Exercises funded under the PSGP typically include Seminars, Workshops, Tabletop, Functional, Drills, and Full-Scale exercises. PSGP-funded exercises must have a maritime security focus and include applicable documentation, after action reports, and improvement plans. See below for additional information. Maritime entity training needs and qualification requirements of incident response personnel should be regularly tested through emergency exercises and drills. Exercises must test operational protocols that would be implemented in the event of a terrorist attack in the maritime environment in accordance with the Area Maritime Security Training Exercise Program (AMSTEP) or the TSA Intermodal Security Training Exercise Program (I-STEP) guidelines. AMSTEP or I-STEP exercises will follow the latest change in requirements contained in the Navigation and Inspection Circular (NVIC) 09-02. Exercises must be designed, developed and conducted consistent with the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP). Funding used for exercises will only be permitted for those exercises that are in direct support of a MTSA-regulated facility or a port area’s MTSA-required exercises (see 33 C.F.R. § 105.220 for a facility and 33 C.F.R. § 103.515 for the AMSP). These exercises must be coordinated with the COTP and AMSC and be consistent with HSEEP. More information on HSEEP may be found at https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/national-preparedness/exercises/hseep. Some exercise activities require EHP Review, including exercises, drills or trainings that require any type of land, water, or vegetation disturbance or building of temporary structures or that are not located at facilities designed to conduct training and exercises. Additional information on training requirements and EHP review can be found online at https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/90195.
