SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA's Homeland Security Grant Program 
(HSGP) supports state and local efforts to prevent terrorism and other 
catastrophic events and to 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 31 core capabilities essential to achieving 
the National Preparedness Goal (the 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, as amended (Pub. L. 107-296), (6 U.S.C. 603).

Collection of Information

    Title: FEMA Preparedness Grants: Homeland Security Grant Program

    Abstract: The HSGP is an important tool among a comprehensive set

potential terrorist attacks. DHS/FEMA uses the information to evaluate 
applicants' familiarity with the national preparedness architecture and 
identify how elements of this architecture have been incorporated into 
regional/state/local planning, operations, and investments. 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).
