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.
