<br />FY 2006 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM DECEMBER 2, 2005 <br /> <br />C.6. Personnel <br /> <br />Hiring, overtime, and backfill expenses are allowable only to perform programmatic activities <br />deemed allowable under existing guidance. Supplanting, however, is not allowed. <br /> <br />Up to 15% of programmatic spending may be used to support the hiring of full or part-time <br />personnel to conduct program activities that are allowable under the entire FY 2006 HSGP (i.e., <br />planning, training program management, exercise program management, etc). Grantees may <br />request that DHS issue a waiver to increase that ceiling. Waiver decisions are at the discretion of <br />DHS and will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The ceiling on personnel costs does not <br />apply to contractors, and is in addition to eligible M&A costs and eligible hiring of intelligence <br />analysts. Grantees may hire staff only for program management functions not operational duties. <br />Hiring planners, training program coordinators, exercise managers, and grant administrators fall <br />within the scope of allowable program management functions. Grant funds may not be used to <br />support the hiring of sworn public safety officers to fulfill traditional public safety duties. <br /> <br />C.7. Manal!ement and Administration <br /> <br />No more than 5 percent of the State's allocation under SHSP may be used for M&A. Local <br />jurisdiction subgrantees may retain and use up to 3 percent of their subaward from the State for <br />local M&A purposes. States may pass through a portion of the State M&A allocation to local <br />sub grantees in order to supplement the 3 percent M&A allocation allowed on subgrants. <br />However, no more than 5 percent of the total subaward may be expended by subgrantees on <br />M&A costs. <br /> <br />PREPAREDNESS DIRECTORATE'S OFFICE OF GRANTS AND TRAINING <br /> <br />74 <br /> <br /> <br />
