The objective of the FY 2021 HSGP is to provide funds to eligible entities to support state, local, tribal, and territorial efforts to achieve core capabilities related to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, and responding to acts of terrorism. HSGP consists of three components: the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP), Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI), and Operation Stonegarden (OPSG). SHSP supports state, local, tribal, and territorial preparedness activities in efforts to build, sustain, and deliver the capabilities necessary to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. UASI assists high-threat, high-density Urban Areas in efforts to build, sustain, and deliver the capabilities necessary to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. OPSG supports enhanced cooperation and coordination among Customs and Border Protection (CBP), United States Border Patrol (USBP), and federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies. OPSG provides funding to support joint efforts to secure the United States? borders along routes of ingress from international borders to include travel corridors in states bordering Mexico and Canada as well as states and territories with international water borders. For FY 20202021, DHS/FEMA will award SHSP and UASI funds based on DHS/FEMA?s relative risk methodology pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. National Priority Investments for SHSP and UASI: SHSP and UASI applicants will be required to submit an Investment Justification (IJ) for each of the following fourfive national priorities for at least between 5% and 7.5% of their total award per priority area: 1. Enhancing cybersecurity (including election security); 2.7.5%); 2. Enhancing the protection of soft targets/crowded places (including election security);5%); 3. Enhancing information and intelligence sharing and cooperation with federal agencies, including DHS; and (5%); 4. Combatting domestic violent extremism (7.5%); 45. Addressing emerging threats (e.g., transnational criminal organizations, weapons of mass destruction [WMDs], unmanned aerial systems [UASs], etc.). The Tribal Homeland Security Grant Program (THSGP) is a carve-out of SHSP. The objective of the THSGP is to provide funding directly to eligible tribes to strengthen their capacities to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to potential terrorist attacks.

Government Organizations;

State (includes District of Columbia, public institutions of higher education and hospitals), Local (includes State-designated Indian Tribes, excludes institutions of higher education and hospitals, U.S. Territories and possessions (includes institutions of higher education and hospitals) The SAA is the only entity eligible to submit HSGP applications to DHS/FEMA, including those applications submitted on behalf of UASI and OPSG applicants. All 56 states and territories, including any state of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, are eligible to apply for SHSP funds. Tribal governments may not apply directly for HSGP funding; however, funding may be available to tribes under the SHSP and OPSG through the SAA. Eligible high-risk urban areas for the FY 2021 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. Subawards will be made by the SAAs to the designated high-risk urban areas. Eligible subrecipients under FY 2021 OPSG are local units of government at the county level or equivalent level of government and federally-recognized tribal governments in states on or near the border with Canada or Mexico, and states and territories with international water borders. All applicants must have active ongoing USBP operations coordinated through a CBP sector office to be eligible for OPSG funding. Under FY 2021 OPSG, subrecipients eligible to apply for and receive a subaward directly from the SAAs are divided into three Tiers. Tier 1 entities are local units of government at the county level or equivalent and federally recognized tribal governments that are on a physical border in states bordering Canada or Mexico, and states and territories with international water borders. Tier 2 eligible subrecipients are those not located on the physical border or international water but are contiguous to a Tier 1 eligible subrecipient. Tier 3 eligible subrecipients are those not located on the physical border or international water but are contiguous to a Tier 2 eligible subrecipient. Tier 2 and Tier 3 eligible subrecipients may be eligible to receive funding based on border security risk as determined by the USBP. Tribes that meet the eligibility criteria outlined in the Notice of Funding Opportunity are eligible to apply under THSGP.

