Description

FEMA is seeking comments on a revision to its currently approved information collection for the Community Disaster Loan (CDL) Program. The collection supports eligibility determinations, loan management, and compliance, and enables local governments that have suffered substantial disaster-related revenue losses to seek loans to perform governmental functions. The notice describes an updated process that assesses actual financial need when each loan draw is requested rather than relying on a projected disbursement schedule. Comments are due November 20, 2026.
