demonstrated nexus to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, and responding to acts of
terrorism. However, such projects may simultaneously support enhanced preparedness for disasters
unrelated to acts of terrorism.
DHS/FEMA also requires SHSP and UASI recipients (e.g., states, territories, and high -risk urban
areas) to complete a THIRA/SPR and prioritize grant funding to support closing capability gaps or

For FY 2020, DHS/TEIVIA will award SHSP funds based on risk and the anticipated effectiveness of
the proposed use of grant funds upon completion of the application review process. The following
table identifies the targeted SHSP allocation ranges for each State based on DHSIFEMA's relative
risk methodology pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. States are strongly
encouraged to apply for funding at least 15% over the high end of their target allocation range as
ineffective applications will not be funded. Final award amounts will be based on DHS/FEMA's
evaluation of the effectiveness of proposed investments and projects.
Regardless of the amount of a State's targeted SHSP allocation range, each State must include a
separate investment for each of the four national priority areas identified in the Priorities section,
above. The funding level in each national priority area investment must equal or exceed the
percentage for that respective national priority area, calculated as a percentage of the State's targeted
SHSP allocation in the table below. For the states that receive a target allocation in excess of the
minimum, the percentage is calculated against the high end of the range, as displayed in the table
below. DHS/FEMA will make final award determinations based upon a review of the anticipated
effectiveness of the State's application as described in Section D, below. Final awards are based on
whether the State has proposed investments in each of the four national priority areas in an amount
equal to or greater than the percentage for that priority area and based on the effectiveness review.
Agreement No. 6310
EXHIBIT F
DHSIFEMA will allocate to each state and territory a minimum allocation under the SHSP using
thresholds established in the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. The minimum allocation
for all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is 0.35 percent of
the total funds appropriated for grants under Section 2003 and Section 2004 of the Homeland
Security Act of 2002, as amended. The minimum allocation for the four territories (American Samoa,
Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) is 0.08 percent of the total funds
appropriated for grants under Section 2003 and 2004 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as
amended. THIRAiSPR results do not impact grant allocation or award.
Regardless of the final award amount, a state must invest SHSP funding in each of the four national
priority areas in an amount equal to or greater than percentage identified above for each national
priority area, as approved by DHSIFEMA.

Eligible candidates for the FY 2020 UASI program are identified in the table below. Eligibility
has 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 httL)s:/�'www.census.gov�pgl&MML

For FY 2020, DHS/FEMA will award UASI funds based on risk and the anticipated
effectiveness of the proposed use of grant funds upon completion of the application review
process. The following table identifies the targeted UASI allocations for each high -risk urban
area based on DHS/FEMA's relative risk methodology pursuant to the Homeland Security Act
of 2002, as amended. Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply for funding at least 15%
over the high end of their target allocation range as ineffective applications will not be funded.
Final award amounts will be based on DHS/FEMA's evaluation of the effectiveness of
proposed investments and projects.
In its application, each high -risk urban area, through the State, must include a separate
investment for each of the four national priority areas identified in the Priorities section, above.
The funding level in each national priority area investment must equal or exceed the
percentage for that respective national priority area, calculated as a percentage of the high -risk
urban area's targeled UASI allocation 'In the table below. The percentage is calculated against
the high end of the range, as displayed in the table below. DHS/FEMA will make final award
determinations based upon a review of the anticipated effectiveness of the high -risk urban
area's application as described in Section D, below. Final awards are based on whether the
State has proposed investments in each of the four national priority areas in an amount equal to
or greater than the percentage for that priority area and based on the effectiveness review.

OPSG Allocations
For FY 2020, DHS/FEMA will award OPSG funds based on risk and the anticipated
effectiveness of the proposed use of grant funds upon completion of the application review
process. The FY 2020 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 and the effectiveness of the proposed
projects. Entities eligible for funding are the state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies

funds considers the potential risk that certain threats pose to border security and estimates the
relative risk faced by a given area. In evaluating risk, DHS/CBP considers intelligence,
situational awareness, criminal trends, and statistical data • to each of the border sectors,
and the potential impacts that these threats pose to the security of the border area. For
vulnerability and consequence, DHS/CBP considers the expected impact and consequences of
successful border events occurring in specific areas.
Threat and vulnerability are evaluated based on specific operational data from DHS/Cl3P.

