extent permitted by law, must safeguard
and treat information submitted or made
available by FEMA pursuant to this
Arrangement as confidential where the
information has been marked or
identified as ‘‘confidential’’ by FEMA

information private or closely-held. The
Company may not disclose such
confidential information to a third-party
without the express written consent of
FEMA or as otherwise required by law.
2. Other protections. Article XII.C.1
shall not be construed as to limit the
effect of any other requirement on the

relationship between the Company and
the Federal Government is one of a

and appropriately expended. The
Company is a fiscal agent of the Federal
Government, but is not a general agent
of the Federal Government. The
Company is solely responsible for its
obligations to its insured under any
policy issued pursuant hereto, such that
the Federal Government is not a proper
party to any lawsuit arising out of such
policies.

Abstract: This information collection
provides disaster survivors the
opportunity to request approval of late
applications, continued temporary
housing assistance, request advance
disaster assistance, stop payments not
received in order to be reissued funds,
and to appeal program decisions. This
collection also allows for the
establishment of an annual agreement
between FEMA and states, territories,
and tribal governments regarding how
the Other Needs Assistance provision of
IHP will be administered: by FEMA, by
the state, territory, or tribal government,
or jointly. This collection allows
survivors to provide additional
information after the initial disaster
assistance registration period in support
of their applications for assistance from
FEMA’s IHP. If the information in this
collection is not collected, a delay in
assistance provided to disaster survivors
would occur.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; State, local or Tribal
government.

67,859.
Estimated Number of Responses:
112,163.

Under
sections 401 and 501 of the Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act (Stafford Act) (42 U.S.C
5170 and 5190), if a state or Tribe is
impacted by an event of the severity and
magnitude that is beyond its response
capabilities, the state Governor or Chief
Executive may seek a declaration by the
President that a major disaster or
emergency exists. Any major disaster or
emergency request must be submitted
through FEMA, which evaluates the
request and makes a recommendation to
the President about what response
action to take. If the major disaster or
emergency declaration request is
granted, the state or Tribe may be
eligible to receive assistance under 42
U.S.C. 5170a–5170c; 5172–5186; 5189c–
5189d; and 5192. A state or Tribe may
appeal denials of a major disaster or
emergency declaration request for
determinations under section 44 CFR
206.46 and seek an adjustment to the
cost share percentage under section 44
CFR 206.47. FEMA is revising the
currently approved information
collection to account for an update in
the estimates of the number of disaster
declaration requests received each year.
This proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on December 12, 2022, at 87 FR
76067 with a 60-day public comment
period. No comments were received.
This notice also corrects two
typographical errors in the previously
published notice, which listed the
number of respondents as 70 when the
correct number of respondents is 140
and the estimated number of responses
as 120 when the correct number of
responses is 240. 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.
