Summary

**Plain English Summary:** This is a federal regulation about collecting information from organizations that want to import supplies for emergency relief work (like disaster response). **What it does:** The regulation establishes procedures and paperwork requirements for importing emergency relief supplies into the United States. It's being submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for review. **Who it affects:** - Relief organizations and charities that import emergency supplies - Government agencies that process these imports - Communities receiving emergency aid **What would change:** Organizations importing emergency relief supplies would need to follow specific procedures and complete required forms. This could streamline the import process during emergencies by having clear, pre-approved procedures in place, but may also add paperwork requirements for relief organizations. The regulation is currently in the review stage and seeks public comments before final approval.
