SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA Office of External Affairs, Public 
Affairs Division, is implementing the SalesForce Customer Relationship 
Management (CRM) system to improve the response to correspondences from 
individuals seeking information from a FEMA program office pursuant to 
Exec. Order No. 13411, which calls for improvements to the delivery of 
Federal disaster assistance by providing disaster survivors with 
``prompt and efficient access to Federal disaster assistance, as well 
as information regarding assistance available from State and local 
government and private sector sources.'' The SalesForce CRM provides a 
centralized portal to manage frequently asked questions relating to 
Federal, State, local, and tribal information.

Collection of Information

    Title: The SalesForce Customer Relationship Management System Web-
form allowing an Individual to Submit Correspondence to FEMA.
    OMB Number: 1660-NEW.
    Type of Information Collection: New information collection.
    FEMA Forms: None.
    Abstract: FEMA correspondence teams respond to questions from 
individuals covering various topics. Depending on the topic searched, 
the CRM queries the database of pre-approved questions and answers. If 
the search result does not provide the desired answer, the citizen is 
provided a link to the web-form to submit their inquiry (i.e. question/
comment) to the proper component (i.e. program office) for a response. 
In general, a citizen's inquiry may range from publications requests, 
how to apply for grants, or reimbursement criterion. The minimal 
collection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is necessary 
for FEMA correspondence teams to carry out their mission of responding 
to citizens who seek assistance.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; Business or other for-
profit; Not-for-profit institutions; Farms; Federal Government; State, 
Local, Tribal Government.
