Pub.L. 106 - 390 408 Name of Law: Robert T Stafford Disaster
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act
US Code: 44
USC 206 Name of Law: Federal Disaster Assistance for Disasters
Declared on or after November 23 1988
Disaster activity can fluctuate
from year to year, to include the type of peril in which the
disaster was declared (i.e., tornado, flood, hurricane, etc.), the
magnitude of the population and area affected, and affected
population rate of insurance coverage; which thus causes a
fluctuation in the average number of disaster applicants that seek
assistance from FEMA. There has been no increase in the burden
hours for the data collection instruments. Some data collection
instruments (i.e., Request for Approval of Late Registration;
Request for Continued Assistance, FEMA Form 010-0-12; Solicitud
para Continuar la Asistencia de Vivienda Temporera, FEMA Form
010-0-12S; and Appeal for Program Decision) saw a decrease in the
total number of respondents. Data collection instruments (i.e.,
Request for Continued Assistance, FEMA Form 010-0-12; Solicitud
para Continuar la Asistencia de Vivienda Temporera, FEMA Form
010-0-12S) have been updated to provide better instructions to the
public regarding the completion of the forms and the necessity of
the supporting documentation. As stated above, these minor changes
have not increased the burden hours for the data collection
instruments.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
