Abstract: Local governments can request cancellation of Community Disaster Loans if certain conditions are met. Special Community Disaster Loans were authorized under Public Law 109-88 as appropriated under Public Law 109-62, however the loan cancellation provision within the Stafford Act was made inapplicable under Public Law 109-234 (2006 Act). Public Law 110-28 (2007 Act) removed this prohibition, and implementation of this provision is contained in this Paperwork Reduction Act submission.
