          SUBJECT:  Funding allocations for Fiscal Year 2000 Office of State and Local Domestic
          Preparedness Support (ODP) Grants.        

The attached list of funding allocations is provided to assist State Administrative Agencies (SAA)
with their planning efforts for the expenditure of Fiscal Year 2000 funding.  Fiscal Year 2001
funding allocations have not been determined at this time and will be provided at a later date.

States are eligible to apply for Fiscal Year 2000 domestic preparedness equipment funding upon
completion of statewide threat, risk, and capabilities assessments, and the submission of three-
year domestic preparedness strategic plans.  To accomplish this, SAAs received planning funds
with their Fiscal Year 1999 state agency grant awards.  Planning funds will not be provided with
the projected Fiscal Year 2000 or 2001 grant funding allocations.  

Please note that those states that were not eligible for Fiscal Year 1999 funding; American
Samoa, the District of Columbia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S.
Virgin Islands, are eligible for ODP Fiscal Year 2000 equipment funding, which also includes
planning fund allocations as noted on the attached list.  Needs assessment results and strategic
plans will cover a two-year period for these jurisdictions, beginning with Fiscal Year 2000.

Please feel free to contact your ODP program manager for additional information regarding
Fiscal Year 2000 funding.
