SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Grants Reporting Tool (GRT) is a webbased reporting system designed to help
State Administrative Agencies (SAAs)
meet all reporting requirements as
identified in the grant guidance of
FEMA’s portfolio of preparedness grants
managed by the FEMA’s Grant Programs
Directorate (GPD).
Title 2 CFR, part 200 (Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for
Federal Awards), establishes uniform
administrative rules for assistance
awards and subawards to state, local,
tribal and territorial (SLTT)
governments. FEMA determined that it
is necessary to automate the grant
reporting process to have consistent
implementation of FEMA grant
administration policies to reduce
duplicative and tedious data entry, to
measure preparedness gains more
effectively, and to streamline
application submission and
management for recipients and
subrecipients.
Title XX of the Homeland Security
Act of 2002 authorizes the Secretary of
Homeland Security, acting through the
FEMA Administrator, to provide grants
to assist SLTT governments in
preventing, preparing for, protecting
against, and responding to acts of

terrorism. Recipients use the GRT to
submit annual investment justifications
and biannual progress reports. Further,
section 2022 of the Homeland Security
Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 612) mandates that
FEMA review grants awarded to states
and high-risk urban areas at least every
two years and requires that recipients
submit annual reports on the use of
funds awarded under sections 2003 or
2004 of the Homeland Security Act of
2002 (6 U.S.C. 604, 605, respectively).
Section 2022 also provides DHS the
authority to have full access to
information regarding activities carried
out under any grant DHS administers.
Additionally, Section 662 of the PostKatrina Emergency Management Reform
Act of 2006 (PKEMRA), as amended,
(Pub. L. 109–295) (6 U.S.C. 762); the
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, as amended
(Pub. L. 93–288) (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.);
the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act
of 1977, as amended (Pub. L. 95–124)
(42 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.); and the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968,
as amended (Pub. L. 90448) (42 U.S.C.
4001 et seq.), authorize FEMA to
administer the Emergency Management
Performance Grant (EMPG) Program.
The primary purpose of the EMPG
program is to provide grants to assist
SLTT emergency management agencies
to implement the National Preparedness
System (NPS) and to support the
National Preparedness Goal of a secure
and resilient nation. Recipients of
funding under this authorization use the
GRT to submit biannual progress
reports.

Register on May 23, 2022, at 87 FR

reinstatement, without change, of a
