7.1.B. - Page 6 <br /> FOA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br /> The Fiscal Year(FY) 2014 PSGP plays an important role in the implementation of the National <br /> Preparedness System by supporting the building, sustainment, and delivery of core capabilities <br /> essential to achieving the National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient Nation. Delivering <br /> core capabilities requires the combined effort of the whole community,rather than the exclusive <br /> effort of any single organization or level of government. The FY 2014 PSGP's allowable costs <br /> support efforts to build and sustain core capabilities across Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, <br /> Response, and Recovery mission areas. <br /> Funding Category <br /> Continuing <br /> Date of Origin for Program <br /> 11/25/2002 <br /> Type of Funding Instrument <br /> Discretionary Grant <br /> Application Process <br /> The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)makes all funding opportunities available through <br /> the common electronic "storefront" Grants.gov, accessible on the Internet at <br /> http://www.grants.gov. For details on how to apply through grants.gov please read Section IX, <br /> "How to Apply." <br /> Eligible Applicants <br /> All entities subject to an Area Maritime Transportation Security Plan(AMSP), as defined by 46 <br /> U.S.C. § 70103(b),may apply for PSGP funding. Eligible applicants include,but are not limited <br /> to port authorities, facility operators, and State and local government agencies. By law, DHS <br /> must allocate PSGP funding based on risk. Accordingly, DHS has identified 146 critical Port <br /> Areas and based upon U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) recommendations, aggregated these Port Areas <br /> into 90 Port Funding Areas. <br /> • Port Area Group Designations <br /> There are two Port Area Group Designations in FY 2014. Appendix A lists the specific <br /> Port Areas by Group that DHS has selected for funding through the FY 2014 PSGP and <br /> the competitive funding amount available within each Group. <br /> • Ineligible Entities <br /> The PSGP will not accept applications or Investment Justifications (IJs) from an <br /> applicant or sub-applicant for the purpose of providing a service or product to an <br /> otherwise eligible entity.
