Comments

    The Corporation has implemented this data collection system to 
organize and manage information related to disaster recovery program 
activities as they occur in the field. All Corporation-supported 
programs that assist with disaster response/recovery are asked to 
report up-to-date information. The role of the database is to gather 
and subsequently disseminate disaster recovery program activities from 
all CNCS programs as soon as the activities occur. Due to recent major 
hurricane activity in the southern United States, it is essential that 
the Corporation has this disaster recovery collection instrument in 
place as soon as possible. Therefore, the Corporation has requested 
OMB's emergency review and approval by October 31, 2005
