Act), 42 U.S.C. 5189d. Under the
Stafford Act, FEMA may provide DCM
services directly to survivors through
financial assistance to STT government
agencies. DCM services include
identifying and addressing disastercaused unmet needs of survivors
through identification of, and referrals
to, available resources. A disastercaused unmet need is an un-resourced
item, support, or assistance that has
been assessed and verified as necessary
for a survivor to recover from a disaster.
This may include food, clothing, shelter,
first aid, emotional and spiritual care,
household items, home repair, or
rebuilding.
When an STT applies for, requests a
modification of, or appeals a FEMA
determination for DCM Federal funding,
the STT will utilize the respective forms
to illustrate the need, why it is beyond
the STT capacity to provide case
management services itself, and how the
STT will provide services to all
populations in need. Additionally, the
STT will be required to use the OMBapproved Standard Form 424 when
applying for Federal funding.
To supplement their request, the STT
will also submit a funding request using
the budget form. The information
gathered within these forms in the
collection tool is used to determine the
STT’s need for DCM Federal funding
and how they anticipate providing
services to survivors.
Once awarded, the STT will use the
monthly reporting collection tool to
provide aggregate data on the services
provided to survivors. The information
gathered within this form helps FEMA
assess the success of the program and
ensure that all survivors in need of
services are able to receive them and
that the case managers are assisting
survivors in finding resources that meet
their disaster-caused unmet needs.
This proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on September 19, 2022, at 87
FR 57214 with a 60 day public comment
period. Two comments were received.
FEMA received two comments related
to the STT DCM Federal Award and
neither of the comments were relevant
to this 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.

Reporting, FF–104–FY–22–208; and
DCM Federal Award Budget Workbook,
FF–104–FY–22–209.
Abstract: This collection tool will
primarily be used as a guide to support
state, tribal, and territorial governments
(STTs) when applying, requesting a
modification, or appealing a FEMA
determination for Disaster Case
Management Federal funding to
supplement and expand their existing
capacity. In extraordinary
circumstances, the STT may request that
FEMA provide an opportunity for a
local government agency or qualified
private organization to apply for the
DCM Federal Award directly. Once
awarded, the STT will utilize the
monthly reporting form to report
aggregate data about the performance of
their program. All information collected
within these forms will be submitted to
FEMA by the STT.
When applying for the STT DCM
Federal award, the STT will respond to
the questions within the application
form, developing an overall assessment
that details activities that have occurred
since the start of the disaster; what
resources and capabilities are currently
available or anticipated to be available;
and the estimated population to be
served. The STT will also outline the
implementation of their program by
detailing their service delivery and work
plans.
If the STT is awarded a STT DCM
Federal award, the STT may need to
modify their initial award. In doing so,
the STT will utilize the Request for
Modification collection instrument to
answer questions that will assist them
in justifying the need to request
additional time or funding to further
support their program implementation.
If the STT chooses to appeal a FEMA
determination, the STT will outline the
purpose for their submission and
provide new, justifying information that
was not included in their initial or
modification request by using the
Request to Appeal collection
instrument.
For each of the three forms mentioned
above, the STT may also need to request
initial or supplemental funding by using
the Budget Workbook. This collection
instrument enables the STT to outline
line items that are necessary to
implement the program, including
personnel, travel, supplies, and
contractual items among others. The

STT can use this workbook to detail the
request at all levels in program
implementation so that it can calculate
the total amount of funding needed.
Once awarded, the STT will report
aggregate data on all aspects of program
implementation, including staffing,
caseloads, survivor/client needs, and
the types of referrals being made, as
well as challenges faced during the
month and best practices/lessons
learned. This information assists FEMA
in confirming the effectiveness of the
program, providing technical assistance
to ensure all survivors are able to
receive DCM services, and to
continuously evolve programmatic
implementation through the collection
of best practices/lessons learned.

Tribal governments.
