Operational Packages (OPacks) (SHSP and UASI) Applicants may elect to pursue operational package (OPack) funding, such as Canine Teams, Mobile Explosive Screening Teams, and Anti -Terrorism Teams, for new capabilities as well as to sustain existing OPacks. Applicants must commit to minimum training standards to be set by the Department for all Federally -funded security positions. Applicants must also ensure that the capabilities are able to be deployable, through EMAC, outside of their community to support regional and national efforts. When requesting new OPacks-related projects, applicants must demonstrate the need for developing a new capability at the expense of sustaining existing core capability. Western Hemispheric Travel Initiative (SHSP) In addition to the expenditures outlined above, SHSP funds may be used to support the implementation activities associated with the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), including the issuance of WHTI-compliant Tribal identification cards. More information on the WHTI maybe found at http.•//www.dhs. oovv/fles/pro rg ams/2c 1200693579776.shtm or http.•//www.,tzetvouhome.gov/html/ene map html. Other Secure Identification Initiatives (SHSP) SHSP funds may also be used to support the Department's additional efforts to enhance secure identification, including driver's license and identification security enhancements. Activities that facilitate secure identification, including IT enhancements for identification management and verification systems are a priority. DHS/FEMA is currently developing and implementing a number of screening programs in which secure identification credentials figure prominently. These include the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program which promotes tamper-resistant biometric credentials for workers who require unescorted access to secure areas of ports, vessels, outer continental shelf facilities, and all credentialed merchant mariners; and the credentialing of first responders which entails enhancing real-time electronic authentication of identity and attribute(s) (qualification, certification, authorization, and/or privilege) of emergency response/critical government personnel responding to terrorist attacks or other catastrophic events. States may continue implementing activities previously funded through the Driver's License Security Grant Program (DLSGP) that focus on securing driver's license and identification card issuance processes. Initiatives related to securing identification should: • Have the greatest impact upon reducing the issuance and use of fraudulent driver's license and identification cards; • Reduce the cost of program implementation for individuals, states, and the Federal government; • Driver's license identification material requirements; • Expedite state progress toward meeting minimum security standards; and • Plan and expedite state -specific activities to support Federal data and document verification requirements and standards. 57 Appendix C—FY2015 HSGP Funding Guidelines
