RE: FY 2015 Regional Coastal Resilience Grants Program
Dear Ms. Warr:
Please accept this letter of support for and collaboration with the project titled "Envisioning Oregon's Coastal Futures: Co-developing resilient coastlines" under the direction of PI Peter Ruggiero at Oregon State University for consideration by NOAA's FY 2015 Regional Coastal Resilience Grants Program.
Through sustained engagement with Oregon Coastal Knowledge-to-Action Networks, the investigators propose to co-develop, with representatives from Tillamook County and others, a scenario modeling tool (Envision) to explore adaptation strategies for increasing resilience to coastal hazards including both acute (tsunami induced) and chronic (climate controlled) hazards. In recently completed pilot efforts in Tillamook County, Oregon, Envision has proven its ability to stimulate decision makers to think deeply and interact productively regarding the decisions they have to make and the potential impacts of those decisions regarding resilience to evolving coastal hazards. Therefore, the proposed work has significant implications for future land use planning in all of Oregon's coastal counties.
Tillamook County supports this proposal and plans on participating in the Knowledgeto-Action Networks for several reasons. First, the level of engagement between Ruggiero and his team and stakeholders such as ourselves has been very productive in recent years and we look forward to assisting in the co-development of useable decision support tools. We have an urgent need along the Oregon coast for projections of the evolving probability of coastal inundation and erosion, and the associated evolving community vulnerability due to development patterns, climate change and variability, and tsunami hazards. We are particularly concerned about the
.~ EQLAL OPPORTUNITY E:\;IPLOYER
Lisa Warr July 15, 2015 Page 2
uncertainty of future climate change impacts on coastal hazards and the implications to coastal development, the built environment, and the economies of our rural communities. Finally, we are excited about the application of the decision support tool "Envision" to our coastal communities to help us envision future scenarios, assess impacts, and initiate adaptation strategies over the next several decades to increase our resilience.

Goals and Objectives: The goal of the proposed work is to combine deep stakeholder engagement, a powerful alternative futures modeling framework, and the robust evaluation of policy and coastal hazard scenarios to inform decision-making and increase resilience within the communities of Oregon's seven coastal counties (Figure 1). Our specific research objectives are as follows:
Objective 1 (Process): Build coastal 'Knowledge to Action Networks' consisting of collaborative teams of stakeholders, researchers, and outreach specialists who will coproduce knowledge, information, and tools to develop climate/tsunami-resilient strategies in Oregon's coastal counties.

Objective 2 (Modeling): Envision future scenarios, quantitatively assess impacts and associated evolving community and ecosystem resilience using an established multi-agent model specifically designed to allow exploration of the interactive dynamics and feedbacks of coupled natural and human systems in a spatially explicit, scenario-driven, policy-centric framework.
Objective 3 (Risk Communication): Develop the 'Coastal Resilience Explorer' to engage both the public and key decision makers for building adaptive capacity for community resilience at a regional, and transferable, scale.
Background and Motivation: Sea level rise (SLR), changing storminess patterns, and development have exposed Oregon's coastal communities to increased chronic coastal change and flooding hazards. Several Oregon communities are at high risk from these hazards and local decision makers lack tools for developing adaptive capacity to reduce vulnerability, particularly under climate change. People in the state want to understand the drivers and the impacts of change, and they need to develop climate-resilient adaptation strategies. Oregon is also exposed to one of the most extreme acute coastal hazards in the world, that of a major subduction zone. A large magnitude earthquake along this fault will trigger a tsunami wave over I 0 m high, which will hit the PNW coast within 30 minutes. Appropriately planning for this catastrophic hazard can save thousands of lives and millions of dollars.
