Starting in FY 2020, each SHSP and UASI recipient is required to submit an Investment Justification (IJ) for each of the four national priorities identified above. Under the Cybersecurity investment and the Soft Target/Crowded Places investments one project for each of those two investments must be to support enhancing election security. As a reminder, all SHSP- and UASI-funded projects must have a demonstrated nexus to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, and responding to acts of terrorism. However, such projects may simultaneously support enhanced preparedness for disasters unrelated to acts of terrorism.

DHS/FEMA also requires SHSP and UASI recipients (e.g., states, territories, and high-risk urban areas) to complete a THIRA/SPR and prioritize grant funding to support closing capability gaps or sustaining capabilities that address national priorities and/or support enduring needs. Additional information on the THIRA/SPR process, including other National Preparedness System (NPS) tools and resources, can be found at https://www.fema.gov/national-preparedness-system.

Detailed
information on THIRA/SPR timelines and deadlines can be found in the Preparedness Grants Manual.

SHSP Allocations

For FY 2020, DHS/FEMA will award SHSP funds based on risk and the anticipated effectiveness of the proposed use of grant funds upon completion of the application review process. The following table identifies the targeted SHSP allocation ranges for each State based on DHS/FEMA’s relative risk methodology pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. States are strongly encouraged to apply for funding at least 15% over the high end of their target allocation range as ineffective applications will not be funded. Final award amounts will be based on DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of proposed investments and projects.

Regardless of the amount of a State’s targeted SHSP allocation range, each State must include a separate investment for each of the four national priority areas identified in the Priorities section, above. The funding level in each national priority area investment must equal or exceed the percentage for that respective national priority area, calculated as a percentage of the State’s targeted SHSP allocation in the table below. For the states that receive a target allocation in excess of the minimum, the percentage is calculated against the high end of the range, as displayed in the table below. DHS/FEMA will make final award determinations based upon a review of the anticipated effectiveness of the State’s application as described in Section D, below. Final awards are based on whether the State has proposed investments in each of the four national priority areas in an amount equal to or greater than the percentage for that priority area and based on the effectiveness review.

EXHIBIT F

UASI Allocations
Eligible candidates for the FY 2020 UASI program are identified in the table below. Eligibility has been determined through an analysis of relative risk of terrorism faced by the 100 most populous Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) in the United States, in accordance with the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. Detailed information on MSAs is publicly available from the United States Census Bureau at https://www.census.gov/programs-

surveys/metro-micro.html. THIRA/SPR results do not impact grant allocation or award.

For FY 2020, DHS/FEMA will award UASI funds based on risk and the anticipated effectiveness of the proposed use of grant funds upon completion of the application review process. The following table identifies the targeted UASI allocations for each high-risk urban area based on DHS/FEMA’s relative risk methodology pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply for funding at least 15% over the high end of their target allocation range as ineffective applications will not be funded.

Final award amounts will be based on DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of proposed investments and projects.

In its application, each high-risk urban area, through the State, must include a separate investment for each of the four national priority areas identified in the Priorities section, above.

The funding level in each national priority area investment must equal or exceed the percentage for that respective national priority area, calculated as a percentage of the high-risk urban area’s targeted UASI allocation in the table below. The percentage is calculated against the high end of the range, as displayed in the table below. DHS/FEMA will make final award determinations based upon a review of the anticipated effectiveness of the high-risk urban area’s application as described in Section D, below. Final awards are based on whether the State has proposed investments in each of the four national priority areas in an amount equal to or greater than the percentage for that priority area and based on the effectiveness review.

Regardless of the final award amount, a high-risk urban area must invest UASI funding in each of the four national priority areas in an amount equal to or greater than percentage identified above for each national priority area, as approved by DHS/FEMA.

OPSG Allocations
For FY 2020, DHS/FEMA will award OPSG funds based on risk and the anticipated effectiveness of the proposed use of grant funds upon completion of the application review process. The FY 2020 OPSG risk assessment is designed to identify the risk to border security and to assist with the distribution of funds for the grant program. Funding under OPSG is distributed based on the risk to the security of the border and the effectiveness of the proposed projects. Entities eligible for funding are the state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies

EXHIBIT F

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO

that are located along the border of the United States. DHS/FEMA will make final award determinations based upon a review of the anticipated effectiveness of the State’s application as described in Section D, below. The THIRA/SPR process is not required for OPSG.

For the purposes of OPSG, the risk is defined as the potential for an adverse outcome assessed as a function of threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences associated with an incident, event, or occurrence.

Based upon ongoing intelligence analysis and extensive security reviews, DHS/CBP continues to focus the bulk of OPSG funds based upon risk analyses. The risk model used to allocate OPSG funds considers the potential risk that certain threats pose to border security and estimates the relative risk faced by a given area. In evaluating risk, DHS/CBP considers intelligence, situational awareness, criminal trends, and statistical data specific to each of the border sectors, and the potential impacts that these threats pose to the security of the border area. For vulnerability and consequence, DHS/CBP considers the expected impact and consequences of successful border events occurring in specific areas.

Threat and vulnerability are evaluated based on specific operational data from DHS/CBP.

Threat components present in each of the sectors are used to determine the overall threat score.

These components are terrorism, criminal aliens, drug trafficking organizations, and alien smuggling organizations.

Effectiveness of the proposed investments will be evaluated based on the recipient’s investment strategy, budget, collaboration, and past performance.

Period of Performance: 36 months
Extensions to the Period of Performance (PoP) are allowed. For additional information on PoP extensions, refer to the Preparedness Grants Manual

Projected Period of Performance Start Date: September 1, 2020 Projected Period of Performance End Date: August 31, 2023 Funding Instrument: Grant

C. Eligibility Information

1. Eligible Applicants
The State Administrative Agency (SAA) is the only entity eligible to submit HSGP applications to DHS/FEMA, including those applications submitted on behalf of UASI and OPSG applicants. All 56 states and territories, including any state of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, are eligible to apply for SHSP funds. Tribal governments may not apply directly for HSGP funding; however, funding may be available to tribes under the SHSP and OPSG through the SAA.

