FEDERAL EMERGENCY

MANAGEMENT AGENCY

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 efforts to reduce

paperwork and respondent burden,

invites the general public and other

Federal agencies to take this

opportunity to comment on proposed

revised 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 use a

new form title Small Business Claim

Notice and Proof of Loss (Cerro Grande

Fire Assistance Act. The form will

impact small businesses and other small

entities; however, the impact of this

collection will not be disproportionate

to the impact on the general public.

FEMA has established customer service

offices and has provided business

claims specialists to minimize the

impact by assisting small business in

completing the form. FEMA is

requesting emergency processing

approval of this collection, under the

provisions of OMB regulation 5 CFR

1320.13, for 180 days, effective on or

before July 5, 2001. A final OMB

clearance package will be submitted to

OMB for a long-term approval before the

end of the assigned expiration date.

Supplementary Information: The

Cerro Grande fire destroyed and

damaged parts of Los Alamos and

surrounding communities in May 2000.

The Federal Government took

responsibility for the Cerro Grande fire

and enacted legislation known as the

Cerro Grande Fire Assistance Act,

Public Law 106-246 to compensate

victims of the fire. Section 104(f) of the

Act requires the Director, FEMA

promulgate regulations for processing

and paying claims under the Act.

Subsections 104(b), (c), and (d) of the

Act require that FEMA establish a

process to receive, investigate, evaluate,

determine and settle claims against the

United States by victims of the Cerro

Grande fire. FEMA’s regulations to

implement the Act is published at 44

CFR part 295, Disaster Assistance; Cerro

Grande Fire Assistance; Final Rule

(Federal Register Volume 66, Number

55, dated Wednesday, March 21, 2001,

pages 15948–15966). The Small

Business Claim Notice and Proof of Loss

form is the only form that will be used

for small business-loss claims to carry

out the purposes of the Act.

Collection of Information

Title: Small Business Claim Notice

and Proof of Loss.

Type of Information Collection: New

collection.

Abstract: The form requests basic

information identifying claimant(s) and

describing their business loses in order

to ascertain a claimant’s eligibility for

Cerro Grande fire claims assistance. The

information is intended to be the only

step for a business claimant who seeks

compensation of $10,000 or less under

the Cerro Grande Fire Assistance Act. It

will be used by FEMA and other Federal

agencies to determine whether a

claimant has made the election of

remedies—the CGFAA, the Federal Tort

Claims Act, or a civil action authorized

by any other law, and to track claims

from the date received until the date of

final payment. It will also be used to

determine eligibility for compensation,

evaluate the claim, and make payment.

30190 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 108 / Tuesday, June 5, 2001 / Notices

FEMA and contractors will be able to

cross check against insurance

subrogation claims and other payments

and settlements to prevent duplication

of benefits. The claimant’s statements

are made under penalty or perjury and

subject claimants to the provisions of 18

U.S.C. section 1001 relating to false

statements.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit and not-for-profit institutions.

Number of Respondents: 1,250

annually.

Estimated Hour Burden Per Response:

30 minutes.

Estimated Total Annual Burden

Hours. 625 hours.

Estimated Annual Cost To

Respondents. We have estimated that

the annualized cost to respondents for

the hour burdens will be approximately

$100 per respondent, on average. FEMA

has offset this burden for most claimants

by allowing claimants who successfully

complete the process to an award to

receive an additional 5% of their

compensation, with a minimum of $100

to a maximum or $500 on this type of

small business claim, for claims

compensation expenses. Claimants who

do not complete the claims process or

who do not receive any compensation

will not receive the claims preparation

fee.

COMMENTS: Written comments are

solicited to (a) evalute 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 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 submission of

responses. Send written comments to

OMB within [insert date 30 days from

the date of publication] of this notice.
