These grant programs are part of a comprehensive set of measures authorized by Congress and implemented by the Administration to help strengthen the nation’s critical infrastructure against risks associated with potential terrorist attacks.

The PSGP supports critical national seaports/terminals to enhance port security through enhanced facility and operational security.
