Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request; Federal
Assistance to Individuals and

Federal Emergency
Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: 30-Day notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) will
submit the information collection
abstracted below to the Office of
Management and Budget for review and
clearance in accordance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The submission
will describe the nature of the
information collection, the categories of
respondents, the estimated burden (i.e.,
the time, effort and resources used by
respondents to respond) and cost, and
the actual data collection instruments
FEMA will use.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before June 22, 2020.

Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/

information collection by selecting

Requests for additional information or

should be made to Director, Information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on March 11, 2020 at 85 FR
14212 with a 60-day public comment
period. FEMA received three comments
from the public.
Comment 1: The commenter
suggested that FEMA could minimize
the burden for veterans with disabilities
by having their patient advocates or
service organizations asking if they have
any unmet needs. Additionally, the
commenter suggested that when a
disability hinders someone’s ability to
understand things and when those
serious needs have continued to not be
met can deteriorate a service member’s
mental health dramatically. Finally the
commenter stated that when service
members need to apply to many
different organizations and ask for help
only to be advised to contact someone
else without help can be very
discouraging. Rather, a simple phone
call from someone that has access to
important information and the ability to
help that person can really help. FEMA
has initiated interrelated projects to
increase the communication of the
needs of registrants with disabilities
across our programs and better support
the needs of survivors with disabilities.
Recognizing the need for more effective
and actionable disability-related
questions in the Registration Intake form
(covered in OMB collection 1660–0002,
Disaster Assistance Registration), FEMA
is in the process of submitting a revision
to OMB collection 1660–0002 to add a
specific reasonable accommodation
question, and an additional question
capturing disability-related losses. The
reasonable accommodation question
will ask registrants to indicate if they
have a disability-related need to access
FEMA’s programs and services. FEMA’s
ADDRESSES:

E:\FR\FM\22MYN1.SGM

22MYN1

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 100 / Friday, May 22, 2020 / Notices
Individual Assistance (IA) Program and
Office of Equal Rights (OER) are
working to develop a written procedure
to arrange for any accommodation/
modification, and to develop training
documents/curricula for all FEMA
personnel involved in providing
accommodations to disaster survivors.
The Federal Register Notice for 1660–
0002 which outlines the reasonable
accommodation question addition
should be posted in the near future for
public comment.
The reasonable accommodation
question was developed through
collaboration between the FEMA Office
of Disability Integration and
Coordination (ODIC), the FEMA OER,
the FEMA IA Program, the FEMA Office
of External Affairs, and other relevant
offices within FEMA. In addition to
these offices, ODIC sought input from
the National Council on Disability
(NCD) to validate the language included
in the question. NCD is an independent
Federal agency charged with advising
the President, Congress, and other
Federal agencies regarding policies,
programs, practices, and procedures that
affect people with disabilities.
With the addition of the reasonable
accommodation question in the
registration intake form, FEMA will be
better able to identify and assist
applicants with completing the forms
included in 1660–0061 (request for late
application review, submitting appeals,
completing the Authorization for the
Release of Information form, requesting
advance disaster assistance, and stop
payment requests).
In addition, the policies regarding
how and why FEMA can share
applicant information are not in place to
make it harder for veterans and others
with disabilities to receive the help they
need, but to protect them from fraud
and identity theft by ensuring only
those who have appropriate consent
from the applicant can access their
information. FEMA generally
communicates directly with each
applicant throughout the IHP process to
gather information, inform them of their
eligibility for assistance, refer them to
other sources of assistance, and guide
them on the proper use of IHP funds.
FEMA also generally communicates
directly with each applicant to protect
their private information. The Privacy
Act of 1974 regulates how FEMA
collects, uses, and discloses an
applicant’s personal information in
order to protect the privacy of the
applicant, and requires FEMA to obtain
written consent from the applicant in
order to share their disaster assistance
records with a third party. For example,
FEMA employees and contractors will

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001

always verify an applicant’s identity
before discussing eligibility or potential
assistance. After verifying their identity
with FEMA, the applicant can also give
verbal permission for FEMA to speak
with a third party regarding their case
via the FEMA Helpline.
FEMA may share applicant
information outside FEMA with entities
such as States, territorial, Tribal, and
local governments, voluntary
organizations, and other organizations
in accordance with published routine
uses identified in DHS/FEMA–008
Disaster Recovery Assistance Files
System of Records Notice. FEMA shares
this information to enable the applicant
to receive additional disaster assistance,
prevent a duplication of benefits, and
prevent future disaster losses.
Comment 2: The second comment
was not a germane comment.
Comment 3: The commenter
suggested that it should be made clear
whether the Coronavirus pandemic falls
within the bounds of a declared disaster
or emergency which justifies provision
of FEMA assistance of the type
discussed after a disaster or emergency
to aid in housing, food sources, medical
needs, and other forms of aid provided
by FEMA after an earthquake or
hurricane, which should also be
available to those families and persons
needing assistance during the
coronavirus emergency. At this time, the
only declaration provided for Individual
Assistance for COVID–19 is specific to
Crisis Counseling. The Individuals and
Households Program has not been
authorized; therefore, FEMA is not
accepting disaster assistance
registrations for COVID–19 at this time
and is not providing assistance under
the Individuals and Households
Program.
News Release HQ–20–091 dated April
9, 2020 on FEMA.gov about rent
suspension is only in regard to disaster
survivors who were already receiving
temporary housing from FEMA in
FEMA-provided Temporary Housing
Units. For further information regarding
FEMA’s response to COVID–19, please
visit https://www.fema.gov/coronavirus.
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.

Further, you are authorized to make
