and must be made available to the recipient's respective Headquarters Program Analyst upon request. In addition to these training requirements, fusion centers should also continue to mature their analytic capabilities by addressing gaps in analytic capability identified during the fusion center's annual assessment. • Overtime costs. Overtime costs are allowable for personnel to participate in information, investigative, and intelligence sharing activities specifically related to homeland security and specifically requested by a Federal agency. Allowable costs are limited to overtime associated with Federally requested participation in eligible fusion activities, including anti- terrorism task forces, Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs), Area Maritime Security Committees (as required by the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002), DHS Border Enforcement Security Task Forces, and Integrated Border Enforcement Teams. Grant funding can only be used in proportion to the Federal man-hour estimate, and only after funding for these activities from other Federal sources (i.e., FBI JTTF payments to state and local agencies) has been exhausted. Under no circumstances should DHS/FEMA grant funding be used to pay for costs already supported by funding from another Federal source. Operational overtime costs. In support of efforts to enhance capabilities for detecting, deterring, disrupting, and preventing acts of terrorism and other catastrophic events, operational overtime costs are allowable for increased security measures at critical infrastructure sites. SHSP or UASI funds for organizational costs may be used to support select operational expenses associated with increased security measures at critical infrastructure sites in the following authorized categories: - Backfill and overtime expenses for staffing state or Major Urban Area fusion centers; - Hiring of contracted security for critical infrastructure sites; - Participation in Regional Resiliency Assessment Program activities; - Public safety overtime; - Title 32 or state Active Duty National Guard deployments to protect critical infrastructure sites, including all resources that are part of the standard National Guard deployment package (Note: Consumable costs, such as fuel expenses, are not allowed except as part of the standard National Guard deployment package); and - Increased border security activities in coordination with CBP SHSP or UASI funds may only be spent for operational overtime costs upon prior approval provided in writing by the FEMA Administrator per the instructions in IB 379. Note: States with UASI jurisdictions can use funds retained at the state level to reimburse eligible operational overtime expenses incurred by the state (per the above guidance limitations and up to a maximum of 50 percent (50%) of the state share of the UASI grant). Any UASI funds retained by the state must be used in direct support of the Urban Area. States must provide documentation to the UAWG and DHS/FEMA upon request demonstrating how any UASI funds retained by the state would directly support the Urban Area. 52 Appendix C—FY2015 HSGP Funding Guidelines
