SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
collection of information is necessary to
implement grants for the Flood
Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program,
Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) program,
Repetitive Flood Claims (RFC) program
and the Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM)
program.
The FMA program is authorized by
section 1366 of the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4104c,
as amended by the National Flood
Insurance Reform Act of 2004 (NFIA),
Public Law 108–264. The FMA program,
under 44 CFR Part 79, is designed to
award grants so that measures are taken
to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk
of flood damage to buildings,
manufactured homes, and other
structures insurable under the National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
The SRL program is authorized by
section 1361A of the NFIA of 2004, 42
U.S.C. 4102a, with the goal of reducing
flood damages to residential properties
that have experienced severe repetitive
losses under flood insurance coverage.
The program under 44 CFR Part 79,

PO 00000

Frm 00043

Fmt 4703

focuses on efforts that will result in the
greatest savings to the NFIF in the
shortest period of time.
The RFC program is authorized by the
NFIA of 2004 (Pub. L. 108–264), 42
U.S.C. 4030. The NFIA authorizes
funding annually to award grants for
actions that reduce flood damages to
individual properties for which one or
more claim payments for losses have
been made.
The PDM program is authorized by
section 203 of the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act (the Act), 42 U.S.C. 5133,
as amended by section 102 of the
Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA),
Public Law 106–390, 114 Stat. 1552.
The PDM program provides grants for
cost-effective mitigation actions prior to
a disaster event to reduce overall risks
to the population and structures, while
also reducing reliance on funding from
actual disaster declarations.
In accordance with OMB Circular A–
102, FEMA requires that all parties
interested in receiving FEMA mitigation
grants submit an application package for
grant assistance. The e-Grants system
has been developed and revamped to
meet the intent of the e-Government
initiative, authorized by Public Law
106–107. This initiative requires that all
government agencies both streamline
grant application processes and provide
for the means to electronically create,
review, and submit a grant application
via the Internet.
