DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Emergency Preparedness and 
Response Directorate, U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites 
the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity 
to comment on proposed 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 temporary housing 
units, for disaster victims of federally declared disasters.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public Law 93-288, as amended by Public Law 
100-707, the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
Assistance Act, Section 408, authorizes the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency (FEMA) to provide Temporary Housing Assistance. This 
type of assistance could be in the form of mobile homes, travel 
trailers, or other readily fabricated dwellings. This assistance is 
used when required to provide disaster housing for victims of federally 
declared disasters. Accordingly the FEMA Form 90-1 is designed to 
ensure sites for temporary housing units that will accommodate the home 
and comply with local, State, and Federal regulations regarding the 
placement of the temporary housing unit; FEMA Form 90-31, ensures that 
the landowner (if other than the recipient of the home) will allow the 
temporary housing unit to be placed on the property; and ensure that 
routes on ingress and egress to and from property are maintained.
