As a part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act), Reclamation is issuing a second Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for Water Marketing and Efficiency Grants. Reclamation posted the Synopsis for FOA number 09SF811499 to Grants.gov on March 11, 2009. The full FOA for these projects will be posted to Grants.gov in the near future.

Although many aspects of the new FOA will be identical to the previously issued FOA, the Recovery Act requires that several new conditions be placed on all awards made with Recovery Act funds. Among these new conditions are Davis-Bacon wage rate requirements; use of iron, steel, and manufactured goods produced in the United States; and more frequent project reporting. You will, therefore, need to submit a new application if you wish to be considered for an award under this FOA.

You will be notified when the new FOA is posted. It will likely close 60 days after posting. If you are interested in applying, you are encouraged to begin reviewing the new FOA as soon as it is posted.

The synopsis can be found at www.grants.gov/search/basic.do by entering number the funding opportunity number 09SF811499.
