Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Interoperable Emergency Communications Grant Program (IECGP) is a Department of Homeland Security grant administered by FEMA's Grant Programs Directorate in coordination with DHS's Office of Emergency Communications. It was authorized by the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-53) to help states and territories strengthen interoperable emergency communications as part of broader homeland security preparedness. For FY 2010, Congress appropriated a total of $48,000,000 for the program under the Department of Homeland Security Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-83), with the intent of distributing funds across all eligible states and territories to support improvements that enable public safety agencies to communicate effectively during emergencies and major incidents.
This opportunity is a mandatory grant program with an expected 56 awards, corresponding to the 56 states and territories referenced in the announcement. The funding is listed under CFDA 97.055 (Interoperable Emergency Communications). The activity area is framed as homeland security preparedness, and the program includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients must meet an identified match obligation as a condition of award rather than relying entirely on federal dollars.
Eligibility is limited and specific. The only eligible applicant in each state or territory is the designated State Administrative Agency (SAA). The governor of each state or territory is required to designate an SAA to apply for and administer IECGP funding, and FEMA will only accept applications from that designated agency. In practice, this means local governments, individual public safety agencies, nonprofits, or other entities cannot apply directly to FEMA for IECGP funds; they would typically need to coordinate with their SAA if they are potential subrecipients or stakeholders under the state's broader interoperable communications efforts.
Key timing details from the posting show it was originally posted on December 8, 2009, with administrative records indicating a creation date of January 29, 2010. The original application closing date was February 12, 2010, and it was later extended to a current closing date of February 18, 2010. The opportunity was archived on March 20, 2010. The announcement repeatedly emphasizes that applicants should carefully review the FY 2010 IECGP Guidance and Application Kit for specific submission requirements, which is where applicants would find the detailed rules on allowable activities, match requirements, required investment justifications, forms, and any state-level planning or governance expectations tied to interoperable communications.
