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 ten (10) percent of the total amount of the award provided
to the State or Federal award recipient only if certain notice

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

requirement.
Description of Proposed Action
As specified in the Initial Funded Priorities List, which is
available on the Council's website at Initial (2015) Funded Priorities
List [verbar] Restore The Gulf, RESTORE Act funds in the amount of
$2,472,917 to implement the Gulf of Mexico Conservation Enhancement
Grant Program (GMCEGP) will be provided through an interagency
agreement (IAA) with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The GMCEGP will support the primary RESTORE Comprehensive Plan goal of
restoring and conserving habitat. Under the GMCEGP Interagency
Agreement, EPA will provide subawards to non-profit organizations in
the amounts of $501,464 to the Atlanta Botanical Garden; $300,000 to
the Galveston Bay Foundation; $250,000 to the Nature Conservancy; and
$500,000 to the Partnership for Gulf Coast Land Conservation. Through
these subawards, the GMCEGP will: (1) Enhance land protection and
conservation in priority landscapes, (2) improve habitats and water
quality; and (3) enhance the understanding of the benefit of land
protection to communities through focused outreach and education
supporting conservation and stewardship.
