No. 110-412), SHSP and UASI funds may be used to hire new staff and/or contractor positions to serve as intelligence analysts to enable information/intelligence sharing capabilities, as well as support existing intelligence analysts previously covered by SHSP-or UASI funding. In order to be hired as an intelligence analyst, staff and/or contractor personnel must meet least one of the following criteria: - Successfully complete training to ensure baseline proficiency in intelligence analysis and production within six months of being hired; and/or, - Previously served as an intelligence analyst for a minimum of two years either 1 a Federal intelligence agency, the military, or state and/or local law enforcemen intelligence unit. I As identified in the priority entitled, Maturation and Enhancement of State and Major Urban Area Fusion Centers, all fusion center analytic personnel must demonstrate qualifications that meet or exceed competencies identified in the Common Competenciesfor State, Local, and Tribal Intelligence Analysts, which outlines the minimum categories of training needed for intelligence analysts. A certificate of completion of such training must be on file with the SAA Page 55 of 86 Appendix C — Funding Guidelini and must be made available to the recipient's respective HQ Program Analyst upon request. In addition to these training requirements, fusion centers should also continue to mature their analytic capabilities by addressing gaps in analytic capability identified during the fusion center's annual assessment. * Overtime costs. Overtime costs are allowable for personnel to participate in information investigative, and intelligence sharing activities specifically related to homeland security and specifically requested by a federal agency. Allowable costs are limited to overtime associated with federally requested participation in eligible fusion activities, including anti- terrorism task forces, Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs), Area Maritime Security Committees (as required by the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002), DHS Border Enforcement Security Task Forces, and Integrated Border Enforcement Teams. Grant funding can only be used in proportion to the federal man-hour estimate, and only after funding for these activities from other federal sources (i.e., FBI JTTF payments to state and local agencies) has been exhausted. Under no circumstances should DHS/FEMA grant funding be used to pay for costs already supported by funding from anot er • 1era source. 9 Operational overtime costs. In support of efforts to enhance capabilities for detecting, deterring, disrupting, and preventing acts of terrorism and other catastrophic events, operational overtime costs are allowable for increased security measures at critical infrastructure sites. SHSP or UASI funds for organizational costs may be used to support select operational expenses associated with increased security measures at critical infrastructure sites in the following authorized categories: - Backfill and overtime expenses for staffing state or Major Urban Area fusion center - Hiring of contracted security for critical infrastructure sites; - Participation in Regional Resiliency Assessment Program activities-, - Public safety overtime; 'I - Title 32 or state Active Duty National Guard deployments to protect critical infrastructure sites, including all resources that arc part of the standard National Guard deployment package (Note: Consumable costs, such as fuel expenses, arc not allowed except as part of the standard National Guard deployment package); and - Increased border security activities in coordination with CBP. Note: States with UASI jurisdictions can use funds retained at the state level to reimburse eligible operational overtime expenses incurred by the state (per the above guidance limitations and up to a maximum of 50 percent (50%) of the state share of the UASI grant). Any UASI funds retained by the state must be used in direct support of the Urban Area. States must provide documentation to the UAWG and DHS/FEMA upon request demonstrating how any UASI funds retained by the state would directly support the Urban Area.

With the exception of maintenance plans purchased incidental to the original purchase of the equipment, the period covered by maintenance or warranty plan must not exceed the PoP of the specific grant funds used to purchase the plan or warranty. Grant funds are intended to support the Goal by funding projects that build and sustain the core capabilities necessary to prevent, protect against, mitigate the effects of, respond to, and recover from those threats that pose the greatest risk to the security of the Nation. In order to provide recipients the ability to meet this objective, the policy set forth in GPD's IB 379 (Guidance to State Administrative Agencies to Expedite the Expenditure of Certain DHS/FEMA Grant Funding) allows for the expansion of eligible maintenance and sustainnient costs which must be in 1) direct support of existing capabilities; (2) must be an otherwise allowable expenditure under the applicable grant program; (3) be tied to one of the core capabilities in the five mission areas contained within the Goal, and (4) shareable through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact. Additionally, eligible costs must also be in support of equipment, training, and critical resources that have previously been purchased with either federal grant or any other source of funding other than DHS/FEMA preparedness grant program dollars. Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Activities Allowable Costs (SHSP and UASI) Activities eligible for use of LETPA focused funds are outlined in the National Prevention Framework (and where capabilities are shared with the protection mission area, the National Protection Framework) and include but are not limited to: • Maturation and enhancement of designated state and major Urban Area fusion centers, including information sharing and analysis, threat recognition, terrorist interdiction, and training/ hiring of intelligence analysts; • Coordination between fusion centers and other analytical and investigative efforts including, but not limited to Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs), Field Intelligence Groups (FIGs), High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTAs), Regional Information Sharing Systems (RISS) Centers, criminal intelligence units, and real-time crime analysis centers; • Implementation and maintenance of the Nationwide SAR Initiative, including training for front line personnel on identifying and reporting suspicious activities; Implementation of the "If You See Something, Say SomethingTm" campaign to raise public awareness of indicators of terrorism and terrorism -related crime and associated efforts to increase the sharing of information with public and private sector partners, including nonprofit organizations.

Page 60 of 86 Appendix C - Funding Guidelines HSGP funds may not be used to support the hiring of any personnel for the purposes of fulfilling traditional public health and safety duties or to supplant traditional public health and safety positions and responsibilities. The following are definitions as it relates to personnel costs: • Hiring. State and local entities may use grant funding to cover the salary of newly hired personnel who are exclusively undertaking allowable /DHSFEMA program activities as specified in this guidance. This may not include new personnel who are hired to fulfill any non-DHS/FEMA program activities under any circumstances. Hiring will always result in a net increase of Full Time Equivalent (FTE) employees. • Overtime. These expenses are limited to the additional costs which result from personnel working over and above 40 hours of weekly work time as a direct result of their performance of DHS/FEMA-approved activities specified in this guidance. Overtime associated with any other activity is not eligible. • Backfill -related Overtime. Also called "Overtime as Backfill," these expenses are limited to overtime costs which result from personnel who are working overtime (as identified above) to perform the duties of other personnel who are temporarily assigned to DHS/FEMA-approved activities outside their core responsibilities. Neither overtime nor backfill expenses are the resu t of an increase of FTE emp oyees. • Supplanting. Grant funds will be used to supplement existing funds, and will not replace (supplant) funds that have been appropriated for the same purpose. Applicants or recipients may be required to supply documentation certifying that a reduction in non- federal resources occurred for reasons other than the receipt or expected receipt of federal funds. Operat onal Packages Packs H P and U I Applicants may elect to pursue operational package (OPack) funding, suc as an ne Teams, Mobile Explosive Screening Teams, and Anti -Terrorism Teams, for new capabilities as well as to sustain existing OPacks.
