AGENCY:
Notice; 60-day notice and
request for comments; Revision of a
currently approved collection, OMB
Number 1660–0058, FEMA Form 90–58;
FEMA Form 90–133; FEMA Form 90–

ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency
Management Agency, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, invites the
public and other Federal agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on a
continuing information collection. In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, this notice seeks
comments concerning information
collections required for Fire
Management Assistance Grant Program
(FMAGP) eligibility determinations,
grants management, and compliance
with other Federal laws and regulations.
FMAGP
was established under Section 420 of
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act, 42
U.S.C. 5187, as amended by section 303
of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000,
and authorizes the President to provide
assistance to any State or local
government for the mitigation,
management, and control of any fire on
public or private forest land or grassland
that threatens such destruction as would
constitute a major disaster. Title 44 CFR
Part 204 specifies the information
collections necessary to facilitate the
provision of assistance under the Fire
Management Assistance Grant Program.

Form Numbers: FEMA Form 90–58,
Request for Fire Management Assistance
Declaration; FEMA Form 90–133,
Request for Fire Management Assistance
Subgrant; FEMA Form 90–32, Principal
Advisor’s Report.
Abstract: The information collection
is used by both State and FEMA
Regional staff to facilitate the
declaration request and grant
administration processes of FMAGP, as
well as end of year internal reporting of
overall declaration requests and
estimated grant outlays. When a State’s
request for a fire management assistance
declaration is denied, the Governor of a
State or Governor’s Authorized
Representative (GAR) may appeal the
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
