[[Page 6853]]

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. 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 disaster.
