Agency Recordkeeping/Reporting Requirements Under Emergency 
Review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

    Title: Immediate Disaster Case Management Intake Assessment.
    OMB No.: 0970-New.

Description

    Section 426 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
Assistance Act (Stafford Act), as amended, 42 U.S.C. 5189d authorizes 
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Department 
of Health Services' Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to 
provide Immediate Disaster Case Management (IDCM) services under the 
federal Disaster Case Management Program (DCMP).
    The use of the Electronic Case Management Record System (ECMRS) is 
aligned with Executive Order of the President 13589 and the memorandum 
to the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies M-12-12 from the 
Office of Management and Budget to ``Promote Efficient Spending to 
Support Agency Operations.''
    The primary purpose of the information collection pertains to ACF/
OHSEPR's initiative to improve the intake process and delivery of case 
management services to individuals and households impacted by a 
disaster. Further, the information collection will be used to support 
ACF/OHSEPR's goal to quickly identify critical gaps, resources, needs, 
and services to support State, local and non-profit capacity for 
disaster case management and to augment and build capacity where none 
exists.
    There are two versions of this Paper Reduction Act request: (1) 
paper intake assessment that will be used until ECMRS is implemented 
and operational and (2) Electronic Case Record platform. The ECMRS will 
greatly reduce respondent burden through built-in algorithms that will 
streamline response options and patterns. All information gathered will 
be exclusively used to inform the delivery of disaster case management 
services and programmatic strategies and improvements.
    Respondents: Individuals impacted by a major disaster.
