          Subject: Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management
                  Agency: Special Community Disaster Loans Program

          Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Department of Homeland Security, Federal
          Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), entitled Special Community Disaster
          Loans Program (RIN: 1660-AA44). We received the rule on November 28, 2005. It
          was published in the Federal Register as an interim rule with request for comments
          on October 18, 2005. 70 Fed. Reg. 60443.

          The interim rule implements the Special Community Disaster Loans Program
          authorized in the Community Disaster Loan Act of 2005. The rule describes the
          procedures and requirements for a program designed to provide loans for essential
          services to local governments that have experienced a loss in revenue due to a major
          disaster.

          Enclosed is our assessment of FEMA's compliance with the procedural steps
          required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule.
          Our review indicates that FEMA complied with the applicable requirements.
