Management and Budget for review and 

clearance in accordance with the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. The submission 

seeks comments concerning the FEMA 

Preparedness Grants: Tribal Homeland 

Security Grant Program (THSGP). The 

THSGP investment justification allows 

Indian Tribes to apply for Federal 

funding to support efforts to achieve 

target capabilities related to preventing, 

preparing for, protecting against, or 

responding to acts of terrorism. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before September 28, 2023.

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information or 

copies of the information collection

Cornelius Jackson, Preparedness Officer, 

FEMA Grant Programs Directorate, at 

(202) 786–9508 or Cornelius.Jackson@

fema.dhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of the THSGP is to make grants 

available to Federally-recognized 

‘‘directly eligible tribes’’, as defined by 

the Homeland Security Act, and to 

provide Tribes with the ability to 

develop and deliver core capabilities 

using the combined efforts of the whole 

community, rather than the exclusive 

effort of any single organization or level 

of government. The THSGP’s allowable 

costs support efforts of Tribes to build 

and sustain core capabilities to prepare 

for, prevent, protect against, and 

respond to acts of terrorism. The THSGP 

also plays an important role in the 

implementation of the National 

Preparedness System by supporting the 

building, sustainment, and delivery of 

core capabilities essential to achieving 

FEMA’s National Preparedness Goal of 

a secure and resilient Nation. Federallyrecognized Tribes are those Tribes 

appearing on the list published by the 

Secretary of the Interior pursuant to the 

Federally Recognized Indian Tribe List 

Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103–454) (25 U.S.C. 

5131). ‘‘Directly eligible tribes’’ are 

defined in Section 2001 of the 

Homeland Security Act of 2002, as 

amended (Pub. L. 107–296) (6 U.S.C. 

601). 

This proposed information collection 

previously published in the Federal 

Register on May 23, 2023, at 88 FR 

33626 with a 60-day public comment 

period. No comments were received. 

The purpose of this notice is to notify
