This collection of information focuses
on the standardization and consistent use of standard forms and
FEMA forms associated with grantees' requests for disaster and
non-disaster Federal assistance, submission of financial and
administrative reporting, and recordkeeping. The use of the forms
will minimize burden on the respondents and enable FEMA to continue
to improve in its grants administration practices.

The burden for the Standard
Forms 424, LLL and 270 have been removed from the inventory as the
burden for these are calculated in other non-FEMA collections. The
burden for FEMA Form 20-10 is removed as Standard Form 425 collects
this information. The burden for the detailed budget worksheet has
been added as an administrative financial collection tool and the
burden for the uploading of attachments to the ND Grants System has
also been incorporated into the collection. There has also been an
increase in the burden for the remaining forms due to an upward
revision of respondents for the HMGP program which increased the
number of respondents from 52 to 56.