All applications must be received by the established deadline. The Non-Disaster (ND) Grants System has a date stamp that indicates when an application is submitted. Applicants will receive an electronic message confirming receipt of the full application. In general, DHS/FEMA will not review applications that are not received by the deadline or consider them for funding. DHS/FEMA may, however, extend the application deadline on request for any applicant who can demonstrate that good cause exists to justify extending the deadline. Application forms and instructions are available at Grants.gov. To access the application package, select ?Applicants? then ?Apply for Grants? followed by ?Get Application Package.? Enter the Funding Opportunity Number located on the first page of this NOFO. Select ?Apply? and then ?Create Workspace.? Follow the prompts to download the instructions and begin the application

FEMA will evaluate the FY 2021 HSGP applications for completeness, adherence to programmatic guidelines, and anticipated effectiveness of the proposed investments. FEMA?s review will include verification that each IJ or project: ? Aligns with at least one core capability identified in the Goal; ? Demonstrates how investments support closing capability gaps or sustaining capabilities identified in the THIRA/SPR process; and ? Supports a NIMS-typed resource and whether those assets are deployable/shareable to support emergency or disaster operations per existing EMAC agreements. SHSP and UASI applicants must also submit at least one investment for each of the National Priority Areas that is 5% or 7.5% (depending on the Area) of their total award. In addition to the above, FEMA will evaluate whether proposed projects are: 1) both feasible and effective at reducing the risks for which the project was designed; and 2) able to be fully completed within the three-year period of performance (POP). FEMA will use the information provided in the application and after the submission of the first BSIR to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of a grant project. Funding under OPSG is distributed based on the risk to the security of the border. 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/CBP 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/CBP considers intelligence, situational awareness, criminal trends, and statistical data specific 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/CBP. Threat components present in each of the sectors are used to determine the overall threat score. These components are terrorism, criminal aliens, drug trafficking organizations, and alien smuggling organizations. THSGP applications will be reviewed to ensure that the applicant meets all eligibility requirements, and that the application is complete. Eligible and complete applications are then reviewed based on the elements of the Investment Justification: Overview, Baseline, Project Management and Milestones, and Accomplishments and Impacts. FEMA HQ Grants Management Specialists then conduct a financial review of the top scoring investments on allowability, allocability, and financial reasonableness of the proposed budget; and whether the applicant meets the financial and legal requirements listed in 2 C.F.R. Part 200.

SHSP Allocations: FY 2021 SHSP funds will be allocated based on two factors: minimum amounts as legislatively mandated, and DHS/FEMA?s risk methodology. Each state and territory will receive a minimum allocation under the 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. Each of the 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. The remaining funds will be awarded based on risk. UASI Allocations: FY 2021 UASI funds will be allocated based on DHS/FEMA?s risk methodology. Eligible candidates for the FY 2021 UASI program have been determined through an analysis of relative risk of terrorism faced by the 100 most populous 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 https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/metro-micro.html. OPSG Allocations: The FY 2021 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. All successful applicants for all DHS grant and cooperative agreements are required to comply with DHS Standard Administrative Terms and Conditions. The date the approval of award is entered in the system is the ?award date.? Notification of award approval is made through the ND Grants system through an automatic e-mail to the grantee point of contact listed in the initial application. Once an award has been approved and recorded in the system, a notice is sent to the authorized grant official. The authorized grant official should carefully read the award package for instructions on administering the grant and to learn more about the terms and conditions associated with responsibilities under Federal awards.

