ACTION: Notice of Request for Preapplications.

SUMMARY: The United States

Environmental Protection Agency

Laboratory at Corvallis, Oregon, is

requesting assistance pre-applications

for a cooperative agreement on

ecosystem management research in the

Pacific Northwest (primarily Oregon

and Washington).

DATES: Pre-applications will be due

April 7, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr.

Joan P. Baker, USEPA, Environmental

Research Laboratory, 200 SW 35th

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

purpose of this cooperative agreement is

to stimulate the broad range of

ecological research needed to improve

the scientific information,

understanding, analyses, and methods

required to implement ecosystem

management effectively in the region.

Important parts of the agreement will be

the integration of research across

scientific disciplines, ecosystem types,

spatial scales, and geographic areas and

the active involvement of the broad

ecological research component with

relevant expertise. Research areas

include regional biodiversity,

watershed/ecoregion-scale assessments,

ecological functions of riparian areas,

coastal estuaries, extrapolation,

integrated monitoring design, and

ecological/socioeconomic linkages.

USEPA scientists will collaborate with

the recipient on the design, conduct,

and interpretation of research funded

through this agreement.

The cooperative agreement will have

a period of performance up to five years.

Annual funding will range between

$1,000,000 and $3,000,000 per year. Preapplications must be received by April

7, 1995. An independent peer review

panel will evaluate all assistance preaplications. Based on this review, one or

more applicants will be requested to

submit full assistance applications. A

single applicant will be selected for

funding based on peer review of these

full assistance applications. Eligible

applicants include members of

academic and nonprofit institutions

located in the United States.

Federal grant regulation 40 CFR

30.307 requires that all recipient

institutions provide a minimum of 5

percent of the total project cost, which
