13080 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 42 / Friday, March 2, 2001 / Notices

for new police personnel to funding for

law enforcement training and

equipment for new and existing officers.

This program will enhance law

enforcement infrastructures and

community policing efforts in these

Tribal communities, many of which

have limited resources and are affected

by high rates of crime and violence.

The Tribal Resources Grant Program

is part of a larger Federal initiative

which over the last three years, has

resulted in the Departments of Interior

and Justice working in collaboration to

improve law enforcement in tribal

communities. Funding has been

appropriated to several DOJ agencies

including the FBI, the Bureau of Justice

Assistance (BJA), the Office of Juvenile

Justice and Delinquency Prevention

(OJJDP), the Corrections Program Office

(CPO), and the COPS Office. COPS is

coordinating with these agencies as well

as with the Office of Law Enforcement

Services of the Bureau of Indian Affairs

to ensure that limited resources are not

spent on duplicative efforts.

The Tribal Resources Grant will

provide tribal communities with the

resources to: Hire new police officers;

train new and existing officers in

community policing, grants

management and computer training as

well as basic police training at a state

academy or the Indian Police Academy

in Artesia, NM; and provide basic

standard issue equipment, ranging from

bullet-proof vests and uniforms, to

firearms and portable radios.

The Tribal Resources Grant Program

emphasizes deployment of officers and

resources into communities that are

affected by high rates of crime and

violence. Applicants must submit a

written plan to retain their COPSfunded officer positions after Federal

funding has ended. This plan must be

submitted to the COPS Office with the

Tribal Resources Grant Program

application.

A total of $40,000,000 in funding will

be available under the Tribal Resources

Grant Program. The grant will cover a

maximum Federal Share of 75% of total

project costs,, including approved salary

and benefits of entry-level police

officers (up to a maximum of $75,000

per officer over three years), basic law

enforcement training and equipment,

vehicles, and technology. A local match

requirement of 25% of the total project

costs is included in this program. A

waiver of the local match requirement

may be requested but will be granted

only on the basis of documented

demonstrated fiscal hardship. Requests

for waivers must be submitted with the

application.

Tribes whose law enforcemnt services

are exclusively provided by local

policing agencies through contract

arrangements are not eligible under this

COPS program. However, tribes that do

not meet the eligibility requirements for

this program may apply to the COPS

Office Universal Hiring Program for

police officer positions only.

Receiving an award under the Tribal

Resources Grant Program will not

preclude grantees from future

consideration under other COPS grant

programs for which they are eligible.

The Catalog of Federal Domestic

Assistance (CFDA) reference for this

program is 16.710.
