I. Program Overview The FY 2007 UASI program provides financial assistance to address the unique multi-discipline planning, operations, equipment, training and exercise needs of high-threat, high-density Urban Areas, and to assist them in building and sustaining capabilities to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from threats or acts of terrorism. The FY 2007 UASI program provides the opportunity to enhance regional preparedness efforts. Urban Areas must employ regional approaches to overall preparedness and are encouraged to adopt regional response structures whenever appropriate to meet the goals identified in the Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy and common, measurable objectives. Security and preparedness officials at all levels should seek opportunities to leverage funding from multiple sources whenever possible and not restrict activities to federal funding alone. According to DHS’s FY07 HSGP grant guidance, the State Administrative Agency (which is the Office of Homeland Security in NYS) must ensure that the identified Urban Areas take an inclusive regional approach to the development and implementation of the FY 2007 UASI program and involve the contiguous jurisdictions, mutual aid partners, port authorities, rail and transit authorities, State agencies, Citizen Corps Councils, and MMRS(s) in their program activities. II. General Guidance, Requirements, and New Information Directions for Completing Application (Guidance): To complete this application for FY07 UASI funds, grantees should review this Program Guidance document and the Application Instructions. Finally, all budgetary and programmatic information should be entered in the NYS Office of Homeland Security’s electronic E-Grants system. Applications for FY07 UASI funds are due to OHS in E-Grants by October 31, 2007. E-Grants System (New Information): The NYS Office of Homeland Security recently acquired its own grants management system called “E-Grants”. E-Grants is similar in style to the older GMS system that OHS had previously utilized from the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS), but this new E-Grants tool has many new capabilities and increased functionality for users. If you have questions about the new E-Grants tool, please consult the “Application Instructions” document included in your award package. For questions not addressed in the packet, please contact OHS’s Grant Hotline at (866) 837-9133.

Period of Performance (New Information): The period of performance for FY07 UASI funds is 36 months. (7/1/07-6/30/10).

Application Linkages (Requirement): All allocations and use of funds under the UASI must support the NYC UASI’s Homeland Security Strategy and one or

Page 4: Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) NYC Urban Area Program Guidance - NYC Office of Homeland Security

more of the UASI’s 11 Investment Justifications (Appendix B). Moreover, all allocations under the UASI must support the National Preparedness Goal, which includes the 8 National Priorities and the 37 Target Capabilities, and the G&T Workplan Codes (Appendix A). For more information on the National Preparedness Goal, please refer to http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/odp/assessments/hspd8.htm. Development of Projects (Guidance): In an effort to ease the application development process for grantees, the NYS Office of Homeland Security is encouraging counties to develop fewer projects under the “work plan” tab in E-Grants. For each project you develop, you will be able to list out the task(s) you will complete in support of that project. By combining related tasks under an overarching project, you will be able to submit a condensed application, thus reducing your workload. Drawdown of Funds/Interest (Requirement): Grantees and subgrantees will be permitted to drawdown funds for up to 120 days prior to expenditure/disbursement. Funds must be placed in an interest bearing account and grantees/subgrantees must account for this interest earned. Local units of government may keep interest earned on Federal grant funds up to $100 per federal fiscal year. This maximum limit is not per award; it is inclusive of all interest earned as a result of all Federal grant program funds received per year. Interest earned in excess of $100 must be remitted to the NYS Office of Homeland Security. Inter-County Coordination and Leveraged Funding (Requirement): Similar to the FY06 UASI application, grantees are asked to describe how they coordinated the development of their FY07 UASI application with their county’s FY07 Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Plan (LETPP) and State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) applications. Also, grantees are required to detail what other preparedness funding (Transit Security Grant Program, EMPG, Citizen Corps, etc.) they have leveraged in support of the projects including in this year’s FY07 UASI application. FY07 NIMS Implementation (Requirement): All jurisdictions in NYS are expected to meet the FY07 NIMS implementation requirements imposed by the federal Department of Homeland Security. Please contact NYS’s NIMS Information Coordinator, Dan Reardon, if you have questions about NIMS implementation. (Dan Reardon; NYS Office of Homeland Security; (315) 768-5681; [email protected]) Tribal Nations (Requirement): For recognized Tribal Nations with County boundaries, it is expected that applications will reflect homeland security-related concerns and interests of any recognized Tribal Nation contained in whole or in part within the county.

