FY 2006 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM -- DECEMBER 2, 2005 The risk formula for the FY 2006 HSGP consists of making two different, but complementary, risk calculations: asset-based risk and geographically-based risk. . Asset-based risk utilizes threat values derived from Intelligence Community assessments of the intent and capability of adversaries to accomplish a set of baseline attack modes. These threats and attack types are mapped against specific infrastructure types (e.g., bridges, dams, and chemical plants). · Geographically-based risk takes into account values that are based on the inherent attributes of the geographical candidate (i.e., State or Urban Area). This analysis takes into account such factors as international borders, terrorism-related reporting and investigations, and population density. The risk associated with assets is combined with the risk associated with a geographical area to produce a total terrorism risk score. Need The needs of State and local governments will be determined as an output of the Program and Capability Review initiative currently underway. This effort seeks to assist States in determining tbeir needs in relation to the capabilities outlined in the Goal through a comprehensive evaluation of their homeland security program and priority capabilities. Through this review process, States will develop two key submissions for the FY 2006 HSGP application: . Prozram and Caoabilitv Enhancement Plan, which is a multi-year global program management plan for the entire State homeland security program that looks beyond G&T grant programs and funding; and . Investment Justification, which identifies areas of specific Initiatives from the Enhancement Plan for which States wish to utilize FY 2006 HSGP funding. States must use the Investment Justification to outline implementation approaches for specific investments that will go towards achieving the Initiatives outlined in their Enhancement Plan, and justify all funding requested through the HSGP, including all VASI funding, any base allocations for SHSP and LETPP, and all formula allocations under MMRS and CCP. Applications will be evaluated based on the effectiveness ofa State's plan to address priorities it has outlined, and thereby reduce its overall risk. This approach creates incentives for States and Urban Areas to develop innovative solutions and effectively leverage HSGP funds in the management and implementation of their overall homeland security program. Scoring criteria are outlined in the Application Kit section of this document. Additional information on the Program and Capability Enhancement Plan and Investment Justification, including scoring criteria, are available in Chapter IV Application Kit. Detailed guidance, including an Investment Justification template is available in Appendix B. All Investment Justifications will be formally reviewed and scored through a peer review process. States will be notified of their final total allocation at the time of award. PREPAREDNESS D1RECTORATE'S OFFICE OF GRANTS AND TRAINING 53
