In efforts to examine the impact of
its actions on the environment, look at potential alternatives to
that action, inform both decision-makers and the public of those
impacts through a transparent process, and pursue mitigation if
necessary, grant recipients need to provide information that their
actions will comply with all related laws and regulations.
There has been no change to the
information being collected. However, there has been a decreased in
the number of respondents and annual burden hours due to a decrease
in grant funding over the past two grant years. FEMA Form 024-0-1
had a few minor changes. Two statements have been removed due to
new policy documents which supersede the Information Bulletins;
FEMA EHP Instruction 108-1-1 and DHS Instruction Manual
023-01-001-01.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
