Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2011 Drivers License Security Grant Program (DLSGP) for Region 9 is a mandatory Department of Homeland Security program administered through FEMA that provides grant funding to help states strengthen the security and trustworthiness of state-issued drivers licenses and identification cards. The core goal is to prevent terrorism, reduce identity and document fraud, and improve the reliability and accuracy of personal identity documents used for official purposes. The program directly supports a major recommendation associated with the 9/11 Commission, which emphasized the need to improve the integrity and security of drivers licenses and IDs because they are widely used as foundational identity credentials in both public and private settings. A central theme of the opportunity is encouraging states to work collectively and improve identity-proofing and verification systems before a license or ID is issued, so that jurisdictions are better able to confirm that an applicant is who they claim to be.
This grant opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 GPD 089 009 01 and is categorized as a Homeland Security preparedness activity. The funding instrument is a grant, and the program is cataloged under CFDA number 97.089 (Drivers License Security Grant Program). FEMA anticipated making up to 8 awards under this announcement. The estimated total funding available across the opportunity is $44,910,000. The announcement does not specify an award ceiling or award floor, indicating that individual award sizes are not bounded in the notice itself and that applicants needed to consult the official FY 2011 DLSGP Guidance and Application Kit for the details that typically govern budgets, allowable costs, project periods, and selection criteria.
Eligibility is limited to state-level entities responsible for drivers license issuance. The primary eligible applicants are State Drivers License Agencies (SDLAs), commonly known as state Departments of Motor Vehicles (DMVs) or Motor Vehicle Administrations (MVAs). The notice also allows other state public safety agencies or departments that have overall responsibility for drivers license issuance to apply, including situations where such an agency applies on behalf of the state DMV/MVA. The program does not require cost sharing or a matching contribution, which reduces the financial barrier for states seeking to modernize systems, adopt stronger issuance controls, or participate in multi-state efforts aimed at improving identity verification and document security.
Key dates in the posting show the opportunity was published on May 19, 2011, with the application due date (original and current closing date) set for June 20, 2011, and an archive date of July 20, 2011.
