Estuarine Land Conservation Program 

(CELCP)—FY 2010 Competitive List’’ 

which was originally announced in the 

Federal Register on January 2, 2009 (74 

FR 82). This notice announces changes 

to the eligibility criteria, program 

priorities, and selection criteria to 

implement the requirements of the 

Omnibus Public Lands Management Act 

of 2009 (March 30, 2009). As a result of 

these changes, the application period for 

proposals is re-opened to provide 

eligible states and territories with the 

opportunity to adjust project proposals 

to comport with the changes, which are 

summarized in this notice and more 

fully described in the full Federal 

Funding Opportunity (FFO) 

Announcement for this competition. 

DATES: Final Applications must be 

received by Grants.gov (http:// 

www.grants.gov) or be delivered to the 

OCRM office (address listed in this 

announcement) no later than 6 p.m.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

National Ocean Service (NOS), 

announces that it is amending the FY 

2010 solicitation for the Coastal and 

Estuarine Land Conservation Program 

(CELCP), originally published on 

January 2, 2009 (74 FR 82), to 

implement requirements in the 

Omnibus Public Lands Management Act 

of 2009, Public Law 111–11 (March 30, 

2009). The program makes the following 

changes to the program requirements: at 

least 15% of appropriated funds shall 

now be available for CELCP projects that 

benefit National Estuarine Research 

Reserves; the program allows newlyeligible sources of in-kind match, 

including lands or interests in lands 

(easements) held by qualified nongovernmental organizations and costs 

associated with lands or easements 

proposed for use as in-kind match, such 

as land acquisition expenses, land 

management planning, remediation, 

restoration or enhancement, that were 

not previously eligible; the value of inkind match properties will now be 

based on the appraised value of the land 

or easement at the time of grant closing 

(which, for the purposes of this 

competition, valuation should be 

conducted within the nine months 

preceding the award expiration date) 

rather than at the time the property is 

acquired or donated; applicants must 

demonstrate that property sellers are 

willing participants in negotiations for 

sale of property at a mutually agreeable 

price; coastal states and territories must 

now ensure that proposed projects 

complement working waterfront needs; 

greater emphasis will be placed on 

applicants’ ability to demonstrate 

successful leveraging of funds; and 

NOAA may now select projects from 

this competition for additional FY 2010 

funding requested in the President’s 

Budget as part of EPA’s Great Lakes 

Restoration Initiative, if appropriated. 

Due to the amendments to the 

program, the due date for applications is 

extended until September 18, 2009. It is 

anticipated that projects funded under 

this announcement will still have a 

grant start date between March 1, 2010, 

and October 1, 2010. 

Under this amended solicitation, NOS 

allows for modifications to applications 

originally received under the initial 

announcement, and allows new 

applications for projects from eligible 

applicants. Any proposal that was 

submitted to the initial solicitation 

within the initial deadline is not 

required to be resubmitted to be 

considered under this amendment. 

However, changes to the solicitation 

announced by this amendment may 

impact the viability or scoring of 

proposals submitted by applicants in 

response to the initial announcement. 

Applicants may revise proposals to 

address these changes; however, any 

revisions to such proposals must be 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 159 / Wednesday, August 19, 2009 / Notices 41863 

submitted by the new deadline in order 

for the revised changes to be considered 

under this amended solicitation. An 

applicant may submit up to three 

projects for this competition. The 

maximum amount that may be 

requested for the Federal share of each 

project is $3,000,000. 

The following sections of that Federal 

Funding Opportunity have been 

amended to reflect the changes 

announced in this notice: ‘‘Dates,’’ 

‘‘Funding Opportunity Description,’’ 

‘‘Award Information,’’ ‘‘Eligibility 

Information,’’ ‘‘Application and 

Submission Information’’, ‘‘Application 

Review Information,’’ and ‘‘Award 

Administration Information’’. 

Electronic Access: The full text of the 

full funding opportunity announcement 

for this program can be accessed via the 

Grants.gov Web site at http:// 

www.grants.gov or NOAA’s CELCP Web 

site under ‘‘Funding Opportunities’’

identified under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. Applicants must 

comply with all requirements contained 

in the full funding opportunity 

announcement. 

Statutory Authority: Public Law 111– 

11 (March 30, 2009) (formerly 16 U.S.C. 

l456d). 

Funding Availability: NOAA 

anticipates that approximately 20–60 

projects may be included on a 

competitively-ranked list of projects that 

are ready and eligible for funding in FY 

2010. Funding for projects is contingent 

upon availability of Federal 

appropriations for FY 2010. Applicants 

are hereby given notice that funds have 

not yet been appropriated for this 

program. The FY 2010 President’s 

request for CELCP is $15 million, and 

the request for EPA’s Great Lakes 

Restoration Initiative includes an 

additional $5 million for CELCP projects 

in Great Lakes states. Annual 

appropriated funding levels for the 

CELCP have ranged from $8–$50 

million from FY 2002–2009. Eligible 

applicants may submit up to three 

projects for this competition. The 

maximum amount that may be 

requested for the Federal share of each 

project is $3,000,000. 

