Rules for ENHANCE 9-1-1 Act Grants Published (6/5/09)
The national E9-1-1 Implementation and Coordination Office published the final rules for the ENHANCE 9-1-1 Act grant program in the Federal Register. A state must submit the application documents by Aug. 4, and qualifying states will be granted awards by Sept. 30.
The act authorizes grants for the implementation and operation of Phase II E9-1-1 services and for migration to an IP-enabled emergency network. To qualify for a grant, an applicant must submit a state 9-1-1 plan and project budget, designate an E9-1-1 coordinator, and certify, among other things, that the state and other taxing jurisdictions within the state haven’t diverted E9-1-1 charges for any other purpose within 180 days preceding the application date.
The funds are for the acquisition and deployment of hardware and software that cover the implementation and operation of Phase II E9-1-1 services, for the acquisition and deployment of hardware and software to enable the migration to an IP-enabled network, and training for the use of such hardware and software following completion.
