The applicant <br /> must demonstrate that sufficient funds are available for the recipient's share of the project at the <br /> time of the application(See 46 U.S.C. § 70107(i)(4)(B)). Projects without a detailed budget <br /> demonstrating the required cost match will not be considered for funding. <br /> The non-Federal share can be cash or in-kind, with the exception of construction activities, <br /> which must be a cash-match (hard). <br /> Limitations of Funding <br /> In accordance with 46 U.S.C. § 70107(b)(2), PSGP funding for projects for the cost of <br /> acquisition, operation, and maintenance of security equipment or facilities to be used for security <br /> monitoring and recording, security gates and fencing, marine barriers for designated security <br /> zones, security-related lighting systems, remote surveillance, concealed video systems, security <br /> vessels, and other security-related infrastructure or equipment that contributes to the overall <br /> security of passengers, cargo, or crewmembers cannot exceed$1,000,000 per project. The <br /> Secretary of Homeland Security may approve a greater amount of per project funding, so long as <br /> that greater amount does not exceed 10 percent of total amount of PSGP funding provided to the <br /> grantee. <br /> Note that the $1,000,000 per project limitation applies only to those projects funded under 46 <br /> U.S.C. § 70107(b)(2) and does not apply to projects funded under other provisions of Section <br /> 70107. Projects that are specifically not covered by the $1,000,000 per project limitation include <br /> projects for the acquisition of screening equipment funded under 46 U.S.C. § 70107(b)(3), and <br /> projects for the acquisition of equipment required to receive, transmit, handle, and store <br /> classified information funded under 46 U.S.C. § 70107(b)(7). <br /> Allowable Costs <br /> The examples of allowable costs listed below should not be viewed as all-inclusive. Any project <br /> (submitted by an eligible applicant) that meets the PSGP priorities and is an allowable activity as <br /> stated in 46 U.S.C. § 70107(b), and can be shown to offer a direct and primary maritime security <br /> risk mitigation benefit will be considered for funding. However, those costs that are specifically <br /> noted as unallowable or ineligible will not be funded. <br /> Management and Administration (M&A) <br /> M&A activities are defined as those directly relating to the management and administration of <br /> PSGP funds, such as financial management and monitoring. The amount of M&A is specified in <br /> each year's Funding Opportunity Announcement. PSGP M&A funds may be used for the <br /> following M&A costs: <br /> • Hiring of full-time or part-time staff, contractors or consultants responsible for M&A <br /> activities, including those related to compliance with grant reporting, including data calls <br /> • Travel expenses, if directly related to the administration of the grant. <br /> 35 <br /> Appendix C—FY 2014 PSGP Funding Guidelines <br />
