Collection of Information

    Title: FEMA Preparedness Grants: Homeland Security Grant Program 
(HSGP).
    Type of information collection: Revision of a currently approved 
information collection.
    OMB Number: 1660-0125.
    Form Titles and Numbers: FEMA Form 089-1, HSGP Investment 
Justification (SHSP and UASI); FEMA Form 089-16, OPSG Operations Order 
Report; FEMA Form 089-20, OPSG Inventory of Operation Orders.
    Abstract: The HSGP is an important tool among a comprehensive set 
of measures to help strengthen the Nation against risks associated with 
potential terrorist attacks. DHS/FEMA uses the information to evaluate 
applicants' familiarity with the national preparedness architecture and 
identify how elements of this architecture have been incorporated into 
regional/state/local planning, operations, and investments.
    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. The OPSG will begin 
to utilize the Office of Management and Budget's web-based portal 
MAX.GOV, at https://www.MAX.GOV/, for operational management of the 
grant program.
    Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 462.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 310,357 hours.
    Estimated Cost: The estimated annual cost to respondents for the 
hour burden is $19,096,265. There are no annual costs to respondents' 
operations and maintenance costs for technical services. There are no 
annual start-up or capital costs. The cost to the Federal Government is 
$2,022,270.

    Dated: February 10, 2016.