Several sectors (local community groups, land use planners, emergency managers) have begun to define responses for both chronic and acute coastal hazards. Ideally, these responses will result in improved ability of coastal jurisdictions to prepare for, absorb impacts of, recover from, and/or adapt to adverse events and changing conditions. For example, some of these groups want to evaluate the costs and benefits of maintaining relatively modest rip rap revetments, constructing coastal barriers, supporting perpetual beach nourishment programs, restoring sand dune stabilizing vegetation (green infrastructure), or migrating infrastructure inland (managed retreat). They have expressed their wish to engage with experts to begin envisioning possible coastal futures at time scales of years to decades. Through sustained engagement with Coastal Knowledge-to-Action Networks (KTANs), we propose to co-develop a scenario modeling tool (Envision) to explore adaptation strategies for

Envision has proven its ability to stimulate decision makers to think deeply and interact productively regarding the decisions they have to make and the potential impacts of those decisions. For example, in pilot efforts we have compared combinations of several climate change and policy scenarios through various landscape metrics identified as important by stakeholders. Figure 2 gives results of one example metric, the tax assessed value of property in Tillamook County, OR impacted by flooding, under six policy scenarios (colors indicate scenario) and under a range of climate impact scenarios (sea level rise, changing patterns of storminess, increases/decreases in El Niiio frequency).
Outputs and Outcomes: Specific outcomes from this project that will reduce risk to coastal hazards by increasing resilience include:
• A suite of climate/tsunami-resilient policies for guiding future development along the Oregon coast- codeveloped by our KTANs to be feasible and implementable at the county and state level.
o A dynamic assessment of community exposure to tsunami hazards under multiple population growth and development scenarios.
• A methodology for projecting the evolving probability of extreme climate change-driven total water levels (TWLs) for inclusion in regional-scale coastal vulnerability and adaptation planning analyses.
• Incorporation of a newly developed bio-economic model into our alternative future modeling designed to maximize return on infrastructure investments, generating results leading to an understanding of many of the potential co-benefits related to nature-based (green) infrastructure designed for coastline stabilization.

FULL ANNOUNCEMENT TEXT
I. Funding Opportunity Description
A. Program Objective
The objectives of the Regional Coastal Resilience Grants program, administered by NOAA's National Ocean Service, are to support actions that build resilience of U.S. communities and existing and emerging economic sectors, and to do so using regional approaches. In addition, NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service is administering a complementary FY2015 Coastal Ecosystem Resilience Grants program to support implementation of actions that build resilience of U.S. coastal and ocean ecosystems. Together, these companion programs are intended to address increasing risk associated with extreme weather events, climate hazards, and changing ocean conditions by supporting activities that are critical to our nation's economy and NOAA's mission to safeguard people and infrastructure, facilitate commerce, and conserve and restore coastal and marine
resources.
Our nation's economy is inextricably linked to the health and productivity of our coasts. Revenue from maritime commerce, commercial fishing, aquaculture and tourism all contribute to diverse and healthy coastal economies. Coastal counties contribute $6.6 trillion, or just under half of the country's gross domestic product. to the U.S. economy and are home
to almost 40 percent of the U.S. population. Extreme weather events, climate hazards, and changing ocean conditions all have significant impacts on coastal communities and our national economy. Because of their location within low-lying areas, coastal infrastructure (e.g. roads, drainage systems, treatment systems, ports, small harbors, parks, docks, marinas, piers, and other public infrastructure) and businesses are highly vulnerable and particularly susceptible. Between 2010 and 2014, NOAA documented 41 narural disasters in the United States caused by floods, severe storms, and tropical cyclones with losses exceeding $1 billion (CPI-Adjusted) with 68% (28) of those events impacting coastal states. On just the east and Gulf coasts of the U.S. alone, the insured value and cost to replace residential and commercial structures tops S8.9 trillion. In addition, the U.S. coastal population is projected to grow by 8% by 2020 (increasing by 10 million for a total population of approximately 134 million) resulting in increasing demand on natural areas and ocean resources for commercial activities (e.g. marine transportation, tourism, energy, etc), recreation, and food from fishing
and aquaculrure.
