This is a request by the
Administration for Children and Families (ACF) for a generic
clearance for the Disaster Information Collection Form. An approval
for a generic clearance is being requested because each of the
thirteen program offices within ACF has a slightly different need
for information about program impact information collection during
a disaster. ACF oversees more than 60 programs that affect the
normal day to day operations of families, children, individuals and
communities in the United States. Many of these programs encourage
grantees or state administrators to develop emergency preparedness
plans, but do not have statutory authority to require these plans
be in place. ACF facilitates the inclusion of emergency
preparedness planning and training efforts for ACF programs.
Presidential Policy Directive-8 (PPD-8) provides federal guidance
and planning procedures under established phases – protection,
preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. The Disaster
Information Collection Forms addressed in this clearance process
provide assessment of ACF programs in disaster response, and
recovery. ACF/Office of Human Services Emergency Preparedness and
Response (OHSEPR) has a requirement under PPD-8, the National
Response Framework, and the National Disaster Recovery Framework to
report disaster impacts to ACF-supported human services programs to
the HHS Secretary’s Operation Center (SOC) and interagency
partners. ACF/OHSEPR works in partnership with the Assistant
Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), and the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to report assessments of
disaster impacted ACF programs and the status of continuity of
services and recovery.
