PART VIII. <br />OTHER INFORMATION <br />IECGP Overview <br />The IECGP Investment Justification must provide a detailed description of the proposed <br />use of the FY 2010 IECGP funds, including the intended planning, training, and exercise <br />initiatives for improving interoperable emergency communications. The State or <br />territory may propose activities at a local level, as well as activities that have statewide <br />application. When proposing FY 2010 IECGP projects, the SAA must consider the <br />following key factors: <br />• Alignment with the SCIP. Grantees must demonstrate alignment between <br />proposed IECGP projects and the SCIPs (specifically, goals, objectives, and <br />specific initiatives to address interoperable emergency communications gaps). <br />IECGP Funding Objectives and Priority Groups one and two. Grantees must <br />prioritize and select projects consistent with IECGP funding objectives: <br />1) Priority Group One, Gaps in Governance and Common Planning and <br />Operational Protocols; and 2) Priority Group Two, Emergency Responder Skills <br />and Capabilities. For State- or territory-level projects, Priority Group One <br />objectives must be prioritized over Priority Group Two objectives. Local or tribal <br />pass-through recipient projects can be selected from either Priority Group. <br />Equipment purchase. If an SAA and SWIC/SCIP POC certifies that its State, <br />territory, and/or pass-through recipients have fulfilled all of the objectives of <br />Priority Groups one and two, the State, territory, and/or pass-through recipients <br />have the flexibility to use any remaining IECGP funds for purchase of <br />interoperable emergency communications equipment or other costs associated <br />with maintaining existing interoperable emergency communications equipment. <br />• Grant program requirements. Grantees must meet the minimum 80 percent <br />pass-through to local or tribal government entities. <br />Note: SAAs must coordinate with the SWIC/SCIP POC to ensure IECGP program <br />requirements are met. The SWIC/SCIP POC must coordinate with the SIGB and the <br />appropriate SCIP stakeholders and committees at the State, regional, local, and <br />tribal levels of government to ensure support for the projects selected. <br />43 <br />55A-49
