Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There has been an overall increase of 43,228 burden hours. This increase is mainly due to the increase in the overall number of jurisdictions served by this program, and it is mitigated by a general decrease in the number of overall plans as some were consolidated into multi-jurisdictional plans. Per 44 CFR § 201.6(a)(4), local governments may collaborate to create a multi-jurisdictional plan. One participating community should be designated as the lead jurisdiction. When FEMA HMA planning grants are used, the lead jurisdiction is often the subrecipient. FEMA encourages the lead jurisdiction to gain buy-in for adoption early in the planning process, using letters of commitment. A participating jurisdiction that does not adopt the plan will not be considered to have an approved plan. There is an overall increase of $5,025,025 due to a combination of the increase of burden hours to this collection and the general increase in wages. Please note that the program office provided an excellent narrative breakdown of the Question 13 costs to respondents on pages 17-18 of the Supporting Statement A.
