**FEDERAL FUNDING REPORT TABLE OF CONTENTS**

This Federal Funding Report is a weekly compilation of items published
in the Federal Register which affect Federal domestic assistance
programs. No attempt is made to include Federal Register notices not
directly related to Grants and Loans programs. The summary consists of
three parts: (1) Federal Register Summary, (2) Early Warning Grants
Report, and (3) Disaster Loan Applications.

Periodically, a Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number
will not be listed in the announcement. There are two (2) basic reasons
for this: 1) a CFDA number has been applied for and not yet received, or
2) the CFDA number has not been put in by the agency yet. Please call
the contact person listed in the Federal Register announcement for the
correct CFDA number. The new number should appear in the next edition of
the CFDA, which is published in June and December of each year.

**CONTACT:** Jean E. McKeever **TELEPHONE:** 202 366-5737

**SUMMARY:** Notice regarding the Maritime Administration; Assistance to
Small Shipyards Grant Program; Amendment to Notice. By notice in the
Federal Register dated January 10, 2008 (Vol. 73, No. 7, PP. 1912-1913),
the Maritime Administration announced the establishment of a new grant
program to provide assistance to small shipyards. Amendment: In order to
properly reflect the scope of Congressional intent in authorizing the
small shipyard assistance program in Section 3506 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 (Pub. L. 109-163), the
description of the grant program set forth above is amended to read that
the grants are for "\* \* \* capital improvements, and related
infrastructure improvements at qualified shipyards that will facilitate
the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and quality of domestic ship
construction, ship conversion and/or ship repair for commercial and
Federal Government use." Item No. 4 is amended in pertinent part to
request information concerning how the project "\* \* \* will facilitate
the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and quality of domestic ship
construction, ship conversion, and/or ship repair for commercial and
Federal Use." Because many small shipyards do not have audited financial
statements, Item No. 7 is amended to add at the end of the following
sentence: "If audited financial statements are not available, complied
financial statements by an independent Certified Public Accountant
should be submitted."
