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 only if certain notice requirements are met. Specifically, at least 30 days before the State or Federal 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 satisfies the Federal Register requirement.
Description of Proposed Action
As specified in the Initial FPL, which is available on the Council's website at https://www.restorethegulf.gov/council-selected-restoration-component/funded-priorities-list, RESTORE Act funds in the amount of $2,472,917 will support the GMCEGP interagency agreement with EPA.