HSGP Specific Application Instructions
Development of the Investment Justcation (SHSP and UASI)
As part of the FY 2020 HSGP application process for SHSP and UASI funds, applicants must
develop fon-nal investment justifications ([Js) that address the proposed investments. Failure to
fulfill of all of the terms contained in this section will be considered by DHS/FEMA in its
evaluation of the effectiveness of the Us in accordance with the Risk Methodology and
Effectiveness Review described in the Application Review Information and may result in
rejection of proposed investments or reduced funding allocations.
Each IJ must demonstrate how proposed investments:
* Support terrorism preparedness;
* Support closing capability gaps or sustaining capabilities identified in the community's
THIRA/SPR process; and
Support the overcoming of existing logistical, technological, legal, policy, and other
impediments to collaborating, networking, sharing Information, cooperating, and
fostering a culture of national preparedness with federal, state, tribal, and local
governments, as well as other regional, and nonprofit partners in efforts to prevent,
prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism, to meet its target
capabilities, support the national security mission of DHS and other federal agencies, and
to otherwise reduce the overall risk to the high -risk urban area, the State, or the Nation.

and functioning of critical infrastructure and core capabilities as they relate to preventing,

of FY 2020 HSGP grant awards will be required to complete the 2020 Nationwide
Cybersecuri!y Revie (NCSR), enabling agencies to benchmark and measure progress of
improving their cybersecurity posture. The CIO, CISO or equivalent for each recipient should
complete the NCSR. If there is no CIO or CISO, the most senior cybersecurity professional
should complete the assessment. The NCSR is available at no cost to the user and takes
approximately 2-3 hours to complete. The 2020 NCSR will be open from October — December
2020.
• The NCSR is an annual requirement for recipients and subrecipients of HSGP funds.
Additionally, FEMA recognizes that some subawards will not be issued until after the
NCSR has closed. In such cases, such subrecipients will be required to complete the first
available NCSR offered after the subaward has been issued by the pass -through entity.
• Although not required by SLTTs that did not receive HSGP funds, all SLTT agencies with
preparedness responsibilities are highly encouraged to participate and complete the NCSR
to evaluate their cybersecurity posture. For detailed inforination and background on the
NCSR, please see Infori-nation Bulletin 439.
In January 2017, the Department of Homeland Security designated the infrastructure used to
administer the Nation's elections as critical infrastructure. This designation recognizes that the
United States' election infrastructure is of such vital importance to the American way of life that
its incapacitation or destruction would have a devastating effect on the country. Securing
election infrastructure and ensuring an election free from foreign interference are national
security priorities. Threats to election systems are constantly evolving, so defending these
systems requires constant vigilance, innovation, and adaptation.
Given the importance of the Nation's election infrastructure, and the multiple and evolving
threats to that infrastructure, at least one project within this investment must be in support of the
state's efforts to enhance election security. Additional resources and information regarding
election security are available through the and Infrastructure Security A Lency,

Soft Target Investment Justification (5 percent)
Soft targets and crowded places are increasingly appealing to terrorists and other extremist actors
because of their relative accessibility and the large number of potential targets. This challenge is
complicated by the prevalent use of simplc tactics and less sophisticated attacks. Segments of
our society are inherently open to the general public, and by nature of their purpose do not
incorporate strict security measures. Given the increased emphasis by terrorists and other
extremist actors to leverage less sophisticated methods to inflict harm in public areas, it is vital
that the public and private sectors collaborate to enhance security of locations such as
transportation centers, parks, restaurants, shopping centers, special event venues, and similar
facilities.
Given the increased risk to soft targets and crowded places, at least one investment must be in
support of the state's efforts to protect soft targets/crowded places. Additionally, the proposed
investment must meet or exceed the FY 2020 national priority percentage for soft
of the proposed investments in order to receive a full allocation of SHSP funds. Additional
resources and information regarding securing soft targets and crowded places are available

