SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal Register on February 24, 2021, at
86 FR 11318 with a 60-day public comment period. Three comments were
received during that period and one comment (FEMA-2021-0006-0002) was
not germane. The other two comments (FEMA-2021-0006-0003 and FEMA-2021-
0006-0004) recommended that FEMA discontinue the Fire Management
Assistance Grant Program (FMAGP). FEMA has considered these comments,
but declines to make any changes to the FMAGP as a result of it. The
FMAGP was established under Section 420 of the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C
5187, as amended by Sec. 303 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000,
which authorizes the President to provide assistance to any state or
local government for the mitigation, management, and control of any
fire on public or private forest land or grassland that threatens such
destruction as would constitute a major disaster. FEMA has implemented
this program through 44 CFR part 204. Absent a change to the Stafford
Act, FEMA will continue implementing the FMAGP. Moreover, discontinuing
this program would negatively impact many Regions and states that
receive grant funding under this program for disaster recovery
purposes. The purpose of this notice is to notify the public that FEMA
will submit the information collection abstracted below to the Office
of Management and Budget for review and clearance.
