18 eligible entity. No single application or IJ may include projects intended to be implemented in different Port Areas,subject to the provisions of this section, below.Applicants may submit up to five IJs within a single application. IJs must demonstrate how proposed projects address gaps and deficiencies in one or more of the core capabilities outlined in the National Preparedness Goal (the Goal). In the IJ, the applicant must demonstrate the ability to provide enhancements consistent with the purpose of the program and guidance provided by DHS/FEMA. PSGP projects must be both 1) feasible and effective at reducing the risks for which the project was designed; and 2) able to be fully completed within the thirty-six (36)month period of performance. For information on the feasibility and effectiveness determination, please see the Review and Selection Process as outlined in this NOFO. For the purposes of a PSGP application, a Port Area is selected for funding based on the project location. Eligible entities that have facilities in multiple Port Areas should apply for projects based on the Port Area where the project/asset will be implemented, housed, or maintained, not the entity's headquarters location. For entities submitting applications for a single project that spans multiple Port Areas, such as one patrol vessel that may be deployed outside of the primary Port Area, the project location is considered to be the predominant Port Area in which the project will be utilized. Large projects that implement multiple components in multiple Port Areas, such as State agency purchases of multiple patrol vessels for multiple Port Areas, should be submitted as separate applications (e.g., State Police vessel project in Port Area#1 is one application; State Police vessel project in Port Area#2 is a separate application). All eligible and complete applications will be provided to the applicable COTP for further review. Applicants seeking to participate in large-scale regional projects requiring the purchase of services or equipment should directly reference this need in their applications. Applicants should specify their portion of the requested project funding and role in the project. Applicants should also note if their portion of a project can be completed independently of the large-scale regional project. Applicants will find the IJ template on Grants.gov in the "Related Documents"tab of the PSGP posting. This IJ template must be used for each project submitted. Applicants must provide information in the following categories for each proposed investment: 1. Background 2. Strategic and Program Priorities 3. Impact 4. Funding/Implementation Plan Applicants must use the following file naming convention when submitting an IJ as part of the FY 2021 PSGP: Name of Applicant Name of Project IJ Number (Example:XYZ Oil Fencing IJ#1) FY 2021 PSGP NOFO Back to the Top