Information Sharing and Cooperation Investment Justification (5 percent)
Effective homeland security operations rely on timely Infor-mation sharing and actionable
intelligence to accurately assess and prevent threats against the United States. Accordingly, DHS
capabilities to ensure partners, stakeholders, and senior leaders receive actionable intelligence
and information necessary to inform their decisions and operations. A critical and statutorily
charged mission of DHS is to deliver intelligence and information to federal, state, local, and
tribal governments and private sector partners. Cooperation and information sharing among
state, federal, and local partners across all areas of the homeland security enterprise, including
counterterrorism, cybersecurity, border security, immigration enforcement, and other areas is
critical to homeland security operations and the prevention of, preparation for, protection
against, and responding to acts of terrorism.
Given the importance of information sharing and collaboration to effective homeland security
colutions, at least one investment must be in support of the state's efforts to enhance informatio.LL

sharing are available through the Department's Office of Intelligence and Analysis.
Emerging Threats Investment Justification (5 percent)
The spread of rapidly evolving and innovative technology, equipment, techniques, and
knowledge presents new and emerging dangers for homeland security in the years ahead.
Terrorists remain intent on acquiring weapons of mass destruction (WMD) capabilities, and
rogue nations and non -state actors are aggressively working to develop, acquire, and modemize
WMDs that they could use against the Homeland. Meanwhile, biological and chemical materials
and technologies with dual use capabilities are more accessible throughout the global market.
Due to the proliferation of such information and technologies, rogue nations and no -state actors
have more opportunities to develop, acquire, and use WMDs than ever before. Similarly, the
proliferation of unmanned aircraft systems, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology increase
opportunities of threat actors to acquire and use these capabilities against the United States and
its interests.

the user and takes approximately 2- 3 hours to complete. The 2020 NCSR will be open from
October — December 2020.
* The NCSR is an annual requirement for recipients and subrecipients of HSGP funds.
Additionally, FEMA recognizes that some subawards will not be issued until after the
NCSR has closed. In such cases, such subrecipients will be required to complete the first
available NCSR offered after the subaward has been issued by the pass -through entity.
* Although not required by SLTTs that did not receive HSGP funds, all SLTT agencies
with preparedness responsibilities are highly encouraged to participate and complete the
NCSR to evaluate their cybersecurity posture. For detailed information and background on
the NCSR, please see Information Bulletin 439.
Agreement No. 6310
In January 2017, the Department of Homeland Security designated the infrastructure used to
.?dminister the Nation's elections as critical infrastructure. This designation recognizes that the
United States' election infrastructure is of such vital importance to the American way of life that
its incapacitation or destruction would have a devastating effect on the country. Securing
election infrastructure and ensuring an election free from foreign interference are national
r.ecurity priorities. Threats to election systems are constantly evolving, so defending these
systems requires constant vigilance, innovation, and adaptation.

Soft Target Investment Justification (5 percent)
Soft targets and crowded places arc increasingly appealing to terrorists and other extremist actors
because of their relative accessibility and the large number of potential targets. This challenge is
complicated by the prevalent use of simple tactics and less sophisticated attacks. Segments of
our society are inherently open to the general public, and by nature of their purpose do not
incorporate strict security measures. Given the increased emphasis by terrorists and other
extremist actors to leverage less sophisticated methods to inflict harm in public areas, it is vital
that the public and private sectors collaborate to enhance security of locations such as
transportation centers, parks, restaurants, shopping centers, special event venues, and similar
facilities.
Given the increased risk to soft targets and crowded places, at least one investment must be in
support of the urban area's efforts to protect soft targets/crowded places. Additionally, the
proposed investment must meet or exceed the FY 2020 national priority percentage for soft
targets/crowded places and will also be subject to DHS/FEMA's evaluation of the effectiveness
of the proposed investments, 'In order to receive a full allocation of UASI funds. Additional
resources and information regarding securing soft targets and crowded places are available
through the C bersecurijyapd-hjfra�iru
As noted above, given the importance of the Nation's election infrastructure, and the multiple
and evolving threats to that infrastructure, at least one project within this investment must be in
support of the state's efforts to enhance election security. Additional resources and information
regarding election security are available through the C ber�equrity I st cture Sccuri -arid t1(r4--ru1--11

capabilities to ensure partners, stakeholders, and senior leaders receive actionable intelligence
and information necessary to inform their decisions and operations. A critical and statutorily
charged mission of DHS is to deliver intelligence and information to federal, state, local, and
tribal governments and private sector partners. Cooperation and inforination sharing among
state, federal, and local partners across all areas of the homeland security enterprise, including
counterterrorism, cybersecurity, border security, immigration enforcement, and other areas is

