Collection of Information

    Title: FEMA Preparedness Grants: Homeland Security Grant Program 
(HSGP).
    Type of information collection: Revision of a currently approved 
information collection.
    OMB Number: 1660-0125.
    Form Titles and Numbers: FEMA Form 089-1, HSGP Investment 
Justification (SHSP and UASI); FEMA Form 089-16, OPSG Operations Order 
Report; FEMA Form 089-20, OPSG Inventory of Operation Orders; FEMA Form 
089-0-27, Operation Stonegarden Daily Activity Report (DAR).
    Abstract: The HSGP is an important tool among a comprehensive set 
of measures to help strengthen the Nation against risks associated with 
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 SHSP, the UASI, and OPSG. Together, these 
grants fund a range of preparedness activities, including planning, 
organization, equipment purchase, training, exercises, and management 
and administration costs. The OPSG will begin to utilize the Office of 
Management and Budget's web-based portal MAX.GOV, at https://www.MAX.GOV/, for operational management of the grant program. The HSGP 
now requires applicants to submit the SAFECOM Compliance Letter, which 
has been added to this collection. The compliance letter certifies that 
the applicant will comply with SAFECOM Guidance when implementing 
interoperable communications projects. The letter will be attached in 
the Non-Disaster Grants Management System as part of the HSGP 
application.
    Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 664.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 269,579 hours.
    Estimated Cost: The estimated annual cost to respondents for the 
hour burden is $16,587,196. There are no annual costs to respondents' 
operations and maintenance costs for technical services. There are no 
annual start-up or capital costs. The cost to the Federal Government is 
$2,022,270.
