SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will submit the

Budget for review and clearance in accordance with the requirements of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The submission will describe the

respondents to respond) and cost, and the actual data collection 
instruments FEMA will use.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before September 25, 2014.

ADDRESSES: 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 to the Desk 
Officer for the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency 
Management Agency, and sent via electronic mail to 
oira.submission@omb.eop.gov or faxed to (202) 395-5806.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Unauthorized Use of Draft Immediate Services Program (ISP) 
Application: During April 2014, FEMA used the draft version of the ISP 
application to evaluate whether the State of Washington needed the ISP 
portion of the Crisis Counseling Program for the Washington State 
mudslides that occurred on March 22, 2014. Washington State was 
approved for the ISP portion of the Crisis Counseling Program and FEMA 
only utilized the ISP draft application during this one incident. FEMA 
will not use the ISP or RSP applications until OMB has approved both 
forms for use. FEMA is disclosing the unauthorized use for transparency 
purposes during the OMB review and approval process.