Given the importance of information sharing and collaboration to effective homeland security
solutions, at least one investment must be in support of the urban area's efforts to enhance
information sharing and cooperation with DHS and other federal agencies. As noted above, this
requirement must include at least one dedicated fusion center project. Additional instructions on
development of the fusion center project can be found below. Applicants must justify
persuasively how they will contribute to the information sharing and collaboration purposes of
the investment and a culture of national preparedness, including how they will identify, address,
and overcome any existing laws, policies, and practices that prevent information sharing.
Additionally, the proposed investment must meet or exceed the FY 2020 national priority
percentage for information sharing and cooperation with DHS, and will also be subject to

full allocation of UASI funds. Additional resources and information regarding collaboration and
information sharing are available through the Department's Off �jce �of ln�telli e!Lcq,4qd, AnalyLis.
Emerging Threats Investment Justification (5 percent)
The spread of rapidly evolving and innovative technology, equipment, techniques, and
knowledge presents new and emerging dangers for homeland security in the years ahead.
Terrorists remain intent on acquiring weapons of mass destruction (WMD) capabilities, and
rogue nations and non -state actors are aggressively working to develop, acquire, and modernize
WMDs that they could use against the Homeland. Meanwhile, biological and chemical materials
and technologies with dual use capabilities are more accessible throughout the global market.
Due to the proliferation of such information and technologies, rogue nations and non -state actors
have more opportunities to develop, acquire, and use WMDs than ever before. Similarly, the
proliferation of unmanned aircraft systems, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology increase
opportunities of threat actors to acquire and use these capabilities against the United States and
its interests.
Given the increased risk of emerging threats, at least one investment must be in support of the
urban area's efforts to address emerging threats. Additionally, the proposed investment must
meet or exceed the FY 2020 national priority percentage for emerging threats, and will also be
subject to DHS/FEMA's evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed investments, in order to
receive a full allocation of UASI funds. Additional resources and information regarding
emerging threats are available through the Counteri W 4.pa Qsof Mass Destruction Office and

Development of Fusion Center Projects (SHSP and UASI)
If applicable, each applicant must identify a fusion center project that will:
• Indicate alignment to a designated Fusion Center.
• Provide both a brief narrative description and funding itemization for the proposed project
activities that directly support the designated fusion center.
• The descriptive narrative and the financial itemization should align improvement or sustainment
requests with fusion center activities as they relate to the Fusion Center Perfon-nance Measures
found in the Preparedness Grants Manual.

submission to FEMA, USBP Headquarters will reconcile all submitted CONOPs with the
OPSG Applications. FEMA will review and evaluate all CONOPs and OPSG Applications and
funding will be allocated based on the review and selection criteria identified in this NOFO.
OPSG Applicants will be required to clearly articulate and identify how the CONOPS will
address the national priorities identified below.
Information Sharing and Cooperation
Effective border security operations rely on timely information sharing and actionable
intelligence to accurately assess and prevent threats against the United States. Accordingly, DHS
works diligently to enhance intelligence collection, integration, analysis, and information sharing
capabilities to ensure partners, stakeholders, and senior leaders receive actionable intelligence
and information necessary to inform their decisions and operations. A critical and statutorily
charged mission of DHS is to deliver intelligence and information to federal, state, local, and
tribal governments and private sector partners. Cooperation and information sharing among
state, federal, and local partners across all areas of the homeland security enterprise, including
counterterrorism, cybersecurity, border security, immigration enforcement, and other areas is
critical to homeland security operations and the prevention of, preparation for, protection
against, and responding to acts of terrorism.
Given the importance of information sharing and collaboration to effective homeland security
solutions, the CONOP must be in support of the recipient's efforts to enhance information
sharing and cooperation with DHS and other federal agencies. Applicants must justify
persuasively how they will contribute to the information sharing and collaboration purposes of
the OPSG program and a culture of national preparedness, including how they will identify,

