PSGP Appendix | February 2021 Page G-16 may not exceed the period of performance of the award used to purchase the maintenance agreement or warranty. As with warranties and maintenance agreements, this extends to licenses and user fees as well. Grant funds are intended to support the National Preparedness Goal and fund projects that build and sustain the core capabilities necessary to prevent, protect against, mitigate the effects of, respond to, and recover from those threats that pose the greatest risk to the security of the Nation. In order to provide recipients the ability to meet this objective, the policy set forth in IB 379: Guidance to State Administrative Agencies to Expedite the Expenditure of Certain DHS/FEMA Grant Funding allows for the expansion of eligible maintenance and sustainment costs that must be in (1) direct support of existing capabilities; (2) must be an otherwise allowable expenditure under the applicable grant program, and (3) be tied to one of the core capabilities in the five mission areas outlined in the Goal. Additionally, eligible costs may also be in support of equipment, training, and critical resources that have previously been purchased with either federal grant or any other source of funding other than FEMA preparedness grant program dollars. Port-Wide Risk Management Plans Port areas with existing PRMPs are encouraged to maintain their PRMPs and use them to identify projects that will serve to address remaining maritime security vulnerabilities. These ports are also encouraged to develop or maintain a BCRTP. For purposes of regional strategic and tactical planning, these plans must take into consideration all port areas covered by their AMSP, align with the port area’s AMSP, consider the entire port system strategically as a whole, and identify actions designed to effectively mitigate security risks associated with the system’s maritime critical infrastructure and key resources.
