One comment from a state agency asked several questions about each instrument in turn and a summary of FEMA’s responses to those questions are below. Question: Who is the intended audience for each of these instruments? FEMA Response: The intended audience is the state, local, Tribal, or territorial governments around the country for the mitigation, management, and control of any declared fire on public or private forest land or grassland that threatens such destruction as would constitute a major disaster. Question: Is the Project Number known at the time these instruments are filled out? FEMA Response: In the FEMA Go system, the project number will be a system-generated data element, auto populated as part of the collection of information process. The Applicant will not need to manually enter a project number when completing the instrument in a web-based interface or in hard copy (if necessary). Question: Is the Recipient the same as Applicant? If so, we suggest using the same terminology. FEMA Response: No. The Recipient is the state, local, Tribal, or territorial government who is awarded an FMAG grant and is accountable for the use of VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:15 Dec 20, 2023 Jkt 262001 the funds provided. This generally includes the state as designated in the FEMA-State Agreement for the FMAG.

For more information regarding the definition of the terms ‘‘Applicant’’ and ‘‘Recipient’’ refer to 44 CFR 204.3—Definitions (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-44/ section-204.3). Question: Are ‘‘Summary Record and Summary Template’’ the same? If so, we suggest using the same terminology. FEMA Response: The summary report and summary template should be the same thing. The Agency will consider whether the language can be standardized or if the summary template will be something the Applicant completes in the web-based system. Question: For the Principal Advisor’s Report’s Prevailing Weather Conditions, is this at the time of the FMAG request? Verbally or in writing? FEMA Response: The prevailing weather can be provided verbally and later confirmed with a written submission from either real time observations when completing the report or through various weatherrelated sources and monitoring agencies. Question: For the Principal Advisor’s Report’s Prediction of Weather and Fire Conditions for the Next 24 Hours (Fire Behavior), are these for the following 24 hours after the request has been made?

A reservation to the United States for ditches and canals constructed by authority of the United States under the Act of August 30, 1890; 3. Valid existing rights issued prior to conveyance; 4. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United States from claims arising out of the patentee’s use, occupancy, or operations on the patented lands; 5. Additional terms and conditions that the authorized officer deems appropriate. The EA, appraisal, maps, and Environmental Site Assessment are available for review (see the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section earlier). Interested parties may submit, in writing, any comments concerning the sale, including notifications of any encumbrances or other claims relating to the parcel, to the address listed earlier (see ADDRESSES). The BLM Colorado State Director will review any adverse comments regarding this direct sale and may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action, in whole or in part.

In addition to the publication in the Federal Register, the BLM will also publish this notice in the Post Independent newspaper and Vail Daily newspaper, once a week for 3 consecutive weeks. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comments, the BLM will make your entire comment—including your personal identifying information— publicly available at any time.
