FY 2006 HOMELAND SECURfTY GRANT PROGRAM - DECEMBER 2, 2005 previous guidance issued in Information Bulletin #135 and outlined below. These activities must be coordinated with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). In support of these efforts for enhanced capabilities of detecting, deterring, disrupting, and preventing acts of terrorism, costs eligible for reimbursement under this policy are identical to those deemed allowable under previous Code Orange alerts. Therefore, subject to the conditions stated above, States and local governments may use FY 2006 UASI and LETPP funds 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 local emergency operations centers (EOCs). . Hiring of contracted security for critical infrastructure sites. . Public safety overtime. . National Guard deployments to protect critical infrastructure sites, including all resources that are part of the standard National Guard deployment package. . Increased border security activities in coordination with CBP, as outlined in Information Bulletin #135.10 Consumable costs, such as fuel expenses, are not aI/owed except as part of the standard National Guard deployment package. 2. Overtime costs are allowable for personnel to participate in information, investigative, and intelligence sharing activities specifically related to homeland security. This includes activities such as anti-terrorism task forces, Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTF), Area Maritime Security Committees (as required by the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002), and Terrorism Early Warning (TEW) groups. 3. Grant funds may be used for the hiring of new staff and/or contractors to serve as intelligence analysts to enable information/intelligence sharing capabilities. In order to be hired as an Intelligence Analyst, staff and/or contractor personnel must have successfully completed training to ensure baseline proficiency in intelligence analysis and production. Furthermore, costs associated with hiring new intelligence analysts are allowable only for the period of performance of the FY 2006 UASI and LETPP programs. Upon close-out of the FY 2006 10 Proposed operational activities should emphasize those measures that will increase border security in direct coordination with CBP personnel. State, local, and Tribal law enforcement personnel may provide increased enforcement presence by generally increasing their patrol presence at the border; by providing additional traffic control support at the border and at border patrol traffic checkpoints; and by enhancing their participation in the Integrated Border Enforcement Teams. This policy does not result in a change or extension of Federal authority to State, Tribal, or local law enforcement agencies to enforce Federal immigration laws. If Federal immigration violations are encountered, consistent with current practices, State, local, and Tribal agencies may refer those violations to CBP authorities for appropriate action. No funds may be obligated or drawn down in support of these activities without HQ-CBP approval of operational plans and without submission to and approval by G&T of budget detail worksheets. State, local, and Tribal law enforcement agencies shall not use this funding to supplant routine patrol and law enforcement operations or activities in order to perform other activities not directly related to providing an enhanced law enforcement presence.