In accordance with the provisions of 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Subpart F - Audit Requirements, non-federal entities that expend financial assistance of $750,000 or more in Federal awards will have a single or a program-specific audit conducted for that year. Non-federal entities that expend less than $750,000 a year in Federal awards are exempt from Federal audit requirements for that year, except as noted in 2 CFR ? 200.503 FEMA grant recipients are subject to audit oversight from multiple entities including the DHS OIG, the GAO, the pass-through entity, or independent auditing firms for single audits, and may cover activities and costs incurred under the award. Auditing agencies such as the DHS OIG, the GAO, and the pass-through entity, if applicable, and FEMA in its oversight capacity, must have access to records pertaining to the FEMA award. Recipients and subrecipients must retain award documents for at least three years from the date the final FFR is submitted, and longer in some cases, subject to the requirements of 2 C.F.R. ? 200.334. In the case of administrative closeout, documents must be retained for at least three years from the date of closeout, or longer, subject to 2 C.F.R. ? 200.334. If documents are retained longer than the required retention period, the DHS OIG, GAO, and pass-through entity, as well as FEMA in its oversight capacity, have the right to access these records as well. See 2 C.F.R. ?? 200.334, 200.337. Additionally, non-federal entities must comply with the single audit requirements at 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Subpart F. Specifically, non-federal entities, other than for-profit subrecipients, that expend $750,000 or more in federal awards during their fiscal year must have a single or program-specific audit conducted for that year in accordance with Subpart F. 2 C.F.R. ? 200.501. A single audit covers all federal funds expended during a fiscal year, not just FEMA funds. The cost of audit services may be allowable per 2 C.F.R. ? 200.425, but non-federal entities must select auditors in accordance with 2 C.F.R. ? 200.509, including following the proper procurement procedures. The objectives of single audits are to: \n? Determine if financial statements conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP); \n? Determine whether the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented fairly; \n? Understand, assess, and test the adequacy of internal controls for compliance with major programs; and \n? Determine if the entity complied with applicable laws, regulations, and contracts or grants. For single audits, the auditee is required to prepare financial statements reflecting its financial position, a schedule of federal award expenditures, and a summary of the status of prior audit findings and questioned costs. The auditee also is required to follow up and take appropriate corrective actions on new and previously issued but not yet addressed audit findings. The auditee must prepare a corrective action plan to address the new audit findings. 2 C.F.R. ?? 200.508, 200.510, 200.511. Non-federal entities must have an audit conducted, either single or program-specific, of their financial statements and federal expenditures annually or biennially pursuant to 2 C.F.R. ? 200.504. Non-federal entities must also follow the information submission requirements of 2 C.F.R. ? 200.512, including submitting the audit information to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditors? report(s) or nine months after the end of the audit period. The audit information to be submitted include the data collection form described at 2 C.F.R. ? 200.512(c) and Appendix X to 2 C.F.R. Part 200 as well as the reporting package described at 2 C.F.R. ? 200.512(b). The non-federal entity must retain one copy of the data collection form and one copy of the reporting package for three years from the date of submission to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. 2 C.F.R. ? 200.512; see also 2 C.F.R. ? 200.517 (setting requirements for retention of documents by the auditor and access to audit records in the auditors? possession). FEMA, the DHS OIG, the GAO, and the pass-through entity, if applicable, as part of monitoring or as part of an audit, may review a non-federal entitys? compliance with the single audit requirements. In cases of continued inability or unwillingness to have an audit conducted in compliance with 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Subpart F, FEMA and the pass-through entity, if applicable, are required to take appropriate remedial action under 2 C.F.R. ? 200.339 for noncompliance, pursuant to 2 C.F.R. ? 200.505

Financial records, supporting documents, statistical records, and all other non-federal entity records pertinent to a federal award generally must be maintained for at least three years from the date the final FFR is submitted. See 2 C.F.R. ? 200.334. Further, if the recipient does not submit a final FFR and the award is administratively closed, FEMA uses the date of administrative closeout as the start of the general record retention period. The record retention period may be longer than three years or have a different start date in certain cases. These include: ? Records for real property and equipment acquired with federal funds must be retained for three years after final disposition of the property. See 2 C.F.R. ? 200.334(c). ? If any litigation, claim, or audit is started before the expiration of the three-year period, the records must be retained until all litigation, claims, or audit findings involving the records have been resolved and final action taken. See 2 C.F.R. ? 200.334(a). ? The record retention period will be extended if the recipient is notified in writing of the extension by FEMA, the cognizant or oversight agency for audit, or the cognizant agency for indirect costs. See 2 C.F.R. ? 200.334(b). ? Where FEMA requires recipients to report program income after the period of performance ends, the program income record retention period begins at the end of the recipient?s fiscal year in which program income is earned. See 2 C.F.R ? 200.334(e). ? For indirect cost rate proposals, cost allocation plans, or other rate computations records, the start of the record retention period depends on whether the indirect cost rate documents were submitted for negotiation. If the indirect cost rate documents were submitted for negotiation, the record retention period begins from the date those documents were submitted for negotiation. If indirect cost rate documents were not submitted for negotiation, the record retention period begins at the end of the recipient?s fiscal year or other accounting period covered by that indirect cost rate. See 2 C.F.R. ? 200.334(f).
