This information is necessary to
support the President's priorities and allocations authority under
Title I of the Defense Production Act of 1950 (DPA), as amended (50
U.S.C. 4501, et seq.) as implemented by the Emergency Management
Priorities and Allocations System (EMPAS) regulation (44 CFR part
333) which was added by FEMA’s April xx , 2020 Emergency Management
Priorities and Allocations System Interim Final Rule (RIN
1660-AB04). The purpose of this authority is to ensure the timely
delivery of products, materials, and services to meet current
national defense requirements. The definition of “national defense”
in Section 702(14) of the DPA provides that this term includes
“homeland security,” “emergency preparedness activities” conducted
pursuant to Section 602 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act) (42 U.S.C. 5195a), and
“critical infrastructure protection and restoration.” Contractors
may request Special Priorities Assistance (SPA) when placing rated
orders with suppliers, to obtain timely delivery of products,
materials or services from suppliers, or for any other reason under
the EMPAS, in support of approved national programs. Additionally,
when responding to COVID-19, State and local governments, owners,
operators, and the private sector may request SPA. The Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) FEMA Form 009-0-142 is used to
apply for such assistance. This new collection is being submitted
under the Emergency Process for approval of a valid OMB control
number for a period of 6 months. Additionally, FEMA plans to seek
public comments on the collection through the normal clearance
process.
