MATERIALS Resolution No. 2001-RO324 Office of Justice Programs Office for State and Local Domestic Preparedness Support Equipment Grant Program The Office for State and Local Domestic Preparedness Support (OSLDPS) is the program office within the Department of Justice (DOJ) responsible for enhancing the capacity of state and local jurisdictions to respond to, and mitigate the consequences of, incidents of domestic. terrorism. Initiated in 1998, OSLDPS' Equipment Grant Program currently provides funds to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the five U.S. territories, to enable the purchase of the specialized equipment required to better respond to WMD incidents.. This fact sheet provides information on each grant cycle since 1998, describes the selection methodology and types of equipment authorized for purchase, and summarizes the overall funding provided to the nation's first responders since the program's inception. 0 FMC FY 1998 State and Local Domestic Preparedness Equipment Support Program OSLDPS provided initial funding through a competitive award process to 41 eligible county and local jurisdictions in Fiscal Year 1998. The total funding provided through this award cycle was $12 million. FY 1999 County and Municipal Agency Domestic Preparedness Equipment Support Program Building on.the 1998 program, OSLDPS provided direct grants to 157 of the nation's most populated cities and counties in Fiscal Year 1999. The total funding provided through this award cycle was $31.7 million. O FY 1999 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program Also initiated in 1999, the Fiscal Year 1999 state program represents the first year of a three-year program to provide grants to all 50 states for the acquisition of equipment, as well as for the development of a needs assessment and three-year statewide domestic preparedness strategy. Awards were determined by a base amount of $250,000 for equipment and $75,000 for planning to each state, with the balance of funds being distributed on a population -share basis. Total funding provided through this award cycle was $53.8 million. O FY 2000 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program The Fiscal Year 2000 program is the second year of the three year program for the states. Funding is being provided for equipment acquisitions only. The Fiscal Year 2000 program is also the first year of a two-year funding cycle for the District of Columbia and the five U.S. territories. Total funding being provided in this award cycle is $72.5 million. O FY 2001 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program The Fiscal Year 2001 state program is the final year of funding under the current state grant program for the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the five U.S. Territories. Total funding being provided through this award cycle is $78.4 million. O FY 2001 Nunn-Lugar-Domenici Domestic Preparedness Program • OSLDPS assumed management of the Nunn-Lugar-Domenici (NLD) Domestic Preparedness Program from the Department of Defense (DoD) on 10/l/00. • Of the original 120 cities selected for participation by DoD, 52 have not received all or part of the equipment, training and exercise support associated with the program. • As part of its stewardship of the NLD program, OSLDPS will provide the remaining 52 cities with a one-time grant of $280,000 for the acquisition of training equipment related to WMD domestic preparedness. • Total funding being provided through this award cycle is $14.6 million. O Equipment Funded The authorized equipment purchase lists for the OSLDPS grants described in the preceding sections were derived from the Standardized Equipment List (SEL). The SEL was developed by the Interagency Board (IAB) for Equipment Standardization and Interoperability. The IAB compiled the SEL on behalf of the National Domestic Preparedness Office (NDPO) to delineate the types of equipment necessary for terrorist incident response. Because the SEL also contains lists of general use and support equipment, a more narrow list was derived from the SEL to identify the specific types of specialized equipment authorized for purchase under the OSLDPS Equipment Grant Program. For OSLDPS state, county and municipal grantees, this specialized equipment falls into four distinct categories: 1) personal protective equipment (PPE); 2) chemical, biological, or radiological detection equipment; 3) decontamination equipment; and, 4) communications equipment. For NLD grantees, the equipment purchased must be for training purposes and be limited to: 1) personal protective equipment (PPE); 2) chemical, biological, or radiglogical detection equipment; and, 3) decontamination equipment. A cross-section of officials representing the Public. Health Service (PHS), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S. Department of Justice (OJP and FBI), and State and local hazardous materials experts assisted in the development of this authorized equipment purchase list and in identifying unallowable items. O Funding Summary The following table summarizes funding amounts provided by OSLDPS to state and local first responder agencies from the inception of the program in 1998 to the present.
