10 <br /> 4. Cost Share or Match <br /> The FY 2021 PSGP has a cost share requirement. The non-federal entity contribution can be <br /> cash(hard match) or third-party in-kind(soft match), with the exception of construction <br /> activities, which must be a cash(hard) match. In-kind contributions are defined as third-party <br /> contributions per 2 C.F.R. § 200.306. <br /> All applicants will be required to commit to the cost share requirement at the time of <br /> application. The required cost share is based on and calculated against the total of all <br /> PSGP funds awarded to an eligible entity as described in the "Applications Submitted <br /> by Eligible Entities" section above during this fiscal year within a single Port Area. For <br /> example, if an entity operates multiple facilities within the same Port Area, FEMA will view <br /> these projects collectively for purposes of determining the appropriate cost share. As a result, <br /> multiple components within a single eligible entity (i.e.,port authority, facility operator, local <br /> government, or state government) are strongly encouraged to coordinate their applications if <br /> they apply separately (even if addressing multiple, disparate projects within the Port Area) <br /> for these cost share purposes. <br /> Public-Sector Cost Share <br /> All public sector and non governmental, nonprofit PSGP award recipients—meaning <br /> recipients other than private,for profit entities—must provide a non-federal entity <br /> contribution supporting 25 percent of the total of all project costs as submitted in the <br /> application and approved in the award. The non-federal contribution should be specifically <br /> identified for each proposed project. The non-federal contribution, whether cash or third- <br /> party in-kind match, has the same eligibility requirements as the federal share (e.g., <br /> operational costs for routine patrols are ineligible, and operational costs for overtime to <br /> conduct an approved exercise may be eligible as part of the investment justification) and <br /> must be justified as part of the project within the investment justification. For example, if the <br /> federal award for a public sector recipient requires a 25 percent cost share and the total <br /> project cost is $100,000,then: <br /> • Federal share is 75 percent of$100,000 = $75,000 <br /> • Recipient cost share is 25 percent of$100,000= $25,000 <br /> Because the statute at 46 U.S.C. § 70107(c)(1) states that the federal share shall not exceed <br /> 75 percent of the total cost, any application of the percentages that would result in a decimal <br /> will be rounded down in favor of the federal share not exceeding 75 percent, even if normal <br /> rounding standards would indicate rounding up in certain instances. <br /> Private-Sector Cost Share <br /> Private,for profit PSGP award recipients must provide a non-federal entity contribution <br /> supporting 50 percent of the total of all project costs as submitted in the application and <br /> approved in the award. The non-federal entity contribution should be specifically identified <br /> for each proposed project. The non-federal contribution, whether cash(hard) or third-party <br /> in-kind(soft),has the same eligibility requirements as the federal share (e.g., operational <br /> costs for routine patrols are ineligible, and operational costs for overtime to conduct an <br /> approved exercise may be eligible as part of the investment justification) and must be <br /> FY 2021 PSGP NOFO Back to the Top <br />
