C. Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) Compliance FEMA is legally required to consider the potential impacts of all grant- funded projects on environmental resources and historic properties. For HSGP and other preparedness grant programs, this is accomplished via FEMA's EHP Review. Grantees must comply with all applicable EHP laws, regulations, and Executive Orders (EOs) in order to draw down their FY 2011 HSGP grant funds. Any project with the potential to impact natural resources or historic properties cannot be initiated until FEMA has completed the required FEMA EHP review. Grantees that implement projects prior to receiving EHP approval from FEMA risk de- obligation of funds. HSGP projects that involve the installation of equipment, exercises not specifically excluded from a FEMA EHP review per the GPD Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) (for more information on the PEA see IB 345 and http: / /www. fema. qov /pdf/ government /grantlbulletinslfonsi pdf), ground- disturbing activities, new construction, including communication towers, or modification /renovation of existing buildings or structures must undergo a FEMA EHP review. Furthermore, for those proposed construction or renovation projects that are part of larger projects funded from a non -FEMA source (such as an EOC that is part of a larger proposed public safety complex), a FEMA EHP review must be complete before the larger project is initiated. For these types of projects, grantees must complete the FEMA EHP Screening Form (OMB Number 1660 -0115 /FEMA Form 024 -0 -01) and submit it, with all supporting documentation, to the GPD EHP team at GPDEHPInfo(a)fema.gov for review. Grantees should submit the FEMA EHP Screening Form for each project as soon as possible upon receiving grant award. Refer to IBs 329, 345, and 356 located at http: // www. fema .qov /governm ent/grant/bulle tin s /index shtm and Section /1, Part 1.8.5.5.6 for further details on EHP requirements. The following activities would not require the submission of the FEMA EHP Screening Form: planning and development of policies or processes; management, administrative or personnel actions; classroom -based training; table top exercises; and acquisition of mobile and portable equipment (not involving installation). 54
