Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 National Special Security Event (NSSE) Grant Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), administered by FEMA, designed to provide supplemental federal funding to reimburse state and local governments for certain actual costs tied directly to emergency management, public safety, and security activities required to prepare for and conduct an event designated as an NSSE. In practical terms, the program exists to help cover eligible, real-world expenses that states and localities incur when they support major, high-profile events that demand elevated security and coordinated public safety operations beyond normal levels.
An event becomes an NSSE when the Secretary of DHS designates it as such due to its national significance. The designation is based on factors that can include expected attendance by senior U.S. officials and foreign dignitaries, the overall size and complexity of the event, and the broader significance of the occasion. Once an event is designated an NSSE, the United States Secret Service (USSS) is, by statute (18 U.S.C. section 3056), the lead federal agency responsible for planning, coordinating, and implementing security operations for the event. FEMA developed this FY 2013 NSSE Grant Program in coordination with the USSS, reflecting the reality that large security operations require close alignment between federal lead security planning and the state and local agencies that provide substantial on-the-ground staffing and support.
The opportunity is categorized under Homeland Security Preparedness Grant activities and is listed under CFDA 97.126 (National Special Security Event). The funding instrument type is a grant, and the opportunity category is discretionary. The stated purpose emphasizes reimbursement, meaning the funding is intended to offset qualifying costs actually incurred by jurisdictions in the course of NSSE preparation and operations, rather than serving as a general-purpose preparedness fund. The announcement notes there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means eligible applicants are not required to contribute a specified percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility for this program is limited to state governments, reflecting how NSSE-related funding is typically routed through state-level entities that coordinate with local governments and relevant public safety partners. The posting date for the opportunity was May 21, 2013. The original closing date was June 30, 2013, and a later current closing date is shown as August 20, 2014, with an archive date of September 20, 2014. The listing indicates an expected number of awards of 1, suggesting that the funding may have been structured around a specific NSSE or a single primary applicant jurisdiction for that cycle. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as 0 in the record, which usually indicates the specific dollar amounts were not provided in the summary metadata and would need to be confirmed in the full announcement materials.
For additional details, applicants were directed to consult the full announcement via Grants.gov, and technical assistance for accessing the announcement electronically was available through FEMA’s Systems and Business Support Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
