methylenedioxymethamphetamine from
the drug testing panel, because the
number of positive specimens reported
by HHS-certified laboratories does not
support testing all specimens for MDA
and MDMA in Federal workplace drug
testing programs. Information provided
to the Department through the NLCP in
2021 and 2022 shows the positivity rate
for MDMA ranges from 0.001 to 0.003%,
and a review of the results indicate that
>25% of the positive specimens are
likely agency blind samples. MDA has
a lower positivity rate than MDMA and
both have lower positivity rates than
phencyclidine (PCP). SAMHSA also
considered removing PCP but decided
against this change. While PCP has an
overall positivity rate nearly as low as
MDMA, there are regional differences in
positivity, with some areas of the
country having much higher rates, so
PCP remains a regulated test analyte.
Because MDA and MDMA are Schedule
I drugs, a Federal agency may test
specimens for these analytes in
accordance with Section 3.2 of the
UrMG and OFMG (i.e., on a case-by-case
basis for reasonable suspicion or postaccident testing, or routinely with a
waiver from the Secretary). The Division
of Workplace Programs welcomes
public comment prior to the DTAB
meeting regarding the removal of MDA
and MDMA from the Urine and Oral
Fluid Analyte Table. Please see below
for the process to submit comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Emergency Management
Agency’s (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 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
capabilities and mission areas. The
authorizing authority of the HSGP is
section 2002 of the Homeland Security
Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–296) (See 6
U.S.C. 603–609, as amended).
This revision of the information
collection removes the OPSG Daily
Activity Report, FEMA Form FF–207–
FY–21–113 (formerly 089–0–27) that
was created at the behest of CBP to
fulfill CBP’s requirements under OPSG
and is only used to collection
information from the public by CBP.
FEMA has previously included this
instrument under this collection as a
service to CBP, but including an
instrument used by CBP under a
collection granting FEMA the authority
to collect information does not provide
the proper service to CBP, FEMA or the
public.

Abstract: The Homeland Security
Grant Program (HSGP) is an important
tool among a comprehensive set of
measures to help strengthen the Nation
against risks associated with potential
terrorist attacks. FEMA uses the
information to evaluate applicants’
familiarity with the national
preparedness architecture and identify
how elements of this architecture have
been incorporated into planning,
operations, and investments at the
regional, state and local levels. The
HSGP is a primary funding mechanism
for building and sustaining national
preparedness capabilities. The HSGP is
comprised of three separate grant
programs: the State Homeland Security
Program (SHSP), the Urban Area
Security Initiative (UASI), and
Operation Stonegarden (OPSG).
Together, these grants fund a range of
preparedness activities, including
planning, organization, equipment
purchase, training, exercises, and
management and administration costs.
Affected Public: State, local, or Tribal
governments.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
709.
Estimated Number of Responses: 827.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 319,488.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Cost: $26,821,018.
Estimated Respondents’ Operation
and Maintenance Costs: $0.
Estimated Respondents’ Capital and
Start-Up Costs: $0.
