Assistance (FMA); Building Resilient
Infrastructure and Communities
(BRIC); Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM)
Federal Emergency
Management Agency, DHS
ACTION: 60 Day Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
invites the general public to take this
opportunity to comment on a revision of
a currently approved information
collection. In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice seeks comments concerning
FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance
(HMA) grant programs. While this
information collection continues to
include the Flood Mitigation Assistance
(FMA) program, it includes updates to
(1) introduce the Building Resilient
Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC)
program; and (2) establish the PreDisaster Mitigation (PDM) program as a
legacy program. Under the FEMA’s
HMA grant programs, States, local
communities, Tribes, and Territories
(SLTTs) seek assistance to support
disaster mitigation and provide
opportunities to reduce or eliminate
potential losses to SLTTs.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before December 28,
2020.
SUMMARY:

Submit comments at
www.regulations.gov under Docket ID
FEMA–2020–0035. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.
All submissions received must
include the agency name and Docket ID,

information makes it public. You may
wish to read the Privacy and Security
Notice that is available via a link on the
homepage of www.regulations.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Jennie Orenstein, Grants Policy Branch
Chief, FIMA, FEMA, (202) 212–4071.
You may contact the Records
Management Division for copies of the
proposed collection of information at
email address: FEMA-InformationCollections-Management@fema.dhs.gov.
This
collection of information is necessary to
implement grants for the Flood
Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program,
Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM), and
Building Resilient Infrastructure and
Communities (BRIC) program.
The FMA program is authorized
pursuant to Section 1366 of the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C.
4104c. The FMA program, under 44 CFR
part 79, provides funding for measures
taken to reduce or eliminate the longterm risk of flood damage to buildings,
manufactured homes, and other
structures insured under the National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). FMA
was created as part of the National
Flood Insurance Reform Act (NFIRA) of
1994, Public Law 103–325. The BiggertWaters Flood Insurance Reform Act of
2012 (BW–12), Public Law 112–141,
consolidated the Repetitive Flood
Claims (RFC) and Severe Repetitive Loss
grant (SRL) programs into FMA, and
changed the cost-share requirements
under FMA to allow more Federal funds
for properties with repetitive flood
claims.
The PDM program was authorized
under Section 203 of the Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act (Stafford Act), Public
Law 93–288, 42 U.S.C. 5133, as
amended by Section 102 of the Disaster
Mitigation Act of 2000, Public Law 106–
390. The PDM program provided 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. Section 1234 of the
Disaster Recovery Reform Act of 2018
(DRRA) amended Section 203 of the
Stafford Act to authorize an updated
program. As a result, FEMA is replacing
the PDM program with the BRIC
program and is establishing PDM as a
legacy program. While the last cycle of
the PDM program awards were made in
Fiscal Year (FY) 2019, this information
collection will continue through FY
2020–2021 for grant monitoring and
closeout.

Jkt 253001

The BRIC program is designed to
promote a national culture of
preparedness and public safety through
encouraging investments to protect the
Nation’s communities and infrastructure
and through strengthening national
mitigation capabilities to foster
resilience. The BRIC program seeks to
fund effective and innovative projects
that will reduce risk, increase resilience,
and serve as a catalyst to encourage the
whole community to invest in and
adopt policies related to mitigation.
The guiding principles of the BRIC
program are to (1) support State and
local governments, Tribes, and
territories through capability and
capacity-building to enable them to
identify mitigation actions and
implement projects that reduce risks
posed by natural hazards; (2) encourage
and enable innovation while allowing
flexibility, consistency, and
effectiveness; (3) promote partnerships
and enable high-impact investments to
reduce risk from natural hazards with a
focus on critical services and facilities,
public infrastructure, public safety,
public health, and communities; (4)
provide a significant opportunity to
reduce future losses and minimize
impacts on the Disaster Relief Fund; and
(5) support the adoption and
enforcement of building codes,
standards, and policies that will protect
the health, safety, and general welfare of
the public, take into account future
conditions, and have long-lasting
impacts on community risk reduction,
including for critical services and
facilities and for future disaster costs.
The BRIC program will distribute funds
annually and apply a Federal/nonFederal cost share.
In accordance with 2 CFR 200.203,
FEMA requires that all parties interested
in receiving FEMA mitigation grants
submit an application package for grant
assistance. Applications and
subapplications for the BRIC and FMA
programs are submitted via the FEMA
Grants Outcome (FEMA GO) system.
Information necessary for the ongoing
monitoring and closeout of the PDM
program for FY 2019 and prior will be
collected via the e-Grants system. The
FEMA GO and e-Grants systems have
been developed to meet the intent of the
e-Government initiative, authorized by
Public Law 106–107. This initiative
requires 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.
In order to increase transparency in
decision-making while building
capability and partnerships, FEMA will
convene a National Review Panel to

score applications and subapplications
based on qualitative evaluation criteria.
The qualitative criteria are narrative
submissions to allow applicants and
subapplicants the flexibility to fully
explain the strengths of the proposed
project. Qualitative evaluation criteria
have graded scales of point scoring.
The BRIC program will solicit
volunteers from SLTTs and Other
Federal Agencies (OFAs) to review
applications that are routed to the
qualitative panel reviews. The
volunteers will review and score
applications based on a pre-determined
scoring criteria.

II. Background
To help us carry out our conservation
responsibilities for affected species, and
in consideration of section 10(c) of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),
we invite public comments on permit
applications before final action is taken.
With some exceptions, the ESA
prohibits certain activities with listed
species unless Federal authorization is
issued that allows such activities.
Permits issued under section 10(a)(1)(A)
of the ESA allow otherwise prohibited
activities for scientific purposes or to
enhance the propagation or survival of
the affected species. Service regulations
regarding prohibited activities with
endangered species, captive-bred
wildlife registrations, and permits for
any activity otherwise prohibited by the
ESA with respect to any endangered
species are available in title 50 of the
Code of Federal Regulations in part 17.
III. Permit Applications
We invite comments on the following
applications.
