Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice 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 and other 

Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on a proposed 

new information collection. In 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, this notice seeks 

comments concerning the collection of 

information, which is necessary for 

assessment and improvement of the 

delivery of disaster assistance. The form 

serves as a survey tool used to evaluate 

customer perceptions of effectiveness, 

timeliness and satisfaction with FEMA 

Housing Inspection Services. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

collection is in accordance with 

Executive Order 12862 (September 11, 

1993), that requires all Federal agencies 

to survey customers to determine the 

kind and quality of services they want 

and their level of satisfaction with 

existing services. In addition, the 

Government Performance and Results 

Act (GPRA) requires agencies to set 

missions and goals and measure 

performance against them. FEMA will 

fulfill these requirements, in part, by 

collecting customer service information 

through a survey of the FEMA Recovery 

Division’s external customers. 

Collection of Information 

Title: Federal Emergency Management 

Agency Housing Inspection Services 

Customer Satisfaction Survey. 

Type of Information Collection: New. 

OMB Number: 1660–NW31. 

Form Numbers: FEMA Form 86–26 

(MW), SEP 04. 

Abstract: FEMA Housing Inspection 

Services contracts inspectors to assess 

dwelling damage and verify personal 

information of applicants for FEMA 

disaster assistance in federally declared 

disasters areas. Because FEMA needs to 

evaluate the inspectors’ performance, 

FEMA conducts surveys to measure the 

satisfaction level of the applicants with 

their inspection experience. FEMA 

Inspection Services Managers and Task 

Monitors generally use the survey 

results to gauge and make 

improvements to disaster services that 

increase customer satisfaction and 

program effectiveness. The information 

is shared with Regional staff specific to 

the federal declaration for which the 

survey is conducted. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households.

information, including the validity of

Extension of the Designation of Sudan 

for Temporary Protected Status; 

Automatic Extension of Employment 

Authorization Documentation for 

Sudanese TPS Beneficiaries 

AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of extension of 

temporary protected status designation 

of Sudan. 

SUMMARY: This Notice alerts the public 

that the designation of Sudan for 

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) has 

been extended for 18 months to 

November 2, 2008, from its current 

expiration date of May 2, 2007. This 

Notice also sets forth procedures 

necessary for nationals of Sudan (or 

aliens having no nationality who last 

habitually resided in Sudan) with TPS 

to re-register and to apply for an 

extension of their Employment 

Authorization Documents (EADs) for the 

additional 18-month period. Reregistration is limited to persons who 

have previously registered for TPS 

under the designation of Sudan and 

whose application has been granted or 

remains pending. Certain nationals of 

Sudan (or aliens having no nationality 

who last habitually resided in Sudan) 

who have not previously applied for 

TPS may be eligible to apply under the 

late initial registration provisions. 

Given the timeframes involved with 

processing TPS re-registrants, the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) recognizes that re-registrants may 

not receive a new EAD until after their 

current EAD expires on May 2, 2007. 

Accordingly, this Notice automatically 

extends the validity of EADs issued 

under the TPS designation of Sudan for 

six months, through November 2, 2007, 

and explains how TPS beneficiaries and 

their employers may determine which 

EADs are automatically extended. New 

EADs with the November 2, 2008 

expiration date will be issued to eligible 

TPS beneficiaries who timely re-register 

and apply for an EAD. 

DATES: The extension of the TPS 

designation of Sudan is effective May 3, 

2007, and will remain in effect until 

11:59 p.m. on November 2, 2008. The 

60-day re-registration period begins 

March 8, 2007, and will remain in effect
