more quickly.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act)
(Pub. L. 93–288, as amended) (42 U.S.C.
5121–5207) is the legal basis for FEMA
to provide financial assistance and
services to individuals who apply for
disaster assistance benefits in the event
of a Presidentially-declared disaster.
Housing Assistance is a provision of the
Individuals and Households Program,
authorized by section 408(c) of the
Stafford Act. There are two forms of
assistance: financial and direct.
Financial Housing Assistance refers to
funds provided to eligible applicants for
temporary lodging expenses, rental of
temporary housing, or repair or
replacement of a damaged primary
residence. Direct Temporary Housing
Assistance includes providing
Temporary Housing Units through
Multifamily Lease and Repair and Direct
Lease, or placing transportable
temporary housings, such as
manufactured housing units and
recreational vehicles or travel trailers,
on private, commercial, or group sites.
This program provides financial
assistance and, if necessary, direct
assistance to eligible individuals and
households who, as a direct result of a
major disaster, have necessary expenses
and serious needs that are unable to be
met through other means. Individuals
and households may apply for
assistance through the Registration
Intake process under the Individuals
and Households Program in person, via
telephone, or the internet. FEMA
provides financial assistance under
Other Needs Assistance to individuals
or households affected by a major
disaster to meet disaster-related
medical, dental, funeral, childcare,
personal property, transportation,
moving and storage expenses, and other
necessary expenses or serious needs
resulting from a major disaster under
section 408(e)(1) of the Stafford Act.

The changes to the following forms
support Executive Order 14058,
Transforming Federal Customer
Experience and Service Delivery to
Rebuild Trust in Government (86 FR
71357, December 16, 2021). The changes
will rebuild trust in the Federal
Government by promoting transparency
of FEMA’s Disaster Assistance
application process. The major changes
will decrease the amount of time to
create a new registration and streamline
the application process to create a
simpler registration progression focused
on an individual’s specific recovery
needs. Streamlining breaks the
application process down into specific
workflows in a more user-friendly
format:
FEMA Forms FF–104–FY–21–123
(formerly 009–0–1T, English) and FF–
104–FY–21–123–A (formerly 009–0–1T,
Spanish), Tele-Registration Application
for Disaster Assistance are being
removed due to the addition of the ten
Streamline Registration Intake
workflows. The ten workflows are:
Home Damage, Personal Property
Damage, Vehicle Damage, Emergency
Needs, Essential Utilities Outage,
Funeral Expenses, Childcare Expenses,
Lodging Expenses, Medical or Dental
Expenses, and Expenses for
Miscellaneous items (e.g., chainsaws,
generators, etc.).
FEMA Form FF–104–FY–21–123–FA
(English), Tele-Registration, is being
removed and replaced with FEMA Form
FF–104–FY–22–260, Streamline
Registration Intake for Funeral
Expenses, Disaster Assistance
Registration.
FEMA Forms FF–104–FY–21–123
(formerly 009–0–1T, English) and FF–
104–FY–21–123–A (formerly 009–0–1T,
Spanish), Tele-Registration Application
for Disaster Assistance are being
removed due to the addition of the ten
Streamline Registration Intake flows.
COVID–19 Funeral Assistance will
remain in FEMA Template FT–104–FY–
22–101, Request for Information (RFI)—
Funeral Verification (English) until the
COVID–19 application period ends.
This collection contains the proposed
changes to the disaster application
process that will reduce the time to
apply for IHP assistance. This update
specifically recognizes post launch
usability and the public’s responses to
the changes which will also be nonsubstantive throughout as the updates
are not specifically content driven.
These changes will reduce the burden
on survivors by only requiring them to
answer questions based on the type of
assistance they need.
In documenting all post-registration
callouts, auto-dialer contacts and

PO 00000

Frm 00053

72093

subsequent collection of data, FEMA
can determine whether applicants have
unmet needs, can process the applicant
for financial or direct assistance sharing
the results of those contacts directly
with external stakeholders. This data is
specifically used for FEMA and its
stakeholders to determine whether
assistance is warranted.
The notice also includes FEMA
documenting all post-registration
contacts, including callouts, casework,
and auto-dialers performed for the
purpose of determining whether disaster
assistance applicants have unmet needs
and may be eligible for additional
assistance and/or share the results of
those contacts directly with external
stakeholders, such as state or local
government partners, who can
potentially assist those same applicants
with assistance or services not provided
by FEMA through specific programs
directly targeted to disaster survivors.
This notice specifically recognizes
post launch usability and feedback from
the public. FEMA is seeking the public’s
comments on identifying ways on
making this a more user-friendly
collection and more functional to meet
the end users-applicants’ needs. The
changes in this information collection
will also be non-substantive throughout
as the updates are not specifically
content driven. These changes in the
application process are, however,
designed to not only reduce the burden
on the public but also reduce the
administrative burden through this
modernization update.
