<br />FY 2006 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM - DECEMBER 2, 2005 <br /> <br />Within 60 days of the grant award, the SAA will submit a prioritization of investments based <br />upon the final grant award amounts and a certification that funds have been passed through to <br />local units of government (to include the identification of subgrantees and sub-award amounts.) <br /> <br />B. Drawdown of Funds <br /> <br />Following the acceptance of the grant award and the release of any special conditions <br />withholding funds, the grantee can drawdown funds through the following methods: the <br />Automated Standard Application for Payments (ASAP), Phone Activated Paperless Response <br />System (P APRS), or Letter Of Credit Electronic Certification System (LOCES). <br /> <br />In support of continuing efforts to meet the accelerated financial statement reporting <br />requirements mandated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Office of Management <br />and Budget (OMB), payment processing will be interrupted during the last five (5) working days <br />of each month. SAAs should make payment requests before the last five working days of the <br />month to avoid delays in deposit of payments. For example, for the month of September, the last <br />day to request (drawdown) payments was September 23, 2005. Payments requested after <br />September 23,2005, will be processed when the regular schedule resumed on October 1,2005. <br />A similar schedule will follow at the end of each month thereafter. <br /> <br />To avoid denial of payment requests, grantees are encouraged to submit their SF269a FSRs <br />online at httn:l/grants.oin.usdoi.gov. Additional information and instructions are available at this <br />website. <br /> <br />Questions regarding grant payments should be addressed to the OlP OC at 1-800-458-0786 or <br />email askoc(Cvoin.usdoi.gov. <br /> <br />Questions regarding all other financial/administrative issues should be addressed to the OGO <br />Information Line at l-866-9ASKOGO (927-5646) or email at ask-ogo@dhs.gov. <br /> <br />C. Reporting Requirements <br /> <br />Reporting requirements for all programs included in HSGP will be consolidated into a single <br />reporting system. <br /> <br />C.l Financial Status Report (FSR) (Required quarterly) <br /> <br />Obligations and expenditures must be reported to G&T on a quarterly basis through the FSR, <br />which is due within 30 days of the end of each calendar quarter (e.g., for the quarter ending <br />March 31, FSR is due on April 30). Please note that this is a change from previous fiscal years. <br />A report must be submitted for every quarter the award is active, including partial calendar <br />quarters, as well as for periods where no grant activity occurs. A copy of this form will be <br />included in the initial award package. Also, FSRs may be filed on-line through the internet at <br />httn:/lgrants.ojn.lIsdoi.gov. Future awards and fund drawdowns will be withheld if these reports <br />are delinquent. <br /> <br />PREPAREDNESS DIRECTORATE'S OFFICE OF GRANTS AND TRAINING <br /> <br />64 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
