Short Statement: 1. We have removed FF090-0-2 “Application for Community Disaster Loan” because it is no longer being utilized to capture this information. 2. Grant/loan laws requires gathering data on FF112-0-3C “Certifications Regarding Lobbying; Debarment, Suspension and Other Responsibility Matters; And Drug-Free Workplace Requirements” which used to belong to OMB Collection 1660-0025. That collection has transitioned to a database for collecting the information captured in said form and has requested eliminating this form from their collection. Our OMB Collection 1660-0083 requests adopting this form into our forms collection. 3. A “Grammatical change” was made to FEMA Form 116-0-1 replacing “State” with “Component Unit” in order to make the form universal for use with the United States Territories of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Additional term pages were added to the form to allow for additional terms of the loan to be outlined as needed for the territories receiving Disaster Loan assistance from FEMA and the US Treasury.
