FY 2006 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM - DECEMBER 2, 2005 developed by the State, and be in line with the Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy. Further, Urban Areas are encouraged to develop a Multi-year Plan and Schedule that takes into consideration anticipated training needs of the Urban Area for at least the immediate year, with exercises being timed to provide responders the opportunity to utilize training received. This combined schedule should also ensure that training and exercises complement each other. An example of a combined Multi-year Training and Exercise Plan can be found at the HSEEP Website or G&T Secure Portal. Further guidance concerning EPWs can be found in the HSEEP Volumes. Urban Areas are eligible to apply for exercise direct support, but must do so in coordination with the SAA. C.6. Personnel Hiring, overtime, and backfill expenses are allowable only to perform programmatic activities deemed allowable under existing guidance. Supplanting, however, is not allowed. Up to 15% of programmatic spending may be used to support the hiring of full or part-time personnel to conduct program activities that are allowable under the entire FY 2006 HSGP (i.e., planning, training program management, exercise program management, etc). Grantees may request that DHS issue a waiver to increase that ceiling. Waiver decisions are at the discretion of DHS and will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The ceiling on personnel costs does not apply to contractors, and is in addition to eligible M&A costs and eligible hiring of intelligence analysts. Grantees may hire staff only for program management functions not operational duties. Hiring planners, training program coordinators, exercise managers, and grant administrators fall within the scope of allowable program management functions. Grant funds may not be used to support the hiring of sworn public safety officers to fulfill traditional public safety duties. C.7. Manal!ement and Administration No greater than 5 percent of the UASI allocation may be used for M&A. Localjurisdiction subgrantees may retain and use up to 3 percent of their subaward from the State for local M&A purposes. States may pass through a portion of the State M&A allocation to local subgrantees in order to supplement the 3 percent M&A allocation allowed on subgrants. However, no more than 5 percent of the total subaward may be expended by subgrantees on M&A costs. PREPARE:DNESS DIRECTORATE'S OFFICE OF GRANTS AND TRAINING 85
