II. Background

A. What action is the agency taking?

    In this document EPA is issuing an order requiring the submission
of various data to support the continuation of the fenamiphos
tolerances at 40 CFR 180.349 under section 408 of the FFDCA, 21 U.S.C.
346a.
    Fenamiphos is not currently registered under FIFRA, 7 U.S.C. 136 et
seq. The FIFRA registration for fenamiphos was canceled in 2007.
However, four FFDCA tolerances remain for residues of fenamiphos on the
following commodities: Bananas, grapes, pineapples, and raisins (40 CFR
180.349). Since there are currently no domestic registrations for
fenamiphos, these tolerances are referred to as ``import tolerances.''
It is these tolerances that are addressed by the data call-in order.

B. What is the agency's authority for taking this action?

    Under section 408(f) of the FFDCA, EPA is authorized to require, by
order, submission of data ``reasonably required to support the
continuation of a tolerance'' when such data cannot be obtained under
the Data Call-In authority of FIFRA section 3(c)(2)(B), or section 4 of
the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2603. A FFDCA
section 408 data call-in order may only be issued following publication
of notice of the order and a 60-day public comment provision.
    A section 408(f) Data Call-In order must contain the following
elements:
    1. A requirement that one or more persons submit to EPA a notice
identifying the person(s) who commit to submit the data required in the
order;
    2. A description of the required data and the required reports
connected to such data;
    3. An explanation of why the required data could not be obtained
under section 3(c)(2)(B) of FIFRA or section 4 of TSCA; and
    4. The required submission date for the notice identifying one or
more interested persons who commit to submit the required data and the
required submission dates for all the data and reports required in the
order. (21 U.S.C. 346a(f)(1)(C)).
    EPA may by order modify or revoke the affected tolerances if any
one of the following submissions is not made in a timely manner:
    i. A notice identifying the one or more interested persons who
commit to submit the data;
    ii. The data itself; or
    iii. The reports required under a section 408(f) order are not
submitted by the date specified in the order. (21 U.S.C. 346a(f)(2)).

C. What preliminary steps were taken by EPA prior to issuing this final
order?

    On August 31, 2011, EPA issued a proposed data call-in order for
the pesticide fenamiphos in connection with tolerances for that
pesticide under section 408 of the FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a. (75 FR
44181). The proposed data call-in order included the following studies:
    1. Comparative Cholinesterase Assay (Non-Guideline).
    2. Immunotoxicity Study (870.7800).
    3. Crop Field Trials (860.1500)--(grapes; foliar use in Mexico).

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments

    EPA received one comment in response to the August 31, 2011,
Federal Register notice announcing the Agency's proposed data call-in
order for fenamiphos (76 FR 54185; FRL-8886-2). However, this comment
merely argued that there are too many toxic chemicals approved for use
in the United States and did not, in any manner, address the Agency's
intention to issue a data call-in order for fenamiphos. Therefore, no
response to this comment is needed. In addition, the Agency has not
received any of the data identified in the proposed order as needed to
support the fenamiphos tolerances.

IV. Final Data Call-in Order

    Because no comments were submitted on the proposal and the data
deficiencies identified in the proposed order remain, EPA is issuing
this final data call-in order under FFDCA section 408(f)(1)(C) for
fenamiphos in the same form as the proposed order and for the reasons
set forth in that proposed order. Specifically, this order:
    1. Requires Notice of Intent to Submit Data. A notice identifying
the person or

persons who commit to submit the data and reports in accordance with
Unit V.2. must be submitted to EPA if any person wishes to support the
fenamiphos tolerances. The notice must be submitted on a section 408(f)
Order Response Form which is available in the electronic docket, http://www.regulations.gov, under docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0702.
    2. Establishes a Deadline for Submission of Notice Identifying Data
Submitters. The notice described in Unit V.1. identifying data
submitters must be submitted to and received by EPA on or before June
5, 2012. Instructions on methods for submitting this notice (referred
to in this order as a ``section 408(f) Order Response Form'') are set
out under ADDRESSES.
    3. Describes Data and Reports Required to Support Continuation of
the Fenamiphos Tolerances, Requires Submission of Those Data and
Reports, and Establishes Deadlines for Submission. The table in this
Unit describes the data and reports required to be submitted on
fenamiphos under this order and the deadlines for the submission of
each study and report. The required submission date is calculated from
June 5, 2012. Thus, for example, if EPA generally allows 12 months to
complete a study, the required submission date for such a study under
this order would be 15 months from the date of publication of the order
in the Federal Register.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Timeframe for

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EPA provided a description of why the required data could not be
obtained under section 3(c)(2)(B) of FIFRA or section 4 of TSCA in the
proposed order and relies on that description in this final order.

