SAFECOM Compliance Letter

There is no form letter.  FEMA simply put language in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) informing applicants they have to submit a letter. A copy of the NOFA is uploaded in ROCIS. The proposed language is as follows:  

The signatory authority for the SAA must certify in writing to DHS/FEMA their compliance with the SAFECOM Guidance on Emergency Communications Grants, specifically Appendix D.  This letter should be coordinated with the SWIC or SWIC equivalent for each State.
