SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Community Disaster Loan (CDL) 

Program is authorized by Section 417 of 

the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief 

and Emergency Assistance Act, Public 

Law 93–288, as amended, and provides 

loans to any local government which 

has suffered a substantial loss of tax or 

other revenues as a result of a major 

disaster or emergency and which 

demonstrates a need for Federal 

financial assistance in order to perform 

its governmental functions. FEMA 

regulations at 44 CFR 206.360–206.367 

contain the procedures and 

requirements that implement the 

statutory authority for this program. 

The title (Formerly titled Application 

for Community Disaster Loan (CDL) and 

the Special Community Disaster Loan 

(SCDL) Program) previously reported in 

the 60-Day Federal Register Notice (73 

FR 76370, Dec. 16, 2008) has been 

changed because the Special 

Community Disaster Loan (SCDL) 

Program was only authorized to provide 

loans to communities affected by 

Hurricanes Katrina and/or Rita. The 

application period for that program 

closed at the end of fiscal year 2006 

(October 1, 2006). Because FEMA is no 

longer accepting applications for the 

SCDL Program, it has been removed 

from this collection. 

Collection of Information 

Title: Application for Community 

Disaster Loan (CDL) Program. 

Type of information collection: 

Revision of a currently approved 

collection. 

OMB Number: 1660–0083.

Resolution Collateral Security, FEMA

Application for Community Disaster 

Loan. These form numbers previously 

reported in the 60-Day Federal Register 

Notice (73 FR 76370, Dec. 16, 2008) 

have been changed in accordance with 

the Federal Enterprise Architecture 

(FEA) numbering system. FEMA Form 

090–0–2 (Former FEMA Form 90–7), 

Application for Community Disaster 

Loan was inadvertently not included in 

the 60-Day Federal Register Notice 

mentioned above and has since been 

added to this collection. 

Abstract: The Loan Package for the 

Community Disaster Loan Program 

provides States, Local and Tribal 

governments that have suffered 

substantial loss of tax or other revenues 

as a result of a major disaster or 

emergency, the opportunity to obtain 

financial assistance in order to perform 

their governmental functions. Local 

governments can submit a loan package 

for the Community Disaster Loan 

Program. This loan must be justified on 

the basis of need and actual expenses. 

Affected Public: ‘‘State, Local, or 

Tribal Government’’. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

50. 

Frequency of Response: Once. 

Estimated Average Hour Burden per 

Respondent: 19.5 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 975. The estimated total annual 

burden hours previously reported in the 

60-day Federal Register Notice (73 FR 

76370, Dec. 16, 2008) has been 

increased. 

Estimated Cost: The estimated total 

annual respondent administrative cost 

based on wage rate categories is 

$44,892.32. The estimated total annual 

respondent administrative cost based on 

wage rate categories previously reported 

in the 60-day Federal Register Notice 

(73 FR 76370, Dec. 16, 2008) has been 

increased. There are no capital 

expenditure costs associated with this 

collection.
