Subject: 2006 AFG Notice
The Assistance to Firefighters Grants' 2005 reauthorization
required that the Department of Homeland Security convene an annual
meeting with members of the national fire service for the purpose of
recommending criteria for awarding grants. Also, the reauthorization
required that each year, prior to making any grants, DHS must publish
in the Federal Register
1) a description of the process for applying for grants,
2) the criteria for awarding grants, and
3) an explanation of any differences between the national
fire service's recommendations and the criteria used by DHS.
The Notice for the 2006 program year was published in
the Federal Register on September 6, 2006, and it signals the commencement
of the processing of the 2006 award cycle. The Notice can be viewed
at http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2006/pdf/E6-14759.pdf. Awards are expected
to be issued and announced in about 4 weeks, continuing through the
calendar year.
