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 

Register at 75 FR 74071, mistakenly 

announcing the revision of the Form I– 

601. The 60-day notice should have 

announced that USCIS was requesting 

comments on extending the use of the 

Form I–601. This notice corrects that 

error. However, during this 60 day 

period, USCIS will be evaluating 

whether to revise the Form I–601. 

Should USCIS decide to revise Form I– 

601 we will advise the public when we 

publish the 30-day notice in the Federal 

Register in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act. The public 

will then have 30 days to comment on 

any revisions to the Form I–601.

Security, U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services will be submitting 

the following information collection 

request for review and clearance in

collection is published to obtain 

comments from the public and affected 

agencies. Comments are encouraged and 

will be accepted for sixty days until

Written comments and suggestions 

from the public and affected agencies 

concerning the collection of information 

should address one or more of the 

following four points: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility;

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses.
