SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection 
previously published in the Federal Register on September 14, 2021, at 
86 FR 51174 with a 60-day public comment period. One public comment was 
received. FEMA acknowledges and appreciates the comment made; however,

    Section 322 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
Assistance Act (Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5165, as amended by the 
Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), Public Law 106-390, 
provides the framework for linking pre-and post-disaster mitigation 
planning and initiatives with public and private interests to ensure an 
integrated, comprehensive approach to disaster loss reduction. Title 44 
CFR part 201 provides the mitigation planning requirements for State, 
local, Tribal, or Territorial governments to identify the natural 
hazards that impact them, to identify actions and activities to reduce 
any losses from hazards, and to establish a coordinated process to 
implement the plan, taking advantage of a wide range of resources.
