12 FY 2022 PSGP NOFO Back to the Top must be certified by the COTP as having a port-wide benefit. Examples of projects with a port-wide benefit include, but are not limited to: o Port-wide planning, training, and exercises; o Security camera systems with shared access; o Response vessels; and o Other maritime domain awareness systems. • $25,000 or Less: There is no matching requirement for grant awards where the total project cost for all projects under the award is $25,000 or less in accordance with 46 U.S.C. § 70107(c)(2)(A). If multiple small projects for the same Port Area by the same entity (i.e., same UEI) are submitted totaling more than $25,000 under this exemption, a cost match is required to be demonstrated at the time of application. • Public Safety Personnel Security Zone Training: There is no matching requirement for grants to train public safety personnel in the enforcement of security zones as defined by 46 U.S.C. § 70132 or in assisting in the enforcement of such security zones. Per 46 U.S.C. § 70132(d), the term “public safety personnel” includes any federal, state (or political subdivision thereof), territorial, or tribal law enforcement officer, firefighter, or emergency response provider. • Waiver Requests: Requests for cost match waivers as outlined in 46 U.S.C. § 70107(c) may be considered for successful applicants only after awards have been made. Applicants must have demonstrated the ability to comply with the cost match requirement at the time of application and since being awarded the grant, have experienced significant financial constraints as outlined in DHS/FEMA Information Bulletin (IB) 376, (i.e., specific economic issues preclude provision of the cost share identified in the original grant application). Cost share waiver requests that do not demonstrate new, post-award difficulties and cost share waivers submitted at the time of application will not be considered. Cost share waiver requests must comply with the process identified in IB 376. D. Application and Submission Information 1. Key Dates and Times a. Application Start Date: May 13, 2022 b.
