Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice seeks comments concerning 
information collected by FEMA to provide temporary housing units, 
including manufactured housing units, recreational vehicles and other 
readily fabricated dwellings to eligible applicants who, as a direct 
result of a major disaster or emergency, are unable to occupy their 
primary residence or obtain adequate alternate housing, and therefore 
require temporary housing.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5174, as amended by the Disaster 
Mitigation Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-390), authorizes the President to 
provide temporary housing units, including manufactured housing units, 
recreational vehicles and other readily fabricated dwellings to 
eligible applicants who, as a direct result of a major disaster or 
emergency, are unable to occupy their primary residence or obtain 
adequate alternate housing, and therefore require temporary housing. 
Requirements for disaster-related housing needs of individuals and 
households who are eligible for temporary housing assistance may be 
found in Title 44 CFR 206.117--Housing Assistance. The information

collected is used to determine the feasibility of a potential site for 
placement of temporary housing units (THUs) to ensure the THUs are 
ready for applicant occupancy, and to confirm applicant understanding 
of the requirements of occupancy of the THUs. The information will also 
provide FEMA with access to place the THUs, to document the 
installation and maintenance of the THUs, and to retrieve the THUs at 
the end of their use.
