The FY 2003 SHSGP authorized equipment list was derived from the Standardized Equipment List (SEL). The SEL was developed by the Interagency Board (IAB) for Equipment Standardization and Interoperability. The IAB compiled the SEL to delineate the types of equipment necessary for terrorist incident response. Because the SEL also contains lists of general use and support equipment, a narrower list was derived from the SEL to identify the specific types of specialized equipment authorized for purchase under the FY 2003 SHSGP. A cross-section of officials representing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Public Health Service, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the U.S. Department of Energy, and state and local CBRNE response experts assisted in the development of this authorized equipment purchase list and in identifying unallowable items.
