The Federal Emergency Management Agencyâs (FEMAâs) Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) and Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) programs use an automated grant application and management system called FEMA GO. The Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) program and the FMA program also uses an automated grant application and management system called Mitigation (MT) eGrants. The FEMA GO and MT eGrants systems include application information needed to apply for funding under these grant programs. FEMA uses the BRIC Panel Review Form to solicit volunteers from state, local, tribal governments and Other Federal Agencies (OFA), to review applications that are routed to the qualitative panel reviews. The volunteers will review, and score applications based on a pre-determined scoring criteria. The PDM, FMA, and BRIC programs will use the same FEMA Form FF-206-FY-22-151 Quarterly Progress Report (QPR) Form.
There is an increase of 32,000 burden hours due to the addition of four new instruments for Safeguarding Tomorrow RLF, mitigated by the removal of one existing instrument for BRIC.
