Public Safety
Interoperable Communications Grant Program
NTIA and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
signed a Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU) on Friday, February 16, 2007, to implement
the Public Safety Interoperable Communications (PSIC) Grant Program
to help state, local and federal first responders better communicate
during a natural or man-made disaster.
NTIA, in consultation
with DHS, shall make payments not to exceed $1 billion
in the aggregate through fiscal year 2010 to carry out
the PSIC program. Grants will be awarded by September
30, 2007, and grant projects will be completed in Fiscal
Year 2010.
The grant program, which covers public safety
agencies in all 50 states, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico and four U.S. territories, will assist public
safety agencies in the acquisition of, deployment of,
or training for the use of interoperable communications
systems that can utilize reallocated public safety spectrum
in the 700 MHz band for radio communication.
For program information, the public may contact NTIA's Office of Telecommunications
and Information Administration at (202) 482-5802 or the DHS Office of
Grants and Training at 1-800-368-6498.
