Title: ●Federal Emergency Management Agency Stafford Act Mission Assignments 
Abstract: 44 CFR 206.208 addresses FEMA’s provision of direct Federal assistance to a State or Indian Tribal government when such entity lacks the capability to perform or to contract for eligible emergency work. FEMA proposes to reorient this section to set forth the other types of mission assignments authorized by the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), as well as to further clarify direct Federal assistance, which is often a mission assignment but also is sometimes work carried out or coordinated by FEMA itself. Mission assignments are an integral part of the way in which FEMA provides Federal assistance to the States and local governments as well as the fundamental method FEMA uses to obtain assistance from other Federal agencies to provide assistance. The authority for mission assignments is set forth in the Stafford Act in section 402 and is often used in work performed under section 403. Further, the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 added the authority for FEMA to assign missions for recovery efforts. This is a new authority which will be addressed in this proposed regulation.
