implementation of hazard mitigation 

measures and related activities that 

reduce or eliminate long-term risk to 

people and property from hazards and 

their effects. 

The National Flood Insurance Act of 

1968 (‘‘NFIA’’), as amended, and the 

Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as 

amended (42 U.S.C. 4001, et. seq.) 

authorize FEMA’s National Flood 

Insurance Program (NFIP), including a 

wide range of related activities. For 

instance, the NFIA authorizes FEMA to 

provide financial assistance for 

planning and carrying out projects and 

activities designed to reduce the risk of 

flood damage to NFIP-insured 

structures. 

FEMA routinely receives additional 

guidance from Congress, through new 

legislation, and the President, through 

Executive Orders, that requires changes 

to previously approved collection 

instruments in a few months to provide 

timely assistance to survivors. FEMA is 

proposing moving instruments from 

currently approved information 

collections into this new generic 

information collection to provide the 

necessary flexibility to update 

individual existing instruments and 

create new instruments as new guidance 

from Congress and the President is 

received, deliver timely assistance to 

survivors (both before and after a 

disaster), and maintain compliance with 

the Paperwork Reduction Act.

declared major disasters and 

emergencies, and the implementation of 

hazard mitigation measures and related 

activities that reduce or eliminate longterm risk to people and property from 

hazards and their effects. The

website (https://www.dhs.gov/uflpaentity-list) and also publish the revised 

UFLPA Entity List as an appendix to a 

Federal Register notice. 

Background 

A. The Forced Labor Enforcement Task 

Force 

Section 741 of the United StatesMexico-Canada Agreement 

Implementation Act established the 

FLETF to monitor United States 

enforcement of the prohibition under 

section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 1307). See 19 U.S.C. 

4681. Pursuant to DHS Delegation Order 

No. 23034, the DHS Under Secretary for 

Strategy, Policy, and Plans serves as 

Chair of the FLETF, an interagency task 

force that includes the Department of 

Homeland Security, the Office of the 

U.S. Trade Representative, and the 

Departments of Labor, State, Justice, the 

Treasury, and Commerce (member 

agencies).1 See 19 U.S.C. 4681; 

Executive Order 13923 (May 15, 2020). 

In addition, the FLETF includes six 

observer agencies: the Departments of 

Energy and Agriculture, the U.S. Agency 

for International Development, the 

National Security Council, U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection, and U.S. 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement 

Homeland Security Investigations. 

B. The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention 

Act: Preventing Goods Made With 

Forced Labor in the People’s Republic of 

China From Being Imported Into the 

United States 

The UFLPA requires, among other 

things, that the FLETF, in consultation 

with the Secretary of Commerce and the 

Director of National Intelligence, 

develop a strategy (UFLPA Section 2(c)) 

for supporting enforcement of section 

307 of the Tariff Act of 1930, to prevent 

the importation into the United States of 

goods, wares, articles, and merchandise 

mined, produced, or manufactured 

wholly or in part with forced labor in 

the People’s Republic of China. As 

required by the UFLPA, the Strategy to 

Prevent the Importation of Goods 

Mined, Produced, or Manufactured with 

Forced Labor in the People’s Republic of 

China, which was published on the DHS 

website on June 17, 2022 (see https://

www.dhs.gov/uflpa-strategy), includes 

the initial UFLPA Entity List, a 

consolidated register of the four lists 

required to be developed and 

maintained pursuant to the UFLPA. See 

UFLPA Section 2(d)(2)(B). 

C. UFLPA Entity List 

The UFLPA Entity List addresses 

distinct requirements set forth in 

clauses (i), (ii), (iv), and (v) of Section 

2(d)(2)(B) of the UFLPA that the FLETF 

identify and publish the following four 

lists: 

(1) a list of entities in the Xinjiang 

Uyghur Autonomous Region that mine, 

produce, or manufacture wholly or in 

part any goods, wares, articles, and 

merchandise with forced labor; 

(2) a list of entities working with the 

government of the Xinjiang Uyghur 

Autonomous Region to recruit, 

transport, transfer, harbor or receive 

forced labor or Uyghurs, Kazakhs, 

Kyrgyz, or members of other persecuted 

groups out of the Xinjiang Uyghur 

Autonomous Region; 

