- Additional Information on Eligibility
- The Governor of each State and Territory with an FY 2008 UASI jurisdiction is required to designate a State Administrative Agency (SAA) to apply for and administer the funds awarded under the TSGP. The SAA is the only entity eligible formally to apply for TSGP funds . DHS requires that the SAA be responsible for obligating TSGP funds to the appropriate individual transit agencies within 45 days after receipt of funds. Certain law enforcement agencies (identified in Table 4) that are principal providers of transit security to a Tier I system are eligible sub-recipients of the transit agencies. Funds may only be used to support transit-related security activities and not other departmental operations. Note: This provision applies exclusively to the New York City, Chicago, and San Francisco Police Departments, Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department, Orange County (CA) Sheriffs Office, Alameda County Sheriffs Office, and Contra Costa County (CA) Office of the Sheriff, which support, respectively, Tier I regional transit agencies in the New York City, Chicago, Bay Area, and Greater Los Angeles Urban Areas. Certain ferry systems, listed in Table 4 of the guidance, are eligible to participate in the FY 2008 TSGP, and receive funds under the Tier I cooperative agreement process. However, any ferry system electing to participate and receive funds under the FY 2008 TSGP cannot participate in the FY 2008 Port Security Grant Program (PSGP), and will not be considered for funding under the FY 2008 PSGP. Likewise, any ferry system that participates in PSGP cannot be considered for funding under TSGP.
