Authority
This action is authorized under the Omnibus Consolidated and
Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1999 (Pub. L. 105-277,
October 21, 1998, 112 Stat. 2681).
Background
The Office for State and Local Domestic Preparedness Support will
distribute FY 1999 funding to provide the maximum number of communities
with a basic defensive capability to respond to domestic terrorism
incidents. This program ensures that first responders are properly
equipped and prepared to respond to incidents of domestic terrorism
involving chemical and biological agents, as well as radiological and
explosive devices. This program will provide grants to the 157 largest
cities and localities, to procure personal protective, chemical,
biological and radiological detection and communications equipment in
accordance with the FY 1999 Authorized Equipment Purchase List.
Application Kits
Application kits will be mailed to the Chief Executive Officers in
each of the targeted jurisdictions. Interested eligible applicants are
encouraged to contact the National Criminal Justice Reference Service
(NCJRS) at 1-800-851-3420 to ensure that they receive an application
kit for the FY 1999 County and Municipal Agency Domestic Preparedness
Equipment Support Program.
Eligible Applicants
Eligible applicants are the chief executive officers (CEOs) in the
nation's 157 largest metropolitan jurisdictions, listed in the
following table. However, if the county or municipal government is not
responsible for the fire services, emergency medical services,
hazardous materials response units, and/or law enforcement agencies in
its jurisdiction, then the appropriate State or local agency that
provides that service must be consulted in the development of the
application. All eligible applicants are grouped by a population index
based on 1992 census data.
Certain county jurisdictions may not provide any qualifying
services or have authority to apply for this program. In those
instances, an appropriate State or municipal-level agency must apply on
behalf of the jurisdictions within the county. If your county falls
into this category, please contact OJP at 202-305-9887 for guidance in
meeting the application requirements.