2. Eligibility Criteria
Eligible high-risk urban areas for the FY 2020 UASI program have been determined through

EXHIBIT F

Page 12 of 41 ends

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO

an analysis of relative risk of terrorism faced by the 100 most populous Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) in the United States. Subawards will be made by the SAAs to the designated high-risk urban areas.

In FY 2020, OPSG eligible subrecipients are local units of government at the county level or equivalent level of government and Federally recognized tribal governments in states bordering Canada or Mexico and states and territories with international water borders. All applicants must have active ongoing USBP operations coordinated through a CBP sector office to be eligible for OPSG funding.

In FY 2020, OPSG subrecipients eligible to apply for and receive a subaward directly from the SAAs are divided into three Tiers. Tier 1 entities are local units of government at the county level or equivalent and Federally recognized tribal governments that are on a physical border in states bordering Canada, states bordering Mexico, and states and territories with international water borders. Tier 2 eligible subrecipients are those not located on the physical border or international water but are contiguous to a Tier 1 county.

Tier 3 eligible subrecipients are those not located on the physical border or international water but are contiguous to a Tier 2 eligible subrecipient. The tier structure is only applicable with regard to eligibility. OPSG funding allocations are based on the assessed border security risks as determined by the USBP.

3. Other Eligibility Criteria

National Incident Management System (NIMS) Implementation Prior to allocation of any Federal preparedness awards in FY 2020, recipients must ensure and maintain adoption and implementation of NIMS. Detailed information on NIMS requirements are in the Preparedness Grants Manual
.

Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) Membership In support of the Goal, SHSP recipients must belong to, be in, or act as a temporary member of EMAC, except for American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, which are not required to belong to EMAC at this time. All assets supported in part or entirely with FY 2020 HSGP funding must be readily deployable and NIMS-typed when possible to support emergency or disaster operations per existing EMAC agreements. In addition, funding may be used for the sustainment of core capabilities that, while they may not be physically deployable, support national response capabilities, such as Geographic/Geospatial Information Systems (GIS), interoperable communications systems, capabilities as defined under the Mitigation Mission Area of the Goal, and fusion centers.

Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Activities (LETPA) Per section 2006 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended (6 U.S.C. § 607), DHS/FEMA is required to ensure that at least 25 percent of grant funding appropriated for grants awarded under HSGP’s authorizing statute are used for law enforcement terrorism prevention activities. DHS/FEMA meets this requirement, in part, by requiring all recipients allocate at least 25 percent of the combined HSGP funds allocated under SHSP and UASI towards law enforcement terrorism prevention activities, as defined in 6 U.S.C. § 607. The LETPA allocation can be from SHSP, UASI, or both. The 25 percent LETPA allocation may be met by funding projects in any combination of the four national priority areas

EXHIBIT F

Page 13 of 41 ends

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO

identified above and any other investments. And the 25 percent LETPA allocation is in addition to the 80 percent pass-through requirement to local units of government and tribes, referenced below.

The National Prevention Framework describes those activities that should be executed upon the discovery of intelligence or information regarding an imminent threat to the homeland, to thwart an initial or follow-on terrorist attack and provides guidance to ensure the Nation is prepared to prevent, avoid, or stop a threatened or actual act of terrorism. Activities outlined in the National Prevention Framework are eligible for use as LETPA-focused funds. Also, where capabilities are shared with the protection mission area, the National Protection Framework activities are also eligible. All other terrorism prevention activities proposed for funding under LETPA must be approved by the FEMA Administrator.

4. Cost Share or Match
There is no cost share or match requirement for the FY 2020 HSGP.

D. Application and Submission Information

1. Key Dates and Times

a. Application Start Date: February 14, 2020
b. Application Submission Deadline: April 30 15, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. ET

By submitting an application, applicants agree to comply with the requirements of this NOFO and the terms and conditions of the award, should they receive an award.

3. Address to Request Application Package
See the Preparedness Grants Manual for information on requesting and submitting an application.

4. Steps Required to Submit an Application, Unique Entity Identifier, and System for Award Management (SAM)
To a
pply for an award under this program, all applicants must:
a. Apply for, update, or verify their Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number from Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) and Employer ID Number (EIN)
b. In the application, provide a valid Data Universal Numbering System DUNS number, which is currently the unique entity identifier;
c. Have an account with login.gov;
d. Register for, update, or verify their SAM account and ensure the account is active before submitting the application;
e. Create a Grants.gov account;
f. Add a profile to a Grants.gov account;
a. Establish an Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) in Grants.gov; b. Submit an initial application in Grants.gov;
g. Submit the final application in the Non-Disaster Grants (ND Grants) system and h. Continue to maintain an active SAM registration with current information at all times during which it has an active federal award or an application or plan under consideration by a federal awarding agency.

Applicants are advised that DHS may not make a federal award until the applicant has complied with all applicable DUNS and SAM requirements. Therefore, an applicant’s SAM registration must be active not only at the time of application, but also during the application review period and when DHS is ready to make a federal award. Further, as noted above, an applicant’s or recipient’s SAM registration must remain active for the duration of an active federal award. If an applicant’s SAM registration is expired at the time of application, expires during application review, or expires any other time before award, DHS may determine that the applicant is not

qualified to receive a federal award and use that determination as a basis for making a federal award to another applicant. See the Preparedness Grants Manual for additional information on the steps required to submit an application.

5. Electronic Delivery
DHS/FEMA is participating in the Grants.gov initiative to provide the grant community with a single site to find and apply for grant funding opportunities. DHS/FEMA requires applicants to submit their initial applications online through Grants.gov and to submit final
applications through ND Grants.

