SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Overview

The Violent Crime Control and Law

Enforcement Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103–

322) authorizes the Department of

Justice to make grants to increase

deployment of law enforcement officers

devoted to community policing on the

streets and rural routes in this nation.

Problem-Solving Partnerships is

designed to provide policing agencies

and community based entities with a

unique opportunity to work together to

address persistent crime and disorder

problems through innovative

community policing

Problem-Solving Partnerships grants

will permit eligible agencies to fund

resources that enhance a community’s

ability to do creative problem solving.

These resources may include computer

technology, such as geographic

information systems/mapping, crime

analysis personnel, subject matter

experts, neighborhood and

environmental surveys, victim/offender

interviews, community organizers, and

training and technical assistance in

collaborative problem solving.

Applications will be available in mid
30096 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 115 / Thursday, June 13, 1996 / Notices

June, 1996. Applications for

consideration under Round I must be

postmarked on or before July 22, 1996.

Applications postmarked after July 22,

1996, but postmarked on or before

August 15, 1996, will be considered

under Round II.

Applicants are required to focus on

one specific crime or disorder problem.

These include: residential or

commercial burglary; auto theft; larceny;

homicide; assault; rape/sexual assault;

alcohol-related problems; street-level

drug dealing or drug-related problems;

vandalism, prostitution or other

disorder problems. Applicants will

conduct an in-depth inquiry into the

causes of the problem, develop tailormade responses to it, and assess the

impact of those responses.

Problem-Solving Partnerships is

expected to be a very competitive grant

program. Up to $40,000,000 in ProblemSolving partnership grants will be

awarded. No local match is required,

but applicants are encouraged to

contribute cash or in-kind resources to

their proposed projects. A minimum of

5 percent of the grant award must be

used to evaluate the impact of the

problem-solving effort on the targeted

crime or disorder problem. Grant funds

must be used to supplement, and not

supplant, state or local funds that

otherwise would be devoted to public

safety activities.

Law enforcement agencies generally

must partner with a non-profit,

community-based entity or municipal

agency. Such a partnership must be

outlined in a collaboration agreement

that accompanies the application. Law

enforcement agencies (primary

applicants) only may submit one

application. Community-based entities

(secondary applicants) may partner with

one or more law enforcement agencies

and, therefore, may appear in more than

one application.

An award under the Problem-Solving

Partnerships grant program will not

affect the eligibility of an agency to

receive awards under any other COPS

program.

The complaint seeks injunctive relief to

ensure future compliance with the

NSPS regulations. Under the consent

decree, Chevron Richmond will retofit a

total of 18 tanks with agreed upon

tank. After retrofitting the specified

tanks, the defendant is required to
