SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This collection of information is necessary to implement grants for the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program, Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) program, Repetitive Flood Claims (RFC) program and the Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) program. The FMA program is authorized by section 1366 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4104c, as amended by the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004 (NFIA), Public Law 108-264. The FMA program, under 44 CFR Part 79, is designed to award grants so that measures are taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of flood damage to buildings, manufactured homes, and other structures insurable under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The SRL program is authorized by section 1361A of the NFIA of 2004, 42 U.S.C. 4102a, with the goal of reducing flood damages to residential properties that have experienced severe repetitive losses under flood insurance coverage. The program under 44 CFR Part 79, focuses on efforts that will result in the greatest savings to the NFIF in the shortest period of time. The RFC program is authorized by the NFIA of 2004 (Pub. L. 108-264), 42 U.S.C. 4030. The NFIA authorizes funding annually to award grants for actions that reduce flood damages to individual properties for which one or more claim payments for losses have been made. The PDM program is authorized by section 203 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (the Act), 42 U.S.C. 5133, as amended by section 102 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA), Public Law 106-390, 114 Stat. 1552. The PDM program provides grants for cost-effective mitigation actions prior to a disaster event to reduce overall risks to the population and structures, while also reducing reliance on funding from actual disaster declarations. In accordance with OMB Circular A-102, FEMA requires that all parties interested in receiving FEMA mitigation grants submit an application package for grant assistance. The e-Grants system has been developed and revamped to meet the intent of the e-Government initiative, authorized by Public Law 106-107. This initiative requires that all government agencies both streamline grant application processes and provide for the means to electronically create, review, and submit a grant application via the Internet. Collection of Information *Title:*
                     Mitigation Grant Program/eGrants. *Type of Information Collection:*
                     Extension, without change, of a currently approved information collection. *OMB Number:*
                     1660-0072. *Form Titles and Numbers:*
                     No Forms. *Abstract:*
                     The FEMA mitigation grant programs—Flood Mitigation Assistance, Severe Repetitive Loss, Repetitive Flood Claims, and Pre-Disaster Mitigation—all utilize an automated grant application and management system known as e-Grants to apply for these grants. These programs provide funding to allow for the reduction or elimination of the risks to life and property from hazards. The e-Grants system also provides the mechanism to provide quarterly reports of the financial status of the project and the final closeout report. *Affected Public:*
                     State, local and Tribal Governments. *Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:*
                     43,848 Hours.
