or other material that relate to programs and operations with respect to which that Inspector General has responsibilities under this Act.

Additionally, financial and programmatic monitoring requirements are set forth in 44 CFR part 13, Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Government or 2 CFR part 215, Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements with Institutions of HigherEducation, Hospitals, and Other NonProfit Organizations. Per FEMA grant guidance and grant award letters, grant recipients are required to conform to either 44 CFR part 13 or 2 CFR part 215. Both regulations stipulate that records must be retained for three years after submission of the final expenditure report for the grant.

Finally, both 44 CFR 13.43 and 2 CFR 215.53 provide the Inspector General the right of timely and unrestricted access to any records of recipients that are pertinent to the awards, in order to make audits, examinations, excerpts, transcripts and copies of such documents. The collection information will be used by the DHS OIG to conduct an audit of FEMA’s oversight and management of the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program—specifically the Assistance to Firefighters (AFG) and Staffing for Adequate Fire andEmergency Response (SAFER) subprograms. This information will be used to respond to the audit’s objective, which is to determine the extent to which Assistance to Firefighter grant recipients comply with grant requirements and guidance precluding waste, fraud, and abuse of grant funds.

The information will be requested in an email sent to each grantee’s point of contact information in FEMA’s eGrant database. DHS Forms 530, 531, and 532 detail the information being collected from each grantee. Each attachment is specific to the type of grant awarded. The email will have one attachment specific to the grant awarded.

A cover email (Grantee Email from OIG) provides guidance for submitting the requested information.

Once the information is collected from the grantee, the DHS OIG will analyze this information based on established criteria to determine if grantees complied with these criteria to preclude waste, fraud, and abuse of grant funds. The information will also be used to determine if FEMA provided adequate oversight and monitoring of these grant programs.

This results of this analysis will be presented in two audit reports—one for AFG grants and one for SAFER grants. These reports will include recommendations to FEMA based on the results of the analysis.

The preferred submission method for collection of this information will be via electronic mail. However, regular mail options for hard copies or scanned copies on electronic media will be available should the grantee not have access to the internet.

An email will be sent to the grantee with the appropriate form for the type of grant attached. The email (Grantee Email from OIG) provides guidance to the grantee on how to respond to this request.

A specific form will be sent for each the three types of grants in the sample— AFG (DHS Form 532), SAFER Hiring (DHS Form 530), or SAFER Recruitment and Retention (DHS Form 531). Each form has questions and document requests specific to that type of grant.

Each form requests documents that may be available on the internet. If information is available on the internet (for example, grantee procurement policies) and the grantee provides this location of this information, the DHS OIG will download this information from the Web site.

The burden has been reduced on the grantee because the DHS OIG is only requesting information the grantee is required to retain and does not normally submit to FEMA including items such as invoices for items/services purchased, written procurement policies and proof of payment to vendors for items/services purchased.

Grantees are required to maintain grant records for three years after the submission of their final expenditure report. It is estimated that no more than 28 respondents (five percent) will mail their records to the DHS Office of Inspector General. The cost to mail a five pound box of records to the Office of Inspector General’s Denver Field Office using the United States Postal Service’s Standard Post is $14.33. The estimated total annual cost burden is $401.24. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in comments which:

1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and 4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology,

e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses.

conducting patient decontamination in a mass chemical casualty incident. The subject matter is focused on external decontamination of living people exposed to toxic industrial chemicals (TICs), toxic industrial materials (TIMs) or chemical warfare agents (CWAs) resulting from either an intentional or accidental release. The guidance document provides an approach that is flexible and scalable according to the resource and capability limitations of the organization. The recommendations, therefore, are adaptable to each unique community as it sees fit. The principles set forth in this guidance document are strategic-level and designed to guide communities’ planning efforts rather than specify operational practices. The guidance is evidence-based using currently available scientific research to the extent possible, and the supporting evidence is documented and briefly discussed.

This document was released for public comment on April 2, 2014 under Docket Number DHS–2014–0012. Approximately 200 comments were received during the 45-day comment period. The comments were then adjudicated by a working group comprising the primary authors from DHS/OHA and HHS/ASPR.