V. Failure To Submit Notice of Intent To Submit Data or Data and
Reports

    If, by June 5, 2012 the Agency does not receive a section 408(f)
Order Response Form identifying a person who agrees to submit the
required data, EPA will revoke the fenamiphos tolerances at 40 CFR
180.349. Such revocation is subject to the objection and hearing
procedure in FFDCA section 408(g)(2) but the only material issue in
such a procedure is whether a submission required by the order was made
in a timely fashion.
    Additional events that may be the basis for modification or
revocation of fenamiphos tolerances include, but are not limited to the
following:
    1. No person submits on the required schedule an acceptable
protocol report when such report is required to be submitted to the
Agency for review.
    2. No person submits on the required schedule acceptable data as
required by the final order.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action, which requires the submission of data in support of
tolerances in accordance with FFDCA section 408, is in the form of an
order and not a rule. (21 U.S.C. 346a(f)(1)(C)). Under the
Administrative Procedures Act (APA), orders are expressly excluded from
the definition of a rule. (5 U.S.C. 551(4)). Accordingly, the
regulatory assessment requirements imposed on a rulemaking do not apply
to this action, as explained further in the following discussion.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    Because this order is not a ``regulatory action'' as that term is
defined in Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
action is not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) under Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011).

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This action does not impose additional burdens that require
approval by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.). The information collection activities associated with the
order requesting data from any party interested in supporting certain
tolerances are already approved by OMB under OMB Control No. 2070-0174,
and are identified by EPA ICR No. 2288.01. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b). Under the PRA, an Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to a collection of information that
requires OMB approval under PRA, unless it has been approved by OMB and
displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers
for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the
Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and included on the
related collection instrument, or form, if applicable.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Since this order is not a rule under the APA (5 U.S.C. 551(4)), and
does not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the requirements of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not
apply.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act; Executive Order 13132: Federalism; and
Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments

    This order requests data from any party interested in supporting
certain tolerances and does not impose obligations on any person or
entity including States or tribes; nor does this action alter the
relationships or distribution of power and responsibilities established
by Congress in the preemption provisions of section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA.
As such, the Agency has determined that this action will not have a
substantial direct effect on States or tribal governments, on the
relationship between the national government and the States or tribal
governments, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among
the various levels of government or between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes. Thus, the Agency has determined that Executive Order
13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175 (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this order. In addition, this
order does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded
mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
(UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538).

E. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks; Executive Order 13211: Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use; and Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To
Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income
Populations

    As indicated previously, this action is not a ``regulatory action''
as defined by Executive Order 12866. As a result, this action is not
subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) and
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). In addition, this
order also does not require any special considerations under Executive
Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

F. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    This action does not involve any technical standards that would
require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant
to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act (NTTAA), (15 U.S.C. 272 note). The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq. does not apply because this action is not a rule as
that term is defined in 5 U.S.C. 804(3).

[Docket ID: FEMA-2015-0028]

Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of
Homeland Security (DHS).

ACTION: Notice of availability of grant application and application
deadline.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As required by the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of
1974, as amended, the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) is publishing this notice describing the Fiscal Year (FY)
2015 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program application
process, deadlines, and award selection criteria. This notice explains
the differences, if any, between these guidelines and those recommended
by representatives of the national fire service leadership during the
annual meeting of the Criteria Development Panel, which was held
October 27-28, 2014. The application period for the FY 2015 AFG Program
will be held December 7, 2015 through January 15, 2015, and will be
announced on the AFG Web site (www.fema.gov/firegrants), as well as
www.grants.gov.

