C. Allowable Equipment Related Costs Allowable equipment categories for the EMPG Program are listed on the web -based version of the Authorized Equipment List (AEL) at https://www.fema.gov/authorized-equipment-list. Unless otherwise stated, equipment must meet all mandatory regulatory and/or FEMA -adopted standards to be eligible for purchase using these funds. In addition, agencies will be responsible for obtaining and maintaining all necessary certifications and licenses for the requested equipment. Allowable equipment includes equipment from the following AEL categories: • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (Category 1) • Information Technology (Category 4) • Cybersecurity Enhancement Equipment (Category 5) • Interoperable Communications Equipment (Category 6) • Detection Equipment (Category 7) • Power Equipment (Category 10) • Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) Reference Materials(Category 11) • CBRNE Incident Response Vehicles (Category 12) • Physical Security Enhancement Equipment (Category 14) • CBRNE Logistical Support Equipment (Category 19) • Other Authorized Equipment (Category 21) In addition to the above, general-purpose vehicles can be procured in order to carry out the responsibilities of the EMPG Program. If Sub -Recipients have questions concerning the eligibility of equipment not specifically addressed in the AEL, they should contact their Grant Manager for clarification. Sub -Recipients should analyze the cost benefits of purchasing versus leasing equipment, especially high- cost items and those subject to rapid technical advances. Large equipment purchases must be identified and explained. For more information regarding property management standards for equipment, please reference 2 C.F.R. Part 200, including 2 C.F.R. §§ 200.310, 200.313, and 200.316. Requirements for the Purchase of Lights for Emergency Management Vehicles In accordance with 316.2397(3)(c), Florida Statutes, only authorized emergency vehicles may operate emergency lights and/or sirens in response to an emergency. Such vehicles may show or display amber lights when actively responding to an emergency, provided they are not used going to-and-fro from the scene of operation or hazard without specific authorization of a law enforcement officer or law enforcement agency. To utilize EMPG funding to purchase emergency lights, the agency must make a written request to the Executive Director, Division of Emergency Management, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), requesting the authority to purchase since this equipment currently has no Authorized Equipment List (AEL) number. This request should address the statute that authorizes equipment usage, purchase cost of the emergency light package, and must include installation costs and vehicle year/make/model. 44
