Finding the Way
What is communications
interoperability?

In general, interoperability refers to the ability of emergency
responders to work seamlessly with other systems or products
without any special effort. Wireless communications
interoperability specifically refers to the ability of emergency
response officials to share information via voice and data
signals on demand, in real time, when needed, and as
authorized. For example, when communications systems are
interoperable, police and firefighters responding to a routine
incident can talk to each other to coordinate
efforts. Communications interoperability also makes it possible
for emergency response agencies responding to catastrophic
accidents or disasters to work effectively together. Finally, it
allows emergency response personnel to maximize resources in
planning for major predictable events such as the Super Bowl or
an inauguration, or for disaster relief and recovery efforts.
Definition

Interoperability is the ability of public safety
service and support providers to communicate
with each other via voice and/or data:

On demand

In real time

When needed

When authorized
More than one way to get there!!!

PSIC Background
•
The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 provided the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA)
the authority to establish a $1 billion grant program for
public safety interoperability communications
•
The funds are borrowed from the anticipated auction
proceeds of the 700 MHz spectrum
•
The Call Home Act of 2006 requires all funding to be
awarded by September 30, 2007
•
Through an MOU, NTIA partnered with DHS (NPD)
•
–
DHS will provide grants-related administrative services and expertise
–
NTIA retains approval authority
Total of $958.9 million in funding is available for grant
awards. 25,311,354 for Georgia

Key Features of PSIC Grant Program
•
Awardees: Funding will be awarded through the 56 State and Territory
Administrative Agencies (SAA)
•
Period of Performance: PSIC grants will be awarded no later than September
30, 2007 and period of performance will end on September 30, 2010
•
Statewide Planning: Up to 5 percent of the total funds allocated to a State or
territory will be available at the time of the award to support the completion of the
Statewide Communications Interoperability Plans (Statewide Plan)
•
Technical Assistance: DHS technical assistance will support grantees with
planning and implementation of PSIC awards
•
Technical Review: Remaining funds (95 percent) will be contingent upon
submission, technical review, and approval of a Statewide Plan
and Investment Justifications
•
Use of Funds: Funding can be used for “acquisition of, deployment of, or
training on” interoperable communications systems that use or enable use with
the 700 MHz frequency band
•
Match: PSIC includes a statutory requirement of not-less-than 20 percent match
23
PSIC Goals and Objectives
The program will not dictate a technology or an approach
for interoperability solutions. However, we are
considering two goals and five objectives for the PSIC
Grant Program
Goals
– Achieve meaningful and measurable improvements in the state of
interoperability for public safety communications; and
– Fill interoperability gaps identified in the Statewide Plans
Objectives
Technological
• Adopt advanced technological solutions
• Improve spectrum efficiency
• Use cost-effective measures
Geographical
• Improve communications in areas at risk for natural disasters
• Continue to improve interoperability efforts in urban and
metropolitan areas
24
Eligible Applicants Section
• The PSIC grants will be awarded to the 56
States and Territories
• The Governor of each State has designated a
State Administrative Agency (SAA) to apply for
and administer the funds under the PSIC Grant
Program
• The SAA is the only agency eligible to apply for
PSIC funds. The SAA is responsible for
obligating PSIC funds to eligible pass-through
public safety agencies
25
Pass-Through Requirements Section
• Each State will make no less than 80 percent of the total
award amount available as a pass-through to local
government, tribal government entities, or
nongovernmental public safety agencies
• District of Columbia, Guam, American Samoa, U.S. Virgin
Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Island have no pass-through requirements
• Puerto Rico has a 50 percent pass-through requirement
• However, each State and Territory may retain some or all
of the pass-through for expenditures made by the State
on behalf of the pass-through local entities through a
formal Memorandum of Understanding with local entities
that specifies the amount and intended use of the funds
26
Match Requirements Section
• The public safety agency receiving the PSIC
project funds is required to meet and
document the 20 percent match requirement
• The SAA is required to track and report the 20
percent match requirements for PSIC funds
• The documentation must demonstrate that
matching funds are from non-federal sources
• The only exception to this previous statement
is that funds used for training activities do not
require a 20 percent match
27
Statewide Plans and PSIC
• FY 2007 HSGP requires States to develop and adopt a
Statewide Plan
• Proposed PSIC projects to receive funds should align
with the goals and gaps identified in the Statewide Plan
• Statewide Plans must incorporate the three PSIC
criteria:
– Description of how public safety agencies operate on or
interoperate with the 700 MHz frequency band, via voice, data,
and/or video signals;
– Description of how local and tribal government entities’
interoperable communications needs have been included in the
planning process and how their needs are being addressed, if
applicable; and
– Description of how nongovernmental organizations’ interoperable
communications needs have been included in the planning
process and how their needs are being addressed, if applicable
• This preliminary criteria was released to State teams at
the Statewide Planning Workshop sponsored by the
National Governors Associations (NGA) and DHS on
March 21, 2007
28
Investment Justification Overview
• All States and Territories will be required to
develop Investment Justifications to request
FY 2007 PSIC funding
• The Investment Justification provides a
template for applicants to outline the proposed
initiatives for the FY 2007 PSIC funding
• There will be a limit on the number of
Investment Justifications that the States and
Territories will be allowed to submit
29
PSIC Investment Justification
The Investment Justification Template may ask for the following
project information/metrics:
IJ COMPONENT
REVIEW CRITERIA
