Duane Davis, Section Chief, FEMA,
Grant Programs Directorate, 202–680–
4060, [email protected]. You
may contact the Records Management
Division for copies of the proposed
collection of information at email
address: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
102 of the Maritime Transportation
Security Act of 2002, as amended (46
U.S.C. 70107), established the PSGP to
provide for the establishment of a grant
program for a risk-based allocation of
funds to implement Area Maritime
Transportation Security Plans and
facility security plans among port
authorities, facility operators, and State
and local government agencies required
to provide port security services. Before
awarding a grant under the program, the
Secretary shall provide for review and
comment by the appropriate Federal
Maritime Security Coordinators and the
Maritime Administrator. In
administering the grant program, the
Secretary shall take into account
national economic and strategic defense
concerns based upon the most current
risk assessments available.’’ In addition,
any information collected by FEMA for
this program is in accordance with 46
U.S.C. 70107(g), as amended by section
112(c) of the Security and
Accountability For Every (SAFE) Port
Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109–347), which
states: ‘‘Any entity subject to an Area
Maritime Transportation Security Plan
may submit an application for a grant
under this section, at such time, in such
form, and containing such information
and assurances as the Secretary may
require.’’
Collection of Information
Title: FEMA Preparedness Grants:
Port Security Grant Program (PSGP).
Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a currently approved
information collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0114.
FEMA Forms: FEMA Form 089–5,
PSGP Investment Justification.
Abstract: The previous version of
FEMA Form 089–5 is outdated and has
become cumbersome with subsequent
program explanations within the notice
of funding opportunity explaining the
type of information required. The
revised form consolidates the requested
information and provides easy to follow
drop-down boxes to minimize confusion
among applicants, reducing time needed
to collect the information for both
applicants and FEMA, and reducing the
review time by FEMA and federal
partners.

Everett Yuille, Branch Chief, FEMA,

Management Division for copies of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 2
CFR, Part 200 (Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and
Audit Requirements for Federal
Awards), establishes uniform
administrative rules for assistance
awards and sub-awards 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
Recipients, 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
Grants Reporting Tool (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
Emergency Management Reform Act of
2006, Public Law 109–295) to have
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.
Collection of Information
Title: FEMA’s Grants Reporting Tool
(GRT).
Type of Information Collection:
Extension, without change, of a
currently approved information
collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0117.
FEMA Forms: None.
