SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title 44 CFR, part 13, Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Government, establishes uniform administrative rules for Federal grants and cooperative agreements and sub-awards to State, local and Indian tribal governments. FEMA has determined that in order to have consistent implementation of FEMA grant administration policies and to minimize the administrative disruption for State and local partners, it is necessary to standardize FEMA grant administration forms used in FEMA grant programs. The forms are designed to collect information of an administrative or financial nature. With Nondisaster (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 for the means to electronically create, review, and submit a grant application via the Internet.

Collection of Information

Title: FEMA Grants Administration/ND Grants System.

Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved information collection.

OMB Number: 1660-0025.

Form Titles and Numbers: FEMA Form 20-15, Budget Information—Construction; 20-16, 20-16A, 20-16B, 20-16C, Summary Sheet for Assurances and Certifications; 20-17, Outlay Report and Request for Reimbursement for Construction Program; 20-18, Report of Government Property; 20-19, Reconciliation of Grants and Cooperative Agreements; 20-20, Budget Information—Non-construction; 76-10, Obligating Document for Award/Amendment; 089-9, Detailed Budget Worksheet.

Abstract: The grant programs included in this collection are important tools among a comprehensive set of measures to help strengthen the Nation against risk associated with potential terrorist attacks, natural and other disasters, as well as to plan and implement mitigation efforts to prevent such occurrences. FEMA uses the information to evaluate applications for grants for various disaster related and non-disaster grant opportunities which it administers. FEMA is also implementing the use of the ND Grants System to electronically accept grant applications from a subset of all non-disaster grants currently administered by FEMA with the intention of expanding this function to other non-disaster grants as soon as possible.

Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Governments; Not-for-profit institutions; Business or other for-profit.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,072,220 Hours.
