The data
collection is approved contingent upon the following: (1) the form
must contain a disclosure of burden hours estimate and a request
for comment as required by 5 CFR 1320, and (2) FEMA must provide
instructions -- either on the form or in an accompanying cover
letter -- that explain who is required to fill out the form and
why. Approval is for one year only and is limited to the original
data collection, excluding any updates. With the next submission
for OMB review, FEMA must provide a detailed plan for the process
of subsequent collections intended to update the original
collection. That plan should include exactly how the data will be
collected and how often, the number of respondents involved
annually and the estimated burden.
