Additional Information on Eligibility: The recently passed SAFE Port Act states that all entities covered by an AMSP may submit an application for consideration of funding. However, Congress has also specifically directed DHS to apply these funds to the highest risk ports. In support of this, the PSGP includes a total of 102 specifically identified critical ports, representing approximately 95 percent of the foreign waterborne commerce of the United States. Based upon Coast Guard recommendations, these ports are aggregated into 72 discreet port funding areas. As described below, all other ports covered by an AMSP (Tier IV ports) are eligible to apply for grants from a PSGP funding pool created for that purpose. In addition, another IPP grant program will fund security measures for certain identified ferry systems. Within the PSGP, the following entities are specifically encouraged to apply: .Owners or operators of federally regulated terminals, facilities, U.S. inspected passenger vessels or ferries as defined in the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) 33 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 101, 104, 105, and 106. .Port authorities or other State and local agencies that provide layered security protection to federally regulated facilities in accordance with an AMSP or a facility or vessel security plan .Consortia composed of local stakeholder groups (e.g., river groups, ports and terminal associations) representing federally regulated ports, terminals, U.S. inspected passenger vessels or ferries that provide layered security protection to federally regulated facilities in accordance with an AMSP or a facility or vessel security plan Please see full Program Guidance and Application Kit for further information and a table of critical port areas.
