The forms in this collection are used
to obtain pertinent information to provide financial assistance,
and if necessary, direct assistance to eligible individuals and
households who, as a direct result of a disaster or emergency, have
uninsured or under-insured, necessary or serious expenses they are
unable to meet. This revision of a currently approved information
collection will improve the applicant’s experience with the
disaster assistance registration process by providing a simpler,
more intuitive interface and limiting required responses to those
needed based on their needs. These changes will help rebuild trust
in the Federal Government by promoting transparency of FEMA’s
Disaster Assistance application process.

There is an overall decrease of
52,521 burden hours mainly due to the removal of the Internet
Application for Disaster Assistance (FF-104-FY-21-125 and
FF-104-FY-21-125-A. Decreases were partially offset by
unanticipated return of previously removed instruments. An
additional of 25,129 in burden hours was from the addition of the
Streamline RI flows (Home, Personal Property, Vehicle, Emergency
Needs, Essential Utilities, Funeral, Childcare, Lodging,
Medical/Dental, Misc.). FEMA Forms FF-104-FY-21-123 (formerly

replace the form until the COVID-19 application period ends. The
Internet Application for Disaster Assistance (FF-104-FY-21-125 and
FF-104-FY-21-125-A) which was the hybrid internet application is no
longer in use and has been removed. The Streamline RI public
version replaced this form. There is an overall decrease of

Streamline RI for Funeral Expenses will not replace the form until

COVID assistance was added back in because the registration period
was extended. These hybrid call-centers we have either had to keep
the call centers on to deal with disaster through the transition to
Streamline RI. We did not expect this with the last revision. The
Internet Application for Disaster Assistance (FF-104-FY-21-125 and
FF-104-FY-21-125-A) which was the hybrid internet application is no
longer in use and has been removed. The Streamline RI public
