SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 2 CFR, Part 200, Uniform 
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principals, and Audit Requirements 
for Federal Awards, establishes uniform administrative requirements, 
cost principles, and audit requirements for FEMA. In order to minimize 
the administrative burden for State and local partners to manage 
grants, it is necessary to standardize FEMA's grant administration 
processes. Currently, FEMA relies on multiple separate grants 
management systems and manual processes to perform its grants 
management functions. FEMA is revising this collection of information 
by fully integrating and automating these systems through ND Grants 
(https://portal.fema.gov), through which FEMA will implement a single, 
integrated, web-based, grants data collection and management system. 
With ND Grants, FEMA seeks to meet the intent of the E-Government 
initiative, authorized by Public Law 106-107, passed on November 20, 
1999, that requires that all government agencies both streamline grant 
application processes and provide a mechanism to electronically create, 
review, and submit a grant application via the Internet.

hour burden is $988,053.43. There are no annual costs to respondents 
operations and maintenance costs for technical services. There is no 
annual start-up or capital costs. The cost to the Federal Government is 
$8,244,902.03.
