II. Background 

The NDHTF CONOPS explains the 

Federal Government’s normal disaster 

housing support role in operational 

terms, along with the Federal 

Government’s responsibility to maintain 

readiness to assume a greater role in 

housing disaster survivors when 

required. It conveys national guidance, 

operating principles, and a vision for 

public (Federal, State, Tribal, local), and 

individual coordination. It defines the 

roles, programs, authorities, and 

responsibilities of all entities, 

emphasizing the cooperative efforts 

required for disaster survivors and 

affected communities to recover from a 

disaster. Additionally, the CONOPS 

outlines the national activities that will 

be pursued in moving toward 

accomplishing the goals of the Strategy. 

Implementing the Strategy strengthens 

the Nation’s collective capability and 

resolve to fulfill all partner 

responsibilities to the American people 

in times of disaster or emergency, 

regardless of cause, scope, or 

complexity. The CONOPS describes 

how the NDHTF intends to connect 

critical programs, based in a wide 

variety of Federal agency authorities, to 

produce a unified effort. 

Congress mandated that FEMA create 

the Strategy in the Post-Katrina 

Emergency Management Reform Act of 

2006, Public Law 109–295. The 

Strategy, published in January 2009 and 

available at http://www.regulations.gov 

under docket ID FEMA–2008–0009, 

frames the full range of options that 

unified disaster housing efforts should 

consider to better meet the needs of 

disaster survivors and affected 

communities. The Strategy calls for the 

establishment of the NDHTF to provide 

a full-time, multi-agency focus on 

disaster housing related issues, to 

elevate the significance of disaster 

housing preparedness in all 

jurisdictions, and to oversee 

implementation of the Strategy. 

Additionally, the Strategy sets the goal 

of the NDHTF to create this CONOPS 

through a collaborative process among 

the various local, State, Tribal, and 

Federal partners, nongovernmental 

organizations, and the private sector to 

meet the needs of all disaster survivors.

On November 30, 2010, USCIS 

published a 60-day notice in the Federal

announced that USCIS was requesting

error. However, during this 60 day 

period, USCIS will be evaluating 

whether to revise the Form I–601.

601 we will advise the public when we 

publish the 30-day notice in the Federal

will then have 30 days to comment on 

any revisions to the Form I–601.