6. How to Register to Apply through Grants.gov
See the Preparedness Grants Manual for information on requesting and submitting an application.

7. How to Submit an Initial Application to DHS/FEMA via Grants.gov See the Preparedness Grants Manual for information on requesting and submitting an application.

8. Timely Receipt Requirements and Proof of Timely Submission As application submission is a two-step process, the applicant with the Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) role who submitted the application will also receive an acknowledgement of receipt, a tracking number (in this format: GRANTXXXXXXXX) from Grants.gov, and an Agency Tracking Number (in this format: EMX-2020-XX-XXXX) with the successful transmission of the initial application. This notification does not serve as proof of timely submission, as the application is not complete until it is submitted in ND Grants. All applications must be received in ND Grants by 5:00 p.m. ET on April 30 15, 2020. Proof of timely submission is automatically recorded by ND Grants. An electronic date/time stamp is generated within the system when the application is successfully received by ND Grants. Additionally, the applicant(s) listed as contacts on the application will receive a system-generated email to confirm receipt.

9. Submitting the Final Application in Non-Disaster Grants System (ND Grants) After submitting the initial application in Grants.gov, eligible applicants will be notified by DHS/FEMA and asked to proceed with submitting their complete application package in ND Grants. Applicants can register early with ND Grants and are encouraged to begin their ND Grants registration at the time of this announcement but no later than seven days before the application deadline. Early registration will allow applicants to have adequate time to start and complete their application.

by DHS’s Protective Security Advisors and Cybersecurity Advisors, when developing their investment justifications.

Priority Investments (SHSP)
States are encouraged to review the Strategic Framework for Countering Terrorism and Targeted Violence when developing investments.

Cybersecurity Investment Justification (5 percent)
At least one investment must be in support of the state’s cybersecurity efforts. The investment must meet or exceed the FY 2020 national priority percentage for cybersecurity, and will also be subject to DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed investments, in order to receive a full allocation of SHSP funds. Cybersecurity investments must support the security and functioning of critical infrastructure and core capabilities as they relate to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, or responding to acts of terrorism. Recipients and subrecipients of FY 2020 HSGP grant awards will be required to complete the 2020 Nationwide

Cybersecurity Review (NCSR), enabling agencies to benchmark and measure progress of improving their cybersecurity posture. The CIO, CISO or equivalent for each recipient should complete the NCSR. If there is no CIO or CISO, the most senior cybersecurity professional should complete the assessment. The NCSR is available at no cost to the user and takes approximately 2-3 hours to complete. The 2020 NCSR will be open from October – December 2020.

• The NCSR is an annual requirement for recipients and subrecipients of HSGP funds.

Additionally, FEMA recognizes that some subawards will not be issued until after the NCSR has closed. In such cases, such subrecipients will be required to complete the first available NCSR offered after the subaward has been issued by the pass-through entity. • Although not required by SLTTs that did not receive HSGP funds, all SLTT agencies with preparedness responsibilities are highly encouraged to participate and complete the NCSR to evaluate their cybersecurity posture. For detailed information and background on the NCSR, please see Information Bulletin 439.

In January 2017, the Department of Homeland Security designated the infrastructure used to administer the Nation’s elections as critical infrastructure. This designation recognizes that the United States’ election infrastructure is of such vital importance to the American way of life that its incapacitation or destruction would have a devastating effect on the country. Securing election infrastructure and ensuring an election free from foreign interference are national security priorities. Threats to election systems are constantly evolving, so defending these systems requires constant vigilance, innovation, and adaptation.

Given the importance of the Nation’s election infrastructure, and the multiple and evolving threats to that infrastructure, at least one project within this investment must be in support of the state’s efforts to enhance election security. Additional resources and information regarding election security are available through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

EXHIBIT F

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO

Soft Target Investment Justification (5 percent)
Soft targets and crowded places are increasingly appealing to terrorists and other extremist actors because of their relative accessibility and the large number of potential targets. This challenge is complicated by the prevalent use of simple tactics and less sophisticated attacks. Segments of our society are inherently open to the general public, and by nature of their purpose do not incorporate strict security measures. Given the increased emphasis by terrorists and other extremist actors to leverage less sophisticated methods to inflict harm in public areas, it is vital that the public and private sectors collaborate to enhance security of locations such as transportation centers, parks, restaurants, shopping centers, special event venues, and similar facilities.

Given the increased risk to soft targets and crowded places, at least one investment must be in support of the state’s efforts to protect soft targets/crowded places. Additionally, the proposed investment must meet or exceed the FY 2020 national priority percentage for soft targets/crowded places and will also be subject to DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed investments in order to receive a full allocation of SHSP funds. Additional resources and information regarding securing soft targets and crowded places are available through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency . States are encouraged to engaged
DHS’ Protective Security Advisors’ security assessments of soft targets to ensure that recommendations from those assessments are taken into consideration when allocating grant funding.

As noted above, given the importance of the Nation’s election infrastructure, and the multiple and evolving threats to that infrastructure, at least one project within this investment must be in support of the state’s efforts to enhance election security. Additional resources and information regarding election security are available through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security

Agency.

Information Sharing and Cooperation Investment Justification (5 percent) Effective homeland security operations rely on timely information sharing and actionable intelligence to accurately assess and prevent threats against the United States. Accordingly, DHS works diligently to enhance intelligence collection, integration, analysis, and information sharing capabilities to ensure partners, stakeholders, and senior leaders receive actionable intelligence and information necessary to inform their decisions and operations. A critical and statutorily charged mission of DHS is to deliver intelligence and information to federal, state, local, and tribal governments and private sector partners. Cooperation and information sharing among state, federal, and local partners across all areas of the homeland security enterprise, including counterterrorism, cybersecurity, border security, immigration enforcement, and other areas is critical to homeland security operations and the prevention of, preparation for, protection against, and responding to acts of terrorism.

