Disaster Assistance Registration is a
program used to provide financial assistance and, if necessary,
direct assistance to eligible individuals and households who, as a
direct result of a disaster, have uninsured or under-insured,
necessary expenses and serious needs and are unable to meet such
expenses or needs through other financial means.

The burden for this collection
has since increased. FEMA changed FEMA Form 009-0-5 (and Spanish
version FEMA Form 009-0-6) to better convey the rules and
requirements to applicants who receive manufactured housing units
from FEMA for use as temporary housing. Pursuant to
408(c)(1)(B)(iii) and (iv) of the Stafford Act and in accordance
with 44 CFR 206.110(e) and 206.117(b)(1)(ii)(F), the form now
notifies applicants that when FEMA extends the period of assistance
beyond 18 months, FEMA will charge rent for manufactured housing
use during the extension period. In accordance with 44 CFR
206.117(b)(1)(ii)(G) and (H), the form explains that FEMA may
terminate direct assistance if the applicant fails to comply with
the terms of the license and charge any appropriate fees upon
termination of direct assistance. Therefore, the form notifies
applicants of potential penalty fees if they do not move out by the
end of the assistance period or when their direct
assistance/license has been terminated; and damage fees if the
applicant causes damage to the unit beyond normal wear and tear due
to negligence or violation of the license terms. The form states
that FEMA may repossess the unit upon license revocation or
termination of direct assistance pursuant to 408(c)(1)(B)(iii) of
the Stafford Act, and in accordance with FEMA regulations at 44 CFR
206.117(b)(1)(ii)(G). These changes add approximately 5 minutes
more of burden time (15 minutes total) to respondents but do not
change the total number of estimated annual responses.
