Providing States with control and flexibility in FMA <br />implementation by empowering States to: <br /> <br />. Determine the process by which State agencies and <br />communities apply for grants. <br /> <br />. Evaluate grant applications. <br /> <br />. Determine funding priorities for planning and project <br />grants. <br /> <br />. Award FMA planning grants. <br /> <br />. Evaluate project grant applications based on minimum <br />eligibility criteria and State priorities. <br /> <br />5. Maintaining consistency among FMA and other FEMA- <br />funded programs to the extent possible in order to minimize <br />the States' administrative workload by: <br /> <br />. Allowing States and communities to submit mitigation <br />plans developed for other FEMA programs with few or no <br />modifications. <br /> <br />. Incorporating States' requests for FMA participation into <br />the annual CA negotiation rather than requiring a separate <br />application process. <br /> <br />. Incorporating FMA reporting requirements into the <br />annual CA reporting requirements. <br /> <br />To support FMA, States should use both their PP A and annual <br />CA to address how they plan to disseminate planning, project, <br />and technical assistance grants, keeping in mind funding <br />limitations over the long term. The ~P NCA can also be used to <br />develop processes for awarding project grants. Goals and <br />objectives relating to FMA should be negotiated between the <br />State and Region, and included in their PP NCA. FMA activities <br />should be linked to specific objectives provided in the State's <br />CA. <br /> <br />FEMA 299/AUGUST 1997 FLOOD MlTtGATION AsSISTANCE (FMA) GUIDANCE <br />