Given the importance of information sharing and collaboration to effective homeland security solutions, at least one investment must be in support of the state’s efforts to enhance information sharing and cooperation with DHS and other federal agencies. As noted above, this requirement must include at least one dedicated fusion center project. Additional instructions on development of the fusion center project can be found below. Applicants must justify persuasively how they

EXHIBIT F

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO

will contribute to the information sharing and collaboration purposes of the investment and a culture of national preparedness, including how they will identify, address, and overcome any existing laws, policies, and practices that prevent information sharing. Additionally, the proposed investment must meet or exceed the FY 2020 national priority percentage for information sharing and cooperation with DHS, and will also be subject to DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed investments, in order to receive a full allocation of SHSP funds. Additional resources and information regarding collaboration and information sharing are available through the Department’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis .

Emerging Threats Investment Justification (5 percent)
The spread of rapidly evolving and innovative technology, equipment, techniques, and knowledge presents new and emerging dangers for homeland security in the years ahead.

Terrorists remain intent on acquiring weapons of mass destruction (WMD) capabilities, and rogue nations and non-state actors are aggressively working to develop, acquire, and modernize WMDs that they could use against the Homeland. Meanwhile, biological and chemical materials and technologies with dual use capabilities are more accessible throughout the global market.

Due to the proliferation of such information and technologies, rogue nations and no-state actors have more opportunities to develop, acquire, and use WMDs than ever before. Similarly, the proliferation of unmanned aircraft systems, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology increase opportunities of threat actors to acquire and use these capabilities against the United States and its interests.

Given the increased risk of emerging threats, at least one investment must be in support of the state’s efforts to address emerging threats. Additionally, the proposed investment must meet or exceed the FY 2020 national priority percentage for emerging threats, and will also be subject to DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed investments, in order to receive a full allocation of SHSP funds. Additional resources and information regarding emerging threats are available through the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office and the Cybersecurity

and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Development of Investments and Projects (UASI)
• Applicants must propose at least four and may include up to ten investments. • Within each investment in their IJ, Urban Areas must propose at least one project to describe the activities they are planning to implement with UASI funds. There is no limit to the number of projects that may be submitted.
• Required national priority IJs must include the name of the priority in the investment name for easy identification.
• Of the proposed projects, Urban Areas are required to propose one single project, as part of the required intelligence and information sharing investment justification, in support of a designated fusion center within the Urban Area, if applicable. Recipients must coordinate with the fusion center when developing a fusion center project prior to submission.

If an entity uses HSGP funding to support emergency communications investments, the following requirements shall apply to all such grant-funded communications investments in support of the emergency communications priorities and recognized best practices:
• Applicants must describe in the investment how proposed communications investments align to needs identified in their SCIP. Effective project alignment will require advance coordination with the SWIC and consultation with governing bodies such as the SIGB or Statewide Interoperability Executive Committee (SIEC), as they serve as the primary steering group for the statewide interoperability strategy. Additionally, recipients should consult subject matter experts serving on governance bodies, such as broadband experts, chief information officers, representatives from utilities, or legal and financial experts, when developing proposals.
• The signatory authority for the SAA must certify in writing to DHS/FEMA their compliance with the SAFECOM Guidance. The certification letter should be coordinated with the SWIC for each state and must be uploaded to ND Grants at the time of the first Program Performance Report (PPR) submission. • All states and territories must designate a full-time SWIC who has the authority and resources to actively improve interoperability with emergency management and response agencies across all levels of government, to include establishing statewide plans, policies, and procedures, and coordinating decisions on communications investments funded through Federal grants. Note that the designated full-time SWIC may also be the state’s or territory’s cybersecurity point of contact. SWIC status information will be maintained by the DHS Office of Emergency Communications and will be verified by FEMA GPD through programmatic monitoring activities.

• By the period of performance end date, all states and territories must update the SCIP, with a focus on communications resilience/continuity, to include assessment and

EXHIBIT F

Page 27 of 41 ends

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO

mitigation of all potential risks identified in the SCIP: natural disasters, accidental damage (human failures), intentional damage (sabotage, terrorism), cybersecurity, etc.

Following the initial update, the SCIP should be updated on an annual basis. SCIP status information will be maintained by the DHS Office of Emergency Communications and will be verified by FEMA GPD through programmatic monitoring activities.

All states and territories must test their emergency communications capabilities and procedures (as outlined in their operational communications plans) in conjunction with regularly planned exercises (separate/addition emergency communications exercises are not required) and must submit an After Action Report/Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) to the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program’s (HSEEP) electronic message inbox at [email protected] within 90
days of exercise completion. Exercises should be used to both demonstrate and validate skills learned in training and to identify gaps in capabilities. Resilience and continuity of communications should be tested during training and exercises to the greatest extent possible.

Further, exercises should include participants from multiple jurisdictions, disciplines, and levels of government and include emergency management, emergency medical services, law enforcement, interoperability coordinators, public health officials, hospital officials, officials from colleges and universities, and other disciplines and private sector entities, as appropriate.

Findings from exercises should be used to update programs to address gaps in emergency communications as well as emerging technologies, policies, and partners. Recipients are encouraged to increase awareness and availability of emergency communications exercise opportunities across all levels of government.

