43036 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 13, 2017 / Notices 

Type of Information Collection: 

Extension, without change, of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

OMB Number: 1660–0130. 

FEMA Forms: None. 

Abstract: The information collection 

activity will garner qualitative customer 

and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with the 

Administration’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. This 

feedback will provide insights into 

customer or stakeholder perceptions, 

experiences and expectations, provide 

an early warning of issues with service, 

or focus attention on areas where 

communication, training or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. These collections 

will allow for ongoing, collaborative and 

actionable communications between the 

Agency and its customers and 

stakeholders. It will also allow feedback 

to contribute directly to the 

improvement of program management. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance will provide useful 

information, but it will not yield data 

that can be generalized to the overall 

population. This type of generic 

clearance for qualitative information 

will not be used for quantitative 

information collections that are 

designed to yield reliably actionable 

results, such as monitoring trends over 

time or documenting program 

performance. Such data uses require 

more rigorous designs that address: The 

target population to which 

generalizations will be made, the 

sampling frame, the sample design 

(including stratification and clustering), 

the precision requirements or power 

calculations that justify the proposed 

sample size, the expected response rate, 

methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data 

collection, and any testing procedures 

that were or will be undertaken prior to 

fielding the study. Depending on the 

degree of influence the results are likely 

to have, such collections may still be 

eligible for submission for other generic 

mechanisms that are designed to yield 

quantitative results. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households. 

Number of Respondents: 1,075,000. 

Number of Responses: 1,075,000. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 181,995 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Respondent 

Cost: $6,340,705.80. 

Estimated Respondents’ Operation 

and Maintenance Costs: None. 

Estimated Respondents’ Capital and 

Start-Up Costs: None. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to the 

Federal Government: $2,079,000.95. 

Comments 

Comments may be submitted as 

indicated in the ADDRESSES caption 

above. Comments are solicited to (a) 

evaluate 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated 

September 2, 2017, the President 

amended the cost-sharing arrangements 

regarding Federal funds provided under 

the authority of the Robert T. Stafford 

Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. 

(the ‘‘Stafford Act’’), in a letter to Brock 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 13, 2017 / Notices 43037 

Long, Administrator, Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, Department of 

Homeland Security, under Executive 

Order 12148, as follows: 

I have determined that the damage in 

certain areas of the State of Texas resulting 

from Hurricane Harvey beginning on August 

23, 2017, and continuing, is of sufficient 

severity and magnitude that special cost 

sharing arrangements are warranted 

regarding Federal funds provided under the 

Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 

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

seq. (the ‘‘Stafford Act’’). 

Therefore, I amend my declaration of 

August 25, 2017, to authorize a 90 percent 

Federal cost share for debris removal, 

including direct Federal assistance; and a 100 

percent Federal cost share for emergency 

protective measures, including direct Federal 

assistance, for 30 days from the start of the 

incident period, and then a 90 percent 

Federal cost share thereafter. 

This adjustment to State and local cost 

sharing applies only to Public Assistance 

costs and direct Federal assistance eligible 

for such adjustments under the law. The 

Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 

Emergency Assistance Act specifically 

prohibits a similar adjustment for funds 

provided for Other Needs Assistance (section 

408), and the Hazard Mitigation Grant 

Program (section 404). These funds will 

continue to be reimbursed at 75 percent of 

total eligible costs. 

The following Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance Numbers (CFDA) are to be used 

for reporting and drawing funds: 97.030, 

Community Disaster Loans; 97.031, Cora 

Brown Fund; 97.032, Crisis Counseling; 

97.033, Disaster Legal Services; 97.034, 

Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA); 

97.046, Fire Management Assistance Grant;

Individuals and Households In Presidentially 

Declared Disaster Areas; 97.049, 

Presidentially Declared Disaster Assistance—

and Households; 97.050 Presidentially 

Declared Disaster Assistance to Individuals 

and Households—Other Needs; 97.036,
