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 Higher 

Education, 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 and 

Emergency 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.
