continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies to take this opportunity to
comment on a reinstatement, without
change, of a previously approved
information collection for which
approval has expired. In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, this notice seeks comments
concerning the collection of information
necessary to implement grants for the
Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA)
program and the Pre-Disaster Mitigation
(PDM) program.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before October 18, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments
on the proposed information collection
to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget. Comments
should be addressed to the Desk Officer
for the Department of Homeland
Security, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, and sent via
electronic mail to oira.submission@
omb.eop.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection
should be made to Director, Records
Management Division, 500 C Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20472, email address
FEMA-Information-CollectionsManagement@fema.dhs.gov or Jennie
Orenstein, Branch Chief, HMA
Division—Grants Policy, (202) 212–
4071.
The FMA
program is authorized by Section 1366
of the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4104c. The
FMA program, under 44 CFR part 79,
provides funding for measures taken to
reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of
flood damage to buildings,
manufactured homes, and other
structures insured under the National
Flood Insurance Program. The BiggertWaters Flood Insurance Reform Act of
2012 (Pub. L. 112–141) eliminated the
Repetitive Flood Claims (RFC) and
Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) programs,
and made significant changes to the
FMA program by consolidating the
former RFC and SRL programs into
FMA. Cost-share requirements were
changed to allow more Federal funds for
properties with repetitive flood claims.
The PDM program is authorized by
Section 203 of the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5133, as
amended by Section 102 of the Disaster
Mitigation Act of 2000, Public Law 106–
390, 114 Stat. 1553. It provides grants

for cost-effective mitigation actions
prior to a disaster event to reduce
overall risks to the population and
structures, while also reducing reliance
on funding from actual disaster
declarations.
In accordance with OMB Circular A–
102, FEMA requires that all parties
interested in receiving FEMA mitigation
grants submit an application package for
grant assistance. Applications and subapplications for the PDM and FMA
programs are submitted via the e-Grants
system. The e-Grants system was
developed and updated to meet the
intent of the e-Government initiative,
authorized by Public Law 106–107. This
initiative required that all government
agencies both streamline grant
application processes and provide for
the means to electronically create,
review, and submit a grant application
via the Internet. Title 2 CFR 200.335,
promulgated in 2013, encourages
Federal awarding agencies and nonFederal entities to, whenever
practicable, collect, transmit, and store
Federal award-related information in
open and machine readable formats
rather than in closed formats or on
paper.
This proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on May 9, 2017 at 82 FR 21548
with a 60-day public comment period.
No public comments were received.
This information collection expired on
June 30, 2017. FEMA is requesting a
reinstatement, without change, of a
previously approved information
collection for which approval has
expired. Although FEMA initially
proposed to revise this information
collection by adding a new Quarterly
Progress Report form, a new form is not
necessary. The e-Grants system already
collects information on the status of
funded FMA/PDM mitigation activities
on a quarterly basis after award. The
information that is collected is limited
to project status, work completed,
number of properties acquired or
relocated, and addresses of properties
acquired or relocated during a given
quarter. Therefore, FEMA is requesting
a reinstatement of the collection without
change. The purpose of this notice is to
notify the public that FEMA will submit
the information collection abstracted
below to the Office of Management and
Budget for review and clearance.