Notice of Waiver for FY07 HSGP Funds (Guidance): Jurisdictions may choose from the following options if they do not want to accept their FY07 HSGP award:

1. Jurisdictions may request that the State retain the local unit of government’s allocation of grant funds and spend it on their jurisdiction’s behalf; or

2. Jurisdictions may refuse an allocation for their jurisdiction with the understanding that the allocation will be expended by the State of New York in direct support of other local homeland security efforts in accordance with FY07 grant guidelines.

If your jurisdiction wishes to exercise either of the above options, please contact the NYS Office of Homeland Security at (866) 837-9133.

III. Authorized Program Expenditures Planning Urban Areas may use FY 2007 UASI funds for multi-discipline planning efforts to prioritize needs, update preparedness strategies, allocate resources, and deliver preparedness programs. These efforts include the collection and analysis of intelligence and information and the development of policies, plans, procedures, mutual aid agreements, strategies, and other publications that comply with relevant laws, regulations, and guidance necessary to perform assigned missions and tasks. It is explicitly permissible to use planning funds to hire government and/or contractor personnel to conduct allowable planning activities. For a complete list of allowable planning costs, please refer to Appendix C: Allowable Cost Matrix. Organizational Costs Organizational Costs are allowable under the FY07 UASI grant, however, no more than 25% of your UASI award may be used for the allowable organizational costs outlined below.

• Operation overtime costs associated with increased security measures at critical infrastructure sites during DHS-declared periods of heightened alerts. This includes:

o Backfill and overtime expenses for staffing State or local emergency operations centers (EOCs) and/or fusion centers.

o Hiring of contracted security for critical infrastructure sites. o Public safety overtime o Increased border security activities in coordination with U.S.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP), as outlined in G&T Information Bulletin #135 (http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/odp/docs/bulletins.htm)

Consumable costs, such as fuel expenses, are not allowed.

• Full-Time Counterterrorism Staffing Pilot: The NYS UASI has been

identified as one of seven “Tier 1” Urban Areas by DHS in FY07. As such, the NYC UASI is eligible to participate in the FY07 Full-Time Counterterrorism Staffing Pilot. Under this pilot, the NYPD and the Port Authority Police Department will be able to use FY07 UASI funds to support non-overtime (or regular time) costs for existing positions that are currently assigned to full-time counterterrorism duties, including intergovernmental assignments. (Counterterrorism duties include such activities as intelligence gathering, information-sharing, and surveillance). Costs associated with newly hired personnel or regular time for personnel

at all engaged in traditional public safety or non-counterterrorism duties in these jurisdictions are ineligible.

o Within 60 days of the grant award, agencies participating in the pilot must submit a detailed audit process to DHS to ensure that no new personnel are being supported by the pilot; that supported personnel are involved only in counterterrorism activities; and that the objectives outlined in the “Counterterrorism Staffing Pilot Program” Investment (submitted by the NYC UASI) are being fulfilled. Findings from these audit activities must be submitted to DHS for review on a semiannual basis.

• Up to 10% of FY07 UASI funds may be used for operational overtime costs incurred in UASI jurisdictions during Code Yellow and higher alert levels. The remaining 15% may be used to support costs incurred during Code Orange and higher alert levels. Operational overtime costs incurred at National Special Security Events (NSSEs) in UASI jurisdictions, as designated by the Secretary of Homeland Security, are also allowed.

• Overtime costs are allowable for personnel to participate in information, investigative, and intelligence sharing activities specifically related to homeland security. This includes activities such as anti-terrorism task forces, Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs), Area Maritime Security Committees, DHS Border Enforcement Security Task Forces, and Integrated Border Enforcement Teams.

• UASI funds may be used to hire new staff and/or contractor positions to serve as intelligence analysts to enable information/intelligence sharing capabilities. In order to be hired as an intelligence analyst, staff and/or contractor personnel must meet at least one of the following criteria:

o Successfully complete training to ensure baseline proficiency in intelligence analysis and production within six months of being hired; and/or

o Previously served as an intelligence analyst for a minimum of two years either in a Federal intelligence agency, the military, or State and/or local law enforcement intelligence unit.

Note: A certificate of completion of all intelligence analyst training must be kept of file with the NYS Office of Homeland Security. Also, costs associated with hiring intelligence analysts are allowable only for two years, after which grantees shall be responsible for supporting the sustainment costs for those intelligence analysts.

Equipment FY07 UASI funds may be used for equipment acquisition from the 21 equipment categories listed in the FY 2007 G&T Authorized Equipment List (AEL). The AEL is available in its entirety online through the Responders Knowledge Base (RKB) at http://www.rkb.mipt.org.
