Section 102 of the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002, as amended (46 U.S.C. § 70107), authorizes the PSGP to provide for the 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 and to train law enforcement personnel under 46 U.S.C. § 70132. Before awarding a grant under the program, the Secretary for Homeland Security 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, energy, and strategic defense concerns based upon the most current risk assessments available.
FEMA estimates a decrease of 54 burden hours from the discontinuation of the PSGP â MOU or MOA template, which is offset by an increase of 50 burden hours from the introduction of FEMA Form FF-207-FY-23-110, GPD-Extension. This gives an overall decrease of 4 burden hours.
FEMA estimates a decrease in annual cost burden of $4,426 from the discontinuation of the PSGP MOU or MOA template; an increase of $4,191 from the introduction of FEMA Form FF-207-FY-23-110, GPD-Extension, and an increase of $32,149 from an increase of wages for FEMA Forms FF-207-FY-23-110, PSGP IJ and FF-207-FY-23-110, GPD-PR ($31,601 + $548 = $32,149). This gives an overall increase in cost burden of $27,723.
