concerning the e-Grants application
used to determine whether mitigation
activities proposed for funding meets
eligibility criteria. To better reflect all of
the mitigation grant programs using the
mitigation e-Grants application, the
Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) eGrant Program, the Pre-Disaster
Mitigation (PDM) e-Grant Program and
the Repetitive Flood Claims (RFC) eGrant Program have been combined and

Mitigation Grant Program/e-Grants,
automated application to report to
FEMA on a quarterly basis, certify how
funding is being used and to report on
the progress of mitigation activities
funded under grant awards, made to
Grantees by FEMA. FEMA will use this
system to review the Grantees quarterly
reports to ensure that mitigation grant
activities are progressing on schedule
and to track the expenditure of funds.

Estimated Cost: The total annual
estimated costs to States and tribal
governments for information collection
associated with the mitigation grant
programs is $891,726.36. This
calculation is based on the number of
annual burden hours for wage rates for
Urban and Regional Planners,
responsible for collecting the
information or completing the e-Grants
information at the State level. The cost
for developing e-Grants system is
approximately $4.4 million. System
enhancements will continue into future
years, at an average cost to FEMA of
$750,000 annually in contract costs.
Comments: Written comments are
solicited to (a) evaluate whether the
proposed data collection is necessary for
the proper performance of the agency,
including whether the information shall
have practical utility; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. Comments must be
submitted on or before June 11, 2007.
