This will ensure that minimally effective <br /> projects in the highest risk Port Areas are not funded ahead of highly effective projects in <br /> lower risk Port Areas; however, this does not guarantee that Port Areas with minimal risk <br /> scores will receive funding. All funding recommendations will be provided to the inter- <br /> agency partners for concurrence. All final funding determinations will then be made by the <br /> Secretary of Homeland Security, who retains the discretion to consider other factors and <br /> information in addition to DHS/FEMA's funding recommendations. <br /> F.
