Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of guidance.
AGENCY:
This Notice provides
guidelines that describe the application
process for grants and the criteria the
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) will use for awarding Fire
Prevention and Safety (FP&S) grants in
the Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Assistance to
Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program. It
explains the differences, if any, between
these guidelines and those
recommended by representatives of the
Nation’s fire service leadership during
the annual Criteria Development
meeting, which was held February 28—
March 3, 2017. The application period
for the FY 2017 FP&S Grant Program
year will be February 12, 2018—March
16, 2018, and will be announced on the
AFG website (www.fema.gov/firegrants),
www.grants.gov, and the U.S. Fire
Administration website
(www.usfa.fema.gov).

SUMMARY:
Grant applications for the FP&S
Grant Program will be accepted
electronically at https://portal.fema.gov,

Grants Branch, DHS/FEMA, 400 C Street

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Catherine Patterson, Chief, Assistance to
Firefighters Grants Branch, 1–866–274–
0960.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of the FP&S Program is to
reduce fire and fire-related injuries and
prevent deaths among the public and
firefighters by assisting fire prevention
programs and supporting firefighter
health and safety research and
development. The FEMA Grant
Programs Directorate administers the
FP&S Grant Program as part of the AFG
Program.
FP&S Grants are offered to support
projects in two activities:
1. Activities designed to reach highrisk target groups and mitigate the
incidence of death, injuries, and
property damage caused by fire and firerelated hazards (‘‘FP&S Activity’’).
2. Projects aimed at improving
firefighter safety, health, or wellness
through research and development that
reduces firefighter fatalities and injuries
(‘‘R&D Activity’’).
The grant program’s authorizing
statute requires that DHS publish in the
Federal Register each year the
guidelines that describe the application
process and the criteria for grant
awards. Approximately 1,000
applications for FP&S Grant Program
funding are anticipated to be submitted
electronically, using the application
submission form and process available
at the AFG e-Grant application portal:
https://portal.fema.gov. Specific
information about the submission of
grant applications can be found in the
FY 2017 Fire Prevention and Safety
Program Notice of Funding Opportunity
(NOFO), which will be available for
download at www.fema.gov/firegrants
and at www.regulations.gov under
Docket ID: FEMA–2018–0017.
ADDRESSES:
Appropriations
Congress appropriated $345,000,000
for AFG in FY 2017 pursuant to the
Department of Homeland Security
Appropriations Act, 2017, Public Law
115–31. From this amount, $34,500,000
will be made available for FP&S Grant
awards, pursuant to 15 U.S.C.
2229(h)(5), which states that not less
than 10 percent of available grant funds
each year are awarded under the FP&S
Grant Program. Funds appropriated for
all FY 2017 AFG awards, pursuant to
Public Law 115–31, will be available for
obligation and award until September
30, 2018.
From the approximately 1,000
applications that will be requesting
PO 00000

assistance, FEMA anticipates that it will
award approximately 150 FP&S Grants
from available grant funding.
Background of the AFG Program
DHS awards grants on a competitive
basis to applicants that best address the
FP&S Grant Program’s priorities and
provide the most compelling
justification. Applications that best
address the Program’s priorities will be
reviewed by a panel composed of fire
service personnel.
Award Criteria
All applications for grants will be
prepared and submitted through the
AFG e-Grant application portal (https://
portal.fema.gov).
The FP&S Grant Program panels will
review the applications and score them
using the following criteria areas:
• Financial Need
• Vulnerability Statement
• Implementation Plan
• Evaluation Plan
• Cost-Benefit
• Funding Priorities
The applications submitted under the
R&D Activity will be reviewed first by
a panel of fire service members to
identify those applications most
relevant to the fire service. The
following evaluation criteria will be
used for this review:
• Purpose
• Potential Impact
• Implementation by the Fire Service
• Partners
• Barriers
The applications that are determined
most likely to enable improvement in
firefighter safety, health, or wellness
will be deemed to be in the
‘‘competitive range’’ and forwarded to
the second level of application review,
which is the scientific panel review
process. This panel will be comprised of
scientists and technology experts who
have expertise pertaining to the subject
matter of the proposal.
The Scientific Technical Evaluation
Panel for the R&D Activity will review
the application and evaluate it using the
following criteria:
• Project goals, objectives, and specific
aims
• Literature Review
• Project Methods
• Project Measurements
• Project Analysis
• Dissemination and Implementation
• Cost vs. Benefit (additional
consideration)
• Financial Need (additional
consideration)
• Mentoring (additional consideration
for Early Career Investigator Projects
only)
