Abstract:
FEMA’s FMA and BRIC programs use an automated grant application and management system called FEMA GO. The PDM program uses an automated grant application and management system called MT e-Grants. These grant programs provide funding for the purpose of reducing or eliminating the risks to life and property from hazards. The FEMA GO and eGrants systems include all the application information needed to apply for funding under these grant programs. FEMA and SLTTs use the BRIC Panel Review Form to solicit volunteers from SLTTs and Other Federal Agencies (OFA) to review sub-applicant project applications. The volunteers will review, and score applications based on a pre-determined scoring criteria. The PDM, FMA, and BRIC programs will use the same Quarterly Progress Report (QPR) Form.

Short Statement:
The changes in burden hour calculations reflected in the benefits cost determination and environmental review data resulted from updates to historical program requirements. The FMA, BRIC, and PDM teams also established new quarterly reporting data forms and descriptions that are reflected in additional burden hours in the above table. Previous to this submission, the FMA, BRIC, and PDM programs, had not established a standardized format for quarterly reporting. The FMA, BRIC and PDM programs had relied on data formats and forms generated by the recipient’s data collection systems for quarterly reporting information. This submission will allow the FMA, BRIC, and PDM programs to collect standardized information and apply a standardized form to the quarterly reporting process. The new costs in quarterly reporting reflect the increases in the burden hours attributed to the implementation of a standardized form, data and data collection process. The increase in the benefit-cost determination costs reflect data updates that show decreases in the number of responses per respondent. The change in the environmental review costs reflect data updates that account for an increased number of respondents. (SOC 19-3051).
