Review; Comment Request; Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training 
Program

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will submit the 
information collection abstracted below to the Office of Management and 
Budget for review and clearance in accordance with the requirements of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The submission will describe the 
nature of the information collection, the categories of respondents, 
the estimated burden (i.e., the time, effort and resources used by 
respondents to respond) and cost, and the actual data collection 
instruments FEMA will use.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before May 2, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments on the proposed information 
collection to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office 
of Management and Budget. Comments should be addressed to the Desk 
Officer for the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency 
Management Agency, and sent via electronic mail to 
[email protected].

copies of the information collection should be made to Director, 
Information Management Division, 500 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472, 
email address [email protected] or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection 
previously published in the Federal Register on January 30, 2018 at 83 
FR 4234 with a 60 day public comment period. One comment was received 
and FEMA modified the collection accordingly. Specifically, FEMA 
proposed to remove the option A from question 8 on the CCP/ISP Crisis 
Counseling Assistance and Training Program, Immediate Services Program 
Application/FEMA Form 003-0-1 and option A from question 12 on the CCP/
RSP Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program, Regular Services 
Program Application/FEMA Form 003-0-2. FEMA is now proposing to only 
remove option A from question 8 on the CCP/ISP Crisis Counseling 
Assistance and Training Program, Immediate Services Program 
Application/FEMA Form 003-0-1. The removal of this option from the CCP/
ISP Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program, Immediate 
Services Program Application/FEMA Form 003-0-1 will result in a minor 
hour burden reduction of 1.9 hours.
    FEMA is also providing a clarification to both the ISP and RSP 
applications by modifying the first sentence in option B from question 
8 on the CCP/ISP Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program, 
Immediate Services Program Application/FEMA Form 003-0-1 and option B 
from question 12 on the CCP/RSP Crisis Counseling Assistance and 
Training Program, Regular Services Program Application/FEMA Form 003-0-
2 to include ``local'' service areas. The first sentence will now say: 
Use the following table to estimate the impacted population for each 
requested service area (county, parish, tribal land, local, etc.). This 
addition is a minor clarifying change and will result in no additional 
burden hours.
    The purpose of this notice is to notify the public that FEMA will 
submit the information collection abstracted below to the Office of 
Management and Budget for review and clearance.
