The Urban Area definition must, at a minimum, cover the geographical area used to determine eligibility through the data count and risk analysis. The definition of the Urban Area is limited to jurisdictions contiguous to the geographic area used to determine eligibility, or with which jurisdictions in that area have established formal mutual aid agreements. States may request a waiver for this limitation for regions previously established by Executive Order, law or compact. For the purposes of the FY 2006 UASI, the Washington, D.C. Urban Area will consist of the National Capital Region (NCR) as set forth in 10 U.S.C. 2674(f)(2). In coordination with the Urban Area Working Group (UA WG), the SAA pac may redefine the geographic boundaries of an existing Urban Area, as it will apply to the FY 2006 UASI Program. The SAA pac must notify G&T of this change. · Establish the Urban Area Working Group (UA WG): The geographical area identified through the data count, described in Chapter VII, UASI Program Guidance, must be part of the defined Urban Area and must be fully represented on the UA WG. The SAA pac must determine appropriate representation for that geographic area to serve on the UA WG. Furthermore, where there is a Regional Transit Security Working Group (RTSWG) or a Area Maritime Security Committee active within the geographical area, the UA WG should include them as functional sub-committees to their organization. G&T strongly encourages that, wherever possible, previously established local working groups be leveraged for this purpose.
