Section 102 of the Maritime
Transportation Security Act of 2002, as amended (46 U.S.C. §
70107), authorizes the PSGP to provide for the risk-based
allocation of funds to implement Area Maritime Transportation
Security Plans and facility security plans among port authorities,
facility operators, and State and local government agencies
required to provide port security services and to train law
enforcement personnel under 46 U.S.C. § 70132. Before awarding a
grant under the program, the Secretary for Homeland Security shall
provide for review and comment by the appropriate Federal Maritime
Security Coordinators and the Maritime Administrator. In
administering the grant program, the Secretary shall take into
account national economic, energy, and strategic defense concerns
based upon the most current risk assessments available.
FEMA estimates a decrease of 54
burden hours from the discontinuation of the PSGP – MOU or MOA
template, which is offset by an increase of 50 burden hours from
the introduction of FEMA Form FF-207-FY-23-110, GPD-Extension. This
gives an overall decrease of 4 burden hours. FEMA estimates a
decrease in annual cost burden of $4,426 from the discontinuation
of the PSGP MOU or MOA template; an increase of $4,191 from the
introduction of FEMA Form FF-207-FY-23-110, GPD-Extension, and an
increase of $32,149 from an increase of wages for FEMA Forms
FF-207-FY-23-110, PSGP IJ and FF-207-FY-23-110, GPD-PR ($31,601 +
$548 = $32,149). This gives an overall increase in cost burden of
$27,723.
