1.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE

SCOPE: This is the simplified amendment template. This template is intended for projects/activities that are in full compliance where the changes involve adding funds and/or time but no new activities.

PURPOSE: The purpose is to amend an existing IEE., the specific reason for the amendment is adding funds that was erroneously left out during the last amendment and time to extend the end date. No new activities are being added and this is the second amendment.

Note: Most of the activities listed above have their end dates beyond that of the IEE, this is part of the justification for the amendment (No. 2) but the major reason for this amendment (No. 2) is to allow time for the preparation of a new IEE after the new CDCS and PAD has been approved.
