The Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program (CCP) consists of two grant programs, the Immediate Services Program (ISP) and the Regular Services Program (RSP). The ISP and RSP provide supplemental funding to states and Federally recognized Tribes following a Presidentially declared major disaster under the Stafford Act. These grant programs provide funding for training and services, including community outreach, public education, and counseling techniques. States and Federally recognized Tribes are required to submit an application that provides information on Needs Assessment, Plan of Service, Program Management, and an accompanying Budget.

There has been an increase in the number of Presidentially declared major disasters which have been approved for Crisis Counseling Immediate Services Program and Regular Services Program. This increase in the total number of respondents per year has increased the total number of Annual Burden Hours.
FEMA is also removing the burden hours from all OMB and HHS instruments from this collection, as their burden should be reflected in the collections owned by OMB and HHS.
