Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 173 / Friday, September 8, 2023 / Notices lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 16. The HSGP is a resource among a limited pool of funding for the development of new and sustained capabilities. Given the limited funding, how do you prioritize building new capabilities versus sustaining existing capabilities? A complete answer would provide examples. 17. The HSGP contains an element of the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) that provides the legislative requirement to subaward at least 80% of state funds to local units of government. Do you believe this an adequate measure to help ensure that funds are properly invested for building capabilities? If not, why not? 18. What suggestions do you have for proper alignment and balancing of SHSP funds to build capabilities? 19. What can FEMA and DHS do to help ensure law enforcement needs are met while also balancing the needs of other state and urban area grant recipient stakeholders such as fire and emergency management? 20. The Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Activity (LETPA) program imposes a minimum spend requirement on law enforcement terrorism prevention. How can FEMA and DHS refine LETPA requirement to ensure state and local capabilities to prevent terrorist attacks are being supported? 21. What can FEMA and DHS do to ensure campus law enforcement agencies understand how to access the Homeland Security Grant Program funding, to include Urban Area Security Initiative funding? 22. What can FEMA and DHS do to simplify the grant requirements for applicants and recipients to enhance the Operation Stonegarden Grant Program? (3) Urban Areas Security Initiative Program The Urban Areas Security Initiative Program is subject to the evolving and expanding threat landscape. Threats faced by the nation have changed dramatically over the last twenty years, becoming more dispersed in nature and often carried out by a single individual or small groups using very simple tactics. As a result, risk is no longer concentrated in the largest urban areas; the risk to smaller urban areas has risen, as well. 23. The Urban Areas Security Initiative Program must address this new threat environment, both in terms of eligible urban areas and risk-based funding allocations. Please provide your input on how this can best be accomplished without undermining the progress made over the past 20 years in building capacity to prevent, protect, and respond to terrorist acts. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:30 Sep 07, 2023 Jkt 259001 62101 (4) Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) notice do not bind FEMA to any further actions related to the response. 24. Do you find the current EMPG work plan template preferable to the previous narrative format? 25. How much does the 50% cost share/match, which requires that the federal share applied toward the EMPG Program be no more than 50% of the total budget, factor into the State Administrative Agency’s ability and approach to pass through EMPG funding to subrecipients? Deanne Criswell, Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency. C. 2021 Request for Information Follow Up Questions [OMB Control Number 1615–0017] FEMA released an RFI in April 2021 to receive input from the public on specific FEMA programs, regulations, collections of information, and policies for the agency to consider modifying, streamlining, expanding or repealing in light of Executive Order 13985, ‘‘Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government’’, among executive actions. The questions in this Simplifying FEMA Preparedness Grants 2023 RFI expands on the 2021 RFI feedback, and explores opportunities to identify and redress potential inequities in how partners access, apply and receive preparedness grant funds. The 2021 RFI identified areas for improving the NSGP Investment Justification (IJ) process. As another example, one commentator suggested that communities that meet the small, impoverished community definition could use simpler forms or receive direct assistance from FEMA staff or FEMA-hired contractors to prepare the grant application. 1. What steps can FEMA take to improve the application process for our preparedness suite of grant programs? 2. How can FEMA better engage with underserved communities about national preparedness initiatives and grant programs? 3. Are there entities that are excluded from preparedness grant programs that could meet the priorities of one or more programs and provide a benefit to their community? Please provide the name of the grant program(s), entity type and how they can support a priority of the program(s). 4. How does your organization capture data on underserved communities serviced with preparedness grant resources? FEMA notes that this notice is issued solely for information and programplanning purposes.
