SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 44
CFR, Part 13, Uniform Administrative
Requirements for Grants and
Cooperative Agreements to State and
Local Government establishes uniform
administrative rules for Federal grants
and cooperative agreements and subawards to State, local and Indian tribal
governments. FEMA has determined
that in order to have consistent
implementation of FEMA grant
administration policies, to reduce
duplicative and tedious data entry, to
more effectively measure preparedness
gains, and to streamline application
submission and management for
Grantees, Regions, State and local
partners, it is necessary to automate the
reporting processes.
The Homeland Security Presidential
Directive (HSPD–5) related to the
‘‘Management of Domestic Incidents’’
gives the Secretary the authority to
gather information related to domestic
incidents and mandates the Secretary
provide standardized, quantitative
reports on the readiness and
preparedness of the Nation—at all levels
of government—to prevent, prepare for,
respond to, and recover from domestic
incidents. The Homeland Security
Presidential Directive (HSPD–8) related
to ‘‘National Preparedness’’ authorizes
the Federal government to deliver
Federal preparedness awards to the
States. Applicants must apply the funds
to the highest priority preparedness
requirements at the appropriate level of
government. Federal preparedness
assistance is based upon the adoption of
statewide comprehensive all-hazards
preparedness strategies, consistent with
the national preparedness goal. HSPD–
8 authorizes the Secretary to review and
approve strategies submitted by the
States and establishes the requirement
that applicants must have adopted
approved statewide strategies in order to
receive Federal grant funds. Further,
HSPD–8 authorizes Federal departments
and agencies to develop appropriate
mechanisms to ensure rapid obligation
and disbursement of funds from their
programs to the States, such as the GRT.
HSPD–8 mandates Federal departments
and agencies report annually on the
obligation, expenditure status, and the
use of funds associated with Federal
preparedness assistance programs.
Section 430 of the Homeland Security
Act of 2002, as amended (6 U.S.C. 238),
authorized the Office for Domestic
Preparedness (ODP, which was
transferred to FEMA by the Post Katrina

primary responsibility for national
preparedness, including directing and
supervising terrorism preparedness
grant programs for emergency response
providers and incorporating the Strategy
priorities into planning guidance on an
agency level for the overall national
preparedness efforts. ODP (now FEMA)
was authorized to develop a process for
receiving meaningful input from State
and local government to assist the
development of the national strategy for
combating terrorism and other
homeland security activities.
