awards of DHS financial assistance only 

submit one completed form for their 

organization, not per award. Recipient 

are required to complete the form once 

every two years if they have an active 

award, not every time a grant is 

awarded. Entities whose award does not 

run a full two years are required to 

provide the information again if they 

receive a subsequent award more than 

two (2) years after the prior award. In 

responding to Section 4: Required 

Information, which contains the bulk of 

the information collection, if the 

recipient’s responses have not changed 

in the two-year period since their initial 

submission, the recipient does not need 

to resubmit the information. Instead, the 

recipient will indicate ‘‘no change’’ for 

each applicable item. 

The purpose of the information 

collection is to advise recipients of their 

civil rights obligations and collect 

pertinent civil rights information to 

ascertain if the recipient has in place 

adequate policies and procedures to 

achieve compliance, and to determine 

what, if any, further action may be 

needed (technical assistance, training, 

compliance review, etc.) to ensure the 

recipient is able to meet its civil rights 

requirements and will carry out its 

programs and activities in a 

nondiscriminatory manner. 

Over the past three years, DHS has 

used the information collected via the 

DHS Civil Rights Evaluation Tool to 

identify gaps and deficiencies in 

recipient programs and directly help 

recipients address these gaps and 

deficiencies by providing technical 

assistance on developing or improving 

policies and procedures to prevent 

discrimination and ensure accessibility. 

DHS is transitioning the submission 

process from an email-based system to 

a new online portal platform. The portal 

will streamline and improve the 

submission process by allowing 

recipients to view the requirements 

contained in the form, report civil rights 

complaint and lawsuit data in a 

standardized chart, upload responsive 

documents and supporting information, 

and access technical assistance 

templates and other resources all in one 

space. DHS anticipates that records or 

files that will be used to respond to the 

information collection are already 

maintained in electronic format by the 

recipient, so providing the information 

electronically further minimizes 

administrative burden. 

When fully deployed, recipients will 

also be able to view and update contact 

information, the status of their 

submission with DHS, and submission 

due dates. If the recipient is unable to 

submit their information electronically, 

alternative arrangements will be made 

to submit responses in hard copy. 

The information collection will 

impact some small entities (e.g., nonprofit service providers, local fire 

departments, etc.); however, recipients 

will only be required to provide this 

information once every two years, not 

every time a grant is awarded. 

Additionally, in responding to Section 

4: Required Information, if the 

recipient’s responses have not changed 

in the two-year period since their initial 

submission, the recipient does not need 

to resubmit the information. This will 

dramatically reduce the administrative 

burden on recipients after the initial 

submission. Additionally, DHS will 

further minimize burden on recipients 

by making available sample policies, 

procedures, and templates to assist 

recipients in completing Section 4 of the 

Form, and providing technical 

assistance directly to the recipient as 

needed. 

In accordance with the authorities 

identified above, the Department is 

required to obtain a signed assurance of 

compliance from recipients and to 

ensure that its federally assisted 

programs and activities are 

administered in a nondiscriminatory 

manner. If the information collection is 

not conducted or is conducted less 

frequently, the Department will not be 

able to fulfill its obligations to ascertain 

recipient compliance and enforce 

nondiscrimination in recipient 

programs. This could lead to the award 

of Federal financial assistance to 

recipients that are not complying with 

Federal civil rights law, and the 

perpetuation of discrimination in the 

provision of benefits and services to 

members of the public. 

There are no confidentiality 

assurances associated with this 

collection. The only privacy-sensitive 

information the form collects are the 

names of Point of Contacts from 

recipient organizations. Coverage for the 

collection of this information is 

provided under a Department Privacy 

Impact Assessment, DHS/ALL/PIA–006 

General Contacts List. 

DHS is seeking a revision of the 

collection for another three-year period, 

proposing changes to Section 1 

Instructions, Section 2 Organization 

Information and Section 5 Additional 

Information. The changes to Sections 1, 

2, and 5 do not impact the burden 

analysis for the collection. The changes 

in burden reflect the increase in the 

number of entities that are required to 

respond to the collection (as a result of 

increased Department grantmaking), 

increase in hourly wage rates as 

reported by BLS in the 2022 National 

Occupational Employment and Wage 

Estimates, increase in hourly wage rates 

for Federal staff as reported by Office of 

Personnel Management for 2023, 

increases in the number of staff 

supporting the program, and 

development of an online portal to 

streamline and modernize the 

submission process. Lastly, DHS is 

changing the name of the collection 

from ‘‘DHS Civil Rights Compliance 

Form’’ to ‘‘DHS Civil Rights Evaluation 

Tool.’’ 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

which: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed 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 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD is 

providing this notice in accordance with 

the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), 

as amended by the Computer Matching 

and Privacy Protection Act of 1988 (Pub. 