DATES: Grant applications for the Assistance to Firefighters Grants
will be accepted electronically at https://portal.fema.gov, from
December 7, 2015, at 8 a.m. Eastern Standard Time to January 15, 2015,
at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

ADDRESSES: Assistance to Firefighters Grants Branch, DHS/FEMA, 800 K
Street NW., MS 3620, Washington, DC 20472-3620.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Catherine Patterson, Branch Chief,
Assistance to Firefighters Grant Branch, 1-866-274-0960.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The AFG Program makes grants directly to
fire departments, nonaffiliated emergency medical services (EMS)
organizations, and state fire training academies (SFTAs) for the
purpose of enhancing the abilities of first responders to protect the
health and safety of the public, as well as the first-responder
personnel facing fire and fire-related hazards.
    Applications for the FY 2015 AFG Program will be submitted and
processed online at https://portal.fema.gov. Before the application
period starts, the FY 2015 AFG Notice of Funding Opportunity
Announcement (NOFO) will be published on the AFG

Web site (www.fema.gov/firegrants). Applicants will also be able to
access additional information on the AFG Web site, including a list of
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), a ``Get Ready Guide,'' and a ``Quick
Reference Guide.'' It is likely that approximately 10,000 to 15,000
applications will be submitted for FY 2015 AFG Program grant funds.
FEMA anticipates that it will be able to award approximately 3,000
grants with the available grant funding.

Appropriations

    In 2015, Congress appropriated $340,000,000 pursuant to the
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2014, Public Law
113-6. From this amount, $306,000,000 will be made available for AFG
awards. In addition, the authorizing statute requires that a minimum of
10 percent of available funds be expended for Fire Prevention and
Safety grants (FP&S), to be made directly to local fire departments and
to local, regional, state, or national entities recognized for their
expertise in the fields of fire prevention and firefighter safety
research and development. Funds appropriated for FY 2015 will be
available for obligation and award until September 30, 2016.
    The authorizing statute directs FEMA to administer the
appropriations according to the following requirements:
     Career (fire department): Not less than 25 percent of
available grant funds.
     Volunteer (fire department): Not less than 25 percent of
available grant funds.
     Combination (fire department) and departments using paid-
on-call firefighting personnel--not less than 25 percent of available
grant funds.
     Open Competition: Career, volunteer, and combination fire
departments and fire departments using paid-on-call firefighting
personnel--not less than 10 percent of available grant funds awarded.
     Emergency Medical Services Providers: Fire departments and
nonaffiliated EMS organizations; not less than 3.5 percent of available
grants funds awarded, with nonaffiliated EMS providers receiving no
more than 2 percent of the total available grant funds.
     State Fire Training Academies (SFTAs): No more than 3
percent of available grant funds shall be collectively awarded to state
fire training academy applicants, with a maximum of $500,000 to be
awarded per applicant.
     Vehicles: Not more than 25 percent of available grant
funds may be used for the purchase of vehicles; 10 percent of the total
vehicle funds will be dedicated to funding ambulances. The allocation
of funding will be distributed as equally as possible among urban,
suburban, and rural community applicants. The remaining Vehicle
Acquisition funds will be awarded competitively without regard to
community classification.
     Micro Grants: This is a voluntary funding limitation
choice made by the applicant for requests submitted for Operations and
Safety Grant Component Program; it is not an additional funding
opportunity. Micro Grants are awards that have a federal participation
(share) that does not exceed $25,000. Only fire departments and
nonaffiliated EMS organizations are eligible to choose Micro Grants,
and the only eligible Micro Grants activities are Training, Equipment,
PPE, and Wellness and Fitness. Applicants that select Micro Grants as a
funding opportunity may receive additional consideration for award. If
an applicant selects Micro Grants in their application, they will be
limited in the total amount of funding their organization can be
awarded; if they are requesting funding in excess of $25,000 federal
participation, they should not select Micro Grants.

Background of the AFG Program

    Since 2001, the AFG Program has helped firefighters and other first
responders to obtain critically needed equipment, protective gear,
emergency vehicles, training, and other resources needed to protect the
public and emergency personnel from fire and related hazards. FEMA
awards the grants on a competitive basis to the applicants that best
address the AFG Program's priorities and provide the most compelling
justification. Applications that best address the Program's priorities
will be reviewed by a panel composed of fire service personnel.

