A state's HSGP funds for M&A calculation purposes includes the sum total of its SHSP, UASI, and, where applicable, OPSG awards. While the SAA may retain up to five percent (5%) of this total for M&A, the state must still ensure that all sub -recipient award amounts meet the mandatory minimum pass through requirements which are applicable to each HSGP program. To meet this requirement the percentage of SHSP, UASI and OPSG funds passed through to local jurisdictions must be based on the state's total HSGP award prior to withholding any M&A. For additional information on SHSP and UASI M&A, refer to IB 365. For additional clarification on OPSG M&A, refer to DHS/FEMA Policy FP -207-087-1.

Indirect (Facilities & Administrative (F&A)) Costs Indirect costs are allowable under this program as described in 2 C.F.R. § 200.414. With the exception of recipients who have never received a negotiated indirect cost rate as described in 2 C.F.R. § 200.414(f), recipients must have an approved indirect cost rate agreement with their cognizant Federal agency to charge indirect costs to this award. A copy of the approved rate (a fully executed, agreement negotiated with the applicant's cognizant Federal agency) is required at the time of application, and must be provided to DHS/FEMA before indirect costs are charged to the award. E. Application Review Information Allocations Risk Methodology Based upon the requirements of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended, DHS/FEMA continues to use risk to determine final HSGP allocations. DHS/FEMA defines risk as: "potential for an unwanted outcome resulting from an incident, event, or occurrence, as determined by its likelihood and the associated consequences" (see htty://www.dhs.¢ovLelibrarv/assets/dhs-risk-lexicon-2010.pdfl. The DHS/FEMArisk methodology is focused on three elements: • Threat —likelihood of an attack being attempted by an adversary; • Vulnerability — likelihood that an attack is successful, given that it is attempted; and • Consequence — effect of an event, incident or occurrence The risk methodology determines the relative risk of terrorism faced by a given area taking into account the potential risk of terrorism to people, critical infrastructure, and economic security. The analysis includes threats from domestic violent extremists' international terrorist groups, and individuals inspired by terrorists abroad. 17 FY 2015 HSGP NOFO
