The SAFER program provides funding for the hiring of new firefighters and the recruitment and retention of volunteer firefighters. The SAFER objective is to provide funding directly to fire departments for the purpose of increasing the number of firefighters to help communities meet industry minimum standards and attain 24-hour staffing to provide adequate protection from fire and fire-related hazards, and to fulfill traditional missions of fire departments that antedate the creation of the FEMA grant funds are available in two activities: Hiring Firefighters and Recruitment and Retention of Volunteer Firefighters. The FEMA Forms are used to objectively evaluate each of the anticipated applicants to determine which of the applicants' proposals in each of the activities are the closest to the established program priorities.

There is a significant decrease in the number of respondents from 3,200 to 2,330. We attribute this decrease to a reduction in available funding, and, as a result, a reduction in the amount of awards granted. The decrease in respondents results in a 9006 hour adjustment to the burden hours. The FEMA Form 087-0-0-2, Quarterly Performance Report and Payment Request has been added to this ICR due to the requirement for grant recipients to complete this form during the grant cycle. There is a program increase of 880 burden hours due to the addition of this form. Combining the program increase and adjusted decrease of results in a total decrease of 8,126 annual burden hours.
