methylenedioxymethamphetamine from 

the drug testing panel, because the 

number of positive specimens reported 

by HHS-certified laboratories does not 

support testing all specimens for MDA 

and MDMA in Federal workplace drug 

testing programs. Information provided 

to the Department through the NLCP in 

2021 and 2022 shows the positivity rate 

for MDMA ranges from 0.001 to 0.003%, 

and a review of the results indicate that 

>25% of the positive specimens are 

likely agency blind samples. MDA has 

a lower positivity rate than MDMA and 

both have lower positivity rates than 

phencyclidine (PCP). SAMHSA also 

considered removing PCP but decided 

against this change. While PCP has an 

overall positivity rate nearly as low as 

MDMA, there are regional differences in 

positivity, with some areas of the 

country having much higher rates, so 

PCP remains a regulated test analyte. 

Because MDA and MDMA are Schedule 

I drugs, a Federal agency may test 

specimens for these analytes in 

accordance with Section 3.2 of the 

UrMG and OFMG (i.e., on a case-by-case 

basis for reasonable suspicion or postaccident testing, or routinely with a 

waiver from the Secretary). The Division 

of Workplace Programs welcomes 

public comment prior to the DTAB 

meeting regarding the removal of MDA 

and MDMA from the Urine and Oral 

Fluid Analyte Table. Please see below 

for the process to submit comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Emergency Management 

Agency’s (FEMA’s) Homeland Security 

Grant Program (HSGP) supports state 

and local efforts to prevent terrorism 

and other catastrophic events and to 

prepare the Nation for the threats and 

hazards that pose the greatest risk to the 

security of the United States. The HSGP 

provides funding to implement 

investments that build, sustain, and 

deliver the 32 core capabilities essential 

to achieving the National Preparedness 

Goal of a secure and resilient Nation. 

The building, sustainment, and delivery 

of these core capabilities are not 

exclusive to any single level of 

government, organization, or 

community, but rather, require the 

combined effort of the whole 

community. The HSGP supports core 

capabilities across the five mission areas 

of Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, 

Response, and Recovery based on 

allowable costs. HSGP is comprised of 

three grant programs: State Homeland 

Security Program (SHSP), Urban Area 

Security Initiative (UASI), and 

Operation Stonegarden (OPSG). 

Together, these grant programs fund a 

range of activities, including planning, 

organization, equipment purchase, 

training, exercises, and management

and administration across all core 

capabilities and mission areas. The 

authorizing authority of the HSGP is 

section 2002 of the Homeland Security 

Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–296) (See 6 

U.S.C. 603–609, as amended). 

This revision of the information 

collection removes the OPSG Daily 

Activity Report, FEMA Form FF–207– 

FY–21–113 (formerly 089–0–27) that 

was created at the behest of CBP to 

fulfill CBP’s requirements under OPSG 

and is only used to collection 

information from the public by CBP. 

FEMA has previously included this 

instrument under this collection as a 

service to CBP, but including an 

instrument used by CBP under a 

collection granting FEMA the authority 

to collect information does not provide 

the proper service to CBP, FEMA or the 

public.

Abstract: The Homeland Security 

Grant Program (HSGP) is an important 

tool among a comprehensive set of 

measures to help strengthen the Nation 

against risks associated with potential 

terrorist attacks. FEMA uses the 

information to evaluate applicants’ 

familiarity with the national 

preparedness architecture and identify 

how elements of this architecture have 

been incorporated into planning, 

operations, and investments at the 

regional, state and local levels. The 

HSGP is a primary funding mechanism 

for building and sustaining national 

preparedness capabilities. The HSGP is 

comprised of three separate grant 

programs: the State Homeland Security 

Program (SHSP), the Urban Area 

Security Initiative (UASI), and 

Operation Stonegarden (OPSG). 

Together, these grants fund a range of 

preparedness activities, including 

planning, organization, equipment 

purchase, training, exercises, and 

management and administration costs. 

Affected Public: State, local, or Tribal 

governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

709. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 827. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 319,488. 

Estimated Total Annual Respondent 

Cost: $26,821,018. 

Estimated Respondents’ Operation 

and Maintenance Costs: $0. 

Estimated Respondents’ Capital and 

Start-Up Costs: $0. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to the 

Federal Government: $1,546,239. 

Comments 

Comments may be submitted as 

indicated in the ADDRESSES caption 

above. Comments are solicited to (a) 

evaluate whether the proposed data 

collection is necessary for the proper 

performance of the Agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) 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; 

(c) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) 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 submission of 

responses.
