Foreword In July 2002 the President approved the National Strategy for Homeland Security, establishing a road map for the national effort to prevent and respond to acts of terrorism in the United States. The National Strategy recognizes the vital role of state and local public safety agencies in providing for the security of our homeland. In February 2003 the President signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Resolution, 2003, Public Law 108-7 which provides state and local governments with the vital funding they require to participate in the national effort to combat terrorism. In April 2003 the Emergency Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2003 provided additional funds to expand and continue these efforts. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office for Domestic Preparedness (ODP) FY 2003 Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) reflects the intent of Congress and the Administration to enhance and quantify the preparedness of the nation to combat terrorism. Whereas most states and municipalities have strengthened their overall capability to respond to acts of terrorism involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or explosive (CBRNE) weapons, there continues to be room for improvement in meeting our national priorities of preventing and responding to terrorist attacks. The Office for Domestic Preparedness is providing financial assistance to selected urban areas, port authorities, and transit systems through the FY 2003 Urban Areas Security Initiative. Seven selected urban areas will be provided direct funding from the Consolidated Appropriations Resolution, 2003, and thirty selected urban areas will be provided funding through their respective States from the Emergency Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2003. The UASI Grant Programs I and II are being provided to address the unique equipment, training, planning, and exercise needs of large high threat urban areas, and program activities must involve coordination by the identified core city, core county/counties, and the respective State Administrative Agency. The funding will provide assistance to build an enhanced and sustainable capacity to prevent, respond to, and recover from threats or acts of terrorism for the selected urban areas. The funding identified for ports and transit systems will allow selected agencies to enhance security at these critical infrastructure sites. The Department of Homeland Security looks forward to working with all of you in this critical national effort to secure our homeland. Tom Ridge Secretary Department of Homeland Security Contents I.

Backgroun Initial funding for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2003 Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) Program was authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Resolution, 2003 and was made available by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through the Office for Domestic Preparedness (ODP), directly to seven selected urban areas through the FY 2003 UASI Grant Program I application. The Emergency Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2003 provided follow-on funding for the UASI Program. The FY 2003 UASI Grant Program II provided financial assistance to States for subsequent distribution to 30 selected urban areas, including the original seven urban areas funded under UASI I. This financial assistance has been provided to address the unique equipment, training, planning, exercise and operational needs of large urban areas, and to assist them in building an enhanced and sustainable capacity to prevent, respond to, and recover from threats or acts of terrorism. Urban areas selected for funding must take a regional metropolitan area approach to the development and implementation of the UASI Grant Program and involve core cities, core counties, contiguous jurisdictions, mutual aid partners, and State agencies. The Supplemental Appropriations Act also allowed the Secretary of Homeland Security to provide funding for protection of critical infrastructure. Fourteen port authorities have subsequently been identified to receive funding through the UASI Port Security Grant Program. Although administered by the ODP, the UASI Port Security Grant Program has been coordinated with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which originally received, reviewed, and ranked the project proposals identified for funding under this initiative. The Office for Domestic Preparedness transferred from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs (OJP), to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security effective March 1, 2003. The OJP Office of the Comptroller (OC) will continue to provide fiscal support and oversight to the UASI Grant Program for the effective period of performance for the grant. II. The Fiscal Year 2003 Urban Areas Security Initiative Port Security Grant Program A. Authorized Program Purpose Funding for the FY 2003 UASI Port Security Grant Program is authorized by Public Law 108–11, the Emergency Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2003, and augments efforts begun with the FY 2003 UASI Program to address the unique needs of large urban areas.
