SHSP Allocations FY 2015 SHSP fimds will be allocated based on three factors: minimum amounts as legislatively mandated, DHS/FEMA's risk methodology, and anticipated effectiveness of proposed projects. Anticipated effectiveness is assessed based on the applicant's description of how proposed projects, as outlined in the investment Justification's (IJ's), align with state THIRA and SPR results. Each state and territory will receive a minimum allocation under SHSP using thresholds established in the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. All 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico will receive 0.35 percent of the total funds allocated for grants under Section 2003 and Section 2004 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. Four territories (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) will receive a minimum allocation of 0.08 percent of the total funds allocated for grants under Section 2003 and 2004 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended.

UASI Allocations FY 2015 UASI funds will be allocated based on DHS/FEMA's risk methodology and anticipated effectiveness of proposed projects. Anticipated effectiveness is assessed based on the applicant's description of how proposed projects, as outlined in the IJ's, align with the Urban Area THIRA. Eligible candidates for the FY 2015 UASI program have been determined through an analysis of relative risk of terrorism faced by the 100 most populous Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) in the United States, in accordance with the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. Detailed information on MSAs is publicly available from the United States Census Bureau at http •//www census nov/population/wwvvImetrocireaslmetrodef html.

OPSG Allocations The FY 2015 OPSG Risk Assessment is designed to identify the risk to border security and to assist with the distribution of funds for the grant program. Funding under OPSG is distributed based on the risk to the security of the border. Entities eligible for funding are the state, local and Tribal law enforcement agencies that are located along the border of the United States. For the purposes of OPSG, risk is defined as the potential for an adverse outcome assessed as a function of threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences associated with an incident, event, or occurrence. Based upon ongoing intelligence analysis and extensive security reviews, DHS/FEMA continues to focus the bulk of OPSG funds based upon risk analyses. The risk model used to allocate OPSG funds considers the potential risk that certain threats pose to border security and estimate the relative risk faced by a given area. In evaluating risk, DHS/FEMA considers the populations in a particular area that could be at risk, the concentration of people in the area, and specific characteristics of their location that might contribute to risk, such as Intelligence Community assessments of threat and the potential impacts that the threats pose to the security of the border 18 FY 2015 HSGP NOFO
