declared a major disaster under the 

authority of the Robert T. Stafford 

Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121–5206 

(the Stafford Act), as follows: 

I have determined that the damage in 

certain areas of the State of Missouri 

resulting from severe winter storms during 

the period of November 30 to December 2, 

2006, is of sufficient severity and magnitude 

to warrant a major disaster declaration under 

the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 

Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121–

5206 (the Stafford Act). Therefore, I declare 

that such a major disaster exists in the State 

of Missouri. 

In order to provide Federal assistance, you 

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds 

available for these purposes such amounts as 

you find necessary for Federal disaster 

assistance and administrative expenses. 

You are authorized to provide Public 

Assistance in the designated area, Hazard 

Mitigation throughout the State, and any 

other forms of assistance under the Stafford 

Act you may deem appropriate. Consistent 

with the requirement that Federal assistance 

be supplemental, any Federal funds provided 

under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance 

and Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75 

percent of the total eligible costs. If Other 

Needs Assistance under Section 408 of the 

Stafford Act is later requested and warranted, 

Federal funding under that program will also 

be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible 

costs. Further, you are authorized to make 

changes to this declaration to the extent 

allowable under the Stafford Act. 

The Federal Emergency Management 

Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice that 

pursuant to the authority vested in the 

Director, under Executive Order 12148,

Department Reauthorization Act of 

2005 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian Housing 

(PIH), HUD. 

ACTION: Notice of information 

collection. 

SUMMARY: The proposed information 

collection requirement described below

review and approval, as required by the 

paperwork Reduction Act. The 

Department is soliciting public 

comments on the subject proposal.

1234 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 6 / Wednesday, January 10, 2007 / Notices 

This is a request for information 

collection that will be used by PHAs 

and owners to request that an 

individual, in response to an incident or 

incidents of actual or threatened 

domestic violence, dating violence or 

stalking that may affect a tenant’s 

participation in the housing program to 

request in writing that an individual 

complete, sign and submit within 14 

business days of the request, a HUDapproved certification form. On the 

form, the individual certifies that he/she 

is a victim of domestic violence, dating 

violence, or stalking, and that the 

incident or incidences in question are 

bona fide incidences of such actual or 

threatened abuse. On the certification 

form, the individual must provide the 

name of the perpetrator. 

PHAs are instructed that the delivery 

of the certification form to the tenant in 

response to incident via mail may place 

the victim at risk, e.g., the abuser may 

monitor the mail; consequently, PHAs, 

owners and managers may require that 

the tenant come into the office to pick 

up the certification form. PHAs and 

owners are also encouraged to work 

with tenants to make delivery 

arrangements that do not place the 

tenant at risk. 

If the individual does not provide the 

certification form or alternate 

documentation that may satisfy the 

certification requirements by the 14th 

business days or after any extension of 

that date provided by the PHA, owner 

or manager, none of the protections 

afforded to the victim of domestic 

violence, dating violence or stalking by 

sections 606 or 607 will apply. The 

PHA, owner or manager would therefore 

be free to evict, or terminate assistance, 

in the circumstances authorized by 

otherwise applicable law and lease 

provisions, without regard to the 

amendments made by section 606 and 

607. 

DATES: Comments due date: March 12, 

2007. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit comments regarding 

this proposal. Comments should refer to 

the proposal by name and should be 

sent to: Aneita Waites, Reports Liaison

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information; (3) enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (4) minimize the