States, territories, and other eligible grant recipients are advised that HSGP funding may be used to support communications planning (including the cost of hiring a SWIC, participation in governance bodies and requirements delineated above

Under OPSG, overtime costs are allowable only in so far as they meet the intent of the program. All recipients and subrecipients of HSGP funds, including SHSP, UASI, and OPSG allocations, may not use more than 50 percent of their awards to pay for personnel activities unless a waiver is approved by FEMA. For more information on the 50 percent personnel cap, please see FEMA Information Bulletin (IB) 421, Clarification on the Personnel Reimbursement for Intelligence Cooperation and Enhancement of Homeland Security Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-412) – the PRICE Act.

g. Operational Overtime
Operational overtime costs are allowed under this program. Prior to use of funds for operational overtime, recipients must receive approval from DHS/FEMA.

h. Travel
Domestic travel costs are allowed under this program, as provided for in this NOFO. International travel is not an allowable cost under this program unless approved in advance by DHS/FEMA.

i. Construction and Renovation
Construction and renovation costs to achieve capability targets related to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, or responding to acts of terrorism are allowed under this program. For construction and renovation costs to be allowed, they must be specifically approved by DHS/FEMA in writing prior to the use of any program funds. Applicants must use the EHP approval process. Limits on the total amount of grant funding that may be used for construction or renovation may apply. Additionally, recipients are required to submit Standard Form 424C.

j. Maintenance and Sustainment
Maintenance- and sustainment-related costs, such as maintenance contracts, warranties, repair or replacement costs, upgrades, and user fees, are allowable as described in FP 205-402-125-1, Maintenance Contracts and Warranty Coverage Funded by Preparedness Grants Policy (http://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/32474 ).

k. Management and Administration (M&A) Costs
Management and administration (M&A) activities are those directly relating to the management and administration of HSGP funds, such as financial management and monitoring. A maximum of up to five percent of HSGP funds awarded may be retained by the state, and any funds retained are to be used solely for M&A purposes associated with the HSGP award.

Subrecipients may also retain a maximum of up to five percent of the funding passed through by the state solely for M&A purposes associated with the HSGP award.

Recipients or subrecipients may apply or credit M&A funding toward the recipient’s requirement to allocate funding toward the four national priority areas. For example, if a recipient spends $5,000 to manage or administer its funding dedicated toward its enhancing cybersecurity investment, the recipient may credit that funding toward its requirement to allocate at least 5 percent of its award to enhancing cybersecurity.

A state’s HSGP funds for M&A calculation purposes includes the total of its SHSP, UASI, and OPSG awards. While the SAA may retain up to five percent of this total for M&A, the state must still ensure that all subrecipient award amounts meet the mandatory minimum pass- through requirements that are applicable to each HSGP program. To meet this requirement, the percentage of SHSP and UASI funds passed through to local or tribal jurisdictions must be based on the state’s total HSGP award prior to withholding any M&A.

In retaining these funds, states may retain a maximum of 2.5 percent of the OPSG allocation, which must be withheld from the pass-through to each subrecipient county or tribe in an equal percentage. The SAA may also retain additional funding from its SHSP award to manage and administer the OPSG award, but that additional amount is also capped at an amount equal to

2.5 percent of the OPSG award. Examples applying this principle:

SHSP: $1,000,000
OPSG: $2,500,000
UASI: $2,500,000
M&A Maximum: $300,000 (5 percent of $6,000,000)
Maximum M&A for SHSP = $50,000
Maximum M&A for OPSG = $125,000. Of that amount, $62,500 (2.5 percent) may be retained from the OPSG allocation, and the other $62,500 would come from the SHSP allocation. Any amount used to manage and administer OPSG that is charged to SHSP may be above and beyond the $50,000 available to manage the SHSP allocation.

SAA 2:

SHSP: $3,500,000
OPSG: $1,000,000
M&A Maximum: $225,000 (5 percent of $4,500,000)
Maximum M&A for SHSP: $175,000
Maximum M&A for OPSG = $50,000. Of that amount, $25,000 (2.5 percent) may be retained from the OPSG allocation, and the other $25,000 would come from the SHSP allocation. Any amount used to manage and administer OPSG that is charged to SHSP may be above and beyond the $175,000 available to manage the SHSP allocation.

Please note, Information Bulletin (IB) 365: Management and Administration Costs in the

Homeland Security and DHS/FEMA Policy 207-087-1, which can be found at http://www.fema.gov/library/viewRecord.do?id=7837, do not apply to awards made in FY 2020 under this NOFO. The IB and Policy remain in effect for all previous awards.

L. Critical Emergency Supplies
Critical emergency supplies are allowed under this program.

M. Secure Identification
Secure Identification costs are allowed under this program.

N. Indirect (Facilities & Administrative [F&A]) Costs
Indirect costs are allowable under this program as described in 2 C.F.R. Part 200, including 2 C.F.R. § 200.414. Applicants with a negotiated indirect cost rate agreement that desire to charge indirect costs to an award must provide a copy of their negotiated indirect cost rate agreement at the time of application. Applicants that are not required by 2 C.F.R. Part 200 to have a negotiated indirect cost rate agreement but are required by 2 C.F.R. Part 200 to develop an indirect cost rate proposal must provide a copy of their proposal at the time of application. Post-award requests to charge indirect costs will be considered on a case-by-case basis and based upon the submission of an agreement or proposal as discussed above.

O. General Purpose Equipment
HSGP allows expenditures on general purpose equipment if it aligns to and supports one or more core capabilities identified in the Goal and has a nexus to terrorism preparedness. General purpose equipment, like all equipment funded under the HSGP, must be sharable through the

EXHIBIT F

Page 31 of 41 ends

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO

Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC)3 and allowable under 6 U.S.C. § 609, and any other applicable provision of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended.

Examples of such general-purpose equipment may include:
• Law enforcement vehicles;
• Emergency medical services (EMS) equipment and vehicles; • Fire service equipment and vehicles, to include hose, pump accessories, and foam concentrate for specialized chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives (CBRNE) response;
• Interoperability of data systems, such as computer aided dispatch (CAD) and record management systems (RMS); and
• Office equipment for staff4 engaged in homeland security program activity.

Equipment allowability is based on the Authorized Equipment List (AEL) but exceptions may be considered on a case-by-case basis if (1) the equipment identified to be purchased directly maps to a core capability contained within the Goal, and (2) the equipment’s purpose (when operational) falls under the permitted use of funds in accordance with 6 U.S.C. § 609, and any other applicable provision of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended.

