USAID/COLOMBIA/ENV PORTFOLIO
USAID 216 SIMPLIFIED AMENDMENT TEMPLATE VERSION 2, APRIL 2018
1.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this amendment is to change the original LAC-IEE-15-02 and its two amendments LAC-IEE-18-18 and LAC-IEE-17-31 to add funds by increasing the Total Estimated Amount (TEA) from $175 million to $250 million and extend the time frame from FY 2020 to FY 2024.
The funds will be increased for the ENV Portfolio because it has surpassed its current TEA due to activities that will receive additional funding and new activities that will be issued.
The timeframe will be extended until FY 2024 when the current PAD’s validity expires.
This amendment of the Initial Environmental Examination for the Environment Portfolio (LAC- IEE-15-10) is prepared in accordance with USAID Environmental Procedures 216, ADS Chapter 204 Environmental Procedures and MO# 2011-02 Environmental Procedures, under the Development Objective No. 4 “Environmental resiliency and low-emissions development strengthened” of USAID/Colombia.
It is important to clarify that no new activities are being added in this amendment and new IEEs per activities will be developed in 2020 under the new CDCS 2020-2025.
2.0 CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE
All other aspects of the project design/activities and geographic scope remain unchanged from previous environmental analyses.
Annual Work Plan(s) has/have been verified to undertake only those activities originally proposed, and all reporting requirements have been adhered to and remain unchanged. This project is in compliance.
There has been no change to the climate risk screening/management of the project in accordance with Mandatory Reference for ADS Chapter 201 on Climate Risk Management for USAID Projects and Activities.
3.0 REVISIONS
Per 22CFR216.3(a)(9), when ongoing programs are revised to incorporate a change in scope or nature, a determination will be made as to whether such change may have an environmental impact not previously assessed. If so, this environmental analysis will be amended to cover the changes. Per ADS 204, it is the responsibility of the USAID A/COR to keep the MEO/REA and BEO informed of any new information or changes in the activity that might require revision of this amendment and environmental determination.
