DHS/FEMA RIN: 1660-AA67 Publication ID: Fall 2010 
Title: Revision to FEMA Rulemaking Policy and Procedures 
Abstract: FEMA proposes to revise 44 CFR 1.4(b) to reflect the Agency's true policy regarding the publication of regulations with respect to its loan and grant programs. Pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, agencies are not required to publish notice and comment regulations for grant and loan programs. FEMA has, however, voluntarily published regulations for its "no year" grant and loan programs. Those are the programs whose appropriations are not changed annually, such as those in the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended. Annual or semi-annual grants, such as the Pre-Disaster Mitigation or Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response or other preparedness grant programs are issued by grant guidance on www.grants.gov. Their frequently changing requirements and fast issuance deadlines are not conducive to the rulemaking process. In proposing this change, FEMA would also propose to remove the outdated regulations for the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program in part 152.
