Federal Emergency

ACTION: Notice; 60-day notice and
request for comments; this is an
extension of a currently approved
collection, OMB No. 1660–0103.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on this
information collection. In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, this notice seeks comments
concerning the Property Acquisition
and Relocation for Open Space process
as part of the administration of FEMA’s
mitigation grant programs.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Rules
implementing Property Acquisition and
Relocation for Open Space as published
at 44 CFR part 80 on October 31, 2007
in the Federal Register as an interim
rule govern property acquisitions for the
creation of open space under all of
FEMA mitigation grant programs
authorized under both the Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C.
PO 00000

Sfmt 4703
5121–5206, and the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42
U.S.C. 4001 et seq. Acquisition and
relocation of property for open space
use is one of the most common
mitigation activities, and is an eligible
activity type authorized for Federal
grant funds under all of FEMA
mitigation grant programs. FEMA
mitigation grant programs require all
properties acquired with FEMA funds to
be deed restricted and maintained as
open space in perpetuity. This ensures
that no future risks from hazards occur
to life or structures on that property,
and no future disaster assistance or
insurance payments are made as a result
of damages to that property. This
extension of a currently approved
collection of information is necessary to
establish uniform requirements for State
and local implementation of acquisition
activities, and to enforce open space
maintenance and monitoring
requirements for properties acquired
with FEMA mitigation grant funds. The
interim rule published on October 31,
2007 included a conforming amendment
to the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
to refer to the new part 80 for
acquisition and relocation activities,
and removed 44 CFR 206.434(f),
pertaining to the inapplicability of the
Uniform Relocation Act.
Collection of Information
Title: Property Acquisition and
Relocation for Open Space.
Type of Information Collection:
Extension of a currently approved
collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0103.

Abstract: FEMA and State and local
recipients of FEMA mitigation grant
programs will use the information
collected to meet the Property
Acquisition requirements to implement
acquisition activities under the terms of
grant agreements for acquisition and
relocation activities. FEMA and State/

the mitigation planning requirements
