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

will minimize burden on the respondents and enable FEMA to continue
to improve in its grants administration practices.

There is a burden reduction in
the response and burden hours due to close-out of some grant
program and the discontinuation of some of the grant programs. This
decease in grant activity has -264,924 decrease in responses and
a-2,081,029 decrease in burden hours. The use of the Standard Forms
for grants are available in the Non-Disaster Grant system. These
forms are used government-wide and controlled by a government-wide
OMB number. The reduction in burden hour are due to an increase of
the use of Standard Forms in the ND-grants system vs FEMA
Forms.
