The
information collected is required for the
Public Assistance (PA) Program
eligibility determinations, grants
management, and compliance with
other Federal laws and regulations. The
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C.
5121–5207 (the Stafford Act), authorizes
financial and other forms of assistance
to State and local governments and
certain Private Nonprofit (PNP)
organizations to support the response,
recovery, and mitigation efforts
following Presidentially declared major
disasters and emergencies. 44 CFR Part
206 specifies the information collections
necessary to facilitate the provision of
assistance under the PA Program.
Pursuant to 44 CFR 206.202(c), the
Grantee is required to submit a
completed Request, FEMA Form 90–49
for each applicant who requests Public
Assistance. Section 206.202(d) requires
the applicant to submit a Project
Worksheet (FEMA Forms 90–91, 90–
91A, 90–91B, 90–91C, and 90–91D) for
each project. The Project Worksheet
must identify the eligible scope of work
and must include a quantitative
estimate for the eligible work. As a
supplement to the Project Worksheet,
FEMA also requires a Special
Considerations form, FEMA Form 90–
120, and an Applicant’s Benefits
Calculation Worksheet, FEMA Form 90–
128. There are also various optional
forms to aid the applicant in preparing
and submitting the Project Worksheet.
Pursuant to 44 CFR 206.207, States
are required to develop a State
Administrative plan to administer the
PA Program. The submission of the
State Administrative Plan is required as
a condition of receiving PA funding.
FEMA must approve a State
Administrative Plan before awarding
any project grant assistance to a
community or State applicant. The State
must submit a revised plan annually. In
addition, FEMA will request that the
State amend its plan to meet current
policy guidance in each disaster for
which Public Assistance is included.
Pursuant to 44 CFR 206.204(c), the
Grantee may to approve time extensions
for the completion of projects for an
additional six months for debris
clearance and emergency work and an
additional 30 months for permanent
work. Time extensions beyond the
Grantee’s authority (i.e., beyond the
extensions available under section
206.204(c)), must be submitted by the
Grantee to FEMA, pursuant to 44 CFR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 220 / Tuesday, November 17, 2009 / Notices
206.204(d). Such extensions require the
Regional Administrator’s approval in
writing, pursuant to 44 CFR
206.204(d)(2).
A subgrantee may request additional
funding through the Grantee to the
Regional Administrator for cost
overruns, pursuant to 44 CFR
206.204(e). All requests for the Regional
Administrator’s approval must contain
sufficient documentation to support the
eligibility of all claimed work and costs.
The Grantee must include a written
recommendation when forwarding the
request to the Regional Administrator.
Pursuant to 44 CFR 206.204(f),
progress reports must be submitted by
the Grantee to the Regional
Administrator on a quarterly basis. The
Regional Administrator and Grantee
negotiate the date for submission of the
first report. Progress reports describe the
status of those projects on which a final
payment of the Federal share has not
been made to the Grantee, and outline
any problems or circumstances expected
to result in noncompliance with the
approved grant conditions.
Once FEMA has made a
determination on an application or
project, the applicant may appeal that
determination. If an applicant seeks
appeal, 44 CFR 206.206 requires an
applicant to submit a request for appeal,
and the Grantee to submit a
recommendation regarding the
applicant’s request. For those projects
over $500,000.00 resulting from
Hurricanes Katrina or Rita (DR–1603,
DR–1604, DR–1605, DR–1606, and DR–

1607), applicants may seek arbitration
in lieu of an appeal. To seek arbitration,
applicants must submit a request for
arbitration which may be accompanied
by a recommendation from the Grantee.
Arbitration is authorized by Section 601
of the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111–
5) and 44 CFR 206.209.

Abstract: The information collected is
utilized by FEMA to make
determinations for Public Assistance
payments based on the information
supplied by the respondents. The
following listing provides the instances
of information sharing and how the
individual collection instruments
provide necessary information for
Public Assistance considerations. FEMA
Form 90–49 identifies the applicant and
initiates the request. FEMA Forms 90–
91A, B, C and D identifies the scope of
the work and cost estimates. FEMA
Form 90–120 records factors that could
affect the scope of the work. FEMA
Form 90–121 is used to determine
private non-profit applicant eligibility.
FEMA Form 90–123 identifies
employees from the applicant’s own
workforce who perform related work,
and FEMA form 90–124 identifies
materials of the applicant used on the
project. FEMA Form 90–125 provides a
list of materials rented for the project,
FEMA Form 90–126 identifies contract
costs for the project, FEMA Form 90–
127 records the applicant’s equipment
costs and FEMA Form 90–128 provides
the applicant’s benefit costs for the
project. The request for appeals, both
first and second, and well as the
arbitration requests allow for the
applicant to request a review of
determinations made.
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 167,554 Hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of the Regional Catastrophic
Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP) is
to enhance catastrophic incident
preparedness in Tier 1 and selected Tier
2 Urban Areas. RCPGP is intended to
support coordination of regional allhazard planning for catastrophic events,
including the development of integrated
planning communities, plans, protocols,
and procedures to manage a
catastrophic event. The collection of
information for the RCPGP is mandated
by Title III of the Consolidated Security,

PO 00000

Frm 00097

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

59209

Disaster Assistance, and Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2009 (Pub. L. 110–
329). This program was originally
created under the general grant and
cooperative agreement making powers
of the Secretary under 6 U.S.C.
112(b)(2).
The RCPGP information is to be used
to produce improved catastrophic plans
and planning processes by the states
and local jurisdictions involved.
Specifically, the plans and planning
must address shortcomings in existing
plans to address regional catastrophic
planning issues, including the
establishment of a regional network of
plans to address catastrophic events.
Plans will include a process for
establishing an incident command
structure and will also identify roles
and responsibilities for each
organization. Additionally, plans will
identify detailed resource, personnel,
and asset allocations in order to execute
strategic objectives and translate
strategic priorities into operational
execution. These plans should apply
existing capabilities and assist in
assessing gaps in needed capabilities.
