GULF COAST ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION COUNCIL

[Docket No.: 105042015-1111-02]


Council Member Summary Notice of Application Process for Council-
Selected Restoration Component Projects and Programs

AGENCY: Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council (Council).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice explains the two-phase submission and application 
process for RESTORE Council members to receive funding under the 
Council-Selected Restoration Component of the RESTORE Act.

DATES: These provisions are effective upon publication in the Federal 
Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Pleffner, Council, telephone 
number: 813-995-2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 33 U.S.C. 1321(t)(2) of the Resource 
and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, and Revived 
Economies of the Gulf Coast States Act of 2012 (RESTORE Act), the Gulf 
Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council (Council) will fund and implement 
projects and programs to restore and protect the natural resources, 
ecosystems, fisheries, marine and wildlife habitats, beaches, and 
coastal wetlands of the Gulf Coast region pursuant to a published 
Funded Priorities List (FPL).\1\ The Council published the ``Council 
Member Proposal Submission Guidelines for Comprehensive Plan Funded 
Priorities List of Projects and Programs'' on its Web site on August 
21, 2014. This document contains overarching submission guidelines for 
Council member agencies and States to submit projects and programs for 
possible inclusion on the FPL. The Council will periodically request 
proposals from its eleven State and Federal members in order to develop 
further FPLs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The FPL will be a supplement to the previously published 
Initial Comprehensive Plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To receive funding under the Council-Selected Restoration Component 
of the RESTORE Act, Council members must take part in a two-phase 
submission and application process. Both phases of the submission and 
application process must be completed before a member will receive an 
official award from the Council and be able to receive grant funding.

    In the first phase, projects and programs must be selected for 
inclusion on the FPL. The Council members are the only entities 
eligible to submit proposals for the FPL. The Council will select 
projects and programs for inclusion in the FPL using the review and 
selection process described in the ``Council Member Proposal Submission 
Guidelines for Comprehensive Plan Funded Priorities List of Projects 
and Programs.'' The Council will then publish the draft FPL, accept and 
respond to public comments, and publish the final FPL as an addendum to 
the Initial Comprehensive Plan.
    After publication of the final FPL, the second phase of the 
application process begins by requiring the submission of a full grant 
application or interagency agreement for each individual project or 
program by the Council member who is designated as the primary 
recipient. This second phase, the grant application phase, is not 
competitive. After a project or program has been selected under phase 
1, the actual grant awards (with State Council members) or interagency 
agreements (with Federal agency Council members) are entered into 
through the administrative process. The Council members are the only 
entities eligible to enter into grant awards or interagency agreements. 
All State Council member projects or programs selected for funding 
under the FPL must apply for a grant to implement the project or 
program described in the proposal. All Federal agency Council member 
projects or proposals selected for funding under the FPL must work with 
the Council to create an Interagency Agreement.
    Detailed information about the grant application phase process will 
be published at a later date. Example forms and documents that may be 
required in the full grant application package are listed below:
     Standard Forms (SF-424 family);
     Council-specific forms;
     Detailed Project Narrative;
     Detailed Budget Narrative;
     Organizational Risk Assessment;
     Council and Government-wide Certifications; and
     Environmental Compliance Documentation, as applicable.