In light of these threats, developing and implementing actions that build coastal
3
community resilience makes economic sense and promotes security. This program is intended to encourage actions that provide both economic and environmental co-benefits for
communities. It is well understood that healthy coastal ecosystems contribute to healthy coastal economies and the two cannot be effectively addressed in isolation. As such, actions to build resilience that provide both economic and environmental benefits are likely to be highly effective in building resilience of coastal communities. Another primary objective of
this program is to support development and implementation of regional approaches to building resilience of coastal communities. The complexity involved in building resilience often requires information, knowledge, and skills that are distributed across a diverse group of organizations and sectors. Thus, in the context of this program a regional approach to implementing resilience strategies is expected to be highly collaborative. The approach
involves leveraging resources and mechanisms (human, financial, data/information, programs, partnerships), builds coordination across jurisdictions and/or sectors and results in new or additional local capabilities and capacity across a broad geographic area. The geographic scale for a regional approach may be multi-state, multi-county, multi-city/town, or multi-site.
Proposals for this competition should address specific, identified needs of coastal communities (i.e., hazard mitigation, climate adaptation, disaster redevelopment, land and ocean use, watershed plans, etc.). Appropriate activities to build community resilience may include, but are not limited to, developing or implementing plans, policies, regulations, guidelines and incentives that enhance community preparedness, recovery, or adaptation to extreme weather, climate hazards, and/or changing ocean conditions.
Funds will be available to support activities that:
Identify and address priority data, information, and capacity gaps
Develop tools, as needed, to inform sound, science-based decisions, which support regional efforts to plan for a resilient ocean and coastal economy
- Acquire and integrate socioeconomic information with physical and biological information to improve the assessment of risk and vulnerability for planning and decision making
Understand how hazards and changing ocean conditions affect coastal economies, including existing and emerging sectors that depend on the ocean and coasts
- Develop the information and approaches needed for improved risk communication,
4
and the necessary tools, technical assistance and training tailored toward enhanced resilience to weather events, climate hazards, and changing ocean conditions
- Evaluate the costs, benefits, and tradeoffs of systems-based development or redevelopment approaches that incorporate both natural defenses and hard structural
solutions
- Support the development of sustainable recovery, redevelopment, and adaptation
plans and implement programs and projects that incentivize rebuilding and development approaches which reduce risk and increase resilience
Proposed activities which are location-specific must demonstrate broader geographic impact across the specified region. For example, projects seeking funding for location or site specific planning, redesign, or construction of infrastructure (natural, nature-based or
otherwise) to enhance coastal community preparedness, recovery or adaptation are eligible
and will be evaluated based upon the extent to which they have broader geographic impact. Appropriate activities for extending geographic impact may include but are not limited to the
development of integrated information products, tools, training, or risk communication and outreach. Proposals seeking funding for restoration of habitat primarily for the purpose of ocean and coastal ecosystem resilience (e.g. wetland restoration, dam removal) are discouraged under this announcement, but instead, should consider applying for funding through the Coastal Ecosystem Resilience Grants program administered by NOAA's
National Marine Fisheries Service.
B. Program Priorities
This announcement solicits proposals that will result in increased resilience through the development or implementation of plans or actions that improve preparedness, and/or promote recovery and/or adaptation within multiple coastal jurisdictions or locations.
Projects/proposals are expected to:
result in increased resilience of coastal communities through regional activities that reduce current and potential future risk associated with extreme weather events, climate hazards, and changing ocean conditions; increase capacity to recover from adverse events; and/or increase capacity to effectively adapt to adverse events;
5
employ a regional approach that engages appropriate stakeholders and
demonstrates collaboration and leveraging of resources;
result in increased access to and/or understanding of information for decision makers regarding current and future environmental, economic, and social conditions and/or increased capacity to incorporate this type of information into decision/rule making across
the project area.