Application Evaluation Criteria

    Prior to making a grant award, FEMA is required by 31 U.S.C. 3321
and 41 U.S.C. 2313 to review information available through any Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)-designated repositories of government-
wide eligibility qualification or financial integrity information.
Therefore, application evaluation criteria may include the following
risk based considerations of the applicant: (1) Financial stability;
(2) quality of management systems and ability to meet management
standards; (3) history of performance in managing federal award; (4)
reports and findings from audits; and (5) ability to effectively
implement statutory, regulatory, or other requirements.
    FEMA will rank all complete and submitted applications based on how
well they match program priorities for the type of jurisdiction(s)
served. Answers to activity-specific questions provide information used
to determine each application's ranking relative to the stated program
priorities.
    Funding priorities and criteria for evaluating AFG applications are
established by FEMA based on the recommendations from the Criteria
Development Panel (CDP). The CDP is comprised of fire service
professionals that make recommendations to FEMA regarding the creation
of new or the modification of previously established funding
priorities, as well as developing criteria for awarding grants. The
content of the NOFO reflects implementation of the CDP's
recommendations with respect to the priorities and evaluation criteria
for awards.
    The nine major fire service organizations represented on the CDP
are:
     International Association of Fire Chiefs
     International Association of Fire Fighters
     National Volunteer Fire Council
     National Fire Protection Association
     National Association of State Fire Marshals
     International Association of Arson Investigators
     International Society of Fire Service Instructors
     North American Fire Training Directors
     Congressional Fire Service Institute

Review and Selection Process

    AFG applications are reviewed through a multi-phase process. First,
applications are electronically pre-scored and ranked; then scored
competitively by (no less than three) members of the Peer Review Panel.
Applications are also evaluated through a series of internal FEMA
review processes for completeness, adherence to programmatic
guidelines, technical feasibility, and anticipated effectiveness of the
proposed project(s). The review process is outlined below:

1. Pre-Scoring Process

    The application undergoes an electronic pre-scoring process based
on established program priorities listed within the NOFO. Application
narratives are not reviewed during pre-scoring. Request details and
budget information should comply with program guidance and statutory
funding limitations. The pre-score is 50 percent of the total
application score.

2. Peer Review Panel Process

    Applications with the highest pre-score will be evaluated by a peer
review process. The peer review is comprised of fire service
representatives recommended by CDP national organizations. The
panelists assess the merits of each application with respect to the
detail provided in the narrative section of the application, including
the evaluation elements listed in the Narrative Evaluation Criteria
below. The panel will independently score each project within the
application, discuss the merits and/or shortcomings of the application,
and document its findings. A consensus is not required. The panel score
is 50 percent of the total application score.

3. Technical Evaluation Process

    The highest ranked applications are deemed within the fundable
range. Applications that are in the fundable range undergo both a
technical review by a subject matter expert (SME), as well as a FEMA
program office review prior to being recommended for award. The FEMA
program office will assess the request with respect to costs,
quantities, feasibility, eligibility, and recipient responsibility
prior to recommending an application for award.
    Once the technical evaluation process is complete, the cumulative
score for each application will be determined and a final ranking of
applications will be generated. FEMA will award grants based on this
final ranking and the required funding limitations in statute.

Narrative Evaluation Criteria

1. Financial Need (25%)

    Applicants should describe their financial need and how consistent
it is with the intent of the AFG Program. This statement should include
details describing the applicant's financial distress, summarizing
budget constraints, unsuccessful attempts to secure other funding, and
proving the financial distress is out of their control.

2. Project Description and Budget (25%)

    This statement should clearly explain the applicant's project
objectives and the relationship between those objectives and the
applicant's budget and risk analysis. The applicant should describe the
various activities applied for with respect to any program priority or
facility modifications, ensuring they are consistent with project
objectives, the applicant's mission, and any national, state, and/or
local requirements. Applicants should link the proposed expenses to
operations and safety, as well as the completion of the project goals

3. Operations and Safety/Cost Benefit (25%)

    Applicants should describe how they plan to address the operations
and personal safety needs of their organization, including cost
effectiveness and sharing assets. This statement should also include
details about gaining the maximum benefits from grant funding by citing
reasonable or required costs, such as specific overhead and
administrative costs. The applicant's request should also be consistent
with their mission and identify how funding will benefit their
organization and personnel.

