SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 17, 2025, the Department published an NIA for the SEED program in the Federal Register. The Department is withdrawing this NIA as part of a comprehensive review of recently published FY 2025 NIAs. This review aims to ensure that all priorities and requirements for the FY 2025 SEED program competition align with the program priorities set by the Trump Administration.

The Department intends to publish a new NIA for the SEED program, Assistance Listing Number 84.423A, in FY 2025. This forthcoming NIA will promote innovation and evidence-based grantmaking, minimize excessive and unnecessary oversight, and lessen the reporting burden for both applicants and grant recipients. By adopting this streamlined approach, the Department is committed to maximizing the impact of its funding efforts while creating a more efficient application process.

The Department does not expect that withdrawing this NIA will significantly impact our ability to make grant awards for FY 2025 under this competition because the Administration anticipates issuing a new NIA in the near future.

Intergovernmental Review: This program is subject to Executive Order 12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR part 79.

Accessible Format: On request to the program contact person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,

individuals with disabilities can obtain this notice and the NIA in an accessible format. The Department will provide the requestor with an accessible format that may include Rich Text Format (RTF) or text format (txt), a thumb drive, an MP3 file, braille, large print, audiotape, compact disc, or other accessible format.

l. The proposed Scott’s Mill Hydroelectric Project would consist of:

(1) a masonry dam containing two spillways separated by a 25-foot-wide stone pier, with one 735-foot-long, 15-foot-high (main) spillway with a crest elevation of 514.4 feet North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) that is topped with 2-foot-high flashboards designed to fail at an elevation of 520.4 feet NAVD88 and the other a 140-foot-long arch-section spillway lowered to an elevation of 508.0 feet NAVD88 (existing crest elevation 514.8 feet NAVD88); (2) an impoundment with a surface area of 303.4 acres at a normal pool elevation of 516.4 feet NAVD88; (3) a new modular powerhouse installed immediately downstream of the arch-section spillway containing: (a) nine turbine-generator units (Littoral Power Systems’ Reakt 52 turbines) with a total installed capacity of 4.5 megawatts and

(b) two crest gates, each 8 feet wide and

5.27 feet high, at the western (downstream) end of the powerhouse;

(4) a new 1,200-foot-long underground/ overhead transmission line that would connect to an existing Appalachian Power Company substation; and (5) appurtenant facilities.

Scott’s Mill also proposes to construct: (1) two eel ramps (one on each side of the James River), (2) a fishing pier (downstream of the eastern end of the dam), (3) a portage trail around the eastern side of the dam, and

(4) a boat ramp and parking area on the eastern bank of the impoundment, near the entrance of Harris Creek.

To increase flow to the powerhouse, Scott’s Mill proposes to remove the top

6.8 feet of the existing arch-section spillway of the dam and add 2-foot-high flashboards to the main spillway. Scott’s Mill proposes to operate the project in a run-of-river mode, such that the impoundment would be maintained, at all times, at elevations at least 1 inch
