FY 2006 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM -. DECEMBER 2, 2005 Written approval must be provided by G&T prior to the use of any HSGP funds for construction or renovation. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) NEP A requires G&T to analyze the possible environmental impacts of each construction project.

Grantees wishing to use G&T funding for construction projects must complete and submit a NEP A Compliance Checklist. Details about this process (including the checklist) can be found by contacting the respective G&T Preparedness Officer. Additionally, grantees may be required to provide additional detailed information on the activities to be conducted, locations, sites, possible construction activities, possible alternatives, and any environmental concerns that may exist.
