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 (STT). For a
major disaster, the Stafford Act authorizes FEMA to direct any agency
to utilize its existing authorities and resources in support of STT
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 STT
emergency 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 STT 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 STT requires assistance, what needs to be accomplished, details
any resource shortfalls, and explains what assistance is required to
meet these needs.
This proposed information collection previously published in the
Federal Register on February 28, 2024, at 89 FR 14673 with a 60-day
public comment period. No comments were received. 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.
The notice FEMA published at 89 FR 14673 published erroneous totals
for the Estimated Number of Respondents, Estimated Number of Responses,
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours, Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Cost, and Estimated Respondents' Operation and Maintenance Costs due to
the clerical error of not including one instrument in the calculations
for the totals. The burden and cost numbers for that instrument is
included in the totals published in this notice.
