FY 2006 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM ~ DECEMBER 2, 2005 to obligate funds to subgrantees, the SAA must make the allocation determination. If consensus cannot be reached within the 60-day time period and the Urban Area crosses State boundaries, the SAA to whom funding has been awarded must make the allocation determination. The SAA must provide written documentation verifying consensus of the UA WG, or the failure to achieve consensus, on the allocation of funds provided through the FY 2006 UASI program. This documentation must be submitted to G&T not later than 60 days after the grant award date, and prior to the obligation or drawdown of funds. Any funds retained by the State on behalf of an Urban Area must be used in direct support of the Urban Area. Defining Urban Areas: The SAA POC, in coordination with the entities included in the geographic area used to determine eligibility, must fully define the Urban Area as it will apply to the FY 2006 UASI program. The Urban Area definition must, at a minimum, cover the geographical area used to determine eligibility through the data count and risk analysis. In some cases, this geographic area may cross State borders. States should consider contiguous jurisdictions, mutual aid partners, and existing homeland security systems and relationships in defining the Urban Area. 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 program, the Washington, D.C. Urban Area will consist of the NCR as set forth in 10 U.S.c. 2674(f)(2). In coordination with the UA WG, the SAA POC may redefine the geographic boundaries of the Urban Area as it will apply to the FY 2006 UASI program. The SAA POC must notify G&T of this change. . For the purposes of the FY 2006 UASI program, the State may request a waiver to define Urban Areas using regions previously established by Executive Order, law or compact. . If the Urban Area is expanded to include additional jurisdictions, those additional jurisdictions are eligible for, but not entitled to, receipt of funding through the program. All FY 2006 UASI program budget allocations must continue to support the Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy and will continue to require concurrence from the core city(ies), core county(ies), and SAA. . Inclusion of additional jurisdictions will not lead to increased funding for the Urban Area. · Training, planning, organizing, and exercising projects can be implemented as regional projects with or without a change to the Urban Area. C. Authorized Program Expenditures Allowable expenditures for the FY 2006 UASI program comport with FY 2006 SHSP (except for the use of funds for operational costs).
