ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

The Federal Emergency
Management Agency, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, invites the
general public to take this opportunity
to comment on a revision of a currently
approved information collection. In

Reduction Act of 1995, this notice seeks
comments concerning information
collected for the Public Assistance (PA)
program eligibility determinations,
grants management, and compliance
with Federal laws and regulations.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before January 13, 2020.
ADDRESSES: To avoid duplicate
submissions to the docket, please use
only one of the following means to
submit comments:
(1) Online. Submit comments at
www.regulations.gov under Docket ID
FEMA–2019–0025. Follow the

The
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C.
5121–5207 (the Stafford Act), authorizes
grants to assist State, Tribal, and local
governments and certain Private NonProfit entities with the response to and
recovery from disasters following
Presidentially declared major disasters
and emergencies. 44 CFR part 206
specifies the information collections
necessary to facilitate the provision of
assistance under the Public Assistance
(PA) Program. 44 CFR 206.202 describes
the general application procedures for
the PA Program.
FEMA is seeking a revision to the
already existing collection of
information, OMB Control Number
1660–0017, because FEMA proposes
changing the title from ‘‘Request for
Appeals and Recommendation/No
Forms’’ to ‘‘Request for Appeals or
Arbitrations and Recommendations/No
Forms.’’ Section 1219 of the Disaster
Recovery Reform Act of 2018, which
amended Section 423(d) of the Stafford
Act (42 U.S.C. 5189a), provides a right
of arbitration to certain applicants of the
PA Program that have a dispute
concerning the eligibility for assistance
or repayment of assistance. Plus, the
annual cost to the Federal Government
is increasing from $805,311.96 to
$1,891,473. Finally, there has been a
change in the annual burden hours due
to a correction of errors in burden
estimates. For example, in the past,
FEMA incorrectly used 1.3 hours to
represent 1.5 hours for FEMA Form
009–0–91.

attributes capable of assessing risks and
facilitating data sharing. To support this
mission need, the DHS CISA ISD has
developed a data collection system that
contains several capabilities which
support the homeland security mission
in the area of critical infrastructure (CI)
protection.
Protective Security Advisors (PSAs)
and Cyber Security Advisors (CSAs)
conduct voluntary assessments on CI
facilities. These assessments are webbased and are used to collect an
organization’s basic, high-level
information, and its dependencies. This
data is then used to determine a
Protective Measures Index (PMI) and a
Resilience Measures Index (RMI) for the
assessed organization. This information
allows an organization to see how it
compares to other organizations within
the same sector as well as allows them
to see how adjusting certain aspects
would change their score. This allows
the organization to then determine
where best to allocate funding and
perform other high-level decisionmaking processes pertaining to the
security and resiliency of the
organization.
The information will be gathered by
site visits, arranged between the
organization owners and DHS PSAs or
CSAs. The PSA or CSA will then visit
the site and perform the assessment, as
requested. They then return to complete
the vulnerability assessment and input
the data into the system where the data
is then accessible to system users. Once
available, the organization and other
relevant system users can then review
the data and use it for planning, risk
identification, mitigation and decision
making. All data is captured
electronically by the PSA, CSA or by the
organization as a self-assessment.
Participation in the vulnerability
assessments is voluntary, but full
completion of the assessment data
collection is required if the organization
desires to receive a complete evaluation
of their security posture.
After assessments are input into the
system, the user is prompted to
participate in a feedback questionnaire.
Every user is prompted to participate in
the Post Assessment questionnaire after
entering an assessment. Participation in
the Post Assessment questionnaire is
voluntary. The Post Assessment
Questionnaires are designed to capture
feedback about a vulnerability
assessment and the system. There are
three different questionnaires correlated
and prompted after entering a particular
assessment into the database. The
results are used internally within DHS
to make programmatic improvements.
