SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority

    This action is authorized under the Omnibus Consolidated and 
Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1999 (Pub. L. 105-277, 
October 21, 1998, 112 Stat. 2681).

Background

    The Office for State and Local Domestic Preparedness Support will 
distribute FY 1999 funding to provide the maximum number of communities 
with a basic defensive capability to respond to domestic terrorism 
incidents. This program ensures that first responders are properly 
equipped and prepared to respond to incidents of domestic terrorism 
involving chemical and biological agents, as well as radiological and 
explosive devices. This program will provide grants to the 157 largest 
cities and localities, to procure personal protective, chemical, 
biological and radiological detection and communications equipment in 
accordance with the FY 1999 Authorized Equipment Purchase List.

Application Kits

    Application kits will be mailed to the Chief Executive Officers in 
each of the targeted jurisdictions. Interested eligible applicants are 
encouraged to contact the National Criminal Justice Reference Service 
(NCJRS) at 1-800-851-3420 to ensure that they receive an application 
kit for the FY 1999 County and Municipal Agency Domestic Preparedness 
Equipment Support Program.

Eligible Applicants

    Eligible applicants are the chief executive officers (CEOs) in the 
nation's 157 largest metropolitan jurisdictions, listed in the 
following table. However, if the county or municipal government is not 
responsible for the fire services, emergency medical services, 
hazardous materials response units, and/or law enforcement agencies in 
its jurisdiction, then the appropriate State or local agency that 
provides that service must be consulted in the development of the 
application. All eligible applicants are grouped by a population index 
based on 1992 census data.
    Certain county jurisdictions may not provide any qualifying 
services or have authority to apply for this program. In those 
instances, an appropriate State or municipal-level agency must apply on 
behalf of the jurisdictions within the county. If your county falls 
into this category, please contact OJP at 202-305-9887 for guidance in 
meeting the application requirements.
