DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

State Fiscal Stabilization Fund 

Program 

AGENCY: Office of Elementary and 

Secondary Education, Department of 

Education. 

ACTION: Notice announcing application 

deadline. 

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance 

(CFDA) Numbers: 84.394 and 84.397. 

SUMMARY: Under the State Fiscal 

Stabilization Fund (Stabilization) 

program, authorized in Title XIV of the 

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act of 2009 (ARRA), Public Law 111–5, 

the U.S. Department of Education 

(Department) awards grants on a 

formula basis to Governors to help 

stabilize State and local government 

budgets in order to minimize and avoid 

reductions in education and other 

essential public services. The 

Department is awarding Stabilization 

funds in two phases. In Phase 1, the 

Department will award 67 percent of the 

total funds available to a State, unless 

the State can demonstrate that 

additional funds are required to restore 

fiscal year 2009 State support for 

education. In that case, the Department 

will award up to 90 percent of its total 

allocation in Phase 1. The Department 

will award the remaining portion of a 

State’s allocation in Phase 2. In this 

notice, we establish the deadline by 

which a Governor must submit the 

State’s application for Phase 1 funding 

under the Stabilization program. 

Application Deadline: July 1, 2009, 

4:30:00 p.m. Washington, DC time. 

Governors must submit an application 

electronically by the deadline in this 

notice. If a Governor fails to submit the 

State’s application by this deadline, the 

State will not receive any Phase 1 or 

Phase 2 Stabilization funds. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: There are 

two components of the Stabilization 

program: the Education Stabilization 

Fund (CFDA No. 84.394) and the 

Government Services Fund (CFDA No. 

84.397). By statute, the Department will 

award 81.8 percent of a State’s total 

Stabilization allocation under the 

Education Stabilization Fund and the 

remaining 18.2 percent of its allocation 

under the Government Services Fund. 

Governors will apply for funding for 

each component under a single 

application. The application is available 

on the Department’s Web site at 

http://www.ed.gov/programs/ 

statestabilization/applicant.html. 

If a Governor does not submit the 

State’s application for Phase 1 funding 

by the deadline in this notice, the 

Department will allocate the funds that 

were reserved for the State to those 

States that have submitted timely 

applications. A State that fails to submit 

an application by the deadline in this 

notice will not receive any Phase 1 or 

Phase 2 Stabilization funds. 

Electronic Submission of 

Applications: A Governor must submit 

an electronic version of his/her State’s 

application in .PDF (Portable Document) 

format to 

Stabilizationfundapplication@ed.gov by 

July 1, 2009, 4:30:00 p.m., Washington,

with respect to environmental issues 

that wish to cooperate in the

agencies should note the Commission’s 

policy that agencies that cooperate in 

the preparation of the environmental 

document cannot also intervene. See, 94 

FERC ¶ 61,076 (2001). 

k. Pursuant to § 4.32(b)(7) of 18 CFR 

of the Commission’s regulations, if any 

resource agency, Indian Tribe, or person 

believes that an additional scientific 

study should be conducted in order to 

form an adequate factual basis for a 

complete analysis of the application on 

its merit, the resource agency, Indian 

Tribe, or person must file a request for 

a study with the Commission not later 

than 60 days from the date of filing of 

the application, and serve a copy of the 

request on the applicant. 

l. Deadline for filing additional study 

requests and requests for cooperating 

agency status: June 28, 2009. 

All documents (original and eight 

copies) should be filed with: Kimberly 

D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First 

Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

Additional study requests and

Internet in lieu of paper. The 

Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings. See 18 CFR 

385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions

www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ferconline.asp) 

under the ‘‘e-filing’’ link. For a simpler 

method of submitting text only 

comments, click on ‘‘Quick Comment.’’ 

m. The application is not ready for 

environmental analysis at this time. 

n. The project consists of the 

following facilities: (1) An intake at 

Periodic Springs; (2) an existing 97,000 

gallon buried concrete surge tank; (3) an 

existing 16,775-foot-long, 18-inchdiameter iron ductile pipe; (4) a new 

approximately 95-foot-long, 2-footdiameter ductile iron penstock 

conveying flows from the existing pipe 

to the new powerhouse; (5) a 20-footlong by 20-foot-wide powerhouse 

containing a single Pelton turbine and 

generator with an installed capacity of 

225 kilowatts (kW); (6) an 

approximately 10-foot-long, 2.5-footdiameter draft tube discharging flows 

from the powerhouse to an existing 

access hatchway at the top of the storage 

tank; (7) a one-million-gallon storage 

tank; and (8) appurtenant facilities. The 

power generated will intertie with the 

existing 12.5-kilovolt distribution 

system at the culinary water treatment 

plant. 

The Culinary Water System 

Hydroelectric Project would utilize 

some features from the Town of Afton’s 

existing culinary water supply system. 

Under current operating conditions, 

water is piped from Periodic Springs to 

a buried concrete surge tank. From this 

tank, water is routed to a water 

treatment plant, and then to a storage 

tank before distribution. The new 

hydroelectric project will divert flow at 

an existing bifurcation in the 

conveyance pipe, upstream of the 

treatment plant. Flows up to 12 cubic 

feet per second (cfs) will be diverted to 

the powerhouse for hydropower 

generation, then discharged directly to 

the storage tank, bypassing the current 

treatment plant. The proposed project 

would have a total installed capacity of 

225 kW and would produce an average 

annual generation of 1,272,463 kilowatthours. The generated power would be 

utilized to offset the energy used by the 

culinary water system, with net power 

sold to Lower Valley Energy, Inc. The 

project will operate as a run-of-river, 

with any flows in excess of the turbine 

capacity of 12 cfs bypassing the project 

to the existing treatment plant. 

o. A copy of the application is 

available for review at the Commission 

in the Public Reference Room or may be 

viewed on the Commission’s Web site at 

http://www.ferc.gov using the
