Division—Grants Policy, (202) 212–

Management Division for copies of the
proposed collection of information at
email address: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FMA
program is authorized by Section 1366
of the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4104c. The
FMA program, under 44 CFR part 79,
provides funding for measures taken to
reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of
flood damage to buildings,
manufactured homes, and other
structures insured under the National
Flood Insurance Program. The BiggertWaters Flood Insurance Reform Act of
2012 (Pub. L. 112–141) eliminated the
Repetitive Flood Claims (RFC) and
Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) programs,
and made significant changes to the
FMA program by consolidating the
former RFC and SRL programs into
FMA. Cost-share requirements were
changed to allow more Federal funds for
properties with repetitive flood claims.
The PDM program is authorized by
Section 203 of the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5133, as
amended by Section 102 of the Disaster
Mitigation Act of 2000, Public Law 106–
390, 114 Stat. 1553. It provides grants
for cost-effective mitigation actions
prior to a disaster event to reduce
overall risks to the population and
structures, while also reducing reliance
on funding from actual disaster
declarations.
In accordance with OMB Circular A–
102, FEMA requires that all parties
interested in receiving FEMA mitigation
grants submit an application package for
grant assistance. Applications and
subapplications for the PDM and FMA

programs are submitted via the e-Grants
system. The e-Grants system was
developed and updated to meet the
intent of the e-Government initiative,
authorized by Public Law 106–107. This
initiative required that all government
agencies both streamline grant
application processes and provide for
the means to electronically create,
review, and submit a grant application
via the Internet. Title 2 CFR 200.335,
promulgated in 2013, encourages
Federal awarding agencies and nonFederal entities to, whenever
practicable, collect, transmit, and store
Federal award-related information in
open and machine readable formats
rather than in closed formats or on
paper.
FEMA is proposing to add a new form
to this collection to better provide
customer-centric clarity and uniformity
in the way FEMA collects information
on the progress of FMA/PDM-funded
hazard mitigation projects. The new
‘‘Non-Disaster Quarterly Progress
Report’’ form will replace the obsolete
SF–425. Title 2 CFR 200.328 authorizes
the collection of information on the
progress of activities conducted under
Federal awards.
Collection of Information
Title: Mitigation Grant Programs/eGrants.
Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a currently approved
information collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0072.
FEMA Forms: A FEMA Form number
for the new Non-Disaster Quarterly
Progress Report form is currently
pending.
Abstract: FEMA’s Flood Mitigation
Assistance and Pre-Disaster Mitigation
programs utilize an automated grant
application and management system
called e-Grants. These grant programs
provide funding for the purpose of
reducing or eliminating the risks to life
and property from hazards. The e-Grants
system includes all of the application
information needed to apply for funding
under these grant programs.
Affected Public: State, local or Tribal
government.
Number of Respondents: 56.
Number of Responses: 4,200.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 18,088.
Estimated Cost: The estimated annual
cost to respondents is $893,366. The
estimated annual cost to the Federal
government is $6,598,456.16. There are
no annual recordkeeping, capital, startup, or operation and maintenance costs
to respondents associated with this
collection of information.
