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.
Emergency Justfication:
Emergency approval of the proposed new collection is required to ensure that FEMA is able to receive and process Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 applications and implement FY 2022 Congressionally directed community projects through the Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) Division’s Pre-disaster Mitigation (PDM) grant program; implement the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) funded FY 2022 Flood Mitigation Assistance’s (FMA) “Swift Current” Initiative; implement IIJA funded FMA program requirement increases; implement IIJA funded Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program requirement increases; implement the BRIC Direct Technical Assistance (DTA) initiative in compliance with IIJA, Executive Order (EO) 13985 and EO 14008 requirements; and implement the Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) through Hazard Mitigation financial assistance programs.

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.