4. Statement of Effect/Impact on Daily Operations (25%)

    This statement should explain how this funding request will enhance
the organization's overall effectiveness. It should address how this
request will improve daily operations and reduce the organization's
common risk(s). Applicants should include how frequently the requested
item(s) will be used and in what capacity. Applicants should also
indicate how the requested item(s) will help the community and increase
the organization's ability to save additional lives and property.

Eligible Applicants

    Fire Departments: Fire departments operating in any of the 56
states, which includes any state of the United States, the District of
Columbia, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico;
or, any federally recognized Indian tribe or tribal organization are
eligible applicants. A fire department is an agency or organization
having a formally recognized arrangement with a state, territory,
local, or tribal authority (city, county, parish, fire district,
township, town, or other governing body) to provide fire suppression to
a population within a geographically fixed primary first due response
area.
    Nonaffiliated EMS organizations: Nonaffiliated EMS organizations
operating in any of the 56 states, which includes any state of the
United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American
Samoa, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico; or, any federally recognized
Indian tribe or tribal organization are eligible applicants. A
nonaffiliated EMS organization is an agency or organization that is a
public or private nonprofit emergency medical services entity providing
medical transport, that is not affiliated with a hospital and does not
serve a geographic area in which emergency medical services are
adequately provided by a fire department.
    FEMA considers the following as hospitals under the AFG program:
     Clinics
     Medical centers
     Medical college or university
     Infirmary
     Surgery centers
     Any other institution, association, or foundation
providing medical, surgical, or psychiatric care and/or treatment for
the sick or injured.
    State Fire Training Academies: A state fire training academy (SFTA)
operating in any of the 56 states, which includes any state of the
United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American
Samoa, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is an eligible applicant.
Applicants must be designated either by legislation or by a Governor's
declaration as the sole state fire service training agency within a
state. The designated SFTA shall be the only state agency/bureau/
division, or entity within that state, to be an eligible AFG SFTA
applicant.

Ineligibility

     FEMA considers two or more separate fire departments or
nonaffiliated EMS organizations sharing facilities as being one
organization. If two or more organizations share facilities, and each
organization submits an application in the same program area, FEMA may
deem all of those program area applications to be ineligible to avoid
any duplication of benefits.
     Fire-based EMS organizations are not eligible to apply as
nonaffiliated EMS organizations. Fire-based EMS training and equipment
must be requested by a fire department under the AFG component program
Operations and Safety.

Statutory Limits to Funding

    Congress has enacted statutory limits to the amount of funding that
a grantee may receive from the AFG Program in any single fiscal year
(15 U.S.C. 2229(c)(2)) based on the population served. Awards will be
limited based on the size of the population protected by the applicant,
as indicated below. Notwithstanding the annual limits stated below, the
FEMA Administrator may not award a grant in an amount that exceeds one
percent of the available grants funds in such fiscal year, except

where it is determined that such recipient has an extraordinary need
for a grant in an amount that exceeds the one percent aggregate limit.
     In the case of a recipient that serves a jurisdiction with
100,000 people or fewer, the amount of available grant funds awarded to
such recipient shall not exceed $1 million in any fiscal year.
     In the case of a recipient that serves a jurisdiction with
more than 100,000 people but not more than 500,000 people, the amount
of available grant funds awarded to such recipient shall not exceed $2
million in any fiscal year.
     In the case of a recipient that serves a jurisdiction with
more than 500,000 but not more than 1 million people, the amount of
available grant funds awarded to such recipient shall not exceed $3
million in any fiscal year.
     In the case of a recipient that serves a jurisdiction with
more than 1 million people but not more than 2,500,000 people, the
amount of available grant funds awarded to such recipient shall not
exceed $6 million for any fiscal year, but is subject to the one
percent aggregate cap of $3,400,000 for FY 2015.
     In the case of a recipient that serves a jurisdiction with
more than 2,500,000 people, the amount of available grant funds awarded
to such recipient shall not exceed $9 million in any fiscal year, but
is subject to the one percent aggregate cap of $3,400,000 for FY 2015.
     FEMA may not waive the caps on the maximum amount of
available grant funds awarded based upon population.
    The cumulative total of the federal share of awards in Operations
and Safety, Regional and Vehicle Acquisition activities will be
considered when assessing award amounts and any limitations thereto.
Applicants may request funding up to the statutory limit on each of
their applications.
    For example, an applicant that serves a jurisdiction with more than
100,000 people but not more than 500,000 people may request up to $2
million on their Operations and Safety Application and up to $2 million
on their Vehicle Acquisition Request. However, should both grants be
awarded, the applicant would have to choose which award to accept if
the cumulative value of both applications exceeds the statutory limits.