14. Emergency Communications Investments
If an entity uses HSGP funding to support emergency communications investments, the
following requirements shall apply to all such grant -funded communications investments in
support of the emergency communications priorities and recognized best practices:
* Applicants must describe in the investment how proposed communications investments
align to needs identified in their SCIP. Effective project alignment will require advance
coordination with the SWIC and consultation with governing bodies such as the SIGB or
Statewide Interoperability Executive Committee (SIEC), as they serve as the primary
steering group for the statewide interoperability strategy. Additionally, recipients should
consult subject matter experts serving on governance bodies, such as broadband experts,
chief information officers, representatives from utilities, or legal and financial experts,
when developing proposals.
& The signatory authority for the SAA must certify in writing to DHS/FEMA their
compliance with the SAFECOM Guidance. The certification letter should be
coordinated with the SWIC for each state and must be uploaded to ND Grants at the
time of the first Program Performance Report (PPR) submission.
# All states and territories must designate a full-time SWIC who has the authority and
resources to actively improve interoperability with emergency management and
response agencies across all levels of government, to include establishing statewide
plans, policies, and procedures, and coordinating decisions on communications
investments funded through Federal grants. Note that the designated full-time SWIC
may also be the state's or territory's cybersecurity point of contact. SWIC status
information will be maintained by the DHS Office of Emergency Communications
and will be verified by FEMA GPD through programmatic monitoring activities.
* By the period of performance end date, all states and territories must update the SCIP,
with a focus on communications resilience/continuity, to include assessment and
== I = I
I WRAW11MA114 WC1.11) Mi
Agreement No. 6310
mitigation of all potential risks identified in the SLIP: natural disasters, accidental
damage (human failures), intentional damage (sabotage, terrorism), cybersecurity, etc.
Following the initial update, the SCIP should be updated on an annual basis. SCIP
status information will be maintained by the DS Office of Emergency
Communications and will be verified by FEMA GPD through programmatic
monitoring activities.
All states and territories must test their emergency communications capabilities and procedures
(as outlined in their operational communications plans) in conjunction with regularly planned
exercises (separate;addition emergency communications exercises are not required) and must
submit an After Action Report/Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) to the Homeland Security Exercise
and Evaluation Program's (HSEEP) electronic message inbox at trc�rem gay, within 90
days of exercise completion. Exercises should be used to both demonstrate and validate skills
learned in training and to identify gaps in capabilities. Resilience and continuity of
communications should be tested during training and exercises to the greatest extent possible.
Further, exercises should include participants from multiple jurisdictions, disciplines, and levels
of government and include emergency management, emergency medical services, law
enforcement, interoperability coordinators, public health officials, hospital officials, officials
from colleges and universities, and other disciplines and private sector entities, as appropriate.
Findings from exercises should be used to update programs to address gaps in emergency
communications as well as emerging technologies, policies, and partners. Recipients are
encouraged to increase awareness and availability of emergency communications exercise
opportunities across all levels of government.
States, territories, and other eligible grant recipients are advised that HSGP funding may be used
to support communications planning (including the cost of hiring a SWIC, participation in
governance bodies and requirements delineated above), training, exercises, and equipment costs.
Costs for transitioning to the FirstNet network may also be eligible. More information regarding
FirstNet can be found in the Pre )aredness Grants Manual.
15. Detailed Budget
Applicants must provide budget summary worksheets for all funds requested at the time of
application. The budget summary worksheets must be complete, reasonable, and cost-effective
in relation to the proposed project and should provide the basis of computation of all project -
related costs (including management and administrative costs) and any appropriate narrative.
FEMA must be able to thoroughly evaluate the projects being submitted based on the
information provided. FEMA must be able to determine how much funding is being used by the
direct recipient for projects carried out by the direct recipient and how much funding is being
passed through to sub -recipients for each sub -program (UASI, SHSP, OPSG). Consequently,
applicants must provide an appropriate level of detail within the budget summary worksheets to
clarify what will be purchased and spent. Sample budget summary worksheets are available on
the grants.gov posting for the HSGP in the Related Documents tab and may be used as a guide
to assist applicants in the preparation of budgets and budget narratives.
16. Funds Transfer Restriction
The recipient is prohibited from transferring funds between programs (includes the SHSP, the
UASI, and OPSG). Recipients can submit an investment/project where funds come from
multiple funding sources (e.g., the SHSP and UASI), however, recipients are not allowed to

