Federal Emergency Management 

Agency 

Collection of Overpayments 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This document provides 

notice that the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) has 

terminated the current procedures for 

the recoupment of overpayments of 

disaster assistance made pursuant to 

Section 408 of the Stafford Act, in 

connection with Hurricanes Katrina and 

Rita. Recoupment notices previously 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

51832 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 173 / Friday, September 5, 2008 / Notices 

sent to individual disaster applicants in 

connection with Hurricanes Katrina and 

Rita are hereby withdrawn. FEMA will 

institute new recoupment proceedings 

where warranted on an individual basis 

pursuant to the procedures established 

by regulation for the administrative 

collection of debts. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John 

Quintanilla, Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, Department of 

Homeland Security, Virginia National 

Processing Services Center, P.O. Box 

2297, Winchester, VA 22604, telephone 

(540) 686–3603 (this is not a toll-free 

number). Individuals with speech or 

hearing impairments may access this 

number through TTY by calling the tollfree Federal Information Relay Service 

at 800–877–8339. 

Notice: FEMA provided financial 

disaster assistance to individuals in 

connection with Hurricanes Katrina and 

Rita pursuant to Section 408 of the 

Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5174. Some 

individual disaster applicants received 

assistance for which they were not 

eligible, or received amounts of 

assistance greater than that for which 

they were eligible. In many of those 

instances, FEMA instituted recoupment 

proceedings to recover those 

overpayments. 

FEMA hereby provides notice that the 

recoupment of overpayments of such 

disaster assistance conducted pursuant 

to the former procedures governing 

recoupment, including those set forth at 

44 CFR part 11, are permanently 

terminated. Pursuant to this 

determination, all recoupment notices 

previously sent to individual disaster 

applicants in connection with 

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, as well as 

any subsequent correspondence 

regarding recoupment, are hereby 

withdrawn. This notice does not cancel 

valid debts of disaster applicants from 

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita; it 

terminates the former procedures under 

which FEMA recouped such debts. 

FEMA will reexamine de novo the 

files of individual disaster applicants for 

evidence of overpayment. In instances 

where FEMA determines that 

recoupment is still warranted based on 

such review, FEMA will institute new 

recoupment proceedings pursuant to the 

procedures set forth at 6 CFR part 11 

(adopting general procedures for 

administrative collection of debts set 

forth at 31 CFR parts 900–904), and will 

transmit new recoupment notices 

explaining the rights and obligations of 

persons who are determined to have 

received overpayments. 

Individuals otherwise covered by this 

Notice who have previously entered 

into negotiated or voluntary payment 

plans with FEMA may continue to make 

payments under such plans, or may 

elect to stop making payments. In either 

event, consistent with its generally 

applicable policy, FEMA will reexamine 

de novo such individuals’ files and, 

where appropriate, institute new 

recoupment proceedings as to any 

remaining debt balances pursuant to the 

procedures set forth at 6 CFR part 11. 

Authority 

Legal authority for recoupment is the 

Debt Collection Act of 1982 and the 

Debt Collection Improvement Act of 

1996, 31 U.S.C. 3701 et seq.

comments, of the following collection of 

information on July 2, 2008, 73 FR 

37981. The collection involves air 

carriers maintaining an accounting

the data used for these reports for a sixyear rolling period. 

DATES: Send your comments by October 

6, 2008. A comment to OMB is most 

effective if OMB receives it within 30 

days of publication. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit written comments on 

the proposed information collection to 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget. Comments should be addressed

available at http://www.reginfo.gov. 

Therefore, in preparation for OMB 

review and approval of the following 

information collection, TSA is soliciting 

comments to—

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

information requirement is necessary for 

the proper performance of the functions 

of the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including using 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology.