(3) a list of entities that exported 

products made by entities in lists 1 and 

2 from the People’s Republic of China 

into the United States; and 

(4) a list of facilities and entities, 

including the Xinjiang Production and 

Construction Corps, that source material 

from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous 

Region or from persons working with 

the government of the Xinjiang Uyghur 

Autonomous Region or the Xinjiang 

Production and Construction Corps for 

purposes of the ‘‘poverty alleviation’’ 

program or the ‘‘pairing-assistance’’ 

program or any other government-labor 

scheme that uses forced labor. 

The UFLPA Entity List is a 

consolidated register of the above four 

lists. In accordance with Section 3(e) of 

the UFLPA, effective June 21, 2022, 

entities on the UFLPA Entity List (listed 

entities) are subject to the UFLPA’s 

rebuttable presumption, and products 

they produce, wholly or in part, are 

prohibited from entry into the United 

States under 19 U.S.C. 1307. The 

UFLPA Entity List is described in 

Appendix 1 to this notice. The UFLPA 

Entity List should not be interpreted as 

an exhaustive list of entities engaged in 

the practices described in clauses (i), 

(ii), (iv), or (v) of Section 2(d)(2)(B) of 

the UFLPA. 

Revisions to the UFLPA Entity List, 

including all additions, removals, and 

technical corrections, will be published 

on the DHS UFLPA website (https://

www.dhs.gov/uflpa-entity-list) and as an 

Appendix to a notice that will be 

published in the Federal Register. See 

Appendix 1. The FLETF will consider 

future additions to, or removals from, 

the UFLPA Entity List based on criteria 

described in clauses (i), (ii), (iv), or (v) 

of Section 2(d)(2)(B) of the UFLPA. Any 

FLETF member agency may submit a 

recommendation(s) to add, remove or 

make technical corrections to an entry 

on the UFLPA Entity List. FLETF 

member agencies will review and vote 

on revisions to the UFLPA Entity List 

accordingly. 

Additions to the Entity List 

The FLETF will consider future 

additions to the UFLPA Entity List 

based on the criteria described in 

clauses (i), (ii), (iv), or (v) of Section 

2(d)(2)(B) of the UFLPA. Any FLETF 

member agency may submit a 

recommendation to the FLETF Chair to 

add an entity to the UFLPA Entity List. 

Following review of the 

recommendation by the FLETF member 

agencies, the decision to add an entity 

to the UFLPA Entity List will be made 

by majority vote of the FLETF member 

agencies. 

Requests for Removal From the Entity 

List 

Any listed entity may submit a 

request for removal (removal request) 

from the UFLPA Entity List along with 

supporting information to the FLETF 

Chair at FLETF.UFLPA.EntityList@

hq.dhs.gov. In the removal request, the 

entity (or its designated representative) 

should provide information that 

demonstrates that the entity no longer 

meets or does not meet the criteria 

described in the applicable clause ((i), 

(ii), (iv), or (v)) of Section 2(d)(B) of the 

UFLPA. The FLETF Chair will refer all 

such removal requests and supporting 

information to FLETF member agencies. 

Upon receipt of the removal request, the 

FLETF Chair or the Chair’s designated 

representative may contact the entity on 

behalf of the FLETF regarding questions 

on the removal request and may request 

additional information. Following 

review of the removal request by the 

FLETF member agencies, the decision to 

remove an entity from the UFLPA Entity 

List will be made by majority vote of the 

FLETF member agencies. 

Listed entities may request a meeting 

with the FLETF after submitting a 

removal request in writing to the FLETF 

Chair at FLETF.UFLPA.EntityList@

hq.dhs.gov. Following its review of a 

removal request, the FLETF may accept 

the meeting request at the conclusion of 

the review period and, if accepted, will 

hold the meeting prior to voting on the 

entity’s removal request. The FLETF 

Chair will advise the entity in writing of 

the FLETF’s decision on its removal

FLETF will consider new removal 

requests if accompanied by new 

information.
