<br />FY 2006 HOMELAND SECURfTY GRANT PROGRAM - DECEMBER 2, 2005 <br /> <br />Act of 1973 that prohibits discrimination based on disability by recipients of Federal financial <br />assistance. <br /> <br />D. Allowable Costs Guidance <br /> <br />The Goal identifies six elements of capability that support the building and sustaining of <br />capabilities, which are consistent with NIMS. These newly outlined elements of capability track <br />closely with the five allowable cost categories traditionally used in G&T grant programs <br />(planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercises, oftentimes referred to collectively as <br />POETE). In addition to these programmatic allowable costs, HSGP also allows for personnel <br />costs, as well as management and administrative costs. Table 5 below crosswalks the elements <br />of capability from the Goal and the HSGP allowable cost categories in order to demonstrate the <br />alignment between these categories. <br /> <br />Table 5 - POETE and the Elements of Capability <br /> <br />POETE Elements of Capabilit~ Elcml'nt of C.lpabilit~ .IS U"..fincd in till' Goal <br />Framc\\ork Outlined in the Gual <br />Planning Planning Collection and analysis of intelligence and information, <br /> and development of policies, plans, procedures, mutual <br /> aid agreements, strategies, and other publications that <br /> comply with relevant laws, regulations, and guidance <br /> necessary to perform assigned missions and tasks. <br />Organization Organization and Leadership Individual teams, an overall organizational structure, and <br /> leadership at each level in the structure that comply with <br /> relevant laws, regulations, and guidance necessary to <br /> I perform assh~ned missions and tasks. <br />Equipment Equipment and Systems Major items of equipment, supplies, facilities, and <br /> systems that comply with relevant standards necessary to <br /> perform assigned missions and tasks. <br />Training Training Content and methods of delivery that comply with <br /> relevant training standards necessary to perform <br /> assigned missions and tasks. <br />Exercises Exercises, Evaluations, and Exercises, self assessments, peer assessments, outside <br /> Corrective Actions review, compliance monitoring, and actual major events <br /> that provide opportunities to demonstrate, evaluate, and <br /> improve the combined capability and interoperability of <br /> the other elements to perform assigned missions and <br /> tasks to standards necessary to achieve successful <br /> outcomes. <br /> Personnel (Element added in the Paid staff who meet required qualification and <br /> Goal) certification standards necessary to perform assigned <br /> missions and tasks. <br /> <br />It is important to note that the elements of capability explicitly include personnel costs.