k. Management and Administration (M&A) Costs
Management and administration (M&A) activities are those directly relating to themanagement
and administration of HSGP funds, such as financial management and monitoring. A maximum
of up to five percent of HSOP funds awarded may be retained by the state, and any funds
retained are to be used solely for M&A purposes associated with the HSGP award,
Subrecipients may also retain a maximum of up to five percent of the funding passed through
by the state solely for M&A purposes associated with the HSGP award.
Recipients or subrecipients may apply or credit M&A funding toward the recipient's
requirement to allocate funding toward the four national priority areas. For example, if a
recipient spends $5,000 to manage or administer its funding dedicated toward its enhancing
uirement to allocate
at least 5 percent of its award to enhancing cybersecurity.
A state's HSGP funds for M&A calculation purposes includes the total of its SHSP, UASI, and
OPSG awards. While the SAA may retain up to five percent of this total for M&A, the state
must still ensure that all subreciplent award amounts meet the mandatory minimum pass -
through requirements that are applicable to each HSGP program. To meet this requirement, the
percentage of SHSP and UASI funds passed through to local or tribal jurisdictions must be
based on the state's total HSGP award prior to withholding any M&A.
In retaining these funds, states may retain a maximum of 2.5 percent of the OPSG allocation,
which must be withheld from the pass -through to each subrecipient county or tribe in an equal
percentage. The SAA may also retain additional funding from its SHSP award to manage and
administer the OPSG award, but that additional amount is also capped at an amount equal to
2.5 percent of the O. award. Examples applying this pnincipie:

See the and Application Evaluation Criteria for additional
information on risk methodology and effectiveness review.
rhe second part of the risk methodology and effectiveness review determines whether the —
proposed project is clear, logical, and reasonable to address the priority area of interest and
contribute to a culture of national preparedness. This part considers factors such as how well th;
project is described and how well the project addresses the objectives and strategies of the
priority area.
Risk and effectiveness will be given equal consideration in determining final award amounts.
NOTE: The THIRA/SPR process is separate from the risk methodology and effectiveness
review, and its results do not affect grant allocations.
Evaluation Criteria
FEMA will evaluate the FY 2020 HSGP applications for completeness, adherence to
programmatic guidelines, and anticipated effectiveness of the proposed investments. FEMA's
review will include verification that each H or project:
* Meets the national priority required spend percentages.
* Aligns with at least one core capability identified in the Goal;
Demonstrates how investments support closing capability gaps or sustaining
capabilities identified in the THIRAISPR process; and
a Supports a NIMS-typed resource and whether those assets are deployabl0shareable
to support emergency or disaster operations per existing EMACagreements.
Agreement No. 6310
the approach to monitor awards to satisfy the funding percentage allocations. Effectiveness will
be evaluated prior to award and may impact the final overall award amount. To that end, Us
should include:
* How the proposed investment addresses the national priority;
* An r• of how the proposed projects were selected and will achieve
objectives and strategies to build orsustain the core capability gaps identified in the SPR,
including expected long-term impact where applicable;
* A summary of laws, policies and practices that can be enhanced, eliminated, or
otherwise changed in order to achieve the goals of the project and foster a culture of
national preparedness;
al A summary of the collaboration efforts to prevent, prepare for, protectagainst,
and respond to acts of terrorism as well as anticipated outcomes of the project.
For FY 2020 HSGP applications, effectiveness will be evaluated based on the following five factors:
b1megment StrategX (30;'0: Proposals will be evaluated based on the quality and extent to
which applicants describe an effective strategy that demonstrates that proposed projects
support the program objective of preventing, preparing for, protecting against, and responding
to acts of terrorism, to meet its target capabilities, and otherwise reduce the overall risk to the
high -risk urban area, the State, or the Nation.
Budget (10%): Proposals will be evaluated based on the extent to which applicants describe a
budget plan for each investment demonstrating how the applicant will maximize cost
effectiveness of grant expenditures.
1D2pgg1�NL(LoipesL300X)): Proposals will be evaluated on how this investment helps the
'Ie
jurisdiction close capability gaps identified in its Stakeholder Preparedness Review and
addresses • priorities outlined in the FY 2020 NOFO. Further, proposals will •
evaluated on their identification and estimated improvement of core capability(ies),
which the applicant will measure and/or evaluate improvement.
Collaboration (30%): Proposals will be evaluated based on the degree to which the proposal
adequately details how the recipient will use investments and other means to overcome
existing logistical, technological, legal, policy, and other impediments to collaborating,
networking, sharing information, cooperating, and fostering a culture of national preparedness
with federal, state, tribal, and local governments, as well as other regional and nonprofit
partners in efforts to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism, to
meet its target capabilities, support the national security mission of DHS and other federal
agencies, and to otherwise reduce the overall risk to the high -risk urban area, the State, or the
Nation. In evaluating applicants under this factor FEMA will consider the information
provided by the applicant and may also consider relevant information from other sources.

