Abstract: The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Grant Program is
intended to improve emergency management and preparedness capabilities
by supporting flexible, sustainable, secure, and interoperable EOCs
with a focus on addressing identified deficiencies and needs. Fully
capable emergency operations facilities at the State, territory, local
and/or tribal levels are an essential element of a comprehensive
national emergency management system and are necessary to ensure
continuity of operations and continuity of government in major
disasters caused by any hazard. The information collection activity is

territory, local, tribal, and/or for-profit partners pertaining to
grant and cooperative agreement awards that include application,
program narrative statements, grant award, performance information,
outlay reports, grant funding and property management, and closeout
information. The information enables FEMA and any federal partners to
evaluate applications and make award decisions, monitor ongoing
performance and manage the flow of federal funds, and to appropriately
close out grants or cooperative agreements.
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 756.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Average Hour Burden per Respondent: 13.5 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 5,908 hours.

associated with this collection.
