SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Community Disaster Loan (CDL) Program is 
authorized by Section 417 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 
Emergency Assistance Act, Public Law 93-288, as amended, and provides 
loans to any local government which has suffered a substantial loss of 
tax or other revenues as a result of a major disaster or emergency and 
which demonstrates a need for Federal financial assistance in order to 
perform its governmental functions. FEMA regulations at 44 CFR 206.360-
206.367 contain the procedures and requirements that implement the 
statutory authority for this program.
    The title (Formerly titled Application for Community Disaster Loan 
(CDL) and the Special Community Disaster Loan (SCDL) Program) 
previously reported in the 60-Day Federal Register Notice (73 FR 76370, 
Dec. 16, 2008) has been changed because the Special Community Disaster 
Loan (SCDL) Program was only authorized to provide loans to communities 
affected by Hurricanes Katrina and/or Rita. The application period for 
that program closed at the end of fiscal year 2006 (October 1, 2006). 
Because FEMA is no longer accepting applications for the SCDL Program, 
it has been removed from this collection.

Collection of Information

    Title: Application for Community Disaster Loan (CDL) Program.
    Type of information collection: Revision of a currently approved

with the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) numbering system. FEMA 
Form 090-0-2 (Former FEMA Form 90-7), Application for Community 
Disaster Loan was inadvertently not included in the 60-Day Federal 
Register Notice mentioned above and has since been added to this 
collection.
    Abstract: The Loan Package for the Community Disaster Loan Program 
provides States, Local and Tribal governments that have suffered 
substantial loss of tax or other revenues as a result of a major 
disaster or emergency, the opportunity to obtain financial assistance 
in order to perform their governmental functions. Local governments can 
submit a loan package for the Community Disaster Loan Program. This 
loan must be justified on the basis of need and actual expenses.
    Affected Public: ``State, Local, or Tribal Government''.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 50.
    Frequency of Response: Once.
    Estimated Average Hour Burden per Respondent: 19.5 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 975. The estimated total 
annual burden hours previously reported in the 60-day Federal Register 
Notice (73 FR 76370, Dec. 16, 2008) has been increased.
    Estimated Cost: The estimated total annual respondent 
administrative cost based on wage rate categories is $44,892.32. The 
estimated total annual respondent administrative cost based on wage 
rate categories previously reported in the 60-day Federal Register 
Notice (73 FR 76370, Dec. 16, 2008) has been increased. There are no 
capital expenditure costs associated with this collection.