applicants under this factor FEMA will consider the information provided by the applicant
and may also consider relevant information from other sources.
Recipients are expected to conform, as applicable, with accepted engineering practices,
cstablished codes, standards, modeling techniques, and best practices, and participate in the
development of case studies demonstrating the effective use of grant funds, as requested,
Review and Selection Process (SHSP
To ensure the effectiveness of proposed investments and projects, all applications will
undergo a Federal review as described herein. The Federal review will be conducted by DHS
and FEMA. Us will be reviewed at both the investment and project level. Results of the
effectiveness analysis may result in a recipient receiving a reduced grant award.
Cybersecurity investments will be reviewed by DHS/FEMA, CISA, and other DHS
components as appropfiate, for compliance with purposes and requirements of the priority
investment area. Proposed investments will be reviewed for effectiveness using the criteria set
forth in this NOFO.
Soft Targets/Crowded Places investments will be reviewed by DHS/FEMA, CISA, and other

investment area. Proposed investments will be reviewed for effectiveness using the criteria set
forth in this NOFO.
Information Sharing and Cooperation Investments will be reviewed by DHS/FEMA, DHS
Intelligence and Analysis, and other DHS components as appropriate, for compliance with
purposes and requirements of the priority investment area. Proposed investments will be
reviewed for effectiveness using the criteria set forth in this NOFO.
As part of the above, Fusion center projects will be reviewed by DHS/FEMA for compliance
with HSGP NOFO requirements to prioritize the alignment of requests with results from the
annual Fusion Center Assessment Program. If a fusion center investment does not meet the
requirements, a Fusion Center Addendum must be completed and submitted for review and
approval prior to expending funds allocated to fusion center activities.
Emerging threats investments will be reviewed by DHS/FEMA, DHS Countering Weapons of
Mass Destruction Office, and other DHS components as appropriate, for compliance with
purposes and requirements of the priority investment area. Proposed investments will be
reviewed for effectiveness using the criteria set forth in this NOFO.
All other proposed investments not associated with a required investment justification will
undergo a Federal review by DHS/FEMA to verify compliance with all administrative and
eligibility criteria identified in the NOFO.
Review and Selection Process (OPSG)
Applications will be reviewed by'the SAA and USBP for completeness and adherence to
programmatic guidelines and evaluated for anticipated feasibility, need, and impact of the
Agreement No. 6310
Operations Orders. For more information on Operations Orders and other requirements of
OPSG, see the Preparedness Grants Manual.
DHS/FEMA will verify compliance with all administrative and eligibility criteria identified in
the NOFO and required submission of Operations Orders and Inventory of Operations Orders by
the established due dates. DHS/FEMA and USBP will use the results of both the risk analysis
and the Federal review by DHS/FEMA to make recommendations for funding to the Secretary of
Homeland Security.
FY 2020 OPSG funds will be allocated competitively based on risk -based prioritization using
the OPSG Risk Assessment described above. Final funding allocations are determined by the
Secretary, who may consider information and input from various law enforcement offices or
subject -matter experts within the Department. Factors considered include, but are not limited to,
threat, vulnerability, miles of the border, and other border -specific law enforcement intelligence,
as well as the feasibility of FY 2020 Operations Orders to designated localities within border
states and territories.
b. Financial Integrity Criteria
Prior to making a Federal award, DHS/FEMA is required by 31 U.S.C. § 3321 note, 41
U.S.C. § 2313, and 2 C.F.R. § 200.205 to review information available through any OMB -
designated repositories of government -wide eligibility qualification or financial integrity
information. Application evaluation criteria may include the following risk -based
considerations of the applicant:
e Financial stability;
* Quality of management systems and ability to meet management standards;
o History of performance in managing Federal awards;
* Reports and findings from audits; and
* Ability to effectively implement statutory, regulatory, or other requirements.
C. Supplemental Financial Integrity Review
Prior to making a Federal award where the anticipated Federal share of a Federal award will be
greater than the simplified acquisition threshold, currently $250,000 (see Section 805 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, Pub. L. No. 115-9 1, OMB

