13296 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 54 / Wednesday, March 21, 2007 / Notices 

to purchase equipment to support 

advance level EMS services. Items that 

are eligible but a lower priority include 

tents, shelters, generators, lights, and 

heating and cooling units. Firefighting 

equipment is not eligible under this 

activity. 

As discussed previously, 

organizations taking on ‘‘new risks’’ will 

be afforded much higher consideration 

than an organization taking on a ‘‘new 

mission.’’

(iii) EMS Personal Protective 

Equipment. DHS gave the same 

priorities for EMS PPE as it did for fire 

department PPE discussed above. 

Acquisition of PASS devices or any 

firefighting PPE is not eligible, however, 

for funding for EMS organizations. 

(iv) Wellness and Fitness Activities. 

DHS believes that to have an effective 

wellness/fitness program, nonaffiliated 

EMS organizations must offer periodic 

health screenings, entry physical 

examinations, and an immunization 

program similar to the programs for fire 

departments discussed previously. 

Accordingly, applicants for grants in 

this category must currently offer or 

plan to offer with grant funds all three 

benefits (periodic health screenings, 

entry physical examinations, and an 

immunization program) to receive 

funding for any other initiatives in this 

activity. The priorities for EMS 

wellness/fitness programs are the same 

as for fire departments as discussed 

above. 

(v) Modification to EMS Stations and 

Facilities. DHS believes that the 

competitive rankings and priorities 

applied to modification of fire stations 

and facilities, discussed above, apply 

equally to EMS stations and facilities. 

(2) EMS Vehicle Acquisition Program. 

DHS gave the highest funding priority 

to acquisition of ambulances and 

transport vehicles due to the inherent 

benefits to the community and EMS 

service provider. Due to the costs 

associated with obtaining and outfitting 

non-transport rescue vehicles relative to 

the benefits derived from such vehicles, 

DHS will give non-transport rescue 

vehicles a lower competitive rating than 

transport vehicles. Vehicles that have a 

very narrow function, such as aircraft, 

boats, and all-terrain vehicles, received 

the lowest competitive rating. DHS 

anticipates that the EMS vehicle awards 

will be very competitive due to very 

limited available funding. Accordingly, 

DHS will likely only fund vehicles that 

are listed as a ‘‘Priority One’’ in the 

2007 program year. 

The following chart delineates the 

priorities in this program area for EMS 

vehicle program. The priorities are the 

same regardless of the type of 

community served. 

EMS VEHICLE PRIORITIES

Priority one Priority two Priority three 

• Ambulance or transport 

unit to support EMT-B 

needs and functions 

• First responder nontransport vehicles 

• Special operations vehicles 

• Helicopters/planes. 

• Command vehicles. 

• Rescue boats (over 13 

feet in length). 

• Hovercraft. 

• Other special access vehicles. 

Along with the priorities illustrated 

above, DHS has accepted the fire service 

recommendation that emerged from the 

criteria development process that 

funding applicants that own few or no 

vehicles of the type sought will be more 

beneficial than funding applicants that 

own numerous vehicles of that same 

type. DHS assesses the number of 

vehicles an applicant owns by including 

all vehicles of the same type. For 

example, transport vehicles will be 

considered the same as ambulances. 

DHS will give a higher competitive 

rating to applicants that have an aged 

fleet of emergency vehicles, and to 

applicants with old, high-mileage 

vehicles. DHS will give a higher 

competitive rating to applicants that 

respond to a significant number of 

incidents relative to applicants 

responding less often. Finally, DHS will 

afford applicants with transport vehicles 

with high mileage more consideration 

than applicants with vehicles that 

driven extensively. 

(3) Administrative Costs. Panelists 

assess the reasonableness of the 

administrative costs requested in each 

application and determined whether the 

request will be reasonable and in the 

best interest of the program.
