Buffer Zone Protection Program (BZPP)

Overview

Total Funding Available in FY 2008:  $48.5 million

Purpose:  BZPP provides grants to build security and risk-management capabilities at the State and local level in order to secure pre-designated Tier I and Tier II critical infrastructure sites, including chemical facilities, financial institutions, nuclear and electric power plants, dams, stadiums, and other high-risk/high-consequence facilities.

Eligible Applicants: Specific BZPP sites within 45 States have been selected based on their level of risk and criticality.  Each State with a BZPP site is eligible to submit applications for its local communities to participate in and receive funding under the program.  Therefore, BZPP funding allocated to any given State or territory is a function of the number, type, and character of the pre-identified sites within that State or territory.
