SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5174) authorizes the President to provide temporary housing units to include mobile homes and other readily fabricated dwellings to eligible applicants who require temporary housing as a result of a major disaster. Title 44 CFR 206.117 provides the requirements for disaster-related housing needs of individuals and households who are eligible for temporary housing assistance. The information collected provides the facts necessary to determine the feasibility of the proposed site for placement of temporary housing units and so that FEMA can have access to place the temporary housing unit as well as retrieve it at the end of the use.

Collection of Information

Title: Manufactured Housing Operations Forms.

Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved information collection.

OMB Number: 1660-0030.

FEMA Forms: FEMA Form 010-0-09, Request for the Site Inspection; FEMA Form 010-0-10, Landowner's Authorization Ingress-Egress Agreement; FEMA Form 009-0-138, Manufactured Housing Unit Inspection Report; FEMA Form 009-0-136, Unit Installation Work Order; FEMA Form 009-0-130, Maintenance Work Order.

Abstract: FEMA's temporary housing assistance provides temporary housing to eligible survivors of federally declared disasters. This information is required to determine whether the infrastructure of the site supports the installation of a temporary housing unit. This collection also obtains permission to place the unit on the property. The property owner certifies that they will not have a lien placed against the unit for their own debts, thus ensuring they will maintain the property so that FEMA can remove the unit when required.

Affected Public: Individuals or households; business or other for-profit.

Number of Respondents: 25,000.

Number of Responses: 25,000.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 4,250 hours.
