SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under Section 653 of the Robert T. Stafford 
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 
5121 et seq., FEMA is authorized to provide assistance to States based 
on needs before, during, and after a disaster has impacted the State. 
For a major disaster, the Stafford Act authorizes FEMA to direct any 
agency to utilize its existing authorities and resources in support of 
State and local assistance response and recovery efforts. See 42 U.S.C. 
5170(a)(1). For an emergency, the Stafford Act authorizes FEMA to 
direct any agency to utilize its existing authorities and resources in 
support of State and local emergency assistance efforts. See 42 U.S.C. 
5192(a)(1). FEMA may task other Federal agencies to assist during 
disasters and to support emergency efforts by State and local 
governments by issuing a mission assignment to the appropriate agency. 
See 44 CFR 206.5, 206.208. FEMA collects the information necessary to 
determine what resources are needed and if a mission assignment is 
appropriate. The information collected explains which State(s) require 
assistance, what needs to be accomplished, details any resource 
shortfalls, and explains what assistance is required to meet these 
needs.

State in its response to the situation.

hour burden is $301,056.52. There are no annual costs to respondents 
operations and maintenance costs for technical services. There is no 
annual start-up or capital costs. The cost to the Federal Government is 
$28,309.28.