Priority will be given to projects that:
1) focus on resilience strategies that address land and ocean use, development, resource management, resource protection, hazard mitigation, pre-disaster recovery, or other similar plans. This includes the creation of new tools, training, workshops, or other resources
that build capacity of decision makers or practitioners;
2) leverage available resources (such as programs, plans, partnerships, tools and trainings across government, industry, and NGOs) and/or leverage Federal funding with direct or in-kind match from non-Federal sources;
3) evaluate project results using clear measure(s) of success and monitor longer-term effectiveness of employed strategies where appropriate. The collection of additional data or information for monitoring effectiveness is eligible; however, only for the duration of the award's period of performance. If data collection is proposed, applicants are encouraged to plan for longer-term data management needs in coordination with NOAA, as described in section 4.1.A of this announcement.
C. Program Authority
Statutory authority for this program is provided under Section 310 of the Coastal Zone Management Act (16 U.S.C. l456c) (titled ·Technical Assistance").
II. Award Information
A. Funding Availability
Total anticipated funding for all awards is up to $5,000,000 for FY2015. Within this amount, we anticipate funding approximately 5-l 0 awards. The maximum amount that may be requested for the Federal share of each proposal is $1,000,000 and the minimum that may be requested is $500,000. The amount of funding per project will depend on the size, location, and type of project. There is no limit on the number of proposals from any
6
geographic area or jurisdiction.
The exact amount of funds for each award will be determined in pre-award negotiations
between the applicant and NOAA representatives. Applicants must be in good standing with
all existing NOAA grants in order to receive funds.
Proposals not funded in the current fiscal period may be considered for funding in another fiscal period without NOAA repeating the competitive process outlined in this
announcement.
B. Project/ Award Period
Applicants may submit applications with a period of performance of up to 36 months from the anticipated start date. For FY 2015 awards, the anticipated start date for a given project may be as early as November 1, 2015 or as late as January I, 2016. The start date must be the first day of the month.
Pre-award costs are generally unallowable, however, pre-award costs may be considered during pre-award negotiations between the applicant and NOAA. Incurring pre-award costs before NOAA GMD provides an award document is at the applicant's own risk.
Proposals not funded in the current fiscal period may be considered for funding in another fiscal period without NOAA repeating the competitive process outlined in this announcement.
C. Type of Funding Instrument
The funding instrument for these awards may be a grant or cooperative agreement. In the case of a cooperative agreement, NOAA will have substantial involvement in the project. Examples of substantial Federal involvement may include: acquiring, increasing access to, and building capacity of partners to use data, tools, and established policies or management practices; convening partners; or providing expertise in meeting planning, facilitation, and development of spatial databases, models and information analyses. If NOAA is proposed
7
as a partner in a cooperative agreement, the applicant must clearly identify this funding instrument in the proposal summary and cover sheet and clearly articulate the roles and responsibilities of NOAA and each partner in implementing the project. The specific roles
and responsibilities will depend on negotiation with the Federal agency and will be formalized as part of the cooperative agreement for successful proposals.
111. Eligibility Information
A. Eligible Applicants
Eligible funding applicants are: regional organizations (see III.C for explanation), nonprofit organizations, private (for-profit) entities, institutions of higher education, and state, territorial, tribal, and local governments as defmed at 2 C.F.R. § 200.64, which includes counties, municipalities, and cities. To be eligible under this competition, applicants must conduct projects benefiting coastal communities in one or more of the following U.S. states and territories: Alabama, Alaska, American Samoa, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Guam, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Northern Mariana Islands, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Virgin Islands (U.S.), Washington, and Wisconsin.
Applications from individuals, federal agencies, or employees of federal agencies will not be considered, but these entities may serve as collaborative project partners. If federal agencies are collaborators, applicants must provide detail on the expected level of federal engagement in the application. Examples might include, but are not limited to a partnership role serving in a review capacity; or participating in priority task teams, working groups, or leadership teams.
The lead applicant on any proposal will be responsible for ensuring that allocated funds are used for the purposes ot: and in a manner consistent with, this program, including any funds awarded to an eligible sub-awardee.
