<br /> <br /> IBSGP Appendix | February 2021 Page E-3 <br />• Projects related to cybersecurity of access control, sensors, security cameras, badge/ID readers, <br />Industrial Control System (ICS)/Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, <br />process monitors and controls, etc. or passenger/vehicle/cargo security screening equipment <br />support. Cybersecurity assessments are allowable. <br />• Full or Part-Time Staff or Contractors/Consultants. Full or part-time staff or <br />contractors/consultants may be hired to support security enhancement-related activities. Personnel <br />hiring, overtime, and backfill expenses are permitted under this grant only to the extent that such <br />expenses are for the allowable activities within the scope of the grant. Hiring of <br />contractors/consultants must follow the applicable federal procurement requirements at 2 C.F.R. <br />§§ 200.317-200.327. <br /> <br />Note: All Capital and Vehicle/Driver security enhancement projects that include cameras, video <br />surveillance, or alarm systems MUST either be live monitored 24/7 or have the capability for real-time <br />incident-based monitoring. CCTV Systems that are primarily archival and do not clearly specify the <br />ability for live monitoring in the IJ will not be funded. <br /> <br />Equipment Acquisition <br />IBSGP funds must comply with IB 426 and may be used for the following categories of equipment. A <br />comprehensive listing of allowable equipment categories and types is found in the DHS Authorized <br />Equipment List (AEL). These costs include: <br /> <br />• Personal protection equipment <br />• Explosive device mitigation and remediation equipment <br />• Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) operational search and <br />rescue equipment, or logistical support equipment <br />• Interoperable emergency communications equipment <br />• Detection equipment <br />• Terrorism incident prevention equipment <br />• Physical security enhancement equipment <br /> <br />Recipients may purchase equipment not listed on the AEL, but only if they first seek and obtain prior <br />approval from FEMA. <br /> <br />Unless otherwise noted, equipment must be certified as meeting required regulatory and DHS- adopted <br />standards to be eligible for purchase using these funds. Equipment must comply with the Occupational <br />Safety and Health Act requirement for certification of electrical equipment by a nationally recognized <br />testing laboratory and demonstrate compliance with relevant DHS-adopted standards through a supplier’s <br />declaration of conformity with appropriate supporting data and documentation per International <br />Organization for Standardization/International Electro-technical Commission (ISO/IEC) 17050, Parts One <br />and Two. Agencies must have all necessary certifications and licenses for the requested equipment, as <br />appropriate, prior to the request. In addition, recipients that are using IBSGP funds to support emergency <br />communications equipment activities must comply with the SAFECOM Guidance on Emergency <br />Communications Grants, including provisions on technical standards that ensure and enhance <br />interoperable communications. SAFECOM Guidance can be found at: https://www.cisa.gov/safecom. <br /> <br />Cybersecurity Projects <br />IBSGP funds may be used for projects that enhance the cybersecurity of: <br /> <br />• Access controls; sensors; security cameras; badge/ID readers; ICS/SCADA systems; process <br />monitors and controls (such as firewalls, network segmentation, predictive security cloud, etc.).
