Short Statement:
There was an increase in burden hours from 1,230 to 2,580 (+1,350) for this collection of information. This adjustment in burden hours is due to the addition of FEMA Form 003-0-2 (Regular Services Application), the Quarterly Report Narrative and the Final Report Narrative to this collection. The Regular Services Program documents proposed under this collection are a new requirement. As a result of General Accountability Office (GAO) audits, including GAO 05-514 "Lessons Learned from Project Liberty", FEMA has been asked to update its risk assessment procedures in order to more effectively monitor grantee performance and funds expenditures. FEMA has collected the information contained in these documents in the past but use of these documents has not been required. In an effort to increase effective programmatic and fiscal monitoring of these grants, FEMA is proposing to add these documents to the current collection and make them officially required of all applicants wishing to receive a Crisis Counseling Program grant.
