Estimated Cost: The total annual 

estimated costs to States and tribal 

governments for information collection 

associated with the mitigation grant 

programs is $891,726.36. This 

calculation is based on the number of 

annual burden hours for wage rates for 

Urban and Regional Planners, 

responsible for collecting the 

information or completing the e-Grants 

information at the State level. The cost 

for developing e-Grants system is 

approximately $4.4 million. System 

enhancements will continue into future 

years, at an average cost to FEMA of 

$750,000 annually in contract costs. 

Comments: Written 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. Comments must be 

submitted on or before June 11, 2007.

the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
