ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency

Abstract: The information collection

request for a fire management assistance
declaration is denied, the Governor of a

decision in writing. Applicants are
required to notify FEMA of all benefits,
actual or anticipated, received from
other sources for the same loss for
which they are applying to FEMA for
assistance. Notification can be
accomplished in a letter, accompanied
by supporting documentation. Training
Sessions are provided primarily for
Regional staff and State officials who
administer FMAGP for the purpose of
instructing and updating attendees on
the laws, regulations, policies, and
process that govern the program, as well
as to discuss any program issues. A
State Administrative Plan for FMAGP
must be developed annually by the State
for the administration of fire
management assistance grants. The plan
must describe the procedures for the
administration of FMAGP, designate the
State agency to serve as Grantee, and
ensure State compliance with the
provisions of law and regulation
applicable to fire management
assistance grants. Federal assistance
under Section 420 of the Stafford Act
must be provided in accordance with
the FEMA-State Agreement for FMAGP.
The State Governor and the Regional
Director must sign the Agreement,
which contains the necessary terms and
conditions consistent with the
provisions of applicable laws, executive
