Collection of Information
Title: FEMA Preparedness Grants:
Homeland Security Grant Program
(HSGP).
Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a currently approved
collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0125.
FEMA Forms: FEMA Form 089–1,
HSGP Investment Justification; FEMA
Form 089–16, OPSG Operations Order
Report; FEMA Form 089–20, OPSG
Inventory of Operation Orders.
Abstract: The HSGP is an important
tool among a comprehensive set of
measures to help strengthen the Nation
against risks associated with potential
terrorist attacks. DHS/FEMA uses the
information to evaluate applicants’
familiarity with the national
preparedness architecture and identify
how elements of this architecture have
been incorporated into regional/state/
local planning, operations, and
investments. The Homeland Security
Grant Program (HSGP) is a primary
funding mechanism for building and
sustaining national preparedness
capabilities. HSGP is comprised of three
separate grant programs: The State
Homeland Security Program (SHPS), the
Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI),
and the Operation Stonegarden (OPSG).
Together, these grants fund a range of
preparedness activities, including
planning, organization, equipment
purchase, training, exercises, and
management and administration costs.

Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone
designations, and/or the regulatory
floodway (hereinafter referred to as
flood hazard determinations) as shown
on the indicated Letter of Map Revision
(LOMR) for each of the communities
listed in the table below are finalized.
Each LOMR revises the Flood Insurance
Rate Maps (FIRMs), and in some cases
the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports,
currently in effect for the listed
communities. The flood hazard
determinations modified by each LOMR
will be used to calculate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings and
their contents.
DATES: The effective date for each
LOMR is indicated in the table below.
ADDRESSES: Each LOMR is available for
inspection at both the respective
Community Map Repository address
listed in the table below and online
through the FEMA Map Service Center

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final flood hazard
determinations as shown in the LOMRs
for each community listed in the table
below. Notice of these modified flood
hazard determinations has been
published in newspapers of local
circulation and ninety (90) days have
elapsed since that publication. The
Deputy Associate Administrator for
Mitigation has resolved any appeals
resulting from this notification.
The modified flood hazard
determinations are made pursuant to
section 206 of the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105,
and are in accordance with the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C.
4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65.
For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown
and must be used for all new policies
and renewals.
The new or modified flood hazard
determinations are the basis for the
floodplain management measures that
the community is required either to
adopt or to show evidence of being
already in effect in order to remain
qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
These new or modified flood hazard
determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required
by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that
are required. They should not be
construed to mean that the community
must change any existing ordinances
that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements.
The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or
pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities.
These new or modified flood hazard
determinations are used to meet the
