infrastructure against risks associated
with potential terrorist attacks.
Collection of Information
Title: FEMA Preparedness Grants:
Buffer Zone Protection Program (BZPP).
Type of Information Collection: New
information collection.
OMB Number: 1660–NEW.
Form Titles and Numbers: FEMA
Form 089–23, Buffer Zone Plan; FEMA
Form 089–23A, Vulnerability Reduction
Purchasing Plan.
Abstract: The information collection
activity is the collection of financial and
programmatic information from States
and local governments pertaining to
grant and cooperative agreement awards
that include application, program
narrative statement, grant award,
performance information, outlay
reports, property management, and
closeout information. The information
enables FEMA to evaluate applications
and make award decisions, monitor
ongoing performance and manage the
flow of federal funds, and to
appropriately close out grants or
cooperative agreements. The Buffer
Zone Plan is a narrative plan that
includes an assessment of possible
infrastructure security risks and
documents the degree to which security
processes and procedures are in place,
including planning to enhance and/or
improve site security and the actions
jurisdictions undertake in their BZP to
protect against or prevent terrorist
attacks at critical infrastructure and key
resources (CIKR). The Vulnerability
Reduction Purchasing Plan is a plan
applicants prepare that corresponds to
the Buffer Zone Plan and lists
procurement items including
equipment, information technology, and
other resources such as training, that are
needed to improve or enhance a
jurisdiction’s preventive or protective
posture around critical infrastructure
and key resources (CIKR) sites identified
in the BZP.
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 4,000 Hours.
