FY 2012 PSGP Priorities Enhancing Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) Port areas should seek to enhance MDA through projects that address knowledge capabilities within the maritime domain Projects should reflect a regionalized approach and coordinated effort among public and private sector organizations MDA efforts could include access control/standardized credentialing, communications, enhanced intelligence sharing and analysis, construction and/or enhancement of Interagency Operations Centers, etc. Enhancing Improvised Explosive Device (IED) and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive (CBRNE) prevention, protection, response, and recovery capabilities Port areas should continue to enhance their capabilities to prevent, detect, respond to, and recover from attacks employing IEDs, CBRNE devices, and other nonconventional weapons IEDs delivered via small craft, underwater swimmers, or on ferries are of particular concern 21
22
FY 2012 PSGP Priorities Port Resilience and Recovery Capabilities Ensuring resilience to disasters is one of the core DHS missions PSGP funds are intended to enable continuity of operations and/or rapid recovery of the port in the event of a disaster Ports that have not already done so are encouraged to develop a Business Continuity/Resumption of Trade Plan Training and Exercises Exercises must follow the Area Maritime Security Training Exercise Program (AMSTEP) or the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Intermodal Security Training Exercise Program (I-STEP) guidelines Equipment Associated with Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) Implementation Infrastructure and installation projects that support TWIC implementation will be given a higher 22
23
PSGP Partners FEMA designs and operates the administrative mechanisms to implement and manage the PSGP.

24
PSGP Review Process PSGP has competitive and non-competitive, as well as local and Federal components to its three review processes 1.Initial Review: FEMA conducts an initial review of all PSGP applications for completion. Applications passing this review are grouped by port area and provided to the applicable Captain of the Port (COTP) for further review 2.Field Review: Field-level reviews are managed by the COTP in coordination with Maritime Administration (MARAD) and Area Maritime Security Committees (AMSC). Field Reviewers may be Federal, State, and local personnel who advise the COTP as local area subject matter experts; they complete Field Review Forms for each project with scores, prioritization, and supporting comments/justification 3.National Review: The National Review Panel (NRP) convenes to review each project and develop a final list of recommend funding. The NRP consists of Federal representatives from FEMA, USCG, MARAD, Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO), and Buffer Zone Protection Program (BZPP). A risk- based algorithm is applied to the NRP’s validated, prioritized list for each port area in all groups 24
25

Top Transit Asset List (TTAL) was developed and projects on the list have been funded FY 2012 To be consistent SHSP, UASI, and PSGP methodologies, TSGP risk formula adds a new vulnerability component. This was formulated in conjunction with TSA’s analysis of vulnerable transit areas. For all FY 2012 awards the period of performance is 24 months
