SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 1321(t)(2)(E)(ii)(III) of the
Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, and
Revived Economies Act of 2012 (33 U.S.C. 1321(t) and note) (RESTORE
Act) and the Department of the Treasury's implementing regulation at 31
CFR 34.401(b) set forth certain notice and publication requirements.
They require that for purposes of awards made under the Comprehensive
Plan Component of the RESTORE Act, a State or Federal award recipient
may make a 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 at least 30 days before the State or
Federal award recipient enters into such an agreement, the Council
publishes in the Federal Register and delivers 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
publication requirement.
Description of Proposed Action
As specified in FPL 3b, which is available on the Council's website
at <a href="https://www.restorethegulf.gov/FPL3b">https://www.restorethegulf.gov/FPL3b</a>, RESTORE Act funds in the
amount of $24,000,000 will support the Texas Land Acquisition for
Coastal Conservation Award to the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality (TCEQ). Under the Texas Land Acquisition for Coastal
Conservation Award, TCEQ will provide a subaward in the amount of
$6,000,000 to The Coastal Prairie Conservancy (CPC), a non-profit
organization, to acquire in fee simple 2,500 acres adjacent to the
Justin Hurst Wildlife Management Area. Immediately after the purchase,
CPC will transfer the title of the property to the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department (TPWD) and TPWD will place a conservation easement
on the property that will be held by CPC.
