<br />Attachment A <br /> <br />FYOS HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM <br /> <br />Pass-Throuah Reauirements <br /> <br />SHSP, UASI, LETPP, and MMRS: Each state shall obligate not less than 80% of <br />the total grant program amount to local units of government, identified urban area <br />jurisdictions, or MMRS subgrantees8 within 60 days of the grant award date. <br /> <br />. UASI: Any funds retained by the state must be used to directly support the <br />urban area. <br /> <br />The state must also obligate funds allocated for nonprofit organizations within <br />60 days of the award date. Funds not obligated at the expiration of 60 days <br />shall revert back to the state for reassessment for award to alternate nonprofit <br />locations. <br /> <br />. MMRS: In states with MMRS jurisdictions, SMs are encouraged to pass <br />100% of the MMRS program funding allocation directly to their MMRS <br />jurisdiction(s). For MMRS jurisdictions representing multiple states9, each <br />SM involved is also encouraged to pass 100% of the funding to the <br />designated fiduciary/coordinating entity. However, states may retain up to <br />20% of the MMRS program funding allocation to facilitate strategy <br />assessment and capability integration between the state and MMRS <br />jurisdictions. Any funds retained by the state must be documented in a <br />written agreement between the SM and Chair of the MMRS Steering <br />Committee(s). <br /> <br />CCP: There are no minimum pass-through requirements for CCP. However, states <br />are expected to work with county, local, and/or tribal Citizen Corps Councils and to <br />expend funds that support local efforts to educate, train, and involve citizens. If the <br />state chooses to subgrant funds to a local unit of government, the recipient must <br />have an existing Citizen Corps Councilor establish a Citizen Corps Council as a <br />condition of receiving the assistance. <br /> <br />EMPG: Each state shall obligate 100% of the total grant program amount to the <br />designated state-level EMA. If the SM is also the EMA, this requirement is <br />automatically met. If the SM is separate, or has separate budget processes, then <br />these funds must be obligated to the EMA within 15 days of the grant award date. <br />State EMAs are encouraged to pass EMPG funds through to local EMAs, as <br />appropriate. <br /> <br />Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Requirements: For any HSGP programs <br />involving pass-through of funds, the state may retain some or all of the local unit of <br />government or urban area's allocation of grant funds for expenditures made by the <br />state on behalf of the local unit of government or urban area only if requested in <br /> <br />8 MMRS subgrantees may be identified, or considered, as entities, departments, or elements of local units of government, such as <br />hospital authorities, coordinating councils, medical centers, educational facilities. etc. <br />9 The Northern New England MMRS jurisdiction is the only jurisdiction represented by multiple states, and includes New <br />Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. <br /> <br />DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY I OFFICE FOR DOMESTIC PREPAREDNESS <br /> <br />21 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