P. Allowable Cost Matrix
The following matrix provides allowable cost activities that fall under each of the cost categories noted above. Recipients and subrecipients must follow all applicable requirements in 2 C.F.R. Part 200 (Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards). Funds under HSGP may be used to cover the costs for evaluating the impact of these grants on the state or urban area’s core capabilities and capability gaps. This list is not exhaustive, therefore, if there are any questions regarding allowable costs, please contact the appropriate HQ GPD Program Analyst.

E. Application Review Information

1. Application Evaluation Criteria
a. Programmatic Criteria
Allocations

Risk Methodology and Effectiveness Review
The risk methodology and effectiveness review first determine the relative risk of terrorism faced by a given area considering the potential risk of terrorism to people, critical infrastructure, and economic security. The analysis includes, but is not limited to, threats from violent domestic extremists, international terrorist groups, and individuals inspired by terrorists abroad.

See the Preparedness Grants Manual
and Application Evaluation Criteria for additional
information on risk methodology and effectiveness review.

The second part of the risk methodology and effectiveness review determines whether the proposed project is clear, logical, and reasonable to address the priority area of interest and contribute to a culture of national preparedness. This part considers factors such as how well the project is described and how well the project addresses the objectives and strategies of the priority area.

Risk and effectiveness will be given equal consideration in determining final award amounts.

NOTE: The THIRA/SPR process is separate from the risk methodology and effectiveness review, and its results do not affect grant allocations.

Evaluation Criteria
FEMA will evaluate the FY 2020 HSGP applications for completeness, adherence to programmatic guidelines, and anticipated effectiveness of the proposed investments. FEMA’s review will include verification that each IJ or project:
• Meets the national priority required spend percentages. • Aligns with at least one core capability identified in the Goal; • Demonstrates how investments support closing capability gaps or sustaining capabilities identified in the THIRA/SPR process; and
• Supports a NIMS-typed resource and whether those assets are deployable/shareable to support emergency or disaster operations per existing EMAC agreements.

EXHIBIT F

Page 35 of 41 ends

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO

In addition to the above, FEMA will determine whether the proposed approach is clear, logical, and reasonable to address the priority areas of interest and contribute to a culture of national preparedness. This part considers factors such as the objectives and strategies proposed to address the priority area, how the objectives and strategies overcome legal, political, or practical obstacles to reduce overall risk, the process and criteria to select additional relevant projects, and the approach to monitor awards to satisfy the funding percentage allocations. Effectiveness will be evaluated prior to award and may impact the final overall award amount. To that end, IJs should include:
• How the proposed investment addresses the national priority; • An explanation of how the proposed projects were selected and will achieve objectives and strategies to build or sustain the core capability gaps identified in the SPR, including expected long-term impact where applicable;
• A summary of laws, policies and practices that can be enhanced, eliminated, or otherwise changed in order to achieve the goals of the project and foster a culture of national preparedness;
• A summary of the collaboration efforts to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism as well as anticipated outcomes of the project.

For FY 2020 HSGP applications, effectiveness will be evaluated based on the following five factors:
• Investment Strategy (30%): Proposals will be evaluated based on the quality and extent to which applicants describe an effective strategy that demonstrates that proposed projects support the program objective of preventing, preparing for, protecting against, and responding to acts of terrorism, to meet its target capabilities, and otherwise reduce the overall risk to the high-risk urban area, the State, or the Nation.

• Budget (10%): Proposals will be evaluated based on the extent to which applicants describe a budget plan for each investment demonstrating how the applicant will maximize cost effectiveness of grant expenditures.

• Impact/Outcomes (30%): Proposals will be evaluated on how this investment helps the jurisdiction close capability gaps identified in its Stakeholder Preparedness Review and addresses national priorities outlined in the FY 2020 NOFO. Further, proposals will be evaluated on their identification and estimated improvement of core capability(ies), theassociated standardized target(s) that align with their proposed investment, and the ways in which the applicant will measure and/or evaluate improvement.

• Collaboration (30%): Proposals will be evaluated based on the degree to which the proposal adequately details how the recipient will use investments and other means to overcome existing logistical, technological, legal, policy, and other impediments to collaborating, networking, sharing information, cooperating, and fostering a culture of national preparedness with federal, state, tribal, and local governments, as well as other regional and nonprofit partners in efforts to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism, to meet its target capabilities, support the national security mission of DHS and other federal agencies, and to otherwise reduce the overall risk to the high-risk urban area, the State, or the Nation. In evaluating applicants under this factor FEMA will consider the information provided by the applicant and may also consider relevant information from other sources.

• Past Performance (additional consideration): Proposals will be evaluated based on the

EXHIBIT F

Page 36 of 41 ends

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO

applicants demonstrated capability to execute the proposed investments. In evaluating applicants under this factor FEMA will consider the information provided by the applicant and may also consider relevant information from other sources.

Recipients are expected to conform, as applicable, with accepted engineering practices, established codes, standards, modeling techniques, and best practices, and participate in the development of case studies demonstrating the effective use of grant funds, as requested.

Review and Selection Process (SHSP and UASI)
To ensure the effectiveness of proposed investments and projects, all applications will undergo a Federal review as described herein. The Federal review will be conducted by DHS and FEMA. IJs will be reviewed at both the investment and project level. Results of the effectiveness analysis may result in a recipient receiving a reduced grant award.

Cybersecurity investments will be reviewed by DHS/FEMA, CISA, and other DHS components as appropriate, for compliance with purposes and requirements of the priority investment area. Proposed investments will be reviewed for effectiveness using the criteria set forth in this NOFO.

Soft Targets/Crowded Places investments will be reviewed by DHS/FEMA, CISA, and other DHS components as appropriate, for compliance with purposes and requirements of the priority investment area. Proposed investments will be reviewed for effectiveness using the criteria set forth in this NOFO.

