SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the THSGP is to make grants
available to Federally-recognized ``directly eligible tribes'', as
defined by the Homeland Security Act, and to provide Tribes with the
ability to develop and deliver core capabilities using the combined
efforts of the whole community, rather than the exclusive effort of any
single organization or level of government. The THSGP's allowable costs
support efforts of Tribes to build and sustain core capabilities to
prepare for, prevent, protect against, and respond to acts of
terrorism. The THSGP also plays an important role in the implementation
of the National Preparedness System by supporting the building,
sustainment, and delivery of core capabilities essential to achieving
FEMA's National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient Nation.
Federally-recognized Tribes are those Tribes appearing on the list
published by the Secretary of the Interior pursuant to the Federally
Recognized Indian Tribe List Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-454) (25 U.S.C.
5131). ``Directly eligible tribes'' are defined in Section 2001 of the
Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended (Pub. L. 107-296) (6 U.S.C.
601).
This proposed information collection previously published in the
Federal Register on May 23, 2023, at 88 FR 33626 with a 60-day public
comment period. No comments were received. 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.