B. Cost Sharing or Matching Requirement
Federal funds awarded under this program must be matched with non-Federal funds (through cash or in-kind services) at a 2:1 ratio of Federal-to-non-Federal contributions. For example, a project requesting $500,000 in Federal funding, the award recipient would need
8
to provide $250,000 in non-Federal matching contributions, for a total project budget of
$750,000.
C. Other Criteria that Affect Eligibility
For the purpose of eligibility under this announcement, regional organizations are considered entities that operate at a multi-state, multi-county, or multi-city/town scale, such as regional ocean partnerships or councils of government, for example, provided that they may receive and expend Federal funds. If a regional organization is not eligible to receive and expend Federal funds as a legal entity, the organization may partner with an eligible legal entity to apply for funding. Tribal governments include all Native American tribal governments (both Federally-recognized tribes and those tribes that are not Federally-recognized). Tribal governments are encouraged to work on a multi-site scale that builds resilience across the tribal jurisdiction but are not required to work with other tribes on a cross tribal scale. Foreign governments are not eligible to apply for funding under this
announcement.

Information must include the name and location (city, state, and Congressional district) of the entity receiving the funds and the location of the primary place of performance under the contract or subaward.
b. Letters of Collaboration. All supporting letters from partner organizations that
13
are instrumental to the project shall be included in the application package. Letters should clearly indicate the level of commitment and/or collaboration. Letters of collaboration do not
need original signatures.
c. Resumes. Provide resumes of the Principal Investigator for the project and other key personnel critical to the success of the project. Ensure that resumes address qualifications relevant to conducting the proposed work. Please limit resumes to a maximum
of two pages for each key investigator.
d. Data Sharing Plan. Environmental data and information, collected and/or created under NOAA grants/cooperative agreements must be made visible, accessible, and independently understandable to general users, free of charge or at minimal cost, in a timely manner (typically no later than two years after the data are collected or created), except where limited by law, regulation, policy or by security requirements.
1. A Data/Information Sharing Plan of no more than two pages shall be required as
part of the Project Narrative. A typical plan may include the types of environmental data and
information to be created during the course of the project; the tentative date by which data will be shared; the standards to be used for data/metadata format and content; policies addressing data stewardship and preservation; procedures for providing access, data, and security (e.g. a plan for maintaining such access beyond the award's period of performance); and prior experience in publishing such data. Coordination with NOAA in the development of the Data/Information Sharing Plan is encouraged to identifY broader applicability of data. The Data/Information Sharing Plan will be reviewed as part of the NOAA Standard Evaluation Criteria, Item l -- Importance and/or Relevance and Applicability of Proposed Project to the Mission Goals.
2. The Data/Information Sharing Plan (and any subsequent revisions or updates) will be made publicly available at time of award and, thereafter, will be posted with the
published data.
3. Failing to share environmental data and information in accordance with the submitted Data/Information Sharing Plan may lead to disallowed costs and be considered by NOAA when making future award decisions.
Pis must indicate how and when they have made their data accessible and usable by the community in the past.

e. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Environmental Compliance-- Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), NOAA must analyze the potential environmental impacts of projects or proposals seeking funding from NOAA.
After the application is submitted, NOAA may require additional information to fulfill NEPA and other compliance requirements. If NOAA determines that an environmental assessment is required, applicants may also be requested to assist in drafting the assessment. Applicants may also be required to cooperate with NOAA in identifying and implementing feasible measures to reduce or avoid any identified adverse environmental impacts of their
proposal. The failure to do so shall be grounds for the denial of an application. In some cases
if additional information is required after an application is selected, funds can be withheld by the Grants Ofticer under a special award condition requiring the recipient to submit additional environmental compliance information sufficient to enable NOAA to make an assessment on any impacts that a project may have on the environment.
