<br /> G. Overtime and Backfill Guidance
<br /> Personnel(SHSP and UASI)—Personnel hiring,overtime,and backfill expenses are permitted under this grant in order to
<br /> perform allowable FY 2013 HSGP planning,training,exercise,and equipment activities. A personnel cost cap of up to 50
<br /> percent(50%)of the total SHSP and UASI program funds may be used for personnel and personnel-related activities as
<br /> directed by the Personnel Reimbursement for Intelligence Cooperation and Enhancement(PRICE)of Homeland Security
<br /> Act(Public Law 110-412). Grantees who wish to seek a waiver from the personnel cost cap must provide documentation
<br /> explaining why the cap should be waived,waiver requests will be considered only under extreme circumstances. In
<br /> general,the use of SHSP and UASI funding to pay for staff and/or contractor regular time or overtime/backfill is
<br /> considered a personnel cost.
<br /> For further details,please refer to Information Bulletin 358.
<br /> FY 2013 HSGP funds may not be used to support the hiring of any personnel for the purposes of fulfilling traditional
<br /> public health and safety duties or to supplant traditional public health and safety positions and responsibilities.
<br /> Definitions for hiring,overtime,and backfill-related overtime,and supplanting remain unchanged from FY 2011 HSGP.
<br /> H. National Incident Management System(NIMS)Compliance
<br /> HSPD-5,"Management of Domestic Incidents,"mandated the creation of NIMS and the National Response Plan(NRP).
<br /> NIMS provides a consistent framework for entities at all jurisdictional levels to work together to manage domestic
<br /> incidents,regardless of cause,size,or complexity.To promote interoperability and compatibility among Federal,State,
<br /> local,and tribal capabilities,NIMS includes a core set of guidelines,standards,and protocols for command and
<br /> management,preparedness,resource management,communications and information management,supporting
<br /> technologies,and management and maintenance of NIMS.The NRP,using the template established by NIMS,is an all-
<br /> discipline,all-hazards plan that provides the structure and mechanisms to coordinate operations for evolving or potential
<br /> Incidents of National Significance,which are major events that"require a coordinated and effective response by an
<br /> appropriate combination of Federal,State,local,tribal,private sector,and nongovernmental entities."
<br /> The NIMS Integration Center(NIC)recommends 38 NIMS Compliance Objectives for nongovernmental organizations
<br /> that support NIMS implementation.These activities closely parallel the implementation activities that have been required
<br /> of State,territorial,tribal,and local governments since 2004 and can be found at
<br /> www.fema.p-ov/i)df/emervency/niins/ngo fs.pdf.To integrate nonprofit organizations into the broader national
<br /> preparedness effort,DHS encourages grantees to consider pursuing these recommended activities.
<br /> Additionally,nongovernmental organizations grantees and sub-grantees will be required to meet certain NIMS compliance
<br /> requirements.This includes all emergency preparedness,response,and/or security personnel in the organization
<br /> participating in the development,implementation,and/or operation of resources and/or activities awarded through this
<br /> grant must complete training programs consistent with the NIMS National Standard Curriculum Development Guide.
<br /> Minimum training includes IS-700 NIMS:An Introduction.In addition,IS-800.a NRP:An Introduction,Incident
<br /> Command System(ICS-100),Incident Command System(ICS-200),Intermediate Incident Command System(G-300),and
<br /> Advanced Incident Command System(G-400)are also recommended.For additional guidance on NIMS training,please
<br /> refer to http//www fema gov/emergency/nims/nims training.shtm.
<br /> Additional information about NIMS implementation and resources for achieving compliance are available through the
<br /> NIMS Integration Center(NIC),at http�//www.fema.gov/emergency/nims/.
