                                SECURITY

 

PART 152_ASSISTANCE TO FIREFIGHTERS GRANT PROGRAM--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  152.3  Availability of funds.



    (a) Fire departments that have received funding under the Assistance 

to Firefighter Grant Program in previous years are eligible to apply for 

funding in the current year. However, due to our responsibilities under 

this program to assure adequate distribution of awards amongst certain 

types of departments (career, combination and volunteer) and certain 

types of communities (urban, suburban or rural) as well as an equitable 

geographic distribution, we reserve the right to fund or not to fund 

previous recipients of grants under this program in order for us to 

fulfill these responsibilities.

    (b) No applicant can receive more than $750,000 in Federal grant 

funds under this program in any fiscal year.

    (c) No applicant can submit more than one application per fiscal 

year. Applicants that submit multiple applications will have each of 

their applications deemed ineligible.

    (d) The scoring of the applications will determine the distribution 

of the funding across the eligible programs. Notwithstanding anything in 

this part, no more than twenty-five (25) percent of the funds 

appropriated for grants shall be used to assist grant recipients to 

purchase firefighting vehicles and not less than five (5) percent of the 

funds shall be used for fire prevention programs.

    (e) We will not provide assistance under this part for activities 

for which another Federal agency has more specific or primary authority 

to provide assistance for the same purpose. We may disallow or recoup 

amounts that fall within other Federal agency's authority.