Information Sharing and Cooperation Investments will be reviewed by DHS/FEMA, DHS Intelligence and Analysis, and other DHS components as appropriate, for compliance with purposes and requirements of the priority investment area. Proposed investments will be reviewed for effectiveness using the criteria set forth in this NOFO.

As part of the above, Fusion center projects will be reviewed by DHS/FEMA for compliance with HSGP NOFO requirements to prioritize the alignment of requests with results from the annual Fusion Center Assessment Program. If a fusion center investment does not meet the requirements, a Fusion Center Addendum must be completed and submitted for review and approval prior to expending funds allocated to fusion center activities.

Emerging threats investments will be reviewed by DHS/FEMA, DHS Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office, and other DHS components as appropriate, for compliance with purposes and requirements of the priority investment area. Proposed investments will be reviewed for effectiveness using the criteria set forth in this NOFO.

All other proposed investments not associated with a required investment justification will undergo a Federal review by DHS/FEMA to verify compliance with all administrative and eligibility criteria identified in the NOFO.

Review and Selection Process (OPSG)
Applications will be reviewed by the SAA and USBP for completeness and adherence to programmatic guidelines and evaluated for anticipated feasibility, need, and impact of the

EXHIBIT F

Page 37 of 41 ends

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO

Operations Orders. For more information on Operations Orders and other requirements of OPSG, see the Preparedness Grants Manual.

DHS/FEMA will verify compliance with all administrative and eligibility criteria identified in the NOFO and required submission of Operations Orders and Inventory of Operations Orders by the established due dates. DHS/FEMA and USBP will use the results of both the risk analysis and the Federal review by DHS/FEMA to make recommendations for funding to the Secretary of Homeland Security.

FY 2020 OPSG funds will be allocated competitively based on risk-based prioritization using the OPSG Risk Assessment described above. Final funding allocations are determined by the Secretary, who may consider information and input from various law enforcement offices or subject-matter experts within the Department. Factors considered include, but are not limited to, threat, vulnerability, miles of the border, and other border-specific law enforcement intelligence, as well as the feasibility of FY 2020 Operations Orders to designated localities within border states and territories.
b. Financial Integrity Criteria
Prior to making a Federal award, DHS/FEMA is required by 31 U.S.C. § 3321 note, 41 U.S.C. § 2313, and 2 C.F.R. § 200.205 to review information available through any OMB- designated repositories of government-wide eligibility qualification or financial integrity information. Application evaluation criteria may include the following risk-based considerations of the applicant:
• Financial stability;
• Quality of management systems and ability to meet management standards; • History of performance in managing Federal awards;
• Reports and findings from audits; and
• Ability to effectively implement statutory, regulatory, or other requirements.

c. Supplemental Financial Integrity Review
Prior to making a Federal award where the anticipated Federal share of a Federal award will be greater than the simplified acquisition threshold, currently $250,000 (see Section 805 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, Pub. L. No. 115-91, OMB Memorandum M-18-18 at https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/M-18-

18.pdf; see also FEMA GPD Information Bulletin No. 434, Increases and Changes to the Micro- Purchase and Simplified Acquisition Thresholds):
• DHS/FEMA is required to review and consider any information about the applicant in the designated integrity and performance system accessible through the System for Award Management (SAM), which is currently the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity

Information System (FAPIIS) and is also accessible through the SAM website. • An applicant, at its option, may review information in FAPIIS and comment on any information about itself that a Federal awarding agency previously entered. • DHS/FEMA will consider any comments by the applicant, in addition to the other information in FAPIIS, in making a judgment about the applicant’s integrity, business ethics, and record of performance under Federal awards when completing the review of risk posed by applicants, as described in 2 C.F.R. § 200.205.

F. Federal Award Administration Information

1. Notice of Award
See the Preparedness Grants Manual for information on Notice of Award.

2. SHSP and UASI Pass-Through Requirements
Awards made to the SAA for HSGP carry additional pass-through requirements. Pass-through is defined as an obligation on the part of the SAA to make funds available to local units of government, combinations of local units, tribal governments, or other specific groups or organizations. Four requirements must be met to pass-through grant funds:
• The SAA must make a firm written commitment to passing through grant funds to subrecipients;
• The SAA’s commitment must be unconditional (i.e., no contingencies for the availability of SAA funds);
• There must be documentary evidence (i.e., award document, terms, and conditions) of the commitment; and
• The award terms must be communicated to the subrecipient.

Timing and Amount
The SAA must pass-through at least 80 percent of the funds awarded under the SHSP and UASI to local or tribal units of government within 45 calendar days of receipt of the funds. “Receipt of the funds” occurs either when the SAA accepts the award or 15 calendar days after the SAA receives notice of the award, whichever is earlier.

SAAs are sent notification of HSGP awards via the GPD’s ND Grants system. If an SAA accepts its award within 15 calendar days of receiving notice of the award in the ND Grants system, the 45-calendar days pass-through period will start on the date the SAA accepted the award. Should an SAA not accept the HSGP award within 15 calendar days of receiving notice of the award in the ND Grants system, the 45-calendar days pass-through period will begin 15 calendar days after the award notification is sent to the SAA via the ND Grants system.

It is important to note that the PoP start date does not directly affect the start of the 45-calendar days pass-through period. For example, an SAA may receive notice of the HSGP award on August 20, 2020, while the PoP dates for that award are September 1, 2020, through August 31, 2022. In this example, the 45-day pass-through period will begin on the date the SAA accepts the HSGP award or September 4, 2020 (15 calendar days after the SAA was notified of the award), whichever date occurs first. The PoP start date of September 1, 2020 would not affect the timing of meeting the 45-calendar day pass-through requirement.

Other SHSP and UASI Pass-Through Requirements
The signatory authority of the SAA must certify in writing to DHS/FEMA that pass-through requirements have been met. A letter of intent (or equivalent) to distribute funds is not considered sufficient. The pass-through requirement does not apply to SHSP awards made to the District of Columbia, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is required to comply with the pass-through requirement, and its SAA must also obligate at least 80 percent of the funds to local units of government within 45 calendar days of receipt of the funds.

