Component Award

AGENCY: Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council (Council) 
publishes notice of a proposed subaward from the U.S. Department of 
Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 
Restoration Center to The Nature Conservancy (TNC), a nonprofit 
organization, for the purpose of establishing the Gulf Coast 
Conservation Corps (GulfCorps) program to support meaningful Gulf of 
Mexico Habitat Restoration via Conservation Corps Partnerships as 
approved in the Initial Funded Priority List (FPL).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please send questions by email to 
raams_pgmsupport@restorethegulf.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 1321(t)(2)(E)(ii)(III) of the 
RESTORE Act (33 U.S.C. 1321(t)(2)(E)(ii)(III)) and Treasury's 
implementing regulation at 31 CFR 34.401(b) require that, for purposes 
of awards made under the Council-Selected Restoration Component, a 
State or Federal award recipient may make a grant or subaward to or 
enter into a cooperative agreement with a nongovernmental entity that 
equals or exceeds 10 percent of the total amount of the award provided 
to the State or Federal award recipient only if certain notice 
requirements are met. Specifically, at least 30 days before the State 
or Federal award recipient enters into such an agreement, the Council 
must publish in the Federal Register and deliver to specified 
Congressional Committees the name of the recipient and subrecipient; a 
brief description of the activity, including its purpose; and the 
amount of the award. This notice accomplishes the Federal Register 
requirement.

Description of Proposed Action

    As specified in the Initial FPL, which is available on the 
Council's Web site at https://www.restorethegulf.gov/council-selected-restoration-component/funded-priorities-list, RESTORE Act funds will 
support the Gulf of Mexico Habitat Restoration via Conservation Corps 
Partnerships, which is also referred to as the GulfCorps program. 
Through an interagency agreement with NOAA in the amount of $7,500,000, 
the GulfCorps program will contribute to meaningful Gulf Coast 
ecosystem restoration, while economically benefiting coastal 
communities by providing education, training, and opportunities to 
workers to implement conservation projects. The GulfCorps program will 
help establish partnerships among Federal, State, academic, and non-
profit organizations to provide local labor for restoration projects; 
and will work through these partnerships to recruit, train, and employ 
workers to develop skills that will contribute to a local restoration-
based workforce.
    NOAA will coordinate development of the GulfCorps program in 
partnership with other Council members, as a means of creating a 
program that is reflective of Gulf priorities. NOAA will work within a 
collaborative process to prioritize projects with State partners and 
move forward on projects most supported by the respective State Council 
members, also considering synergies of pairing the GulfCorps program 
with other projects selected for the FPL, where appropriate. Through a 
proposed subaward to TNC in the amount of $7,000,000, TNC will recruit 
and train GulfCorps participants who will be mobilized to provide labor 
on selected coastal restoration projects in each Gulf State. Projects 
may include invasive species removal, shoreline protection and 
enhancement, riparian restoration, debris removal, re-vegetation, reef 
restoration, and habitat monitoring and conservation. TNC and their 
partners will provide training commensurate with the selected projects, 
as well as provide participants with soft skills that can help 
contribute to employability in restoration-based vocations.
