The State of New Hampshire had recently received $5.9 million under the Public Safety Interoperable Communications (PSIC) grant program. The PSIC is part of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, which directed the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), to establish and implement a $1 billion grant program to assist public safety agencies in the acquisition of, deployment of, or training for the use of interoperable communications systems that use or enable use with the 700 MHz frequency band or interoperability improvements in any other public safety spectrum band.
The Public Safety Interoperable Communications Grant (PSIC) Grant Program is a one-time formula-based, matching grant program intended to enhance interoperable communications with respect to voice, data, and/or video signals. PSIC provides public safety agencies with the opportunity to achieve meaningful and measurable improvements to the state of public safety communications interoperability through the full and efficient use of all telecommunications resources.
Each public safety agency receiving PSIC funds is required to meet and document a 20 percent statutory match requirement for each project during the period performance of the grant.