L. 100–503) and the Computer Matching 

and Privacy Protection Amendments of 

1990 (Pub. L. 101–508) (Privacy Act);

To support the prevention of 

duplication of benefits, HUD will 

request data from DHS FEMA and DHS 

FIMA on an as-needed basis to share 

with Community Development Block 

Grant disaster recovery (CDBG–DR) 

grantees, and make changes where HUD 

deems necessary to avoid confusion. 

CDBG–DR grantees will conduct a DOB 

review for CDBG–DR grant-funded 

programs and activities. HUD’s data 

request will be based on the specific 

program requirements specified in an 

approved CDBG–DR grantee action plan. 

CDBG–DR grantees will use FEMA data 

received through HUD to facilitate 

expedited program implementation 

while preventing the duplication of 

benefits already received from FEMA. 

All data sharing from HUD to CDBG–DR 

grantees will occur in accordance with 

agreements between HUD and the 

CDBG–DR grantees that address 

requirements related to the use and 

protection of the data. 

Participating Agencies: U.S. 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development (HUD), Department of 

Homeland Security, Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (DHS–FEMA) 

Department of Homeland Security, 

Federal Insurance Mitigation 

Administration (DHS–FIMA), and 

Community Development Block Grant— 

Disaster Recovery (CDBG–DR) grantees. 

Authority for Conducting the 

Matching Program: 

A. Section 12 of the Stafford Act, as 

amended, at 42 U.S.C. 5155, requires 

each Federal agency that administers 

any program providing financial 

assistance because of a major disaster or 

emergency to assure that no individual 

or entity receives duplicate financial 

assistance under any program, from 

insurance, or through any other source. 

The Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5155(c), 

requires FEMA or HUD (whichever 

agency provided the duplicative 

assistance) to recover all duplicative 

assistance from the recipient when the 

head of such agency considers it to be 

in the best interest of the Federal 

Government. For CDBG–DR grants, HUD 

does not directly make awards to 

grantee program applicants; however, 

HUD imposes the requirements of 

section 312 on CDBG–DR grantees. 

Additionally, appropriations acts that 

make CDBG–DR funds available, 

including those listed in paragraph 

II.C.8. of this Agreement, require CDBG– 

DR grantees to have adequate 

procedures to prevent the duplication of 

benefits. HUD enforces these 

requirements on CDBG–DR grantees 

using its statutory and regulatory 

remedies for noncompliance in section 

111 of title I of the Housing and 

Community Development Act of 1974 

(42 U.S.C. 5311) and regulations at 24 

CFR part 570 and 2 CFR part 200. 

B. Section 408(i) of the Stafford Act, 

42 U.S.C. 5174(i), directs and authorizes 

FEMA, in carrying out section 408 

(Federal Assistance to Individuals and 

Households), to ‘‘develop a system, 

including an electronic database,’’ to: 

1. Verify the identity and address of 

recipients of assistance to provide 

reasonable assurance that payments are 

made only to an individual or 

household that is eligible for such 

assistance, 

2. Minimize the risk of making 

duplicative payments or payments for 

fraudulent claims, 

3. Collect any duplicate payment on 

a claim or reduce the amount of 

subsequent payments to offset the 

amount of any such duplicate payment, 

4. Provide instructions to recipients of 

assistance regarding the proper use of 

any such assistance, regardless of how 

such assistance is distributed, and 

5. Conduct an expedited and 

simplified review and appeal process 

for an individual or household whose 

application for assistance is denied. 

C. Executive Order 13411, ‘‘Improving 

Assistance for Disaster Victims,’’ 71 FR 

52729 (August 29, 2006), calls on 

Federal agencies to ‘‘reduce 

unnecessarily duplicative application 

forms and processes for Federal disaster 

assistance,’’ which includes processing 

benefits applications submitted by 

individuals, businesses, or other entities 

for the same disaster. 

D. The FEMA–008 Disaster Recovery 

Assistance Files System of Records, 87

FEMA–003 National Flood Insurance 

Program Files System of Records Notice, 

79 FR 28747 (May 19, 2014), authorizes 

FEMA to provide Federal agencies with 

access to FEMA’s electronic records of 

individuals and households receiving 

assistance to make available any 

additional assistance to the affected 

individuals and households and to 

prevent duplication of benefits. 

