SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This collection is in accordance with

survey customers to determine the kind and quality of services they 
want and their level of satisfaction with existing services. The 
Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) requires Federal 
agencies to set missions and goals and to measure agency performance 
against them. See Public Law 103-62, 107 Stat 285 (1993). The GPRA 
Modernization Act of 2010 requires quarterly performance assessments of 
government programs for the purposes of assessing agency performance 
and improvement. See Public Law 111-352, 124 Stat 3875 (2011). FEMA 
fulfills these requirements by collecting customer satisfaction program 
information through surveys of States, Local and Tribal governments, 
and eligible non-profit organizations.
