The total annual estimated costs to States and Indian tribal governments for information collections associated with the HMGP are $1,246,503.

States may use existing systems for submitting grant applications and reporting. *Frequency of Response:* One-time. *Comments:* Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on the proposed information collection to the OMB Desk Officer for the Federal Emergency Management Agency at e-mail address *Edward_H._Clarke@omb.eop.gov.* or facsimile number
