SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Commission on Fire
Prevention and Control conducted a
comprehensive study of the Nation’s fire
problem and recommended to Congress
actions to mitigate the fire problem,
reduce loss of life and property, and
educate the public on fire protection
and prevention. As a result of the study,
Congress enacted Public Law 93–498,
Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act
of 1974, which establishes the U.S. Fire
Administration to administer fire
prevention and control programs,
supplement existing programs of
research, training, and education, and
encourage new and improved programs
and activities by State and local
governments. Section 9(a) of the Act
authorizes the Administrator, U.S. Fire
Administration (USFA), to operate
directly or through contracts or grants,
an integrated, comprehensive method to
select, analyze, publish, and
disseminate information related to
prevention, occurrence, control, and
results of fires of all types.
NFIRS was established in the mid1970s and is mandated by the Federal
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:21 Nov 26, 2019
Jkt 250001
Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974
(Pub. L. (PL) 93–498, as amended)
which authorizes the National Fire Data
Center to gather and analyze
information such as (1) the frequency,
causes, spread, and extinguishment of
fires; (2) injuries and deaths resulting
from fires; (3) information on injuries
sustained by a firefighter; and (4)
information on firefighting activities.
The act further authorizes USFA to
develop uniform data reporting
methods, and to encourage and assist
Federal, State, local and other agencies
in developing and reporting
information. NFIRS is a reporting
standard that fire departments use to
uniformly report on the full range of
their activities, from fire to emergency
medical services to severe weather and
natural disasters. This reporting allows
fire departments, as well as many other
government and non-government
agencies, to quantify their actions and
identify incident and response trends.
This information collection expired
on 04/30/2019. FEMA is requesting a
reinstatement, without change, of a
previously approved information
collection for which approval has
expired.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA’s
Homeland Security Grant Program
(HSGP) supports State and local efforts
to prevent terrorism and other
catastrophic events and to prepare the
Nation for the threats and hazards that
pose the greatest risk to the security of
the United States. The HSGP provides
funding to implement investments that
build, sustain, and deliver the 32 core
capabilities essential to achieving the
National Preparedness Goal (the Goal) of
a secure and resilient Nation. The
building, sustainment, and delivery of
these core capabilities are not exclusive
to any single level of government,
organization, or community, but rather,
require the combined effort of the whole
community. The HSGP supports core
capabilities across the five mission areas
of Prevention, Protection, Mitigation,
Response, and Recovery based on
allowable costs. HSGP is comprised of
three grant programs: State Homeland
Security Program (SHSP), Urban Area
Security Initiative (UASI), and
Operation Stonegarden (OPSG).
Together, these grant programs fund a
range of activities, including planning,
organization, equipment purchase,
training, exercises, and management
and administration across all core
