    The document outlines the process for State Administrative Agencies (SAAs) to manage the National Security Grant Program - Nonprofit Security Support (NSGP-NSS) submissions to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). It emphasizes the requirement for updated Investment Justification (IJ) templates and a new SAA Prioritization Tracker. SAAs must utilize only current forms, with previous iterations deemed unacceptable. The streamlined export and migration processes are detailed, encouraging the use of a specific Export Assistance Tool to convert IJ data into a usable format for FEMA submission. The document also includes guidelines for consortium applications, outlining necessary documents to be submitted and specific naming conventions for files. Essential steps in collecting, scoring, and submitting IJs to FEMA are presented alongside reminders about the FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO) platform for uploads. The purpose of this guidance is to enhance efficiency and accuracy in the submission and review of grant proposals, ultimately supporting the security needs of nonprofit organizations.
