In order to be eligible for certain
types of Federal Emergency Management Agency non-emergency
assistance, State, local, territorial and Tribal governments are
required to have a current FEMA-approved hazard mitigation plan
that meets the criteria established in 44 CFR Part 201 and
applicable mitigation planning policies.
There has been an overall
increase of 43,228 burden hours. This increase is mainly due to the
increase in the overall number of jurisdictions served by this
program, and it is mitigated by a general decrease in the number of
overall plans as some were consolidated into multi-jurisdictional
plans. Per 44 CFR § 201.6(a)(4), local governments may collaborate
to create a multi-jurisdictional plan. One participating community
should be designated as the lead jurisdiction. When FEMA HMA
planning grants are used, the lead jurisdiction is often the
subrecipient. FEMA encourages the lead jurisdiction to gain buy-in
for adoption early in the planning process, using letters of
commitment. A participating jurisdiction that does not adopt the
plan will not be considered to have an approved plan. There is an
overall increase of $5,025,025 due to a combination of the increase
of burden hours to this collection and the general increase in
wages. Please note that the program office provided an excellent
narrative breakdown of the Question 13 costs to respondents on
pages 17-18 of the Supporting Statement A.
