Response, and Recovery based on
allowable costs. HSGP is comprised of
three grant programs: State Homeland

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).

from the public by CBP. FEMA has
previously included this instrument
under this collection as a service to
CBP, but including an instrument used

FEMA the authority to collect

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

specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in
this notice. However, the online
location and local community map
repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is
available for inspection is provided.
Any request for reconsideration of
flood hazard determinations must be
submitted to the Chief Executive Officer
of the community as listed in the table
below.
The modifications are made pursuant
to section 201 of the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105,
and are in accordance with the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C.
4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65.
The FIRM and FIS report are the basis
of the floodplain management measures
that the community is required either to
adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain
qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
These flood hazard determinations,
together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR
60.3, are the minimum that are required.
They should not be construed to mean
that the community must change any
existing ordinances that are more
stringent in their floodplain
management requirements. The
community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or
pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities. The
flood hazard determinations are in
accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
The affected communities are listed in
the following table. Flood hazard
determination information for each
community is available for inspection at