The applicants selected for funding must complete sections A, B, C, D, E, and F of the Environmental Compliance Questionnaire for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Federal Financial Assistance Applicants ("NEPA Questionnaire") (OMB Approval No.: 0648-0538) http:llwww.nepa.noaa.govlquestionnaire.pdfto provide detailed
information on the activities to be conducted, locations, sites, species and habitat to be affected, possible construction activities, and any environmental concerns that may exist (e.g., the use and disposal of hazardous or toxic chemicals, introduction of non-indigenous species, impacts to endangered and threatened species, aquaculture projects, and impacts to coral reef systems). Sections G, and Hare not required with the initial application because NOAA anticipates that most projects funded through this competition would not have impacts related to damage assessment and restoration or fisheries sampling and analysis.
Detailed information on NOAA compliance with NEPA can be found at the following NOAA NEPA websites: http:llwww.nepa.noaa.govl including NOAA Administrative Order 216-6 for NEPA, http:llwww.nepa.noaa.gov/NA0216_6.pdfand the Council on Environmental Quality implementation regulations http:llceq.hss.doe.govlceq_regulationslregulations.html or http :I I coast. noaa. gov I funding/ _pdfiCEQ%20Regulations %20 for%20 Imp lementing%20the% 20Procedural %20Provisions%20of"/o20NEP A.pdf?redirect=30 I ocm

B. Review and Selection Process
Screening, review, and selection procedures will take place in three steps: 1) an initial
screening by competition program staff within NOAA's Office for Coastal Management; 2) a
merit review; and 3) final selection by the Selecting Official (i.e., Director of the Office for
Coastal Management or the Director's designee). The merit review step will involve at least
three reviewers per application. The Selecting Official will make the final decision regarding
which applications will be funded based on the numerical ranking of the applications, the
evaluations by the merit reviewers, and the selection factors set in V.C., below.
21
I. Initial Screening. The initial screening will ensure that application packages have all required forms and application elements and meet all of the eligibility criteria. Applications that pass this initial screening will be submitted for merit review.
2. Merit Review. Eligible applications for this competition will be evaluated in accordance with the criteria and weights described in this solicitation by at least three
independent peer reviewers through an independent peer mail review and/or an independent peer panel. Each reviewer will independently evaluate each project and provide an individual
score. Both Federal and non-Federal experts may be used in this process. No consensus advice will be given by the independent peer reviewers through mail reviews or on the review panels. If a panel is convened, the panel will be comprised of subject matter experts and may convene in person or by teleconference, video conference or electronic means. The merit reviewer's ratings are used to produce a rank order of the proposals.
3. Final Selection. The competition program staff will create a ranking of the proposals to be recommended for funding using the average merit review or panel review scores, if a panel review is conducted. The reviewer comments, composite project scores, rank order, and a summary of the concerns (if any) identified through the mail and/or panel review process along with information from the competition manager pertaining to selection factors (see below) will be presented to the Selecting Official.
Based on the numerical ranking, merit review written evaluations, and the additional selection factors described below, the Selecting Official will develop a list of projects
recommended for funding. Please note that not all activities submitted under a single proposal may be deemed appropriate for funding, and the Selecting Official may recommend only partial funding, based on the merit and/or panel review written evaluations. For a proposal to be selected for funding, the applicant may be asked to modify objectives, work plans, and budgets, and to provide supplemental information required by the agency prior to the award. When a decision has been made (whether an award or declination), anonymous copies of mail merit review comments or summaries of panel deliberations, can be made available to the applicant upon request.
C. Selection Factors
The final panel ratings shall provide a rank order to the Selecting Official for final
22
funding recommendations. The competition manager will make recommendations to the Selecting Official applying the selection factors below. The Selecting Official shall award in the rank order unless the proposal is justified to be selected out of rank order based upon one
or more of the following factors:
I. Availability of funding.
2. Balance/distribution of funds:
a. Geographically.
b. By type of institutions
c. By type of partners.
d. By research areas.
e. By project types.
3. Whether this project duplicates other projects funded or considered for funding by
NOAA or other Federal agencies.
