There is no standard form required for the local community application to
the State for the HMGP. However, Stales may provide potential
applicants with a Stale application form, a copy of this section, or the
HMGP Applicant Handbook to encourage complete applications in a
uniform formal NEMIS also provides a model application outline for
State use. (See Job Aid 6-4.)

Job Aid 6-4

There are 10 sections in the project application that must be completed by the

Subpart N requirement 44 CFR 206.434(b)(5)(iii) reads, in part: .... project has been
determined to be the most practical, effective, and environmentally sound altemative
after considering a range of options..

e

Section 4 of the proposal should clearly demonstrate that other options were
considered, and the reasons why they were not selected.

TIP: Refer to the HMGP Applicant Handbook for
further detail.

The State makes a single application to FEMA representing all the local
applications selected by the State in priority order. This application
usually takes the form of Standard Forms 424 and 424d as a cover
sheet, with the selected local applications attached. If the State does not
send all local applications at one time, it may amend the initial
application with an amended Standard Form 424 and additional local
applications attached. Managing States submit proj~ summaries
instead of local applications. (See Job Aid 6-3 for a sample Standard
Form 424.)

'i'

Some States send an SF 424 as a cover sheet for each project. This is
not required.
