SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Emergency Management
Agency’s (FEMA’s) Homeland Security
Grant Program (HSGP) supports state,
local, tribal, and territorial governments
efforts to prevent terrorism and prepare
the Nation for the threats and hazards
that pose the greatest risk to the security
of the United States. The HSGP provides
funding to implement investments that
build, sustain, and deliver the 32 core
capabilities essential to achieving the
National Preparedness Goal of a secure
and resilient Nation. The building,
sustainment, and delivery of these core
capabilities are not exclusive to any
single level of government, organization,
or community, but rather, require the
combined effort of the whole
community. The HSGP supports core
capabilities across the five mission areas
of Prevention, Protection, Mitigation,

Response, and Recovery based on
allowable costs. HSGP is comprised of
three grant programs: State Homeland
Security Program (SHSP), Urban Area
Security Initiative (UASI), and
Operation Stonegarden (OPSG).
Together, these grant programs fund a
range of activities, including planning,
organization, equipment purchase,
training, exercises, and management
and administration across all core
capabilities and mission areas. The
authorizing authority of the HSGP is
section 2002 of the Homeland Security
Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–296) (See 6
U.S.C. 603–609, as amended).
This revision of the information
collection removes the OPSG Daily
Activity Report, FEMA Form FF–207–
FY–21–113 (formerly 089–0–27) that
was created at the behest of CBP to
fulfill CBP’s requirements under OPSG
and is only used to collect information
from the public by CBP. FEMA has
previously included this instrument
under this collection as a service to
CBP, but including an instrument used
by CBP under a collection granting
FEMA the authority to collect
information does not provide the proper
service to CBP, FEMA or the public.
This proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on November 17, 2023, at 88
FR 80324 with a 60-day public comment
period. No comments were received.
The purpose of this notice is to notify
the public that FEMA will submit the
information collection abstracted below

for review and clearance.

Abstract: The Homeland Security
Grant Program (HSGP) is an important
tool among a comprehensive set of
measures to help strengthen the Nation
against risks associated with potential
terrorist attacks. FEMA uses the
information to evaluate applicants’
familiarity with the national
preparedness architecture and identify
how elements of this architecture have
been incorporated into planning,
operations, and investments at the
regional, state and local levels. The
HSGP is a primary funding mechanism
for building and sustaining national
preparedness capabilities. The HSGP is
comprised of three separate grant
programs: the State Homeland Security
Program (SHSP), the Urban Area
Security Initiative (UASI), and
Operation Stonegarden (OPSG).
Together, these grants fund a range of
preparedness activities, including
planning, organization, equipment
purchase, training, exercises, and
management and administration costs.
Affected Public: State, local, or Tribal
governments.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
709.
Estimated Number of Responses: 827.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 319,488.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Cost: $26,821,018.
Estimated Respondents’ Operation
and Maintenance Costs: $0.
Estimated Respondents’ Capital and
Start-Up Costs: $0.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to the
Federal Government: $1,628,369.
Comments
Comments may be submitted as

burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through

determinations through issuance of a
Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in
accordance with Federal Regulations.
The currently effective community
number is shown in the table below and
must be used for all new policies and
renewals.
DATES: These flood hazard
determinations will be finalized on the
dates listed in the table below and
revise the FIRM panels and FIS report
in effect prior to this determination for
the listed communities.
From the date of the second
publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local
circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the
community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Insurance and
Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information
may be changed during the 90-day
period.
ADDRESSES: The affected communities
are listed in the table below. Revised
flood hazard information for each
community is available for inspection at
both the online location and the
respective community map repository
address listed in the table below.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in
this notice. However, the online
location and local community map

repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is
available for inspection is provided.
Any request for reconsideration of
flood hazard determinations must be
submitted to the Chief Executive Officer
of the community as listed in the table
below.
The modifications are made pursuant
to section 201 of the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105,
and are in accordance with the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C.
4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65.
The FIRM and FIS report are the basis
of the floodplain management measures
that the community is required either to
adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain
qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
These flood hazard determinations,
together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR
60.3, are the minimum that are required.
They should not be construed to mean
that the community must change any
existing ordinances that are more
stringent in their floodplain
management requirements. The
community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or
pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities. The
flood hazard determinations are in
accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
The affected communities are listed in
the following table. Flood hazard
determination information for each
community is available for inspection at
