SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the THSGP is to make grants 
available to Federally-recognized ``directly eligible tribes,'' as 
defined by section 2005 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (codified 
as amended at 6 U.S.C. 606), and to provide Tribes with the ability to 
develop and deliver core capabilities using the combined efforts of the 
whole community, rather than the exclusive effort of any single 
organization or level of government. The THSGP's allowable costs 
support efforts of Tribes to build and sustain core capabilities to 
prepare for, prevent, protect against, and respond to acts of 
terrorism. The THSGP also plays an important role in the implementation 
of the National Preparedness System by supporting the building, 
sustainment, and delivery of core capabilities essential to achieving 
FEMA's National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient Nation. 
Federally recognized Tribes are those Tribes appearing on the list 
published by the Secretary of the Interior pursuant to the Federally 
Recognized Indian Tribe List Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-454) (25 U.S.C. 
5131). ``Directly eligible tribes'' are defined in section 2001 of the 
Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended (Pub. L. 107-296) (6 U.S.C. 
601).
