Abstract: This information is necessary to support the President's priorities and allocations authority under Title I of the Defense Production Act of 1950 (DPA), as amended (50 U.S.C. 4501, et seq.) as implemented by the Emergency Management Priorities and Allocations System (EMPAS) regulation (44 CFR part 333) which was added by FEMA’s April xx , 2020 Emergency Management Priorities and Allocations System Interim Final Rule (RIN 1660-AB04). The purpose of this authority is to ensure the timely delivery of products, materials, and services to meet current national defense requirements. The definition of “national defense” in Section 702(14) of the DPA provides that this term includes “homeland security,” “emergency preparedness activities” conducted pursuant to Section 602 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act) (42 U.S.C. 5195a), and “critical infrastructure protection and restoration.” Contractors may request Special Priorities Assistance (SPA) when placing rated orders with suppliers, to obtain timely delivery of products, materials or services from suppliers, or for any other reason under the EMPAS, in support of approved national programs. Additionally, when responding to COVID-19, State and local governments, owners, operators, and the private sector may request SPA. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) FEMA Form 009-0-142 is used to apply for such assistance. This new collection is being submitted under the Emergency Process for approval of a valid OMB control number for a period of 6 months. Additionally, FEMA plans to seek public comments on the collection through the normal clearance process.
