Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 57 / Tuesday, March 25, 1997 / Notices 14141

WYO company per monthly report, to

satisfy all requirements in the Financial

Control Plan and WYO Accounting

Procedures Manual. The 33-minute

burden estimate is based on manual

posting of company data onto these

reports. Total annual burden for this

request is 792 hours.

Frequency of Reporting: Monthly.

Estimated Cost: Actual ‘‘cost’’ of the

WYO program to the government is

difficult to assess because, were it not

for the WYO companies, the

government would incur operating

expenses, agent’s commission expenses

and loss adjustment expense in

connection with the policies issued by

the WYO company. The annualized cost

of the report in question to the Federal

government and to the respondents is

negligible.

COMMENTS: Written comments are

solicited to (a) evaluate whether the

proposed data collection is necessary for

the proper performance of the agency,

including whether the information shall

have practical utility; (b) 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;

(c) enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and (d) minimize the burden

of 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 submission of

responses. Comments should be

received within 60 days from the date

of this notice.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons should

submit written comments to Muriel B.

Agency Information Collection

Activities: Proposed Collection;

Comment Request

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 proposed

continuing information collections. In

accordance with the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.

3506(c)(2)(A)), this notice seeks

comments concerning FEMA’s request

for personal financial data from its

individual debtors.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under

FEMA’s debt collection regulations, 44

CFR § 11.36(b), FEMA Debt Collection

Officers (DCO’s) are required to

maintain current credit data on FEMA’s

debtors including, but not limited to,

the individual debtor’s own financial

statement, executed under penalty for

false claim, concerning his/her assets

and liabilities and his/her income and

expenses. FEMA Form 22–13, Debt

Collection Financial Statement, collects

such data directly from the individual

debtor. FEMA DCO’s use these data for

collecting debts due the United States

and arising from operations of FEMA

programs. DCO’s also use these data to

determine debtor’s ability to pay debts

due FEMA, to locate debtor’s assets, and

for skip-tracing purposes.

Collection of Information

Title: Debt Collection Financial

Statement.

Type of Information Collection:

Extension.

OMB Number: 3067–0122.

Form Number. FEMA Form 22–13,

Debt Collection Financial Statement.

Abstract: FEMA may request of

individuals who are debtors to provide

personal financial information on FEMA

Form 22–13 concerning their current

financial position. This information

includes debtors’ home and

employment addresses, names of spouse

(if any), any children, their ages,

amounts and sources of the debtors’ and

spouses’ (if any) salaries, stocks, bonds

and other securities, real and personal

property owned and bank accounts and

names of creditors and amounts owed to

these creditors.

With this information, FEMA DCO’s

can evaluate whether to allow debtors to

pay the FEMA debts under installment

repayment agreements and, if so, under

what terms and amounts. FEMA DCO’s

also use these data to determine

whether FEMA should suspend or

terminate collection efforts or

compromise the respondent’s debts.

These data also are used for skip-tracing

missing debtors and for location of

debtors’ assets if the debts are to be

judicially enforced.

Providing information on FEMA Form

22–13 is voluntary on the part of the

debtor. However, if the debtor does not

provide the information requested by

FEMA, the FEMA DCO may use more

severe collection methods.

Affected Public: Persons who owe

debts to the United States under

programs administered by FEMA and

who wish to either (1) enter into

installment repayment agreements with

FEMA, or (2) have their FEMA debts

compromised, suspended or terminated

under the provisions of 44 CFR §§ 11.50

and 11.51.

Estimated Total Annual Burden

Hours: 3,000.

Estimated Cost: None to the debtor

since he/she is retrieving information

from memory or from the debtor’s own,

readily available, personal records.

COMMENTS: Written comments are

solicited to (a) evaluate whether the

proposed data collection is necessary for

the proper performance of the agency,

including whether the information shall

have practical utility; (b) 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;

(c) enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and (d) minimize the burden

of 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 submission of

responses. Comments should be

received by [insert 60 days from the date

of publication of this notice].