Cost Sharing and Maintenance of Effort

    Grantees must share in the costs of the projects funded under this
grant program as required by 15 U.S.C. 2229(k)(1) and in accordance
with applicable federal regulations governing grants in effect at the
time a grant is awarded to a grantee, but they are not required to have
the cost-share at the time of application nor at the time of award.
However, before a grant is awarded, FEMA will contact potential
awardees to determine whether the grantee has the funding in hand or if
the grantee has a viable plan to obtain the funding necessary to
fulfill the cost-sharing requirement.
    In general, an eligible applicant seeking a grant shall agree to
make available non-federal funds equal to not less than 15 percent of
the grant awarded. However, the cost share will vary as follows based
on the size of the population served by the organization:
     Applicants serving areas with populations above 20,000 but
not more than 1 million shall agree to make available non-federal funds
equal to not less than 10 percent of the total project cost.
     Applicants that serve populations of 20,000 or less must
match the Federal grant funds with an amount of non-federal funds equal
to 5 percent of the total project cost.
    The cost share of state fire training academies and joint/regional
projects will be based on the entire state or region, not the
population of the host organization.
    On a case by case basis, FEMA may allow grantees that already own
assets (equipment or vehicles) to use the trade-in allowance/credit
value of those assets as ``cash'' for the purpose of meeting the cost-
share obligation of their AFG award. In-kind cost-share matches are not
allowed.
    Grant recipients under this grant program must also agree to a
maintenance of effort requirement as required by 15 U.S.C. 2229(k)(3)
(referred to as a ``maintenance of expenditure'' requirement in that
statute). A grant recipient shall agree to maintain during the term of
the grant the applicant's aggregate expenditures relating to the
activities allowable under the NOFO at not less than 80 percent (80%)
of the average amount of such expenditures in the two (2) fiscal years
preceding the fiscal year in which the grant amounts are received.
    In cases of demonstrated economic hardship, and on the application
of the grant recipient, the Administrator of FEMA may waive or reduce a
grant recipient's cost share requirement or maintenance of expenditure
requirement. As required by statute, the Administrator of FEMA has
established guidelines for determining what constitutes economic
hardship and published these guidelines at FEMA's Web site
(www.fema.gov/grants).
    Prior to the start of the FY 2015 AFG application period, FEMA will
conduct applicant workshops and/or Internet webinars to inform
potential applicants about the AFG Program. In addition, FEMA will
provide applicants with information at the AFG Web site (www.fema.gov/firegrants) to help them prepare quality grant applications. The AFG
Help Desk will be staffed throughout the application period to assist
applicants with the automated application process as well as assistance
with any questions they have. Applicants can reach the AFG Help Desk
through a toll-free telephone number (1-866-274-0960) or electronic
mail (firegrants@dhs.gov).

