Abstract: Local government may submit an Application for Loan Cancellation through the Governor's authorized representative to the FEMA Regional Administrator prior to the expiration date of the loan. FEMA has the authority to cancel repayment of all or part of a Community Disaster Loan or Special Community Disaster Loan to the extent that a determination is made that revenues of the local government during the three fiscal years following the disaster are insufficient to meet the operating budget of that local government because of disaster related revenue losses.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The increase change in burden hours is due to new loans issued since the last collection update. The number of open CDLs eligible for cancellation during the next three years is 81. This denotes an adjustment to the Annual Burden Hours of 54 hours. FEMA Form 009-0-15, used for cancellation of Community Disaster Loans (CDLs), has been revised for clarity and correction of technical accounting terminology. The analysis to determine qualification for loan cancellation utilizes standard accounting rules, definitions, and terminology set by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and other nationally accredited accounting organizations. Incorrect terminology used on the previous form led to general confusion amongst applicants and reviewing officials, and required loan cancellation analysts to create a 7-page instruction manual attempting to explain how to complete the form. The proposed changes correct the technical accounting terminology. In addition, points of clarification were added by including the total approved loan amount, the promissory note execution date, and fiscal year end dates, which often differ from calendar years. Overall, the proposed changes make the form easier to understand, more informative, and technically correct.
