Collection of Information

Title: FEMA Preparedness Grants: Driver's License Security Grant Program (DLSGP).

Type of Information Collection: New information collection.

OMB Number: 1660-NEW.

Form Titles and Numbers: FEMA Form—None.

Abstract: The DLSGP information is needed 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 DLSGP Program Narrative and Program Management Capabilities Work Plan provide the State with a Driver's License Security Grant Program implementation roadmap and tells the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) how grant funding will be used. The Program Narrative is a separate document from the Program Management Capabilities Work Plan, both of which help to assess program implementation potential and a State's management procedures and capabilities. The Program Narrative and the Program Management Capabilities Work Plan are required upon grant application and are reviewed by FEMA and the DHS Policy Office to determine funding decisions and assists with project oversight.

Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 56.

Frequency of Response: On occasion.

Estimated Average Hour Burden per Respondent: 3 hours.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 168 hours.

Estimated Cost: There are no annual reporting or recordkeeping costs associated with this collection.