1. Pursuant to Routine Use I.1 of the 

FEMA–008 Disaster Recovery 

Assistance Files System of Records, 87 

FR 7852 (February 10, 2022; Routine 

Use I.1), FEMA may disclose applicant 

information to other Federal entities 

with programs that make available 

disaster assistance to individuals and 

households, administer a disasterrelated program, and/or give preference 

of priority to disaster applicants, 

including those that evacuate from a 

declared state to another state, and/or to 

prevent a duplication of efforts or 

benefits. 

2. Pursuant to Routine Use I.2 of the 

FEMA–008 Disaster Recovery 

Assistance Files System of Records, 87 

FR 7852 (February 10, 2022; Routine 

Use I.2), FEMA may disclose applicant 

information to State, Tribal, and 

Territorial agency programs that make 

available disaster assistance to 

individuals and households, and/or give 

preference of priority to disaster 

applicants, including those that 

evacuate from a declared state to 

another state, and/or to prevent a 

duplication of efforts or benefits. 

3. Pursuant to Routine Use S of the 

FEMA–008 Disaster Recovery 

Assistance Files System of Records, 87 

FR 7852 (February 10, 2022; Routine 

Use S), FEMA may share information 

with other Federal, State, or local 

government agencies under approved 

computer-matching programs for the 

purposes articulated in subsection 

(a)(8)(A) of the Privacy Act. 

4. Pursuant to Routine Use I of the 

FEMA–003 National Flood Insurance 

Program Files System of Records Notice, 

79 FR 28747 (May 19, 2014), FEMA may 

share National Flood Insurance Program 

Files with Federal, State, local, Tribal, 

or Territorial government agencies to 

prevent duplication of benefits or to 

address needs unmet by eligible, 

ineligible, or partially eligible NFIP 

claims payments. 

5. Pursuant to Routine Use L of the 

FEMA–003 National Flood Insurance 

Program Files System of Records Notice, 

79 FR 28747 (May 19, 2014), FEMA may 

share National Flood Insurance Program 

Files with State, local, and Tribal 

government agencies to ascertain the 

degree of financial burdens they expect 

to assume in the event of a flooding 

disaster within its jurisdiction. 

E. At times, the President may 

authorize both emergency sheltering 

and section 408 Federal assistance to 

individuals and households, pursuant to 

either a major disaster under section 

403, at 42 U.S.C. 5170b, or an 

emergency under section 502 of the 

Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5192. Essential 

Assistance, pursuant to section 

403(a)(3)(B) of the Stafford Act, 42 

U.S.C. 5170b, authorizes emergency 

sheltering, including both congregate 

and non-congregate sheltering, to meet 

the immediate needs of disaster 

survivors for a major disaster. 

Additionally, Federal assistance where 

necessary to prevent human suffering 

under section 502(a)(8) authorizes 

emergency sheltering for an emergency. 

F. Essential Assistance pursuant to 

section 403(a)(3)(B) of the Stafford Act, 

42 U.S.C. 5170b authorizes FEMA to 

provide emergency sheltering, including 

non-congregate sheltering to meet the 

immediate needs of disaster survivors. 

The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 

1996, 31 U.S.C. 3325(d) and 7701(c)(1), 

requires Federal agencies to collect the 

Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) 

or Social Security Number (SSN) of each 

person who receives payments from the 

Federal Government; and each person 

doing business with the Federal 

Government is required to furnish his or 

her TIN. 

6. For the purposes of 31 U.S.C. 7701, 

a person is doing business with the 

Federal Government if the person is: 

i. A lender or servicer in a Federal 

guaranteed or insured loan program 

administered by a Federal agency, 

ii. An applicant for, or recipient of, a 

Federal license permit, right-of-way, 

grant, or benefit payment administered 

by a Federal agency, 

iii. A contractor of a Federal agency, 

iv. Assessed a fine, fee, royalty, or 

penalty by a Federal agency, or 

v. In a relationship with a Federal 

agency that may give rise to a receivable 

due to that agency such as a partner of 

a borrower in, or a guarantor of, a 

Federal direct or insured loan 

administered by the Federal agency. 

7. Each Federal agency must inform 

each person required to disclose his or 

her TIN of the agency’s intent to use 

such number for purposes of collecting 

and reporting on any delinquent 

amounts arising out of such person’s 

relationship with the Federal 

Government. 