EXHIBIT F

Page 39 of 41 ends

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO

Under SHSP, the SAA may retain more than 20 percent of funding for expenditures made by the state on behalf of the local unit(s) of government. This may occur only with the written consent of the local unit of government, specifying the amount of funds to be retained and the intended use of funds. States shall review their written consent agreements yearly and ensure that they are still valid. If a written consent agreement is already in place from previous fiscal years, DHS/FEMA will continue to recognize it for FY 2020, unless the written consent review indicates the local government is no longer in agreement. If modifications to the existing agreement are necessary, the SAA should contact their assigned FEMA HQ Program Analyst.

Additional OPSG Requirements
The recipient is prohibited from obligating or expending funds provided through this award until each unique and specific county-level or equivalent Operational Order/Fragmentary Operations Order budget has been reviewed and approved through an official electronic mail notice issued by DHS/FEMA removing this special programmatic condition.

STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Ron Garcia, Director of Community Development
PREPARED BY: Long T. Tang, PE, Building Official

DATE: November 16, 2022
SUBJECT: Public Hearing and Adoption/Second Reading of Ordinance No. 1471 Adopting the 2022 California Building Code, 2022
California Residential Code with Appendices I and K, 2022 California Existing Building Code, 2022 California Mechanical Code, 2022 California Plumbing Code, 2022 California Electrical Code, 2022 California Green Building Standards Code, 2022 California Energy Code, 2022 California Historical Code, 2022 California Reference Standards Code, 2022 California Fire Code, and 2023 Los Angeles County Fire Code

SUMMARY
The Community Development Department requests the City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt/second reading of Ordinance No. 1471 amending Chapter 150 of Title XV of the Baldwin Park Municipal Code adopting the 2022 Edition of the California Building Code, California Residential Code with Appendices I And K , California Existing Building Code California Mechanical Code, California Plumbing Code, California Electrical Code, California Green Building Standards Code, California Energy Code, California Historical Code, California Reference Standards Code, California Fire Code , and Los Angeles County Fire Code; hereby collectively referred to as the 2022 California Codes.

The changes to the municipal code mainly occur between sections 150.140 and 150.220. The revisions entail updating the titles of the referenced codes and relabeling the referenced code sections to coincide with the California Code sections.

Section 150.084(A)(1) was amended to coincide with Health and Safety Code Section 18938.6 extending the expiration date for building permits from 180 days to 12 months from the date of issuance.

Section 150.225 was added to Chapter 150 to adopt the 2022 California Fire Code (CFC) and 2023 Los Angeles County Fire Code (LACFC). Since Baldwin Park is part of the Los Angeles County Fire district, adopting the CFC and LACFC will allow the Fire Department to enforce all provisions of the Code to ensure fire safety in the City.

Section 150.154 LOCAL AMENDMENTS was added to amend the California Electrical Code to require electrical connections between the main building service panel(s) and accessory or auxiliary buildings, structures, or equipment to be placed underground.

2 RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the City Council:

1. Conduct a Public Hearing

2. Close Public Hearing & Find that the adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it has no potential for resulting in a physical change to the environment, pursuant to Section 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines-Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment.

3. Adopt (Second Reading) Ordinance No. 1471 entitled:

" AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK, CALIFORNIA, Amending CHAPTER 150 OF TITLE XV AND ADDING NEW SECTIONS TO CHAPTER 150 TO TITLE XV OF THE BALDWIN PARK MUNICIPAL CODE, ADOPTING BY REFERENCE, TITLE 24 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, SPECIFICALLY ADOPTING THE 2022 CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE, 2022 CALIFORNIA RESIDENTIAL CODE WITH APPENDICES I AND K, 2022 CALIFORNIA EXISTING BUILDING CODE , 2022 CALIFORNIA MECHANICAL CODE, 2022 CALI FORNIA PLUMBING CODE, 2022 CALIFORNIA ELECTRICAL CODE, 2022 CALIFORNIA GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS CODE, 2022 CALIFORNIA ENERGY CODE, 2022 CALIFORNIA HISTORICAL CODE, 2022 CALIFORNIA REFERENCE STANDARDS CODE, 2022 CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE AND 2023 LOS ANGELES COUNTY FIRE CODE , INCLUDING ALL

APPENDICES, AS MANDATED BY CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTION 18938.”

FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no impact to the General Fund as a result of the adoption of this Ordinance.

CEQA
The adoption of this ordinance is not a project under the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, because it has no potential for resulting in a physical change to the environment. This Ordinance is exempt pursuant to Section 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines -Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment, because it is a regulatory action taken by local ordinance to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment.

BACKGROUND
In order to ensure that building construction standards remain up -to-date and relevant, the State of California amends and adopts the model codes from the International Code Council (ICC) every three years. The 2022 California Codes represent modifications, additions, and deletions to the model code to reflect existing State laws and statutes. The 2022 California Codes, as adopted by the State of California, has the effective date of January 1, 2023.

Current State laws provide that the City of Baldwin Park must adopt the aforementioned codes by reference except that the City may amend the California Codes. Such amendments must be justified as being reasonable and necessary due to local climatic, geologic, and topographic conditions, or for administrative reas ons. If the City does not adopt the State codes by January 1, 2023, the 2022 California Codes become effective without any local amendments. The California Codes state that in the event of any differences between State codes and other referenced document s, the text of the California Codes will govern.

3 LEGAL REVIEW
This report has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney as to legal form and content.

ALTERNATIVES
The City may decide not to adopt the 2022 California Codes; in which case, State law will mandate their use without local amendments after January 1, 2023. In addition, the City’s fire-rated roofing, pool fencing, local grading requirements, and several other provisions of the Baldwin Park Munic ipal Code may not be enforced.
