, -0005, -0008, -0009, -0011 and -0012) suggest several edits/
ask questions about the instruments in the collection. FEMA-2022-0056-
0006 wanted assistance in understanding the new concept of the revised
information collection flowchart. FEMA-2022-0056-0013 is inquiring
about how the new instruments will be integrated or potentially replace
the current functions in the Grants Portal. The purpose of this notice
is to notify the public that FEMA will submit the information
collection abstracted below to the Office of Management and Budget for
review and clearance.
