The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is a primary funding mechanism for building and sustaining national preparedness capabilities. HSGP is comprised of four separate grant programs: the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP), the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), the Metropolitan Medical Response Systems (MMRS), and the Citizen Corps Program (CCP). Together, these grants fund a range of preparedness activities, including planning, organization, equipment purchase, training, exercises, and management and administration costs.

From the last OMB approval, OMB Collection 1660-0119, FEMA Preparedness Grants: Operation Stonegarden (OPSG) Collection was a stand-alone program and had its own PRA collection. This program has since been merged into the FEMA Preparedness Grants: Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) collection under OMB Collection 1660-0125 and as a result the burden hours have increased from 308,464 hours to 333,502 hours.
In 2009, OPSG was no longer its own program, the grant program has been incorporated into the HSGP grant and the forms used for the OPSG program has been included in the collection's submission which has resulted in an increase of average burden hours.
