ACTION: Notice announcing application deadline. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Numbers: 84.394 and 84.397. SUMMARY: Under the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund (Stabilization) program, authorized in Title XIV of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), Public Law 111–5, the U.S. Department of Education (Department) awards grants on a formula basis to Governors to help stabilize State and local government budgets in order to minimize and avoid reductions in education and other essential public services. The Department is awarding Stabilization funds in two phases. In Phase 1, the Department will award 67 percent of the total funds available to a State, unless the State can demonstrate that additional funds are required to restore fiscal year 2009 State support for education. In that case, the Department will award up to 90 percent of its total allocation in Phase 1. The Department will award the remaining portion of a State’s allocation in Phase 2. In this notice, we establish the deadline by which a Governor must submit the State’s application for Phase 1 funding under the Stabilization program. Application Deadline: July 1, 2009, 4:30:00 p.m. Washington, DC time. Governors must submit an application electronically by the deadline in this notice. If a Governor fails to submit the State’s application by this deadline, the State will not receive any Phase 1 or Phase 2 Stabilization funds. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: There are two components of the Stabilization program: the Education Stabilization Fund (CFDA No. 84.394) and the VerDate Nov<24>2008 18:44 May 12, 2009 Jkt 217001 Government Services Fund (CFDA No. 84.397). By statute, the Department will award 81.8 percent of a State’s total Stabilization allocation under the Education Stabilization Fund and the remaining 18.2 percent of its allocation under the Government Services Fund. Governors will apply for funding for each component under a single application. The application is available on the Department’s Web site at https://www.ed.gov/programs/ statestabilization/applicant.html. If a Governor does not submit the State’s application for Phase 1 funding by the deadline in this notice, the Department will allocate the funds that were reserved for the State to those States that have submitted timely applications.

Under current operating conditions, water is piped from Periodic Springs to a buried concrete surge tank. From this tank, water is routed to a water treatment plant, and then to a storage tank before distribution. The new hydroelectric project will divert flow at an existing bifurcation in the conveyance pipe, upstream of the treatment plant. Flows up to 12 cubic feet per second (cfs) will be diverted to the powerhouse for hydropower generation, then discharged directly to the storage tank, bypassing the current treatment plant. The proposed project would have a total installed capacity of 225 kW and would produce an average annual generation of 1,272,463 kilowatthours. The generated power would be utilized to offset the energy used by the culinary water system, with net power sold to Lower Valley Energy, Inc.
