Collection of Information

    Title: FEMA-Administered Disaster Case Management Intake Form.
    Type of information collection: New information collection.
    OMB Number: 1660-NW132.
    FEMA Forms: FF-104-FY-21-146 and FF-104-FY-21-147.
    Abstract: This collection tool will primarily be used as a guide to 
support FEMA-administered Disaster Case Management (DCM) case managers 
by outlining the allowable data elements they can collect from 
survivors on behalf of FEMA. While there will be a paper collection 
tool, the case managers will primarily be using the tool as a reference 
of data elements they can collect, and using their own case management 
database systems to guide the order in which the elements are 
collected. The elements within the tool are used to assess, screen, and 
refer disaster survivors to available resources that address their 
specific disaster-related unmet needs. Case managers then take the 
information from the intake form and manually upload the data into 
their secured case management database.
    Prior to any data collection, survivors will complete and sign a 
FEMA-administered DCM Consent Form, authorizing FEMA, or its agent, to 
collect data from the survivor in order to effectively provide case 
management services.
    Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 75,000.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 75,000.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 48,000 burden hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Respondent Cost: $1,746,240.
    Estimated Respondents' Operation and Maintenance Costs: $0.
    Estimated Respondents' Capital and Start-Up Costs: $0.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to the Federal Government: $51,640,374.

    Comments may be submitted as indicated in the ADDRESSES caption 
above. Comments are solicited to (a) evaluate whether the proposed data 
collection is necessary for the proper performance of the agency,

methodology and assumptions used; (c) enhance the quality, utility, and 
clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) minimize the burden 
of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or 
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
