The Department of Homeland
Security’s (DHS) Office of Inspector
General (OIG) is conducting an audit to
determine whether the Federal

Emergency Management Agency’s
(FEMA) oversight and monitoring of
Assistance to Firefighter Grant Program
recipients ensures that grantees comply
with grant requirements and guidance
precluding waste, fraud, and abuse of
grant funds.
The DHS OIG will use the data
collected to determine whether FEMA’s
current monitoring and grant
management efforts comply with
Federal regulations, as well as FEMA’s
Assistance to Firefighter Grant Program
requirements. The DHS OIG will make
recommendations to FEMA to address
any programmatic challenges identified
during the audit.
The Inspector General Act of 1978, as
amended, stipulates that Inspectors
General conduct and supervise audits to
provide a means for keeping the head of
the establishment and the Congress fully
and currently informed about problems
and deficiencies relating to the
administration of such programs and
operations and the necessity for and
progress of corrective action. In
addition, as such, they have access to all
records, reports, audits, reviews,
documents, papers, recommendations,
or other material that relate to programs
and operations with respect to which
that Inspector General has
responsibilities under this Act.
Additionally, financial and
programmatic monitoring requirements
are set forth in 44 CFR Part 13, Uniform
Administrative Requirements for Grants
and Cooperative Agreements to State
and Local Government or 2 CFR Part
215, Uniform Administrative
Requirements for Grants and
Agreements with Institutions of Higher
Education, Hospitals, and Other NonProfit Organizations. Per FEMA grant
guidance and grant award letters, grant
recipients are required to conform to
either 44 CFR Part 13 or 2 CFR Part 215.
Both regulations stipulate that records
must be retained for three years after
submission of the final expenditure
report for the grant.
Finally, both 44 CFR Part 13.43 and
2 CFR Part 215.53 provide the Inspector
General the right of timely and
unrestricted access to any records of
recipients that are pertinent to the
awards, in order to make audits,
examinations, excerpts, transcripts and
copies of such documents. The
collection information will be used by
the DHS OIG to conduct an audit of
FEMA’s oversight and management of
the Assistance to Firefighters Grant
Program—specifically the Assistance to
Firefighters (AFG) and Staffing for
Adequate Fire and Emergency Response
(SAFER) sub-programs. This
information will be used to respond to

the audit’s objective, which is to
determine the extent to which
Assistance to Firefighter grant recipients
comply with grant requirements and
guidance precluding waste, fraud, and
abuse of grant funds.
The information will be requested in
an email sent to each grantee’s point of
contact information in FEMA’s eGrant
database. DHS Forms 530, 531, and 532
detail the information being collected
from each grantee. Each attachment is
specific to the type of grant awarded.
The email will have one attachment
specific to the grant awarded.
A cover email (Grantee Email from
OIG) provides guidance for submitting
the requested information.
Once the information is collected
from the grantee, the DHS OIG will
analyze this information based on
established criteria to determine if
grantees complied with these criteria to
preclude waste, fraud, and abuse of
grant funds. The information will also
be used to determine if FEMA provided
adequate oversight and monitoring of
these grant programs.
This results of this analysis will be
presented in two audit reports—one for
AFG grants and one for SAFER grants.
These reports will include
recommendations to FEMA based on the
results of the analysis.
The preferred submission method for
collection of this information will be via
electronic mail. However, regular mail
options for hard copies or scanned
copies on electronic media will be
available should the grantee not have
access to the internet.
An email will be sent to the grantee
with the appropriate form for the type
of grant attached. The email (Grantee
Email from OIG) provides guidance to
the grantee on how to respond to this
request.
A specific form will be sent for each
the three types of grants in the sample—
AFG (DHS Form 532), SAFER Hiring
(DHS Form 530), or SAFER Recruitment
and Retention (DHS Form 531). Each
form has questions and document
requests specific to that type of grant.
Each form requests documents that
may be available on the internet. If
information is available on the internet
(for example, grantee procurement
policies) and the grantee provides this
location of this information, the DHS
OIG will download this information
from the Web site.
The burden has been reduced on the
grantee because the DHS OIG is only
requesting information the grantee is
required to retain and does not normally
submit to FEMA including items such
as invoices for items/services
purchased, written procurement

policies and proof of payment to
vendors for items/services purchased.
Grantees are required to maintain
grant records for three years after the
submission of their final expenditure
report. It is estimated that no more than
28 respondents (five percent) will mail
their records to the DHS Office of
Inspector General. The cost to mail a
five pound box of records to the Office
of Inspector General’s Denver Field
Office using the United States Postal
Service’s Standard Post is $14.33. The
estimated total annual cost burden is
$401.24.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
which:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
