The following pages outline global allowable costs guidance applicable to all programs included in the HSGP. 0.1. Planninl! Planning activities are central to SHSP, UASI, LETPP, MMRS, and CCP. Accordingly, States and Urban Areas may use FY 2006 HSGP funds for planning efforts that enable States and Urban Areas to prioritize needs, build capabilities, update preparedness strategies, allocate resources, and deliver preparedness programs across disciplines (e.g., law enforcement, fire, EMS, public health, behavioral health, public works, agriculture, information technology, and citizen preparedness) and levels of government. The planning process should address emergency operations plans and protocols for addressing major events and program planning for the successful implementation and management of each State's homeland security program. Examples of allowable planning costs are addressed in each program's individual section. D.2. Orl!anization (VASI and LETPP only) States and Urban Areas may use FY 2006 UASI and LETPP funds to support select organization activities. States and Urban Areas must justify proposed expenditures ofUASI or LETPP funds to support organization activities within their Investment Justification submission using historical data and other analysis to substantiate their proposals. No more than 25 percent of the gross amount of the allocation for these programs may be used for operational expenses and overtime costs for the three (3) operational activities noted below. I. Operational overtime costs associated with increased security measures at critical infrastructure sites during DHS-declared periods of heightened alert. UASI: Up to 25 percent ofFY 2006 funds may be used in UASIjurisdictions. · Of this amount, up to 10 percent may be used for costs incurred during Code Yellow or Orange. . The remaining 15 percent may be used for costs incurred only during Code Orange. . Operational overtime costs incurred at National Special Security Events (NSSEs) in UASI jurisdictions, as designated by the Secretary of Homeland Security, are also allowed. .

However, those activities must directly support increased security measures enacted in the UASI jurisdictions. States should be judicious in the use of Federal grant funds when protecting critical infrastructure and should leverage public/private partnerships. States should also consider the use of private assets in the protection of private facilities. LETPP: Up to 25 percent ofFY 2006 LETPP funds may be used for costs incurred during Code Orange.