G. HUD’s System of Records Notice 

(SORN) provides individuals with 

notice of HUD’s intended uses of 

information contained within the 

following systems of records: 

1. Inventory Management System, 

also known as the Public and Indian 

Housing Information Center (IMS/PIC), 

HUD/PIH.01, 88 FR 17004 (March 21, 

2023), 

2. Enterprise Income Verification 

(EIV), HUD/PIH–5, 87 FR 50635 (August 

17, 2022), and 

(a) 3. 

(b) Tenant Rental Assistance 

Certification System (TRACS), HUD/ 

HOU–11, 88 FR 45234 (July 14, 2023). 

The applicable routine uses for IMS/ 

PIC are Routine Use 10 and 11. The 

applicable routine use for EIV is Routine 

Use D. The applicable routine use for 

TRACS is Routine Use 13. 

H. The appropriations acts that 

authorize and appropriate supplemental 

CDBG–DR assistance lay out specific 

requirements, some of which may vary 

by appropriation. These appropriations 

acts impose requirements related to the 

(1) prevention of fraud, waste, and 

abuse, (2) order of assistance, and (3) 

prevention of duplication of benefits on 

HUD or its CDBG–DR grantees, as 

directed by the applicable act. 

The appropriations acts also require 

HUD to make allocations based on a 

determination of unmet need in the 

‘‘most impacted and distressed areas’’ 

resulting from major disasters. 

Legal authority for CDBG–DR 

assistance is derived from title I of the 

Housing and Community Development 

Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.); 

subsequent appropriations acts making 

CDBG–DR assistance available; the 

following prior appropriations acts—

6. Tenant-based assistance under the 

HOME Investment Partnerships Program 

(HOME) authorized by Title II of the 

Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable 

Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. 12701 et seq., 

7. Rental assistance payments under 

section 521 of the Housing Act of 1949, 

42 U.S.C. 1441 et seq. (a program of the 

Rural Development Administration), 

8. Any local or State rent subsidy, 

9. Section 202 of the Housing Act of 

1959, 12 U.S.C. 1701q, as amended 

(Section 202 supportive housing for the 

elderly), 

8. Section 811 of the CranstonGonzalez National Affordable Housing 

Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 8013 

(Section 811 supportive housing for

persons with disabilities (Section 162 

assistance) authorized by section 162 of 

the Housing and Community 

Development Act of 1987, 12 U.S.C. 

1701a note, amending section 202(h) of 

the Housing Act of 1959, or 

10. Any other duplicative Federal, 

State, or local housing subsidy, as 

determined by HUD. For this purpose, 

‘‘housing subsidy’’ does not include the 

housing component of a welfare 

payment, a Social Security payment 

received by the family, or a rent 

reduction because of a tax credit. 

11. HUD imposes grant agreement 

terms that implement flood insurance 

requirements such as section 582 of the 

National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 

1994, 42 U.S.C. 5154a, and related 

regulations at 24 CFR 58.6(b), that 

prohibits the use of CDBG–DR grants to 

make a payment to a person for repair, 

replacement or restoration for flood 

damage to any personal, residential or 

commercial property if: (1) the person 

had previously received Federal flood 

disaster assistance conditioned on 

obtaining and maintaining flood 

insurance; and (2) the person failed to 

obtain and maintain flood insurance. 

Purpose: This Agreement establishes a 

computer matching program between 

FEMA, HUD, and CDBG–DR grantees 

identified in Appendix F. FEMA and 

HUD will make efforts to assist disaster 

survivors with securing emergency 

housing solutions. FEMA, HUD, and 

CDBG–DR grantees will comply with 

requirements to prevent duplication of 

benefits between FEMA and HUD 

sources of assistance and CDBG–DR 

grantees will use FEMA data in their 

CDBG–DR process. The computer 

matching program will serve three 

purposes, as follows. 

1. To transition HUD housing 

recipients, whose HUD homes are 

uninhabitable due to a declared disaster 

or emergency with Individual 

Assistance (IA) authorized, from 

emergency sheltering or FEMA housing 

assistance back into HUD-assisted 

housing. FEMA will quickly and 

efficiently match pre-disaster HUD 

housing program recipients with 

emergency sheltering or housing 

assistance recipients. Matching allows 

for early coordination between FEMA 

and HUD regarding HUD clients who 

are receiving emergency sheltering or 

FEMA housing assistance. The goal is to 

identify HUD housing program 

recipients participating in FEMA 

programs and return them to HUD 

housing assistance while also 

preventing duplication of individual 

benefits. 

