Download as PDF 11516 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 51 / Thursday, March 15, 2018 / Notices fund to enhance remediation and provide funds on a continuing basis; and (IV) such other similar factors as the [Agency] considers appropriate to carry out this subsection. Eligibility In order to be considered for supplemental funding, grantees must demonstrate that they have significantly depleted funds (both EPA grant funding and any available pre- or post-closeout program income) and that they have a clear plan for quickly utilizing requested additional funds. Grantees must demonstrate that they have made at least one loan or subgrant prior to applying for this supplemental funding and have significantly depleted existing available funds. For FY2018, EPA defines ‘‘significantly depleted funds’’ as uncommitted or available funding is 25% or less of total RLF funds awarded under both open and closed grants, and cannot exceed $600,000. For new RLF recipients with an award of $1 million of less, the uncommitted or available funding cannot exceed $300,000. Additionally, the RLF recipient must have demonstrated a need for supplemental funding based on, among other factors, the list of potential projects in the RLF program pipeline; demonstrated the ability to make loans and subgrants for cleanups that can be started and completed and will lead to redevelopment; demonstrated the ability to administer and revolve the capitalization funding in the RLF grant; demonstrated an ability to use the RLF grant to address funding gaps for cleanup; and demonstrated that they have provided a community benefit from past and potential loan(s) and/or subgrant(s). EPA encourages innovative approaches to maximizing revolving and leveraging with other funds, including use of grants funds as a loan loss guarantee, combining with other government or private sector lending resources. Applicants for supplemental funding must contact the appropriate Regional Brownfields Coordinator below to obtain information on the format for supplemental funding applications for their region. When requesting supplemental funding, applicants must specify whether they are seeking funding for sites contaminated by hazardous substances or petroleum. Applicants may request both types of funding. REGIONAL CONTACTS Region States Address/phone number/email EPA Region 1, Joe Ferrari, Ferrari.Joe@epa.gov.

The Payphone Compensation Rules: (1) Place liability to compensate PSPs for payphone-originated calls on the facilities-based long distance carriers or switch-based resellers (SBRs) from whose switches such calls are completed; (2) define these responsible carriers as ‘‘Completing Carriers’’ and require them to develop their own system of tracking calls to completion; (3) require Completing Carriers to file with PSPs a quarterly report and also submit an attestation by the chief financial officer (CFO) that the payment amount for that quarter is accurate and is based on 100% of all completed calls; (4) require quarterly reporting obligations for other facilities-based long distance carriers in the call path, if any, and define these carriers as ‘‘Intermediate Carriers;’’ and (5) give parties flexibility to agree to alternative compensation arrangements (ACA) so that small Completing Carriers may E:\FR\FM\15MRN1.SGM 15MRN1
