SUBJECT: FY 2006 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) Allocation Announcement 

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announces the final award allocations for all 

programs included in the FY 2006 HSGP: State Homeland Security Program (SHSP), Law 

Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program (LETPP), Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), 

Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS), and the Citizen Corps Program (CCP). The 

FY 2006 HSGP provides approximately $1.7 billion to States, Territories, and Urban Areas to 

enhance their capabilities to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist 

attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies. The specific amounts for each State, Territory, 

and Urban Area are included as Appendix A. There are no appeals of these final award amounts. 

The final FY 2006 HSGP allocations were determined based on the following methodologies: 

Program Allocation Methodology 

SHSP Base allocation according to USA PATRIOT Act formula, with the remainder 

allocated based on analysis of relative risk and anticipated effectiveness of 

proposed solutions 

LETPP Base allocation according to USA PATRIOT Act formula, with the remainder 

allocated based on analysis of relative risk and anticipated effectiveness of 

proposed solutions 

UASI All funding allocated based on analysis of relative risk and anticipated 

effectiveness of proposed solutions 

MMRS Funding distributed equally among 124 MMRS jurisdictions (allocation 

amounts announced on February 3, 2006 via Information Bulletin 201) 

CCP Base allocation according to USA PATRIOT Act formula, with the remainder 

allocated based on population (allocation amounts announced on February 3, 

2006 via Information Bulletin 201) 
2 

Final award documentation is in-process and will be distributed via email at the end of June. 

Award notifications will be sent before midnight on the award date to the point of contact and 

the authorized representative provided in the application in the Grants Management System via 

an email from no-reply@ojp.usdoj.gov. 

Both the period of performance for the grant and the allotted time in which grantees must submit 

their Initial Strategy Implementation Plan (ISIP) begin with the issuance of the final award, not 

the announcement of the final allocation amounts. 

Feedback on FY 2006 HSGP Award Information 

DHS has provided to each State and Urban Area the following information relative to the FY 

2006 HSGP award: 

• Award Summary: summary of funding allocation information including: award amount, 

risk and effectiveness analysis results, and funding history 

• Risk Profile: description of the criteria DHS used to analyze relative risk of States and 

Urban Areas, a high-level synopsis of the results, and specific information on asset-based 

and geographic-based risk 

• Effectiveness Profile: description of the criteria the peer reviewers used to evaluate the 

State or Urban Area’s submission, a high-level synopsis of the results, a ranking of 

individual Investments in the State or Urban Area’s submission based on the peer review 

process, and more specific information on the results of the analysis of each individual 

Investment and the overall submission 

In the coming weeks, DHS will also provide summary feedback from the peer review panels 

based on their review of submissions. This information will provide more detailed information 

on strengths and areas for improvement for both individual Investments and the overall 

submission. 

Special Conditions on Specific Investments 

The Effectiveness Profile includes information, where applicable, on those investments that 

scored among the bottom 15% of all Investments submitted by either States or Urban Areas. 

These specific cases are subject to a special condition in the final grant award prohibiting the 

drawdown of funds against these Investments until they have been approved through DHS. 

Grantees are encouraged to review the Effectiveness Profile to determine whether the 

implementation of any of their proposed Investments will be impacted by this special condition. 

Initial Strategy Implementation Plan and the FY 2006 HSGP 

As in previous years, States are required to submit an ISIP within 60 days of the actual grant 

award. However, both the format and the specific information included in the FY 2006 ISIP will 

be different in order to reflect the new application and planning processes instituted this fiscal 

year. Select information from each Investment Justification is being transferred into the Grants 

Reporting Tool (GRT) to facilitate reporting on specific investments during the grant period of 

performance. Pertinent information pulled from the application submissions includes the names 

of all proposed investments and the requested amounts for these investments. States will use the 
3 

GRT to submit the following information for all programs included in the FY 2006 HSGP within 

60 days of the final grant award: 

• Prioritized list of the final investments that the State/Urban Area has elected to fund, 

ranked in order of the most important 

• Final funding amounts for each investment that the State/Urban Area has elected to fund 

• Names of subgrantees who will receive funding under the FY 2006 HSGP 

• Amounts that subgrantees will receive under the FY 2006 HSGP 

Grantees will not be required to identify specific projects for each investment as part of the ISIP. 

This information, along with linkages to the Interim National Preparedness Goal, the Target 

Capabilities List, and the National Priorities, will instead be captured in the first Biannual 

Strategy Implementation Report for the FY 2006 HSGP, due to DHS in January 2007. 

The ISIP provides an opportunity for States and Urban Areas to decide which Investments are 

most critical to support in light of the final award amounts. States and Urban Areas are not 

required to fund all proposed Investments. 

Following the issuance of the final award, grantees may use planning and management and 

administration funds as part of their FY 2006 HSGP award to support completion of the ISIP 

requirement. 

Any questions may be directed to your Preparedness Officer or the Centralized Scheduling and 

Information Desk at askcsid@dhs.gov or 1-800-368-6498.
