5. 5 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS  Idaho remains highly dependent on Federal grant programs at both the State and local areas.  Idaho is constantly seeking alternatives from the grant cycles of the previous years and the status quo expectations of our constituencies  Idaho is always interested in new and better ways of conducting our emergency and mitigation management functions and we rely on the best practices and learning opportunities afforded us.  We urge our Federal partners to always be mindful of the multi-level burdens of regulations and laws
