Abstract: 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.

Emergency Justfication: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) seeks emergency approval for the reinstatement without change of OMB Collection 1660-0002 Disaster Assistance Registration. It is vital this collection be reinstated and implemented by August 28, 2017, because, in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) and the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) implementing regulations at 5 C.F.R. § 1320.13: (1) this information is necessary to the mission of the agency, (2) this information is necessary prior to the expiration of time periods established under PRA, (3) public harm is reasonably likely to result if normal clearance procedures are followed, and (4) an unanticipated event has occurred. Hurricane Harvey is currently impacting Texas and Louisiana and is the first Category 4 hurricane to hit the United States in the past twelve years. The National Weather Service has issued a warning that “Widespread destructive winds of 115 to 145 mph will produce swaths of tornado-like damage” for portions of the Texas coast. In addition, the National Hurricane Center said it expects “catastrophic and life-threatening” flash flooding along the middle and upper Texas coast. An incredible amount of rain, 15 to 30 inches with isolated amounts of up to 40 inches, is predicted because the storm is expected to stall and unload torrents for four to six straight days. As a result, President Trump signed a major disaster declaration for Texas on August 25, 2017, permitting emergency aid to Texas. Without this emergency approval, FEMA will not be able to collect information from disaster survivors who are impacted by the unanticipated category 4 hurricane. FEMA is requesting an emergency approval of this request so that it can accept disaster survivors’ applications as quickly as possible after the hurricane has passed. Delay in approval of these information collections will disrupt FEMA’s ability to comply with other provisions of the law and its overall mission.
