The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is a primary funding mechanism for building and sustaining national preparedness capabilities. HSGP is comprised of four separate grant programs: the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP), the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), the Metropolitan Medical Response Systems (MMRS), and the Citizen Corps Program (CCP). Together, these grants fund a range of preparedness activities, including planning, organization, equipment purchase, training, exercises, and management and administration costs.
From the last OMB approval, various reporting requirements have been added and removed from the HSGP. The burden hours have decreased from 333,502 hours to 269,579 hours.
For FEMA Forms 089-20 and 089-1, there is no change in annual burden hours. For FEMA Form 089-16, there is a slight increase in the annual hour burden for this form due to revisions to the form.
For FEMA Form 089-16, the current annual hour burden was 22,230 hours, the new hours burden is 22,269 for an increase of 39 annual burden hours.
There has been a decrease in the annual burden hours in this collection due to the removal of the following collection instruments:
UASI Strategy â UASI recipients are no longer required to submit this data as decided by GPD leadership (current burden hours on inventory 33,000).
UAWG Spending Consensus â Recipients are no longer required to submit this data per GPD leadership. It is replaced by the UASI Allocation Methodology (current burden hours on inventory 5,280).
Initial Strategy Implementation Plan (ISIP) â Recipients are no longer required to submit this data per GPD leadership. This collection activity was approved under FEMA OMB Control Number 1660-0117, which expires 1/31/2017.
Preparedness Comprehensive Assessment Support Tool (PrepCAST) â Recipients are no longer required to submit this data per GPD leadership. This collection activity was approved under FEMA OMB Control Number 1660-0087, which expired on 4/30/2016 and was discontinued on 5/12/2016.
The following collection instruments have been added but have not resulted in an increase of the annual burden hours:
Senior Advisory Committee (SAC) Charter â This is a new requirement for HSGP to ensure grant recipients administer and implement projects that involve the entire preparedness community.
SHSP-UASI Pass Through Requirement â This is a new requirement for HSGP to ensure grant recipients transfer at least 80% of awarded grant funds to local jurisdictions.
Critical Emergency Supplies Inventory Plan â This is a new requirement for HSGP and is only required if grant recipients use funds to purchase critical emergency supplies. The Plan ensures supplies are used within the appropriate shelf life and are accounted for.
MAX.Gov: The U.S. Border Patrol, FEMA, Recipients and Sub-recipients will utilize MAX.Gov to facilitate the Campaign Plan/ Fragmented Operation Order submission and approval process.
