Fiscal Year 2011 Drivers License Security Grant Program (DLSGP) Region 4 | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Fiscal Year 2011 Drivers License Security Grant Program (DLSGP) Region 4 is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) grant administered through FEMA that focuses on strengthening the security of state-issued drivers licenses and identification cards. The central goal is to help states prevent terrorism, reduce identity and document fraud, and improve the overall reliability and accuracy of the personal identification documents they issue. This program directly supports a major 9/11 Commission recommendation: improving the integrity and security of drivers licenses and IDs so that they can be trusted for official purposes. A key theme in the program description is improving how states verify an applicant's identity before issuing a credential, and encouraging states to collaborate with one another to build stronger, more secure identity verification and issuance systems.

This opportunity was published under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 GPD 089 004 01 and is categorized as a mandatory grant within the homeland security preparedness area (listed under "Other" with the explanation "Homeland Security Preparedness"). The CFDA number associated with the program is 97.089, titled Drivers License Security Grant Program. FEMA anticipated making 7 awards under this Region 4 announcement. The estimated total funding amount listed is $44,910,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning eligible applicants are not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving funds. The award ceiling and award floor are both shown as 0, which typically indicates applicants must refer to the program guidance for any practical limits, funding formulas, or allocation details rather than relying on fixed minimums or maximums presented in the summary fields.

Eligible applicants are state-level entities responsible for drivers license issuance. This includes State Driver License Agencies (SDLAs), commonly known as state Departments of Motor Vehicles (DMVs) or Motor Vehicle Administrations (MVAs). In addition, a state public safety agency or department that has overall responsibility for driver license issuance may apply, including applying on behalf of the state DMV/MVA. In practice, this means the program is designed for state governments and the specific state agencies that control issuance policies, credential production, and identity verification processes.

The timeline for this funding opportunity shows it was posted on May 19, 2011, with the application closing date set for June 20, 2011 (both the original and current closing dates are the same). The archive date is July 20, 2011, indicating when the opportunity was expected to be formally archived in the listing systems. Applicants were instructed to closely follow the submission requirements contained in the Fiscal Year 2011 Drivers License Security Grant Program Guidance and Application Kit, which is where the detailed instructions, allowable cost information, required forms, and the required structure of the application would be laid out.
