DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID: FEMA-2024-0025]

Notice of Availability for the Grant Programs Directorate 
Programs, Supplemental Programmatic Environmental Assessment

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland 
Security (DHS).

ACTION: Notice of availability; request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has prepared a 
Supplemental Programmatic Environmental Assessment (SPEA) to reevaluate 
the analysis provided in the 2010 Final Programmatic Environmental 
Assessment (PEA) for Grant Programs Directorate (GPD) Programs and 
Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). The SPEA includes a 
reevaluation of the environmental analysis and underlying assumptions 
of the 2010 PEA. The proposed action is the implementation of GPD 
Programs for security and response measures to improve preparedness. 
FEMA has made a preliminary determination in the SPEA that the FONSI 
determination is valid after incorporating the updated analysis and 
revisions contained in the SPEA.

DATES: Substantive comments must be submitted on or before January 21, 
2025 to be assured consideration.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons may submit comments responsive to this 
notice electronically through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. All submissions received must include the Agency 
name and Docket ID. Regardless of the method used for submitting 
comments or material, all submissions will be posted, without change, 
to the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov, and 
will include any personal information you provide. Therefore, 
submitting this information makes it public. You may wish to read the 
Privacy and Security Notice that is available via a link on the 
homepage of https://www.regulations.gov.
    FEMA will address comments received on the draft SPEA in a final 
SPEA. The final SPEA and FONSI will be posted to the FEMA NEPA 
Repository website using the same weblink as the 2010 PEA and FONSI at: 
https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/practitioners/environmental-historic/nepa/programmatic-environmental-29.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Portia Ross, FEMA Environmental 
Officer, Office of Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation, 
Resilience, 202-212-5929, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA is seeking public comment regarding its 
preliminary determination that no significant environmental impacts are 
anticipated from the proposed action, based on FEMA's reevaluation of 
the 2010 PEA for Grant Programs Directorate Programs. FEMA invites the 
public to submit comments through https://www.regulations.gov during 
the 30-day comment period following the publication of this notice in 
the Federal Register. The 2010 PEA and 2024 SPEA are available in 
docket ID FEMA-2024-0025. For access to the docket, go to https://www.regulations.gov and search for the docket ID.
    The supplemental reevaluation process, which is documented by the 
SPEA, indicates that no potential significant adverse environmental 
impacts are anticipated from the proposed action. Based on the 
supplemental environmental impact analysis in the SPEA, FEMA has 
determined that no significant environmental impacts are anticipated 
from implementation of GPD programs for security and response measures 
to improve preparedness, and the proposed action does not constitute a 
major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment, making the preparation of an Environmental Impact 
Statement (EIS) unnecessary. Therefore, FEMA will issue a final SPEA 
and FONSI.
    Authorities: National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as amended, 
42 U.S.C. 4331 et seq. and 40 CFR 1500.1 et seq.

Donna DeFrancesco,
Assistant Administrator, Office of Environmental Planning and Historic 
Preservation, Resilience, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 
Department of Homeland Security.
