SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
102 of the Maritime Transportation

U.S.C. 70107), established the PSGP to
provide for the establishment of a grant
program for a risk-based allocation of
funds to implement Area Maritime
Transportation Security Plans and
facility security plans among port
authorities, facility operators, and State
and local government agencies required
to provide port security services. Before
awarding a grant under the program, the
Secretary shall provide for review and
comment by the appropriate Federal
Maritime Security Coordinators and the
Maritime Administrator. In
administering the grant program, the
Secretary shall take into account
national economic and strategic defense
concerns based upon the most current
risk assessments available.’’ In addition,
any information collected by FEMA for
this program is in accordance with 46
U.S.C. 70107(g), as amended by section
112(c) of the Security and
Accountability For Every (SAFE) Port
Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109–347), which

Collection of Information
Title: FEMA Preparedness Grants:
Port Security Grant Program (PSGP).
Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a currently approved
information collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0114.
FEMA Forms: FEMA Form 089–5,
PSGP Investment Justification.
Abstract: The previous version of
FEMA Form 089–5 is outdated and has
become cumbersome with subsequent
program explanations within the notice
of funding opportunity explaining the
type of information required. The
revised form consolidates the requested
information and provides easy to follow
drop-down boxes to minimize confusion
among applicants, reducing time needed
to collect the information for both
applicants and FEMA, and reducing the
review time by FEMA and federal
partners.
