Short Statement: The information collection is being revised to capture relevant and accurate disability-related information about survivors and/or members of their households who are individuals with disabilities to provide meaningful access to FEMA programs. The revision also includes the removal of instrument 009-0-1S (English) and 009-0-2S (Spanish). While the average hour burden per response to complete FFs 009-0-1T, 009-0-1Int, 009-0-2Int, 009-0-1, and 009-0-2 has increased due to the revisions, there is an overall decrease in annual burden hours for the collection due to updated forecasting estimates received from the FEMA Recovery Reporting and Analytics Division (RAD) based on historical data from years 2007-2019.