2. To allow HUD to develop the 

funding formulas to request additional 

appropriations from Congress and 

allocate funding for CDBG–DR grant 

awards. Data associated with this 

Agreement will be used by HUD to 

calculate the amount of HUD’s CDBG– 

DR grants, which are based on the 

number of unmet needs for the disaster. 

HUD performs a complex grants 

formulation process using Personally 

Identifiable Information (PII) data from 

FEMA and the Small Business 

Administration (SBA) to generate its 

CDBG–DR grant allocations and figures 

estimating unmet disaster needs for 

OMB and Congress. 

CDBG–DR grantees will agree to the 

terms of this CMA and sign the grantee 

signatory page in Appendix D. HUD will 

then provide data covered by this 

Agreement to the applicable CDBG–DR 

grantee so the CDBG–DR grantee can 

start planning and marketing the use of 

CDBG–DR grant funds. This data is not 

used for the determination of benefits. 

3. To support duplication of benefit 

checks conducted by CDBG–DR grantees 

for CDBG–DR grant-funded programs 

and compliance with requirements in 42 

U.S.C. 5154a and 24 CFR 58.6(b) that 

prohibit assistance for repair, 

replacement or restoration for flood 

damage to any personal, residential or 

commercial property in certain cases 

when flood insurance is not obtained 

and maintained, HUD will request IHP 

and NFIP data from FEMA on an asneeded basis to share with CDBG–DR 

grantees. HUD’s data request will be 

based on the specific program 

requirements specified in a CDBG–DR 

grantee Action Plan (including proposed 

action plans), such as data for all 

survivors meeting specific criteria 

related to tenure, geography, and type of 

FEMA benefit receipt. The data will be 

provided to facilitate expedited program 

implementation while preventing the 

duplication of benefits already received 

from FEMA. NFIP data will also be used 

to determine whether an applicant for 

CDBG–DR assistance to repair, replace, 

or restore personal residential or 

commercial property failed to obtain 

and maintain flood insurance. All 

sharing of data covered by this 

Agreement from HUD to CDBG–DR 

grantees will occur in accordance with 

the terms of this CMA, and all CDBG– 

DR grantees that request or receive this 

data will sign the grantee signatory page 

in Appendix D. FEMA will support 

HUD by providing data analysis and 

FEMA assistance data to HUD.

To support the prevention and 

detection of duplication of benefits, 

HUD will request data from FEMA on 

an as-needed basis to share with 

Community Development Block Grant 

disaster recovery (CDBG–DR) grantees, 

and the grantees will use the data to 

detect and prevent the duplication of 

benefits. CDBG–DR grantees will 

conduct a duplication of benefits review 

for CDBG–DR grant-funded programs 

and activities. HUD’s data request will 

be based on the specific program 

requirements specified in an approved 

CDBG–DR grantee action plan. CDBG– 

DR grantees will use FEMA data 

received through HUD to facilitate 

expedited program implementation 

while preventing the duplication of 

benefits already received from FEMA. 

All data sharing from HUD to CDBG–DR 

grantees will occur in accordance with 

agreements between HUD and the 

CDBG–DR grantees that address 

requirements related to the use and 

protection of the data. 

Participating Agencies: U.S.

Pennsylvania, the State of New York, 

the State of Oregon, and the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. 

Authority for Conducting the 

Matching Program: 

A. Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief 

and Emergency Assistance Act (as 

amended at 42 U.S.C. 5155(a) et seq.) 

(Stafford Act), section 312, which 

requires each Federal agency that 

administers any program providing 

financial assistance because of a major 

disaster or emergency to assure that no 

individual or entity receives duplicate 

financial assistance under any program, 

from insurance, or through any other 

source. The Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 

5155(c), requires FEMA or HUD 

(whichever agency provided the 

duplicative assistance) to recover all 

duplicative assistance from the recipient 

when the head of such agency considers 

it to be in the best interest of the Federal 

Government. 

B. Section 408(i) of the Stafford Act, 

42 U.S.C. 5174(i), directs and authorizes 

FEMA, in carrying out section 408 

(Federal Assistance to Individuals and 

Households), to ‘‘develop a system, 

including an electronic database,’’ to: (a) 

Verify the identity and address of 

recipients of assistance to provide 

reasonable assurance that payments are
