FY 2010 Interoperable Emergency Communications Grant Program (IECGP)
Total Funding Available in FY 2010: $48 Million
Purpose: In FY 2010, IECGP provides governance, planning, training and exercise funding to states, territories, and local and tribal governments to carry out initiatives to improve interoperable emergency communications, including communications in collective response to natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and other man-made disasters. If a State Administrative Agent (SAA) and Statewide Interoperability Coordinator (SWIC) / SCIP point of contact certify that its state or territory has fulfilled such governance, planning, training and exercise objectives, the Program provides the flexibility to purchase interoperable communications equipment with any remaining IECGP funds.
Eligible Applicants: All 56 states and territories are eligible to apply for IECGP funds.
Program Awards: In FY 2010, the total amount of funds distributed under IECGP will be $48,000,000. FY 2010 IECGP funds will be allocated based on risk. Each state will receive a minimum allocation under IECGP using the thresholds established in the 9/11 Act. All 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico will receive a minimum of 0.45 percent of the total funds allocated, per the 9/11 Act. Four territories (American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) will receive a minimum allocation of 0.08 percent of the total funds allocated.
