This
proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on March 14, 2018 at 83 FR
11222 with a 60-day public comment
period. FEMA received 10 comments.
Only one comment is related to the
information collection, and states,
‘‘Whereas the abstract states, ‘FEMA
proposes conducting qualitative
research in the form of focus groups in
order to test creative concepts
developed for FEMA’s national Ready
public service advertising (PSA)
campaign, which aims to educate and
empower Americans to prepare for and
respond to emergencies. The research
will help determine the clarity,
relevance, and motivating appeal of the
concepts prior to final production of the
advertising.’ It does not state research
will include the effectiveness of the
PSA. Clearly it is difficult for metrics to
be measured because they are not an
exact science, and there is no way to
measure success. What can be measured
are ‘results’. Therefore PSAs should be
written with the level of creativity
where they generate results, then results
or the effectiveness of the PSA can be
measured. With no means of
measurement stated in the abstract, it
seems like determining if there is actual
‘qualitative testing’ will not be
captured.’’ The proposed research is a
qualitative research approach; the
objective of the focus groups is to
facilitate discussion around the creative
PSA product developed and to identify
patterns in response to determine
whether the creative concepts are
relevant to the intended audience,
deliver the message clearly, and have
potential to motivate behavior change.
This data collection is not intended to
measure whether the final produced
campaign is impactful in-market; other
methods, such as a survey of the
campaign audience, are planned to
evaluate the impact of the campaign and
will be a separate data collection. The
purpose of this notice is to notify the
public that FEMA will submit the
information collection abstracted below
to the Office of Management and Budget
for review and clearance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

issued a major disaster declaration
under the authority of the Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.
(the ‘‘Stafford Act’’), as follows:
SUMMARY:

I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of Hawaii resulting
from Hurricane Lane during the period of
August 22 to August 29, 2018, is of sufficient
severity and magnitude to warrant a major
disaster declaration under the Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the
‘‘Stafford Act’’). Therefore, I declare that such
a major disaster exists in the State of Hawaii.
In order to provide Federal assistance, you
are hereby authorized to allocate from funds
available for these purposes such amounts as
you find necessary for Federal disaster
assistance and administrative expenses.
You are authorized to provide Public
Assistance in the designated areas and
Hazard Mitigation throughout the State.
Consistent with the requirement that Federal
assistance be supplemental, any Federal
funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75
percent of the total eligible costs. Federal
funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Public Assistance also will be limited to 75
percent of the total eligible costs, with the
exception of projects that meet the eligibility
criteria for a higher Federal cost-sharing
percentage under the Public Assistance
Alternative Procedures Pilot Program for
Debris Removal implemented pursuant to
section 428 of the Stafford Act.
Further, you are authorized to make
changes to this declaration for the approved
assistance to the extent allowable under the
Stafford Act.
