However, many applications that were
awarded high scores by peer reviewers
still did not receive funding.
We have recently learned that very
limited funding is available for new
awards under this program in FY 2010.
Because any new awards must be made
by September 30, 2010, we have
decided to select grantees in FY 2010
from the existing slate of applicants
from the FY 2008 competition. This
slate was developed during the FY 2008
competition using the selection criteria,
application requirements, and
definitions referenced in the 2007
Federal Register notice.
Note: To be eligible to receive a grant
pursuant to this notice, all applicants being
considered for funding based on the funding
slate for the FY 2008 competition must meet
all statutory and regulatory eligibility criteria
and other requirements for this program.
Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1070a–

The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing
the public release of the 2010 version of
the Causal Analysis/Diagnosis Decision
Information System (CADDIS). This
Web site was developed to help
scientists find, develop, organize, and
use environmental information to
improve causal assessments of
biological impairment. The CADDIS
Web site was developed and prepared
by EPA’s National Center for
Environmental Assessment (NCEA), in
the Office of Research and Development
(ORD), and is available at https://
www.epa.gov/caddis.
DATES: The 2010 CADDIS Web site will
become publically available on
September 24, 2010.

additional information on the CADDIS
Web site, please contact the Information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Over a
thousand water bodies in the United
States are listed by states as biologically
impaired. For many of these sites, the
cause of impairment is reported as
‘‘unknown.’’ Before appropriate
management actions can be formulated
for impaired water bodies, the causes of
biological impairment (e.g., excess fine
sediments, nutrients, toxics, and other
stressors) must be identified. Effective
causal analyses require knowledge of
the mechanisms, symptoms, and
stressor-response relationships for
various stressors, as well as the ability
to use that knowledge to draw
appropriate, defensible conclusions. To
aid in these causal analyses, NCEA
developed CADDIS, a web-based
decision support system to help
regional, state, and tribal investigators
find, access, organize, and share
information useful for causal
evaluations in aquatic systems. CADDIS
is based on EPA’s Stressor Identification
process, which is a formal method for
identifying causes of impairments in
aquatic environments. Features of
CADDIS include a step-by-step guide to
conducting causal assessments; a
summary of relevant causal assessment
history and concepts; summary
information for common sources and
stressors; applied examples of causal
assessment methods; information on
basic and advanced data analyses;
downloadable software tools; and an
online application for collaborating on
