FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Abigail Bordeaux, Management &
Program Analyst, FEMA, Grant
Programs Directorate, at (202) 786–0872.
You may contact the Records
Management Division for copies of the
proposed collection of information at
email address: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This form
was developed to collect required
information as part of the
implementation of Executive Order
13688: Federal Support for Local Law
Enforcement Equipment Acquisition,
issued January 16, 2015, which
established a Prohibited Equipment List
and a Controlled Equipment List and
identified actions that can improve
Federal support for the appropriate use,
acquisition, and transfer of controlled
equipment by state, local, tribal,
territorial, and private grant recipients.
One of the requirements of the report is
to collect information on the grant
recipient, their policies, training, record
keeping, and detailed justification on
why that type of requested information
is needed. In considering the approach
to implementing these
recommendations, FEMA’s Grant
Programs Directorate worked hard to
balance the requirement to collect the
information, and the effort required by
the grant recipients. The proposed form
includes only fields required to comply
with the recommendations (which were
accepted by the President). The fillable
nature of the form reduces the amount
of time and effort required for grant
recipients.
In accordance with Executive Order
13688: Federal Support for Local Law
Enforcement Equipment Acquisition,
and the Recommendations Pursuant to
Executive Order 13688, all Federal
equipment acquisition programs must
require grant recipients that apply for
controlled equipment to provide
mandatory information in their
application, including a detailed
justification with a clear and persuasive
explanation of the need for the
controlled equipment, the availability of
the requested controlled equipment to
recipient in its inventory or through
other means, certifications that
appropriate protocols and training
requirements have been adopted,
evidence of the civilian governing
body’s review and approval or
concurrence of the entity’s acquisition
of the requested controlled equipment,
and whether the entity has been or is in
violation of civil rights and other

statutes, regulations, or programmatic
terms. Ongoing coordination among the
various Federal agencies will ensure
that a uniform process is in place to
assess the adequacy of the justification
in each application. This coordination
includes sharing of required information
to prohibit duplication of grant funding
for controlled equipment or potentially
granting of funding for controlled
equipment to an entity that has been
sanctioned by another agency.

severity and magnitude to warrant a major

‘‘Stafford Act’’). Therefore, I declare that such
a major disaster exists in the State of

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds
available for these purposes such amounts as
you find necessary for Federal disaster
