OPSG funds must be used to provide increased operational capabilities to SLTT partners in support <br />of enhanced border security through: <br /> <br />• Enhanced Law Enforcement Presence <br />• Enhanced Situational Awareness <br />• Enhanced Intelligence Collection and Distribution <br /> <br />After awards are announced, prospective recipients will re-scope the draft Operations Order and resubmit <br />it as a final Operations Order with an embedded budget based on actual dollar amounts awarded. The <br />appropriate Sector Headquarters will approve final Operations Orders and forward those orders to <br />Headquarters, Office of Border Patrol, Washington, DC, before funding is released. Recipients may not <br />begin operations, obligate, or expend any funds until FEMA and USBP Headquarters have approved the <br />final Operations Order and the embedded budget and removed any existing special conditions and/or <br />restrictions. <br /> <br />Transportation Costs and Costs Related to the Provision of Acute Medical Care <br />Please see IB 438 for information on transportation costs and costs related to the provision of acute <br />medical care under an OPSG award. <br /> <br />OPSG Operations Order Template and Instructions <br /> <br />Operations Order Template Instructions <br />To access the OPSG Operations Order Template: <br /> <br />• Find the Homeland Security Grant Program posting via the search function on Grants.gov
