SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Commission on Fire
Prevention and Control conducted a
comprehensive study of the Nation’s fire
problem and recommended to Congress
actions to mitigate the fire problem,
reduce loss of life and property, and
educate the public on fire protection
and prevention. As a result of the study,
Congress enacted Public Law 93–498,
Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act
of 1974, which establishes the U.S. Fire
Administration (USFA) to administer
fire prevention and control programs,
supplement existing programs of
research, training, and education, and
encourage new and improved programs
and activities by state and local
governments. Section 9(a) of the Act
authorizes the USFA Administrator to
operate directly or through contracts or
grants an integrated, comprehensive
method to select, analyze, publish, and
disseminate information related to
prevention, occurrence, control, and
results of fires of all types. The National
Fire Incident Reporting Systems
(NFIRS) was established in the mid1970s and is mandated by the Federal
Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974
which authorizes the National Fire Data
Center to gather and analyze
information such as: (1) the frequency,
causes, spread, and extinguishment of
fires; (2) injuries and deaths resulting
from fires; (3) information on injuries
sustained by a firefighter; and (4)
information on firefighting activities.
The act further authorizes USFA to
develop uniform data reporting
methods, and to encourage and assist
Federal, state, local and other agencies
in developing and reporting

information. NFIRS is a reporting
standard that fire departments use to
uniformly report on the full range of
their activities, from fire to emergency
medical services to severe weather and
natural disasters. This reporting allows
fire departments, as well as many other
government and non-government
agencies, to quantify their actions and
identify incident and response trends.
Recent modernization to the data
collection improved and therefore
reduced the burden hours for reporting
data to NFIRS. FEMA is requesting a
revision of this information collection.
This proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on December 9, 2022, at 87 FR

period. No comments were received.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
404 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act,
42 U.S.C. 5170c, authorizes the Hazard
Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP).
Program grant requirements and grants
management procedures are outlined in
44 CFR part 206 Subpart N, and 2 CFR
parts 200 and 3002. The Federal
Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) administers the HMGP, and
Recipients implement the grants under
the HMPG per grant agreement, rules,
and regulations. The HMGP is a postdisaster program that contributes funds
toward the cost of hazard mitigation
activities to reduce the risk of future
damage, hardship, loss or suffering in
any area affected by a major disaster or
any area affected by a fire for which
assistance was provided under section
420 of the Stafford Act (42 U.S.C. 5187).
Section 102 of the Stafford Act (42
U.S.C. 5122(4)) defines a ‘‘state’’ as any
state of the United States, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin
Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and
the commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands. ‘‘Recipient’’, as
provided in 2 CFR 200, means a nonFederal entity that receives a Federal
award directly from a Federal awarding
agency to carry out an activity under a
Federal program, or an Indian tribal
government that chooses to act as a
recipient rather than as a subrecipient.
‘‘Subrecipient’’ refers to a non-Federal
entity that receives a subaward from a
pass-through entity to carry out part of
a Federal program; but does not include
an individual that is a beneficiary of
