Eligibility is restricted to state and county governments, and only the 47 entities named in the RESTORE Act may apply: the state governments of Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi, 23 Florida Gulf Coast counties, and 20 southern Louisiana parishes, as listed at 31 CFR 34.302. Projects must be selected via a public engagement process. The opportunity is noncompetitive, and the source states no award ceiling, floor, or expected award count.
Applications may cover projects "with or without a non-federal cost-share for another federally funded project or program." No mandatory match is stated.
Eligible purposes under 31 CFR 34.201 include natural resource restoration, mitigation of fish and wildlife damage, implementation of federally approved marine, coastal, or comprehensive conservation management plans including fisheries monitoring, workforce development and job creation, state park improvements, infrastructure benefitting the economy or ecological resources including port infrastructure, coastal flood protection, tourism promotion including recreational fishing, seafood consumption promotion, planning assistance for the Multiyear Implementation Plan, and administrative costs. Eligible activities 1 through 7 must be carried out in the Gulf Coast region. Construction, real property acquisition, and activities requiring a federal or state permit, including natural resource restoration projects, belong under the construction and real property acquisition FOA identified as GR-RDC-25-002.
Treasury checks completeness and conformance with the RESTORE Act, 31 CFR Part 34, 2 CFR Part 200, and Treasury policies. It assesses administrative capacity using the Operational Self-Assessment and Single Audit records. Natural resource projects are assessed for best available science. Treasury makes every effort to approve or disapprove applications within 120 days of a complete, compliant submission, reviews on a rolling basis, and returns deficient applications for revision. The Deputy Chief Program Officer approves all awards.
The program is CFDA 21.015, the Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, and Revived Economies of the Gulf Coast States (RESTORE Act) program, administered by the Office of Gulf Coast Restoration within Treasury's Office of Capital Access. No incumbent recipient is named.
