ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has submitted 
the following information collection to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 
35). The submission describes the nature of the information collection, 
the categories of respondents, the estimated burden (i.e., the time, 
effort and resources used by respondents to respond) and cost, and 
includes a description of how States will manage the Hazard Mitigation 
Grant Program (HMGP) in the event of a disaster and the procedures 
States establish to implement required activities.
    Title: State Administrative Plan for the Hazard Mitigation Grant 
Program.
    OMB Number: 1660-0026.
    Abstract: States must have approved State Administrative Plans to 
be eligible to receive funds under the HMGP. The plan outlines the 
procedures for administration of the program and management of program 
funds. The plan is revised after each major disaster declaration to 
take into account changes in the administration of the program or in 
current program policy, and must be submitted for review and approval 
by the appropriate Regional Director. Independent of the frequency of 
disaster declarations, each State should review and update the plan at 
least annually.
