Opportunity Information: Apply for GR RDC 17 003
The RESTORE Act Direct Component - Real Property Activities grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number GR RDC 17 003) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of the Treasury under the RESTORE Act Program (CFDA 21.015). It is funded through the Gulf Coast Restoration Trust Fund, which was created by the Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, and Revived Economies of the Gulf Coast States Act of 2012 (RESTORE Act), Subtitle F of P.L. 112-141. The Trust Fund receives 80 percent of civil penalties paid after July 6, 2012 under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act that are tied to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and those amounts are deposited and invested to support long-term recovery and revitalization efforts.
This particular notice is narrowly focused: it applies only to the RESTORE Act "Direct Component" and only to applications involving eligible real property activities. In other words, it is intended for projects where the core activity involves real property (for example, acquiring or otherwise carrying out eligible actions tied to land or interests in land) as authorized under the RESTORE Act. The announcement also makes an important boundary clear: applicants who are pursuing eligible activities that are primarily non-construction, construction, or are seeking RESTORE funding to serve as the non-federal match for another federally funded grant (whether construction, non-construction, or real property) are expected to use the separate, appropriate funding opportunity notice that matches those purposes rather than this one.
Eligible applicants are limited to state governments and county governments, reflecting the Direct Component structure that channels funds to Gulf Coast jurisdictions. Award details in the source data indicate an award ceiling of $65,460,782, with the original closing date listed as June 5, 2017, and a creation date of January 18, 2017. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the program activity focus is categorized under environment, natural resources, and other related areas.
The program’s eligible uses of funds are broad and are aimed at environmental restoration and economic recovery across the Gulf Coast region. Eligible activities include: restoring and protecting natural resources and ecosystems (including fisheries, marine and wildlife habitats, beaches, and coastal wetlands); mitigating damage to fish, wildlife, and natural resources; implementing federally approved marine, coastal, or comprehensive conservation management plans (including fisheries monitoring); workforce development and job creation; improvements to or on state parks in coastal areas affected by the spill; infrastructure projects that benefit the economy or ecological resources (including port infrastructure); coastal flood protection and related infrastructure; planning assistance; administrative costs; promotion of tourism in the Gulf Coast region (including recreational fishing); and promotion of consumption of seafood harvested from the Gulf Coast region. A core geographic rule applies across most activities: eligible activities must be carried out in the Gulf Coast region, with limited exceptions noted in the notice for planning assistance and seafood consumption promotion.
Taken together, this funding opportunity is essentially a targeted pathway within the RESTORE Act framework for state and county governments to seek Direct Component funds specifically for qualifying real property-related actions that advance Gulf Coast ecological restoration, resilience, and regional economic revitalization following the Deepwater Horizon spill.Apply for GR RDC 17 003
