SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Debt Collection Act as amended (31 
U.S.C. 3701, et seq.), the Federal Claims Collection Standards (31 CFR 
parts 900 through 904), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 
regulations (6 CFR part 11), the Administrator of the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency (FEMA) is: (1) required to attempt collection of all 
debts owed to the United States arising out of activities of FEMA; and 
(2) for debts not exceeding $100,000, authorized to compromise such 
debts or terminate collection action completely where it appears that 
no person is liable for such debt or has the present or prospective 
financial ability to pay a significant sum or that the cost of 
collecting such debt is likely to exceed the amount of the recovery (31 
U.S.C. 3711(a)(2)). This information collection expired on June 30, 
2025. FEMA is requesting an extension, without change, of a previously 
approved information collection for which approval has expired.
