prevent terrorism, reduce fraud, and
improve the reliability and accuracy of
personal identification documents
States and territories issue. DLSGP is
authorized by section 204, Title II of the
REAL ID Act of 2005, Division B of the
Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations Act for Defense, the
Global War on Terror, and Tsunami
Relief, 2005 (Pub. L. 109–13) (49 U.S.C.

Collection of Information
Title: FEMA Preparedness Grants;
Driver’s License Security Grant Program
(DLSGP).
Type of Information Collection: New
information collection.
OMB Number: 1660–NEW.
Form Titles and Numbers: No Forms.
Abstract: The DLSGP is an important
tool among a comprehensive set of
measures to help strengthen the Nation
against risks associated with potential
terrorist attacks. FEMA uses the
information to evaluate applicants’
familiarity with the national
preparedness architecture and identify
how elements of this architecture have
been incorporated into regional/state/
local planning, operations, and
investments. The Program Narrative and
Program Management Capabilities Work
Plan provide the State with a Driver’s
License Security Grant Program
implementation roadmap and tells the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) how grant funding will be used.
The Program Narrative is a separate
document from the Program
Management Capabilities Work Plan,
both of which help to assess program
implementation potential and a State’s
management procedures and
capabilities. The Program Narrative and
the Program Management Capabilities
Work Plan are required upon grant
application and are reviewed by FEMA
and the DHS Policy Office to determine
funding decisions and assists with
project oversight.
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 168 Hours.
