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.

Needs and Uses: Section 276 of the
Communications Act, as amended (the
Act), requires that the Federal
Communications Commission
(Commission or FCC) establish rules
ensuring that payphone service
providers or PSPs are ‘‘fairly
compensated’’ for each and every
completed payphone-originated call.
The Commission’s Payphone
Compensation Rules satisfy section 276
by identifying the party liable for
compensation and establishing a
mechanism for PSPs to be paid. A 2003
Report and Order (FCC 03–235)
established detailed rules (Payphone
Compensation Rules) ensuring that
payphone service providers or PSPs are
‘‘fairly compensated’’ for each and every
completed payphone-originated call
pursuant to section 276 of the
Communications Act, as amended (the
Act). The Payphone Compensation
Rules satisfy section 276 by identifying
the party liable for compensation and
establishing a mechanism for PSPs to be
paid. 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
