U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY FY 2012 Preparedness Grant Programs Overview Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) Program Tribal Homeland Security Grant Program (THSGP) Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) Intercity Passenger Rail (Amtrak) Program Port Security Grant Program (PSGP) Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP) February 2012 Grant Programs Directorate Homeland Security Preparedness Grant Programs Overview On March 30, 2011, the President released Presidential Policy Directive - 8 (PPD-8), which focuses on strengthening the security and resilience of the United States through systematic preparation for the threats that pose the greatest risk to the security of the nation, including acts of terrorism, cyber attacks, pandemics, and catastrophic natural disasters. As defined in PPD-8, national preparedness refers to “the actions taken to plan, organize, equip, train and exercise to build and sustain the capabilities necessary to prevent, protect against, mitigate the effects of, respond to, and recover from those threats that pose the greatest risk to the security of the Nation.” National preparedness is the shared responsibility of all levels of government, the private and nonprofit sectors, and individual citizens. The objective of PPD-8 is to facilitate an integrated, all-of- Nation, capabilities-based approach to preparedness. One of the core missions of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is to enhance the ability of state, territory, local, and tribal governments to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks and other disasters. DHS’ comprehensive suite of homeland security preparedness grant programs are an important part of the Administration’s larger, coordinated effort to strengthen homeland security preparedness. These programs implement objectives addressed in a series of post- Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-53) (“hereafter “9/11 Act”) laws, strategy documents, plans, and presidential policy directives to include PPD-8. The following is a summary of the DHS grant programs which are being announced on February 17, 2012. The following pages outline greater details and background information with respect to these programs.

Eligible Applicants: The SAA is the only entity eligible to apply to FEMA for NSGP funds on behalf of eligible nonprofit organizations (as described under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986). Eligible nonprofit organizations determined to be at high risk of a terrorist attack and located within one of the specific FY 2012 UASI- eligible urban areas must apply for funding through their SAA. Program Awards: FY 2012 NSGP funds will be allocated based on risk analysis, effectiveness, and integration with broader state and local preparedness efforts. Each nonprofit organization may apply through their SAA for up to a $75,000 grant award. 6 Intercity Passenger Rail (Amtrak) Program Total Funding Available in FY 2012: $10,000,000 Purpose: The Intercity Passenger Rail (IPR) - Amtrak Program provides funding to Amtrak to develop security enhancements for eligible intercity passenger rail operations. The FY 2012 IPR plays an important role in the implementation of PPD-8 by supporting the development and sustainment of core capabilities to fulfill the NPG. Eligible Applicants: The eligible applicant under the FY 2012 IPR Program is the National Passenger Railroad Corporation (Amtrak). Amtrak is the only entity eligible to apply for funding under the FY 2012 IPR Program. Program Awards: DHS will partner with Amtrak to develop security enhancements for eligible intercity passenger rail operations in all eligible UASI areas Amtrak passes through or services. Port Security Grant Program (PSGP) Total Funding Available in FY 2012: $97,500,000 Purpose: PSPG provides funding for transportation infrastructure security activities to implement Area Maritime Transportation Security Plans and facility security plans among port authorities, facility operators, and state and local government agencies required to provide port security services. The purpose of the FY 2012 PSGP is to support increased port-wide risk management; enhanced domain awareness; training and exercises; expansion of port recovery and resiliency capabilities; and further capabilities to prevent, detect, respond to, and recover from attacks involving improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and other non-conventional weapons; and competitively award grant funding to assist ports in obtaining the resources required to support the NPG’s associated mission areas and core capabilities. Eligible Applicants: Seven port areas have been selected as Group I (highest risk), 48 port areas have been selected as Group II, and 35 port areas have been selected as Group III. Ports not identified in Group I, II, or III will compete for the funding identified for the “All Other Port Areas” Group. Ports that qualified under the “All Other Port Areas” category that are located within Group I, II, or III areas are allowed to receive grant funds from their geographically proximate higher group if the project has regional impact across the entire port area, but not from both funding groups for the same project. Program Awards: DHS has apportioned a percentage of the total amount available to each of the port area groups. Port areas will compete for funding within their specific group. 7 Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP) Total Funding Available in FY 2012: $87,500,000 Purpose: TSGP provides funds to owners and operators of transit systems (which include intracity bus, commuter bus, ferries, and all forms of passenger rail) to protect critical surface transportation infrastructure and the traveling public from acts of terrorism and to increase the resilience of transit infrastructure. The FY 2012 TSGP plays an important role in the implementation of PPD-8 by supporting the development and sustainment of core capabilities to fulfill the NPG. Eligible Applicants: Eligible transit agencies are determined based on daily unlinked passenger trips (ridership) and transit systems that serve historically eligible Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) jurisdictions. Certain ferry systems are eligible to participate in the FY 2012 TSGP and receive funds. However, any ferry system electing to participate and receive funds under the FY 2012 TSGP will not be eligible to participate under the FY 2012 Port Security Grant Program (PSGP), and will not be considered for funding under the FY 2012 PSGP. Likewise, any ferry system that participates in the PSGP will not be eligible for funding under the TSGP. Program Awards: DHS intends to focus its available transit security grant dollars on the highest-risk systems through a competitive process. DHS has identified critical infrastructure assets of national concern through the Top Transit Asset List (TTAL). Critical infrastructure assets are those vital to the functionality and continuity of a major transit system such that that their incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on security, national economic security, public health or safety, or any combination thereof. With the creation of the TTAL, DHS can now target funding to the remediation of those assets on the list in an informed and risk-based approach. 8 FY 2012 Funding Tables Table 1.
