Summary:
The purpose of this program is to enhance the ability of state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments, as well as nonprofit organizations, to prevent, protect against, and respond to terrorist attacks. This program is part of the funding agency's comprehensive set of measures to help strengthen the nation's communities against potential terrorist attacks.
All assets supported in part or entirely through this program must be readily deployable and National Incident Management System (NIMS)-typed, when possible, to support emergency or disaster operations per existing Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) agreements.
All emergency communications investments must align with needs identified in the applicant's statewide communication interoperability plan (SCIP). Applicants must also coordinate with their statewide interoperability coordinator (SWIC) and/or statewide interoperability governing body (SIGB) when developing the emergency communications investment, as detailed on pages 37-38 of the NOFA file.
Funding will be provided for the following program components:
- (Part A): State Homeland Security Program (SHSP)
- (Part D): Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI)
- (Part G): Operation Stonegarden (OPSG)
The purpose of the Operation Stonegarden (OPSG) component is to support enhanced cooperation and coordination among Customs and Border Protection (CBP); U.S. Border Patrol (USBP); and federal and SLTT law enforcement agencies to improve overall border security. Funding will support joint efforts to secure U.S. borders along routes of ingress/egress to and from international borders, including travel corridors in states bordering Mexico and Canada, as well as states and territories with international water borders. SLTT law enforcement agencies will utilize their inherent law enforcement authorities to support the border security mission and do not receive any additional authority as a result of participation in this component.
All projects must address the priority area of enhancing information and intelligence sharing and analysis, as well as cooperation with federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Examples of eligible projects include:
- Participation in the DHS Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE's) 287(g) training program
- Information sharing with all DHS components; fusion centers; other operational, investigative, and analytic entities; and other federal law enforcement and intelligence entities
- Cooperation with DHS officials and other entities designated by DHS in intelligence, threat recognition, assessment, analysis, and mitigation
- Identification, assessment, and reporting of threats of violence
- Joint intelligence analysis training and planning with DHS officials and other entities designated by DHS
Refer to pages 41-44 of the NOFA file for information regarding eligible costs for this component.
Eligible state administrative agencies (SAAs) must apply on behalf of local units of government and federally recognized tribal governments in states bordering Canada or Mexico and states and territories with international water borders. Participating counties and tribal governments must develop a concept of operations (CONOP)/application, which is a formal proposal of action to address a specific situation and forms the basis for operations orders, in coordination with state and federal law enforcement agencies, as detailed on pages 35-36 of the NOFA file.