4. Program priorities and policy factors as described in section I of this federal funding
opportunity.
5. Applicant's prior award performance.
6. Partnerships and/or Participation of targeted groups.
7. Adequacy of information necessary for NOAA staff to make a NEPA determination and draft necessary documentation before recommendations for funding are made to the Grants Officer.
The Selecting Official or designee may negotiate the funding level of the proposal.
D. Anticipated Announcement and Award Dates
NOAA anticipates that most grants will have a start date of November I, 2015 or December I, 2015 dependent on funding availability, the completion of all NOAA/applicant negotiations, NEPA analysis, and documentation supporting cooperative agreement activities.

2. Please note that on December 26, 2013, OMB published final guidance titled Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements
(Uniform Guidance), which streamlines the language from eight existing OMB circulars, including Cost Principles (OMB Circulars A-21, A-87, A-122) and administrative requirements (OMB Circulars A-1 02 and A-ll 0), into one consolidated set of guidance applicable to federal assistance awards. Note that the Uniform Guidance supersedes DOC's uniform administrative requirements set out at 15 C.F.R. parts 14 and 24. In accordance with the Federal Register notice published on December 19, 2014 (79 FR 75871) and the regulation at 2 C.F.R. 1327.101, the DOC adopted the Uniform Guidance, codified at 2 C.F.R. Part 200, effective December 26, 2014, which means that the guidance applies to all new awards and may apply to additional funding to existing awards made on or after December 26,2014. In addition, the audit requirements of the Uniform Guidance apply to audits of non-Federal entities beginning on or after December 26, 2014. Therefore, applicants should familiarize themselves with 2 C.F.R. Part 200, which may be tound at http://www .gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR -20 14-title2-voll/pdf/CFR-20 14-title2-vol1-subtitleA-ch apii-subchap-id302.pdf. Additional information on the substance of and transition to the
24
Uniform Guidance may be found at https://cfo.gov/cofar/.
3. Limitation of Liability
There is no guarantee that funds will be available to make awards for this federal
funding opportunity or that any proposal will be selected for funding. If an applicant incurs any costs prior to receiving an award agreement signed by an authorized NOAA Grants Officer, they do so at their own risk of these costs not being included in a subsequent award. In no event will NOAA or the Department of Commerce be responsible for any proposal preparation costs. Recipients and sub-recipients are subject to all federal laws and agency policies, regulations, and procedures applicable to federal financial assistance awards. Applicants must be in good standing with all existing NOAA grants and/or cooperative funding agreements in order to receive funds. Publication of this announcement does not oblige NOAA to award any specific project, obligate any available funds, or provide special
fishing privileges.
The NOAA program office reserves the right to immediately halt activity under the award if the recipient is not fultilling the requirements of the project as outlined in the grant award. Non-compliance with a federally approved project may result in termination of the
award.
4. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). See the NEPA information in Section IV. B.4.e of this announcement.
5. Unpaid or delinquent tax liability.
In accordance with current Federal appropriations law, NOAA will provide a successful corporate applicant a form to be completed by its authorized representatives certifying that the corporation has no Federally-assessed unpaid or delinquent tax liability or recent felony criminal convictions under any Federal law.
C. Reporting
Grant recipients are required to provide semi -annual financial and performance reports. Performance reports are required every six months from the time an award starts until it is closed. They are to be submitted to the NOAA Program Officer. Within 30 days of the conclusion of each six-month period, recipients must submit a report summarizing activities
25
conducted in support of the project during the prior six months. Financial reports are to be submitted to the NOAA Grants Officer. NOAA's Grants Management Division (GMD) will also provide guidance for its semi -annual financial reporting requirements. Each grant recipient will need to demonstrate, through performance and financial reports, that all award conditions have been met before an award can be closed. Financial and performance reporting, as well as all other grant management activities after a grant is awarded, are conducted electronically through NOAA's grants management system, NOAA Grants On-line, at https://grantsonline.rdc.noaa.gov/.
