[[Page E36]]

  Account: DOJ/COPS Tech
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: County of Somerset
  Address of Requesting Entity: 300 North Center Avenue, Somerset, PA 
15501
  Description of Request/Justification of Federal Funding: $100,000 for 
Confluence Cellular Communication Tower Project
  It is my understanding that funding will be used to construct a 
cellular communications tower to provide mobile phone and radio 
communications along the Greater Allegheny Passage Trail.
  This project is a valuable use of taxpayer funds because the tower 
would make emergency communications available to law enforcement 
personnel, rangers, and trail users for critical incidents and 
emergencies.
