SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This information is necessary to support the
President's priorities and allocations authority under title I of the

Allocations System (EMPAS) regulation (44 CFR part 333) which was added
by FEMA's Emergency Management Priorities and Allocations System
Interim Final Rule (RIN 1660-AB04) dated May 13, 2020. The purpose of
this authority is to ensure the timely delivery of products, materials,

restoration.''