See the Preparedness Qrants Maq _ I for information on Notice of Awarl
F. SHSP and UASI Pass -Through Requirements
Awards made to the SAA for HSGP carry additional pass -through requirements. Pass -through is
defined as an obligation on the part of the SAA to make funds available to local units of
government, combinations of local units, tribal governments, or other specific groups or
organizations. Four requirements must be met to pass -through grant funds:
o The SAA must make a firm written commitment to passing through grant funds
to subrecipients;
v: The SAA's commitment must be unconditional (i.e., no contingencies for the availability
of SAA funds);
o There must be documentary evidence (i.e., award document, terms, and conditions) of
the commitment; and
e The award terms must be communicated to the subrecipient.
Timing and Amount
The SAA must pass -through at least 80 percent of the funds awarded under the SHSP and UA
to local or tribal units of government within 45 calendar days of receipt of the funds. "Receipt
*f the funds" occurs either when the SAA accepts the award or 15 calendar days after the SAI
receives notice of the award, whichever is earlier. I
SAAs are sent notification of AS(jt6 awara—sv--ia Tffe-b-tW-s-4TJ7b-r-a-nTs- system. 11 an
its award within 15 calendar days of receiving notice of the award in the ND Grants system, the
45-calendar days pass -through period will start on the date the SAA accepted the award. Should
an SAA not accept the HSGP award within 15 calendar days of receiving notice of the award in
the ND Grants system, the 45-calendar days pass -through period will begin 15 calendar days
after the award notification is sent to the SAA via the ND Grants system.
It is important to note that the PoP start date does not directly affect the start of the 45-calendar
days pass -through period. For example, an SAA may receive notice of the HSGP award on
August 20, 2020, while the PoP dates for that award are September 1, 2020, through August 3 1,
*W tA5 "i-i�Rr-we.-in�oiLe-th�-dakA�o�.ass-through �oeriod will begin on the date the SAA acce%ts the
HSGP award or September 4, 2020 (15 calendar days after the SAA was notified of the award),
whichever date occurs first. The PoP start date of September 1, 2020 would not affect the timing
of meeting the 45-calendar day pass -through requirement.
Other SHSP and UASI Pass -Through Requirements
The signatory authority of the SAA must certify in writing to DHS/FEMA that pass -through
requirements have been met. A letter of intent (or equivalent) to distribute funds is not
considered sufficient- The pass -through requirement does not apply to SHSP awards made to
the District of Columbia, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is
80 percent of the funds to local units of government within 45 calendar days of receipt of the
ij,-f,ds.
Agreement No. 6310
FONEMM
Under SHSP, the SAA may retain more than 20 percent of funding for expenditures made by the
Qt2lrs *f with the written consent
of the local unit of government, specifying the amount of funds to be retained and the intended
-im-woM-wils—States shall review their written consent agreements - earl�q, and ensure that the are
still valid. If a written consent agreement is already in place from previous fiscal years,
DHS/FEMA will continue to recognize it for FY 2020, unless the written consent review
indicates the local government is no longer in agreement. If modifications to the existing
agreement are necessary, the SAA should contact their assigned FEMA HQ Program Analyst.
Additional OPSG Requirements
The recipient is prohibited from obligating or expending funds provided through this award
until each unique and specific county -level or equivalent Operational Order/Fragmentary
notice issued by DHS/FEMA removing this special programmatic condition.