The recipient will be requested to ensure that all interim progress reports indicate whether financial reports have been submitted to NOAA's GMD and are up to date. In their
final progress report, recipients will be asked to a) clearly state the resulting impact of their project and products in the coastal management community; and b) certify that "Final financial reports have been submitted to NOAA's Grants Management Division and a final funding draw-down has been made through the Automated Standard Application for Payments (ASAP)."
If equipment or tangible personal property is purchased with grant funds, applicants shall submit an inventory in accordance with relevant OMB requirements, which shall be incorporated under the award. The equipment requirements of the OMB Uniform Guidance are set out at 2 C.F.R. Part 200.313. As applicable, the recipient must submit Form SF-428 (Tangible Personal Property Report) annually and in the final progress report. Form SF-428 may be attached as an appendix to progress reports. The program office recommends that if the equipment is no longer needed, recipients are encouraged to request disposition instructions for equipment approximately 150 days before the project period ends to allow sufficient time to have equipment disposition requests addressed before a project ends. Equipment disposition instructions typically require that recipients complete an "other" award action request in Grants Online. NOAA will provide instructions for disposition in accordance with OMB requirements.
As applicable, the recipient must report on real property annually and at award closeout, by completing Form SF-429 (Real Property Status Report).

Dear Ms. Warr,
Please accept this letter of support for and collaboration with the project titled "Envisioning Oregon's Coastal Futures: Co-developing resilient coastlines" under the direction of PI Peter Ruggiero at Oregon State University for consideration by NOAA's FY 2015 Regional Coastal Resilience Grants Program. Through sustained engagement with Oregon Coastal Knowledge-to-Action Networks, the investigators propose to co-develop, with representatives from my county and others, a scenario modeling tool (Envision) to explore adaptation strategies for increasing resilience to coastal hazards including both acute (tsunami induced) and chronic (climate controlled) hazards. In recently completed pilot efforts in Tillamook County, OR, Envision has proven its ability to stimulate decision makers to think deeply and interact productively regarding the decisions they have to make and the potential impacts of those decisions regarding resilience to evolving coastal hazards. Therefore, the proposed work has significant implications for future land use planning in all of Oregon's coastal counties.
My county is supportive of this proposal and plan on participating in the Knowledge-to-Action Networks for several reasons. First, the level of engagement between Ruggiero and his team and stakeholders such as ourselves has been very productive in recent years and we look forward to assisting in the codevelopment of useable decision support tools. We have an urgent need along the Oregon coast for projections of the evolving probability of coastal inundation and erosion, and the associated evolving community vulnerability due to development patterns, climate change and variability, and tsunami hazards. We are particularly concerned about the uncertainty of future climate change impacts on coastal hazards and the implications to coastal development, the built environment, and the economies of our rural communities. Finally, we are excited about the application of the decision support tool "Envision" to our coastal communities to help us envision future scenarios, assess impacts, and initiate adaptation strategies over the next several decades to increase our resilience.
Once again, I fully support the proposal submitted by Ruggiero and colleagues to the NOAA Office of Coastal Management. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions.
Sincerely,
Tillamook County

Just a short note from our Board to you. We did not want this grant from your Agency to Tillamook County to go unnoticed by us and the citizens we represent in Tillamook County.
Your Agency provided $47,992 toward the $76,516 dredging project at Memaloose Point Boat Launch. We very much appreciated the support from your agency towards this project. This Boat Launch is used by literally thousands of boaters to access Tillamook Bay for Salmon fishing, crabbing and clamming every year. The dredging of this facility will allow for the safe passage of the boaters who use this site.
We fully understand that we have to jointly look for a better way for boaters to access this boat launch facility without having to dredge this site every few years. We look forward to working with your department to help find a satisfactory way to make this happen.
Again, thank you and your staff for their assistance in helping make this project happen.
Most Sincerely
