Abstract: This collection of information focuses on the standardization and consistent use of standard and FEMA forms associated with grantees' requests for disaster and non-disaster Federal assistance, submission of financial and administrative reporting, and recordkeeping. The use of the forms will minimize burden on the respondents and enable FEMA to continue to improve in its grants administration practices.

Emergency Justfication: This collection has been amended to include +1220 burden hours for the authorized Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) grant program. FEMA published a 60-day Federal Register Notice on September 28, 2007, 72 FR 55234-55239, to begin the clearance process for this collection. The Interim Final Rule for SRL (1660-AA36)was published in the Federal Register on October 31, 2007, volume 72, number 210, Pages 61720-61750. FEMA is requesting an emergency clearance so that this collection does not expire and is not removed from the OMB inventory.

Short Statement: The total burden hours for this information collection are estimated to be 2,150,885 hours. The last OMB submission for this data collection burden hours were miscalculated. The total burden hours for this collection should have been 2,478,773 vs. 2,502,902. There was an additional +24,129 hours miscalculated in the various grant programs in the previous data collection submission. This data collection has a program decrease of -352,017 (2,502,902 - 2,150,885) burden hours. FEMA are currently funding three additional non-disaster programs since the last data collection. These three programs that will use this collection for grant administration are the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program (AFG), Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER), Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL), Alternative Housing Pilot Program (AHPP), Disaster Donations Assistance Program (AIDMATRIX), Fire Prevention and Safety (FP&S), and Fire Management Assistance Grant Program (FMAGP). The burden hours for Cooperating Technical Pertners (CTP), Map Modernization Management Support (MMMS), Other Needs Assistance (ONA) and Earthquake Consortium (EqC) was not captured in last approval process. The Fire Suppression Program was replaced with the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA). Burden hours have been eliminated for Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG), Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), Individual Family Grant (IFG) grant programs. The IFG program is not longer funded by FEMA. CERT is no longer funded by FEMA. EMPG no longer uses FEMA forms; they have transitioned to the OMB approved standard forms. (See the tables in the supporting statement for changes in burden estimates.)
