review of an information collection request from the Office of

support disaster survivors during response missions. ACF is requesting
immediate approval for this information collection but also requesting
comments to inform any updates prior to requesting an extension of
approval within six months.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of publication. In compliance with
the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, ACF is
soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information
collection described in this notice. These comments will be considered
prior to requesting an extension of approval.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed collection of information can be
obtained and comments may be submitted by emailing
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#fa93949c95999596969f998e939594ba9b999cd4929289d49d958c"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="ddb4b3bbb2beb2b1b1b8bea9b4b2b39dbcbebbf3b5b5aef3bab2ab">[email protected]</span></a>. Identify all by the title of the
information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: OHSEPR's case managers would use this collection
during an intake assessment to identify a disaster survivor's unmet
needs and to work with the survivor to develop a case management plan
based on the survivor's responses. ACF is requesting that OMB grant a
180-day approval for this request under procedures for expedited
processing, as authorized under 44 U.S.C. 3507 (subsection j). The
information collected is essential to the mission of the agency and an
unanticipated event occurred that could reasonably result in public
harm if normal PRA clearance procedures are followed. ACF is requesting
expedited processing to ensure that the agency is operationally ready
to support disaster survivors in Hawai'i who were impacted by the
wildfires that began August 8, 2023, on Maui County. A request for
review under normal procedures will be submitted within 180 days of the
approval for this request.
