Subject: FFY 2023 Homeland Security Grant Program Award - EHP Level A Review
Subrecipient Agreement Number: 230206-01
Project Title: Central Region COOP/EOP Cloud

Dear Stakeholder:

The project that your agency submitted to the Arizona Department of Homeland Security (AZDOHS) for
consideration under the Homeland Security Grant Program has been awarded.

Please be advised, all projects require an Environmental and Historic Preservation review. Your project has
been reviewed and it has been determined to have no potential impact to environmental or historic concerns.
Any change of scope to the project will require additional EHP review and consideration. If you need further
clarification please contact Michael Stidham at (602) 228-3618 or mstidham@azdohs.gov with AZDOHS for
further information regarding the EHP specific requirements for your award.

As stated in the subrecipient agreement:

The subrecipient shall comply with Federal EHP regulations, laws and Executive Orders as applicable.
Subrecipients proposing projects that have the potential to impact the environment, including but not
limited to construction of communication towers, modification or renovation of existing buildings,
structures and facilities, or new construction including replacement of facilities, must participate in the
DHS/FEMA EHP review process. The EHP review process involves the submission of a detailed
project description that explains the goals and objectives of the proposed project along with
supporting documentation so that DHS/FEMA may determine whether the proposed project has the
potential to impact environmental resources and/or historic properties. In some cases, DHS/FEMA is
also required to consult with other regulatory agencies and the public in order to complete the review
process. The EHP review process must be completed before funds are released to carry out the
proposed project. DHS/FEMA will not fund projects that are initiated without the required EHP review.

Additionally, all recipients are required to comply with DHS/FEMA EHP Policy Guidance. This EHP
Policy Guidance can be found in FP 108-023-1, Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation
Policy Guidance.
