    Abstract: The information collected is utilized by FEMA to make 
determinations for Public Assistance payments based on the information 
supplied by the respondents. The following listing provides the 
instances of information sharing and how the individual collection 
instruments provide necessary information for Public Assistance 
considerations. FEMA Form 90-49 identifies the applicant and initiates 
the request. FEMA Forms 90-91A, B, C and D identifies the scope of the 
work and cost estimates. FEMA Form 90-120 records factors that could 
affect the scope of the work. FEMA Form 90-121 is used to determine 
private non-profit applicant eligibility. FEMA Form 90-123 identifies 
employees from the applicant's own workforce who perform related work, 
and FEMA form 90-124 identifies materials of the applicant used on the 
project. FEMA Form 90-125 provides a list of materials rented for the 
project, FEMA Form 90-126 identifies contract costs for the project, 
FEMA Form 90-127 records the applicant's equipment costs and FEMA Form 
90-128 provides the applicant's benefit costs for the project. The 
request for appeals, both first and second, and well as the arbitration 
requests allow for the applicant to request a review of determinations 
made.
