recovery phases of a disaster. Prior to the renewal process, the Office
of Human Services Emergency Preparedness and Response (OHSEPR) revised
the generic disaster information collection form approved under this
generic: Services for Planning Emergency Action and Response Form (this

Planning Emergency Action and Response Form can be used as-is or
tailored for a specific use by an ACF office or program. Each tailored
form is submitted as an individual request under the umbrella generic.
The Services for Planning Emergency Action and Response Form has
been tailored for each of the five following ACF offices or programs:
The Children's Bureau, the Office of Family Violence Prevention and
Services, the Office of Child Care, the Office of Head Start, and the
Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) Program. It is possible that more
program offices may request approval of a tailored version in the
future.
The requested information is submitted by ACF award recipients,
which includes states, tribes, and nongovernmental organizations.
