The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), part of the Department of Homeland Security, is seeking public comments about their revision of a currently approved information collection related to hazard mitigation plans for State, local, and Tribal governments. This effort aims to reduce paperwork and respondent burden while ensuring that these governments have appropriate plans to mitigate natural hazards under Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Comments need to be submitted by June 30, 2025, and should include insights on the necessity, efficiency, and technological aspects of the data collection. FEMA also outlines the estimated response numbers, burden hours, and associated costs for both the respondents and the federal government.
Simple Explanation
FEMA wants people to tell them how to make their homework easier and better when planning for natural disasters like floods or fires. They want to know if this homework is important and helpful, and how much time and money it should take.
