PSGP Appendix | February 2021 Page G-1 Program Appendix G: Port Security Grant Program (PSGP) As a reminder, while this appendix contains PSGP-specific information and requirements, the main content of this Manual (non-appendix information) contains important information relevant to all preparedness grant programs, including the PSGP. Please be sure to read the main content of this Manual in addition to the program-specific appendices. PSGP grant recipients and subrecipients may only use PSGP grant funds for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), and all investments must be consistent with the statutory authority for the award. These grant funds may not be used for matching funds for other federal awards, lobbying, or intervention in federal regulatory or adjudicatory proceedings. In addition, federal funds may not be used to sue the Federal Government or any other government entity. PSGP Funding Guidelines Costs charged to a PSGP award must be consistent with the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, located at 2 C.F.R. Part 200. For more information on 2 C.F.R. Part 200, please visit Information Bulletin (IB) 400 regarding FEMA’s implementation of these provisions prior to the recent 2020 revisions. For information on the recent revisions to these regulations, see 2 CFR Grants Management Policy Updates | FEMA.gov and www.performance.gov/CAP/grants/. PSGP Priorities See the annual PSGP NOFO. Limitations on Funding As part of the PSGP application process, applicants must complete the approved Investment Justification (IJ) template provided addressing each initiative being proposed for funding. A separate IJ should be submitted for each proposed project which should represent the complete scope of work and materials required to achieve a single overall capability. For example, a project could be to procure a boat specifically designed and equipped as chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives (CBRNE) detection, prevention, response, and/or recovery platform. The IJ for this example project should include the CBRNE equipment in the same IJ as the vessel. In accordance with 46 U.S.C. § 70107(b)(2), PSGP funding for projects for the cost of acquisition, operation, and maintenance of security equipment or facilities to be used for security monitoring and recording, security gates and fencing, marine barriers for designated security zones, security-related lighting systems, remote surveillance, concealed video systems, security vessels, and other security- related infrastructure or equipment that contributes to the overall security of passengers, cargo, or crewmembers cannot exceed $1 million federal share per project. The $1 million per project limitation applies only to those projects funded under 46 U.S.C. § 70107(b)(2) and does not apply to projects funded under other provisions of Section 70107.
