Article I - Summary Description of Award
The purpose of the FY 2022 HSGP is to support state and local efforts to prevent terrorism and other
catastrophic events and to prepare the Nation for the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the
security of the United States. The HSGP provides funding to implement investments that build, sustain, and
deliver the 32 core capabilities essential to achieving the National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient
Nation. Among the five basic homeland security missions noted in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, HSGP supports the goal to Strengthen National Preparedness and
Resilience. The building, sustainment, and delivery of these core capabilities are not exclusive to any single level
of government, organization, or community, but rather, require the combined effort of the whole community. This
grant program funds a range of activities, including planning, organization, equipment purchase, training,
exercises, and management and administration across all core capabilities and mission areas.

also Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Memorandum M-22-11, Initial Implementation Guidance on
Application of Buy America Preference in Federal Financial Assistance Programs for Infrastructure.
Recipients and subrecipients of federal financial assistance programs for infrastructure are hereby notified that
none of the funds provided under this award may be used for a project for infrastructure unless:
(1) all iron and steel used in the project are produced in the United States--this means all manufacturing
processes, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, occurred in the United States;
(2) all manufactured products used in the project are produced in the United States--this means the
manufactured product was manufactured in the United States; and the cost of the components of the
manufactured product that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States is greater than 55
percent of the total cost of all components of the manufactured product, unless another standard for
determining the minimum amount of domestic content of the manufactured product has been established under
applicable law or regulation; and
(3) all construction materials are manufactured in the United States--this means that all manufacturing
processes for the construction material occurred in the United States.
The Buy America preference only applies to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in,
incorporated into, or affixed to an infrastructure project. As such, it does not apply to tools, equipment, and
supplies, such as temporary scaffolding, brought to the construction site and removed at or before the
completion of the infrastructure project. Nor does a Buy America preference apply to equipment and
furnishings, such as movable chairs, desks, and portable computer equipment, that are used at or within the
finished infrastructure project but are not an integral part of the structure or permanently affixed to the
DocuSign Envelope ID: F62304DB-33C6-4B7E-B08D-6159A67921D1
infrastructure project.
Waivers
When necessary, recipients may apply for, and the agency may grant, a waiver from these requirements.
(a) When the federal agency has made a determination that one of the following exceptions applies, the
awarding official may waive the application of the domestic content procurement preference in any case in
which the agency determines that:
(1) applying the domestic content procurement preference would be inconsistent with the public interest;
(2) the types of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials are not produced in the
United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities or of a satisfactory quality; or
(3) the inclusion of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials produced in the United
States will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent.
A request to waive the application of the domestic content procurement preference must be in writing. The
agency will provide instructions on the format, contents, and supporting materials required for any waiver
request. Waiver requests are subject to public comment periods of no less than 15 days and must be reviewed
by the OMB Made in America Office. There may be instances where an award qualifies, in whole or in part, for
an existing waiver described. For awards by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), existing
waivers are available, and the waiver process is described at "Buy America" Preference in FEMA Financial
Assistance Programs for Infrastructure | FEMA.gov. For awards by other DHS components, please contact the
applicable DHS FAO.
To see whether a particular DHS federal financial assistance program is considered an infrastructure program

FEMA awards, please see Programs and Definitions: Build America, Buy America Act | FEMA.gov.

the pass-through entity, if applicable, and DHS/FEMA.
Article XLIV - Applicability of DHS Standard Terms and Conditions to Tribes
The DHS Standard Terms and Conditions are a restatement of general requirements imposed upon recipients
and flow down to subrecipients as a matter of law, regulation, or executive order. If the requirement does not
apply to Indian tribes or there is a federal law or regulation exempting its application to Indian tribes, then the
acceptance by Tribes of, or acquiescence to, DHS Standard Terms and Conditions does not change or alter its
inapplicability to an Indian tribe. The execution of grant documents is not intended to change, alter, amend, or
impose additional liability or responsibility upon the Tribe where it does not already exist.
Article XLV - Acceptance of Post Award Changes
In the event FEMA determines that changes are necessary to the award document after an award has been
made, including changes to period of performance or terms and conditions, recipients will be notified of the
changes in writing. Once notification has been made, any subsequent request for funds will indicate recipient
acceptance of the changes to the award. Please call the FEMA/GMD Call Center at (866) 927-5646 or via e-mail
to ASK-GMD@fema.dhs.gov if you have any questions.
Article XLVI - Disposition of Equipment Acquired Under the Federal Award
For purposes of original or replacement equipment acquired under this award by a non-state recipient or non-
state subrecipients, when that equipment is no longer needed for the original project or program or for other
activities currently or previously supported by a federal awarding agency, you must request instructions from
FEMA to make proper disposition of the equipment pursuant to 2 C.F.R. section 200.313. State recipients and
state subrecipients must follow the disposition requirements in accordance with state laws and procedures.
Article XLVII - Prior Approval for Modification of Approved Budget
DocuSign Envelope ID: F62304DB-33C6-4B7E-B08D-6159A67921D1
Before making any change to the FEMA approved budget for this award, you must request prior written approval
from FEMA where required by 2 C.F.R. section 200.308.
For purposes of non-construction projects, FEMA is utilizing its discretion to impose an additional restriction
under 2 C.F.R. section 200.308(f) regarding the transfer of funds among direct cost categories, programs,
functions, or activities. Therefore, for awards with an approved budget where the federal share is greater than the
simplified acquisition threshold (currently $250,000), you may not transfer funds among direct cost categories,
programs, functions, or activities without prior written approval from FEMA where the cumulative amount of such
transfers exceeds or is expected to exceed ten percent (10%) of the total budget FEMA last approved.
For purposes of awards that support both construction and non-construction work, FEMA is utilizing its discretion
under 2 C.F.R. section 200.308(h)(5) to require the recipient to obtain prior written approval from FEMA before
making any fund or budget transfers between the two types of work.
You must report any deviations from your FEMA approved budget in the first Federal Financial Report (SF-425)
you submit following any budget deviation, regardless of whether the budget deviation requires prior written
approval.
Article XLVIII - Indirect Cost Rate
2 C.F.R. section 200.211(b)(15) requires the terms of the award to include the indirect cost rate for the federal
award. If applicable, the indirect cost rate for this award is stated in the budget documents or other materials
approved by FEMA and included in the award file.

cybersecurity professional should complete the assessment. The NCSR is available at no cost to the user