Application Process

    Organizations may submit one application per application period in
each of the three AFG Program areas, e.g., one application for
Operations and Safety, one for Vehicle Acquisition, and/or a separate
application to be a Joint/Regional Project host. If an organization
submits more than one application for any single AFG Program area,
e.g., two applications for Operations and Safety, two for Vehicles,
etc.; either intentionally or unintentionally, FEMA will deem all
applications submitted by that organization for the particular program
to be ineligible for funding.
    Applicants will be advised to access the application electronically
at https://portal.fema.gov. The application will also be accessible
from the U.S. Fire Administration's Web site (http://www.usfa.fema.gov)
and http://www.grants.gov. New applicants will be required to register
and establish a username and password for secure access to their
application. Applicants that applied for any previous AFG funding
opportunities will be required to use their previously established
usernames and passwords.
    In completing the application, applicants will be asked to provide
relevant information on their organization's characteristics, call
volume, and existing capabilities. Applicants will be asked to answer
questions about their grant request that reflect the AFG funding
priorities, which are described below. In addition, each applicant must
complete four separate narratives for each project or grant activity
requested.

System for Award Management (SAM)

    In 2012, the System for Award Management (SAM) replaced the Central
Contractor Registry (CCR). Per 2 CFR 25.200, all grant applicants and
recipients are now required to register in https://SAM.gov, which is
available free of charge. They must maintain validated information in
SAM that is

consistent with the data provided in their AFG grant application and in
the Dun & Bradstreet (DUNS) database. AFG will not accept any
application, process any awards, consider any payment or amendment
requests, or consider any amendment until the applicant or grantee has
complied with the requirements to provide a valid DUNS number and an
active SAM registration with current information. The banking
information, employer identification number (EIN), organization/entity
name, address, and DUNS number provided in the application must match
the information that provided in SAM.

Changes to Criteria Development Panel (CDP) Recommendations

    FEMA must explain any differences between the published guidelines
and the recommendations made by the CDP and publish this information in
the Federal Register prior to making any grants under the AFG Program.
For FY 2015, FEMA accepted and is implementing all of the CDP's
recommendations.

New for FY 2015

    Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards--On December 26, 2014, DHS adopted the
Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal
Awards in 2 CFR part 200 that establishes a uniform set of mandatory
requirements for federal awards to non-federal entities. These
requirements apply to all awards made after December 26, 2014,
including all FY 2014 and FY 2015 AFG awards. This regulation (also
commonly referred to as the ``Super Circular'' or ``Omni Circular'') is
available at: http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=c1e355be139798e0c2583b0136a0fae7&mc=true&tpl=/ecfrbrowse/Title02/2cfrv1_02.tpl#0.
    A crosswalk that highlights policy changes, clarifications, and
updates to policy provisions, is available at: https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/fedreg/2013/uniform-guidance-crosswalk-from-predominate-source-in-existing-guidance.pdf.
    Equipment Priorities for Nonaffiliated EMS Organizations--As the
basic mission of nonaffiliated EMS organizations is to provide Basic
Life Support (BLS)/Advanced Life Support (ALS) care and transport in
support of the public and emergency responders; all rescue/extrication
equipment will now be considered a Medium priority for EMS
organizations.
    Product Lifecycles--Historically, for most eligible equipment
(i.e., hose, ladders, hand tools, etc.), the highest funding priority
is for equipment that is 15 years or older in age, or obsolete by
default per a recognized standard (e.g., NFPA 1851: Standard on
Selection, Care, and Maintenance of Protective Ensembles for Structural
Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting). However, for FY 2015, the
useful operational life of EMS technology-based equipment has been
adjusted to an 8-year replacement lifecycle in many cases.
    Transitioning Titles in Emergency Medical Services--The US
Department of Transportation, under the National EMS Scope of Practice
Model, is in the process of changing titles for EMS providers. Under
this program, the titles below are changing, and FEMA will incorporate
these changes into each grant cycle.
     First Responder to Emergency Medical Responder (EMR)
     Emergency Medical Technician-Basic (EMT-B) to Emergency
Medical Technician (EMT)
     Emergency Medical Technician Intermediate/85 (EMT-I) to
Advanced EMT (AEMT)
     Emergency Medical Technician Intermediate/99 to Paramedic
     EMT-Paramedic (EMT-P) to Community Paramedics (Paramedics
with Primary Care certification)

Funding Priorities

    The funding priorities, recommended by a panel of representatives
from the nation's fire service leadership, have been accepted by DHS
for the purposes of implementing the AFG Program, are outlined in the
Fiscal Year 2015 Notice of Funding Opportunity. Graphical charts, with
rating criteria, have been created to easily depict whether activities
were a (H) High, (M) Medium or (L) Low funding priority. These rating
criteria provide an understanding of the AFG Program's priorities and
the expected cost-effectiveness of any proposed project(s).

