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)) (RESTORE Act) 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 ten (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 Funded Priorities List 3b, which is available on 
the Council's website at https://www.restorethegulf.gov/funded-priorities-list-3b, RESTORE Act funds in the amount of $11,971,250 to 
implement the Gulf of Mexico Coast Conservation Corps (GulfCorps) 
Program will be provided through an interagency agreement (IAA) with 
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Restoration 
Center of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The GulfCorps program 
supports the primary RESTORE Comprehensive Plan goal of restoring and 
conserving habitat. Under the GulfCorps Interagency Agreement, the NOAA 
Restoration Center will provide a subaward in the amount of $11,321,250 
to The Nature Conservancy (TNC), a non-profit organization.
    Through the TNC subaward, GulfCorps organizations in each Gulf 
state will recruit, train, employ and help to inspire hundreds of young 
adults to produce habitat restoration benefits and become the Gulf of 
Mexico's future restoration workforce. GulfCorps will continue to 
collaborate with State, Federal and local agencies, and non-profit 
organizations to manage natural resources and implement restoration, 
conservation and resilience projects.

General Counsel.
