About this file

This is a budget detail worksheet template for the FY 2026 Intercity Passenger Rail (IPR) Security Grant Program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency under CFDA Number 97.075. The template is designed for applicants to document investment justifications and detailed budget allocations for security enhancement projects. It requires applicants to complete sections on background information, strategic priorities, risk impact analysis, and funding implementation plans. Key sections include operating system descriptions (critical infrastructure, ridership data, vehicle counts, system maps), investment abstracts linking proposed projects to vulnerability assessments and National Preparedness Goal core capabilities, and detailed impact assessments demonstrating cost-effectiveness and risk reduction potential.

The budget detail worksheet requires itemization of costs across seven allowable categories: planning, equipment, training, exercises, operational packages, management and administration, and other expenses. Applicants must provide detailed computations for personnel, fringe benefits, travel, equipment, supplies, contracts/consultants, other costs, and indirect costs, with separate columns for federal and non-federal funding amounts. The template includes timeline and milestone sections limited to up to ten major milestones critical to investment success, with planned start and completion dates. Applicants must also indicate whether additional non-federal funding will be leveraged for the investment, as awards are evaluated on cost-effectiveness relative to security impact. This template applies to the IPR Program, which is restricted to Amtrak as the sole eligible applicant, and contains sensitive security information controlled under 49 CFR parts 15 and 1520.

1.B. OPERATING SYSTEM

Describe the following by mode:

· Critical infrastructure;

· Ridership data;

· Number of passenger miles;

· Number of vehicles and/or vessels;

· System map; and

· Other sources of funding being leveraged for security enhancements.

2. STRATEGIC AND PROGRAM PRIORITIES

2.A. INVESTMENT ABSTRACT

Describe what the project is, how it will be executed, and its purpose:

· Define the vision, goals, and objectives for the risk reduction, and summarize how the proposed investment will fit into the overall effort to meet the critical infrastructure security priorities (including integration into existing security protocols);

· Describe how the investment ties back to a recent vulnerability assessment, security plan, and/or real-world event; • Describe how the investment builds or sustains one or more core capabilities outlined in the National Preparedness Goal (the Goal) core capabilities;

· Describe the specific needs and/or resource limitations that need to be addressed; • Identify any potential partners and their roles and staffing requirements, and provide information on any existing agreements such as Memoranda of Understanding (MOU);

· Identify specific equipment needs (e.g., number of facility cameras, number of security lights, amount of security fencing, etc.) and other details for training, awareness, exercises, and other programs, if applicable (e.g., number of people to be trained, length of training, type of training, number of printed materials, number of agencies and staff members involved in exercise planning, execution, and review);

· Describe progress made on the security project this investment will be completing, if applicable; and • Reference use of prior year grant fund, if applicable.

· Capital Projects • If requesting consequence management, clearly detail the prevention and protection measures already in place, or funded to be completed;

· Operational Projects • If requesting funding for both new OPacks and sustainment of existing OPacks describe which is the higher priority for the agency and why.

3. IMPACT

Discuss how the implementation of this investment will decrease or mitigate risk. Describe how the project offers the highest risk reduction potential at the least cost. Include output and outcome metrics.

· Discuss how this investment will reduce risk (e.g., reduce vulnerabilities identified in a vulnerability assessment/security plan, or mitigate the consequences of a real-world event) in a cost effective manner;

· Identify the nature of the risk and how the risk and need are related to show how addressing the through this investment will also mitigate risk (e.g., reduce vulnerabilities or mitigate the consequences of an event);

· Outline the expected, high-level impacts this investment is expected to attain or achieve if implemented, and potential negative impacts if the investment is not implemented.

4. FUNDING/IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

Complete the chart below to identify the amount of funding the recipient is requesting for this investment only;

· Funds should be requested and detailed by allowable cost categories (i.e., planning, organization, equipment, training, exercises, and management and administration);

· Applicants must make funding requests that are reasonable and justified by direct linkages to activities outlined in this particular investment; and

· Applicants must indicate whether additional funding (non-Federal grants) will be leveraged for this investment.

Note: Investments will be evaluated on the expected impact on security relative to the amount of the investment (i.e., cost effectiveness). An itemized Budget Detail Worksheet and Budget Narrative must also be completed for this investment.
