The purpose of this Information Bulletin (IB) is to provide for Extension of timeline and due dates on 
Tier I and Tier II Fiduciary Agent Deliverables under the FY 2007 Supplemental Port Security Grant 
Program (PSGP). The information contained in this bulletin should be considered an addendum to

remain unchanged. Actual deliverables remain unchanged.

are still expected to submit the following documents to the Office for Domestic Preparedness Secure

The original timeline proposed in the FY 2007 Supplemental PSGP Guidance was based on best available 
information at the time. Based on a review of the 25 Concept of Operations submitted by Tier I and Tier 
II Fiduciary Agents, the PSGP Executive Steering Committee comprised of representatives from the 
Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA); United States 
Coast Guard (USCG); Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Department of Transportation’s 
Maritime Administration (MARAD), has recommended amending the timeline and due dates for the 
aforementioned deliverables. The revised timeline contained in the IB supersedes the timeline originally 
published in the FY 2007 Supplemental PSGP Guidance.
