Abstract: Grantees administer the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, which is a postdisaster program that contributes funds toward the cost of hazard mitigation activities in order to reduce the risk of future damage, hardship, loss or suffering in any area affected by a major disaster.

Estimated Cost: $1,246,503.00. The total annual estimated costs to
States and Indian tribal governments for information collections
associated with the HMGP are $1,246,503. This calculation is based on
the number of burden hours for the information collections and the
estimated wage rates for those individuals responsible for collecting
the information or completing the forms. States may use existing systems for submitting grant applications and reporting.
