    Abstract: The HSGP is an important tool among a comprehensive set 
of measures to help strengthen the Nation against risks associated with 
potential terrorist attacks. DHS/FEMA uses the information to evaluate 
applicants' familiarity with the national preparedness architecture and 
identify how elements of this architecture have been incorporated into 
regional/state/local planning, operations, and investments. The

for building and sustaining national preparedness capabilities. HSGP is 
comprised of four separate grant programs: The State Homeland Security 
Program (SHPS), the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), the 
Metropolitan Medical Response Systems (MMRS), and the Citizen Corps 
Program (CCP). Together, these grants fund a range of preparedness 
activities, including planning, organization, equipment purchase, 
training, exercises, and management and administration costs.
    Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 287.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Average Hour Burden per Respondent: 3,714.50 hours.

associated with this collection.