Administrative Costs

    Panelists will assess the administrative costs requested in each
application and determine whether the request is reasonable and in the
best interest of the Program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry
entitled ``Maximal Usage Trials for Topically Applied Active
Ingredients Being Considered for Inclusion in an Over-the-Counter
Monograph: Study Elements and Considerations.'' This guidance
represents FDA's current thinking on the conduct of in vivo absorption
trials for topically applied active ingredients that are under
consideration for inclusion in an OTC monograph. A maximal usage trial
(MUsT) is a standard approach to assessing the in vivo bioavailability
of topical drug products. The methodology described in this guidance
adapts MUsT principles for active ingredients being considered for
inclusion in an OTC monograph. Because information from a MUsT can help
identify the potential for systemic exposure to a topically applied
active ingredient, such information can help inform an FDA
determination of whether additional safety data are needed to support a
finding that a topical OTC drug containing that active ingredient is
generally recognized as safe and effective for its intended use.
    This guidance was written, in part, in response to comments
submitted to Docket No. FDA-2015-D-4021 for the draft guidance entitled
``Over-the-Counter Sunscreens: Safety and Effectiveness Data'' (80 FR
72975, November 23, 2015) and the final guidance that replaced it,
entitled ``Nonprescription Sunscreen Drug Products--Safety and
Effectiveness Data,'' (81 FR 84594, November 23, 2016), requesting that
FDA provide further guidance and details on the MUsT recommended in
that document. FDA has also recommended a MUsT to address data gaps
regarding active ingredients under consideration for inclusion in the
OTC monograph for topical antimicrobial drug products, and in the OTC
sunscreen monograph rulemaking (see proposed rules ``Safety and
Effectiveness of Consumer Antiseptics, Topical Antimicrobial Drug
Products for Over-the-Counter Human Use; Proposed Amendment of the
Tentative Final Monograph; Reopening of Administrative Record'' (81 FR
42912, June 30, 2016) and ``Sunscreen Drug Products for Over-the-
Counter Human Use'' (84 FR 6204, February 26, 2019)). This guidance
provides additional information on the study elements, data analysis,
and considerations when designing a MUsT for a topically applied active
ingredient being considered for inclusion in an OTC monograph.
    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
current thinking of FDA on ``Maximal Usage Trials for Topically Applied
Active Ingredients Being Considered for Inclusion in an Over-the-
Counter Monograph: Study Elements and Considerations.'' It does not
establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the
public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. This guidance
is not subject to Executive Order 12866.

II. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the internet may obtain the guidance at

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2019-0002]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: New or modified Base (1-percent annual chance) Flood
Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)
boundaries or zone designations, and/or regulatory floodways
(hereinafter referred to as flood hazard determinations) as shown on
the indicated Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for each of the communities
listed in the table below are finalized. Each LOMR revises the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and in some cases the Flood Insurance
Study (FIS) reports, currently in effect for the listed communities.
The flood hazard determinations modified by each LOMR will be used to
calculate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and their
contents.

DATES: Each LOMR was finalized as in the table below.

ADDRESSES: Each LOMR is available for inspection at both the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the table below and online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
[email protected]; or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final flood hazard determinations as shown in the
LOMRs for each community listed in the table below. Notice of these
modified flood hazard determinations has been published in newspapers
of local circulation and 90 days have elapsed since that publication.
The Deputy Associate Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation has
resolved any appeals resulting from this notification.
    The modified flood hazard determinations are made pursuant to
section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4105, and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65.
    For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is
shown and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
    The new or modified flood hazard information is the basis for the
floodplain management measures that the community is required either to
adopt or to show evidence of being already in effect in order to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
    This new or modified flood hazard information, together with the

floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities.
    This new or modified flood hazard determinations are used to meet
the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and are used to
calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new
buildings, and for the contents in those buildings. The changes in
flood hazard determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to
review the final flood hazard information available at the address
cited below for each community or online through the FEMA Map Service
Center at https://msc.fema.gov.
