[Docket ID FEMA 2014–0021]
Notice of Intent To Prepare a
Programmatic Environmental
Assessment and Notice of Public
Scoping Period; Wildfire Mitigation
Programmatic Environmental
Assessment
Federal Emergency
Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) is
proposing to prepare a programmatic
environmental assessment (PEA) to
evaluate the potential beneficial and
adverse impacts from eligible wildfire
mitigation activities funded under the
Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
(HMGP) and Pre-Disaster Mitigation
(PDM) Program. This PEA will evaluate
the environmental impacts of
continuing to fund eligible activities
under these programs (Proposed
Action). FEMA anticipates that this
programmatic approach will result in
better decision-making, and will
improve the timeliness and efficiency of
environmental reviews. The
identification of specific activities that
would not require additional
environmental review, along with
project-specific reviews informed by or
‘‘tiered to’’ the PEA, will improve
efficiency by helping to streamline the
process of environmental review.
FEMA provides this notice to advise
other Federal and State agencies,
Territories, Indian Tribal Governments,
local governments, private non-profit
and other non-governmental
organizations, and the public of our
intent to prepare a PEA, to provide
information on the nature of the
analysis, and to invite public input on
the scope of issues, proposed
alternatives, potential effects and
measures to lessen those effects that
may be considered. Agencies, interested
parties, and the public are invited to
submit comments on the scope of the
PEA at any time during the public
comment period.
DATES: Comments must be received by
August 18, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Comments must be
identified by Docket ID FEMA–2014–
0021 and may be submitted by the
following method:

II. Background
The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford
Act), 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq., authorizes
FEMA to provide funding for the
purpose of reducing or eliminating risks
to human life and property from future
hazard events, such as wildfire.
Wildfires are defined as any
uncontrolled fires occurring within
natural landscapes such as forests and
brush. FEMA funds wildfire mitigation
activities through two programs: the
Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) program
(authorized by Section 203 of the
Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5133) and the
Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
(HMGP) (authorized by Section 404 of
the Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5170c).
Through these programs, FEMA
provides grants to local governments,
private non-profit organizations,
Territories, Indian Tribal Governments,
