				  criteria, and application procedures.
This Request for Proposals solicits projects that are related
				  to the themes identified by the Coastal Advisory Council (CAC) for the FY
				  2024-2025 Cycle 27 awards. Projects that are acceptable but for which there are
				  no available funds may be awarded a CIG at a later date if funds become
				  available.
All CIG applications must be matched annually $1.00 federal
				  to $1.00 local (1:1). Match may be either cash from local, state or private
				  sources or "in-kind" service(s).
If selected, CIG Cycle 27 contracts will run for one year
				  beginning October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025. Applications will be
				  accepted for two-year sub-grant requests with the second year of support
				  contingent upon approval and receipt of federal funds. Year 1 funding is not
				  transferable to Year 2, if applicant submits a two (2) year project.
CIGs are reimbursable sub-grants. A Request for Reimbursement
				  of federal project costs, along with a report of applicable non-federal match,
				  is to be submitted with the Final Report, using the format provided by the DNR.
				  Reimbursement will be made following completion of the terms of the sub-grant

Current through Rules
				and Regulations filed through June 27, 2024
All funding components must be supported by a direct line
				  item budget. Applicant overhead cost must be itemized and included as a direct
				  expense. As per the OMB 2
				  C.F.R. 200 Circular (Uniform Guidance),
				  indirect cost rates, percentages, or contingencies will be considered as
				  allowable costs for reimbursement or match, in whole or part, as preferred by
				  the applicant, under the CIG program. The applicant
must
include a statement of the federally negotiated
				  indirect cost rate in the budget narrative, as well as proof of the agreement.
				  If the applicant has never had a federally negotiated indirect cost rate
				  agreement, then a maximum 10% de minimis indirect cost rate is allowable,
				  unless otherwise negotiated between the applicant and DNR-CRD at the
				  applicant's discretion.
The applicant
must
match the federal
				  funds requested through the CIG program. The minimum required match ratio for
				  CIG sub-grants is $1.00 federal to $1.00 local (1:1) for all projects. A 1:1
				  match must be accrued for each year of the project. Match may be either cash
				  from local, state, or private sources; or "in-kind service(s)". Generally,
				  funds from other federal agencies may not be used as match, unless the program
				  authorization for that funding program indicates that their funds may be used
				  to meet an applicant's local share. If federal dollars are to be used as match,
				  the applicant must provide a copy of the authorizing language or a statement
				  from the federal agency that it is allowable, including a statutory citation
				  for the authorizing language.
In-Kind Match:
A match source that
				  is considered "in-kind services" must meet the following criteria:
* Verifiable from your records
* Directly attributable to the project
* Personnel time must be documented and submitted with the
				  appropriate form
* Performed or provided within the contracted period
* Personnel salary or in-kind labor cannot be derived from
				  any other federally assisted program and cannot be paid by the federal
				  government under another award.
The federal Coastal Zone Management Act predetermines match
				  requirements.

Applications must be submitted with a profile form, proposal,
				  other required forms, and supporting documentation as described in the detailed
				  CIG application instructions located on the DNR-CRD website.
Pre-Application Process:
Following
				  the submittal of the pre-application, the CZM Grants Specialist will schedule
				  the Pre-Application Review Team, which may be comprised of Coastal Zone
				  Management (CZM) Technical Assistance staff; the CZM Program Manager; and CRD
				  Habitat, Fisheries, Shellfish, and/or Education and Outreach staff. The Team
				  will review and competitively rank the pre-applications based on 1)
				  applicability to the GCMP mission, goals, and policies, 2) a demonstrated
				  coastal management need, 3) clear project goals, 4) budget soundness, 5) an
				  applicant's past performance, and 6) relationship to other federal funding.
				  Selected applicants will be invited to submit a full application.
Full Application Process:
Upon
				  selection of the pre-applications, the CZM Grants Specialist will schedule the
				  CIG Technical Review Committee, which is comprised of five (5) coastal
				  community professionals from the following fields: state resource management,
				  local government, non-governmental organization, academia, and
				  citizen-at-large. The Committee will review and preliminarily score the
				  applications based on the criteria provided in Sections
				  391-2-5-.17 and
				  391-2-5-.18. The Committee will
				  consider the applications in a roundtable forum from highest to lowest
				  preliminary score. After careful consideration, final ranking will be
				  determined by consensus. Full applications that are recommended for funding by
				  the Committee will be included in the DNR application for annual funding from
				  the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) GCMP CZM Grant. NOAA
				  makes the final review and approval of all CIG sub-grants. All applicants will
				  be notified of the Committee's recommendation by April 26, 2024. All applicants
				  will be notified of final NOAA approval by August 30, 2024.
Late, incomplete, and ineligible pre- and full applications
				  will be returned to the applicant. Unsuccessful applicants may contact the CZM
				  Grants Specialist within 30 days of pre- or full application notification to
				  discuss reason(s) for denial.

Current through Rules and Regulations filed
				through June 27, 2024
(1)
General:
In order to prevent
				the excessive buildup of air contaminant concentrations during an Air Pollution
				Episode great enough to cause danger to the public health, the Director will
				proclaim that an Air Pollution Episode exists when the accumulation of air
				contaminants in any place is attaining or has attained levels which could, if
				such levels are sustained or exceeded, lead to a substantial threat to the
				health of persons in the specific area affected. The proclamation of an Air
				Pollution Episode can be for a specific, limited area affected by certain
				emissions. In making this determination, the Director will be guided by the
				following criteria:
(a)
Alert
:
				The Director will proclaim that an Air Pollution Alert exists when any one of
				the following air contaminant concentrations is measured at any monitoring site
				and meteorological conditions are such that pollutant concentrations can be
				expected to remain at these levels for 12 or more hours or can be expected to
				increase, or, for ozone, when the situation is likely to recur within the next
				24 hours:
1. Sulfur Dioxide - 800 micrograms
				per cubic meter (0.3 parts per million), 24-hour average.
2. Particulate Matter 10 microns or less
				(PM10) - 350 micrograms per cubic meter, 24-hour
				average.
3. Particulate Matter 2.5
				microns or less (PM2.5) - 150 micrograms per cubic
				meter, 24-hour average.
4. Carbon
				Monoxide - 17 milligrams per cubic meter (15 parts per million), 8-hour
				average.
5. Ozone
				(O3) - 170 parts per billion, 8-hour average.
6. Nitrogen Dioxide
(i) 1130 micrograms per cubic meter (1.2
				parts per million), 1-hour average.
(ii) 282 micrograms per cubic meter (0.3
				parts per million), 24-hour average.
