For the EMPG Program and other preparedness Historic grant programs, this is accomplished through FEMA's Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation Preservation (EHP) review. Any project with the potential to impact natural or biological resources, or historic properties, or involving installation, or that involves Emergency Operation (EHP) Center construction and renovation cannot be initiated until FEMA has completed the required Compliance EHP compliance review. Subrecipients that implement projects prior to receiving EHP approval from FEMA risk de- obligation of fiords. Subrecipients who are proposing communication tower projects are encouraged to complete their Federal Communications Commission (FCC) EHP process prior to preparing their EHP review materials for the Grants Program Directorate (GPD), and to include their FCC EHP materials with their submission to GPD. EMPG Program projects that involve the installation of equipment; ground - disturbing activities; new construction, including communication towers; or modification /renovation of existing buildings or structures must undergo a FEMA EHP review. Note: EHP review requests may require that a confidential California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) report be provided to FEMA.13 Furthermore, for those proposed construction or renovation projects that are part of larger projects funded from a non -FEMA source (such as an Emergency Operation Center that is part of a larger proposed public safety complex), a FEMA EHP review must be completed before the larger project is initiated. For these types of projects, Subrecipients must complete the FEMA EHP Screening Form (OMB Number 1660- 0115/FEMA Form 024 -0 -1)14 and submit it, with all supporting documentation, to Cal OES. Note: Subrecipients should submit the FEMA EHP Screening Form for each applicable project as soon as possible. However, to ensure that ample time exists to allow for the FEMA EHP review and approval process, as well as the subsequent execution of the subaward- funded project, all subrecipient EHP - related documents must be received by Cal OES no later than December 31, 2016. Exceptions to this due date will be at the discretion of Cal OES, based on is Information regarding CHRIS can be obtained at: liup: / /olip.parks.ca.gov/?naee id =1068. t4 The FEMA EHP Screening Form can be located at: https: / /www.fema.gov/ media - library /assets /documents /90195. 55A' -i 29
