Additional Information on Eligibility
46 U.S.C. §70107 states that all entities covered by an AMSP may submit an application for consideration of funding. A facility that is not expressly identified in an AMSP will be considered covered under an AMSP if the facility in question has had a risk analysis completed by the USCG utilizing the MSRAM tool. Congress has specifically directed DHS to apply these funds to the highest risk ports. In support of this, the PSGP includes a total of 147 specifically identified critical ports, representing approximately 95 percent of the foreign waterborne commerce of the United States. Based upon USCG recommendations, these ports are aggregated into 91 discreet port funding areas. As described below, "All Other Port Areas" covered by an AMSP are eligible to apply for grant funds from a PSGP funding pool created for that purpose. 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) and Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 101, 104, 105, and 106 - Port authorities or other State and local agencies that are required to provide security services to eligible Ferry System applicants (MTSA regulated facilities) pursuant to an AMSP or a Facility or Vessel Security Plan - Consortia composed of local river organizations, ports and terminal associations, and other local stakeholder groups representing federally regulated ports, terminals, U.S. inspected passenger vessels or ferries that are required to provide security services to federally regulated facilities in accordance with an AMSP or a Facility or Vessel Security Plan - Group I and II Fiduciary Agents (including newly identified Group II port areas who choose to begin the FA process) - Ferry Systems identified in Table 3 Eligible applicants under the FY2009 PSGP include Group I and Group II Fiduciary Agents (FA), ports within Group III or All Other Port Areas, and the pre-designated ferry systems. Tables 2 and 3 in the FY 2009 PSGP Guidance and Application Kit list the specific port areas and ferry systems, by Group, that are eligible for funding through the FY 2009 PSGP. For Group I and Group II port areas continuing in the FA process or beginning the FA process, the FY 2009 PSGP will only accept applications from the FA for that port area. All individual entities (including ferry systems) within one of these port areas will apply for PSGP funds through their port area's designated FA. "All Other Port Areas" within Group I, II or III are allowed to receive grant funds from their geographically proximate higher Group if the project has regional impact across the entire port area, but not from both funding groups for the same project. Eligible ferry systems identified in the FY 2009 Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP) Guidance that elect to participate and receive funds under the FY 2009 TSGP cannot participate in the FY 2009 PSGP, and will not be considered for funding under the FY 2009 PSGP.
