the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity 
to comment on proposed new, revised, or continuing information 
collections. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), this notice seeks comments concerning the 
proposed extension to an existing information collection previously 
approved and assigned OMB Control Number 3067-0033. The current

    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved information 
collection.

    Abstract: Section 406 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 
Emergency Assistance Act authorizes the President to make contributions 
to State and local governments and private non-profit organizations 
(PNP's) for repair, restoration, reconstruction, or replacement of a 
public or private non-profit facility damaged or destroyed by a major 
disaster and for associated expenses incurred by the applicant. FEMA 
regulation 44 CFR section 202.202(c) requires applicants applying for 
Federal disaster assistance to submit a completed Notice of Interest in 
Applying for Federal Disaster Assistance, FEMA Form 90-49. Applicants 
use the form to list damages to property and facilities so that 
inspections may be appropriately assigned for formal surveys. The form 
is signed by the applicant and submitted to the Governor's Authorized 
Representative. The Private Non-Profit Checklist documents the 
applicant's private non-profit eligibility status and facilitates the 
processing of the applicant's application for assistance.
    Affected Public: State, local or tribal governments.