The standard grant award period is 18 

months. NOAA may extend the 

performance period for project grants up 

to an additional 18 months (for a 

maximum total performance period of 3 

years) if circumstances warrant and if 

progress on the project is being 

demonstrated. 

CFDA: 11.419 Coastal Management 

Administration Awards. 

Eligibility: Only coastal states and 

territories with a Coastal Zone 

Management Program or National 

Estuarine Research Reserve approved 

under the CZMA and which have 

submitted a draft CELCP plan on or 

before February 24, 2009, are eligible to 

participate in this competition. A list of 

the status of each state and territory’s 

CELCP plan, including the states and 

territories eligible for this competition, 

is available at http:// 

coastalmanagement.noaa.gov/land/ 

media/CELCPplans_web.pdf. The 

designated lead agency for 

implementing CELCP in each state or 

territory (‘‘lead agency’’) is eligible to 

submit projects for funding under this 

competition. A list of lead contacts for 

each state and territory is available on 

the CELCP Web site at http:// 

coastalmanagement.noaa.gov/land/ 

meadia/celcpstateleadcontacts.pdf, or 

by contacting the program officials 

identified in FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. The designated lead agency 

may solicit, and include in their 

application, project proposals from 

additional eligible state or territorial 

agencies, local governments as defined 

at 15 CFR 24.3, or entities eligible for 

assistance under section 306A(e) of the 

CZMA (16 U.S.C. 1455a(e)), provided 

that each has the authority to acquire 

and manage land for conservation 

purposes. Interested parties should 

contact the appropriate CELCP lead in 

each state or territory. 

Intergovernmental Review: 

Applications under this program are 

subject to Executive Order 12372, 

‘‘Intergovernmental Review of Federal 

Programs’’ for states that participate in 

this process. A list of the participating 

states and the clearinghouse points of 

contact can be found at http://

Limitation of Liability 

In no event will NOAA or the 

Department of Commerce be responsible 

for proposal preparation costs if this 

program fails to receive funding or is 

cancelled because of other agency 

priorities. Publication of this 

announcement does not oblige NOAA to 

award any specific project or to obligate 

any available funds. Recipients and 

subrecipients are subject to all Federal 

laws and agency policies, regulations 

and procedures applicable to Federal 

financial assistance awards. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA): 

NEPA and the Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) 

implementing regulations (40 CFR parts 

1500 through 1508) require that an 

environmental analysis be completed 

for all major Federal actions 

significantly affecting the environment. 

NEPA applies to the actions of Federal 

agencies and may include a Federal 

agency’s decision to fund non-Federal 

projects under grants and cooperative 

agreements. Detailed information on 

NOAA compliance with NEPA can be 

found at the following NOAA NEPA 

Web site: http://nepa.noaa.gov/, 

including our NOAA Administrative 

Order 216–6 for NEPA, http:// 

www.nepa.noaa.gov/ 

NAO216_6_TOC.ped and CEQ 

implementation regulations, http:// 

ceg.eh.doe.gov/nepa/regs/ceq/ 

toc_ceq.htm. Consequently, as part of all 

project application packages, applicants 

are required to provide detailed 

information on the activities to be 

conducted, locations, sites, species and 

habitat to be affected, possible 

construction activities, and any 

environmental concerns that may exist 

(e.g., the use and disposal of hazardous 

or toxic chemicals, introduction of nonindigenous species, impacts to 

endangered and threatened species, 

aquaculture projects, and impacts to 

coral reef systems). In addition to 

providing specific information that will 

serve as the basis for any required 

impact analyses, applicants may also be 

requested to assist NOAA in drafting of 

an environmental assessment, if NOAA 

determines an assessment is required. 

Applicants will also be required to 

cooperate with NOAA in identifying 

feasible measures to reduce or avoid any 

identified adverse environmental 

impacts of their proposal. The failure to 

do so shall be grounds for not selecting 

an application. In some cases if 

additional information is required after 

an application is selected, funds can be 

withheld by the Grants Officer under a 

special award condition requiring the 

recipient to submit additional 

environmental compliance information 

sufficient to enable NOAA to make an 

assessment on any impacts that a project 

may have on the environment. 

The Department of Commerce PreAward Notification Requirements for 

Grants and Cooperative Agreements 

contained in the Federal Register notice 

of February 11, 2008 (73 FR 7686) are 

applicable to this solicitation.

defined in Executive Order 13132. 

Administrative Procedure Act/ 

Requlatory Flexibility Act: 

Prior notice and comment are not 

required under 5 U.S.C. 553, or any 

other law, for rules relating to public 

property, loans, grants, benefits or 

contracts (5 U.S.C. 553(a)). Because 

prior notice and an opportunity for 

public comment are not required 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or any other 

law, the analytical requirements of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. et 

seq.) are inapplicable. Therefore, a 

regulatory flexibility analysis is not 

required and has not been prepared.
