Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request; Disaster 

Assistance Registration 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, Department of 

Homeland Security. 

ACTION: 60-Day notice of revision and 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA), as part of 

its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

invites the general public to take this 

opportunity to comment on a revision of 

a currently approved information 

collection. In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this 

notice seeks comments concerning 

changes to modernize and simplify the 

disaster assistance registration. The 

changes will reduce the burden on 

survivors by only requiring them to 

answer questions based on the type of 

assistance they need. This will also 

reduce the amount of time it takes for 

survivors to apply either online, or 

through a call center, therefore allowing 

call center agents to assist survivors 

more quickly. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before December 18, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: To avoid duplicate 

submissions to the docket, please 

submit comments at 

www.regulations.gov under Docket ID 

FEMA–2023–0028. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

All submissions received must 

include the agency name and Docket ID. 

Regardless of the method used for 

submitting comments or material, all 

submissions will be posted, without 

change, to the Federal eRulemaking

submitting this information makes it 

public. You may wish to read the

Specialist, FEMA, Recovery Directorate

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 

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.

Abstract: 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. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households.
