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. EPA will provide a subaward in the amount of $259,766 to Woodlands 
Conservancy for the restoration and enhancement of habitat for resident 
& migratory birds in the Woodlands Conservancy lands located in St. 
Bernard Parish within the Barataria Basin, in the State of Louisiana.
