Abstract: The Land and Water
Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (LWCF
Act) (54 U.S.C. 200305) was enacted to
help preserve, develop, and ensure
access for the public to outdoor
recreation opportunities. The LWCF Act
provides funds for and authorizes
Federal assistance to the States for
planning, acquisition, and development
of needed land and water areas and
facilities. In accordance with the LWCF
Act, the National Park Service (we, NPS)
administers the LWCF State Assistance
Program, which provides matching
grants to States and through the States
to local units of government. As used in
this information collection request, the
term ‘‘States’’ includes the 50 States; the
Commonwealths of Puerto Rico and the
Northern Mariana Islands; the District of
Columbia; and the Territories of Guam,
the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American
Samoa.
In accordance with the LWCF Act, we
administer the LWCF State Assistance
Program, which provides matching
grants to States, and through the States
to local units of government. LWCF
grants are provided to States on a
matching basis for up to 50 percent of

PO 00000

Frm 00044

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

21357

the total project-related allowable costs.
Grants to eligible insular areas may be
for 100 percent assistance. The LWCF
State Assistance Program gives
maximum flexibility and responsibility
to the States. States establish their own
priorities and criteria and award their
grant money through a competitive
selection process based on a state-wide
recreation plan. Payments for all
projects are made to the State agency
that is authorized to accept and
administer funds paid for approved
projects. Local units of government
participate in the program as
subgrantees of the State with the State
retaining primary grant compliance
responsibility.
The following information is collected
to administer the LWCF State
Assistance Program:
Application. States may seek financial
assistance for acquisition, development,
or planning projects to be conducted
under the LWCF Act. To receive a grant,
States must submit an application to
NPS for review and approval. We use
the information provided in
applications to determine eligibility
under the authorizing legislation and to
select those projects that will provide
the highest return on the Federal
investment. Project proposals for LWCF
grants comprise the following:
• NPS Form 10–902 Project
Agreement. This form documents the
agreement between the NPS and the
State for accomplishing the project. It
binds the Federal Government and the
State to certain obligations through its
acceptance of Federal assistance,
including the rules and regulations
applicable to the conduct of a project
under the Act and any special terms and
conditions to the project established by
the NPS and agreed to by the State. It
obligates the United States to provide
grants up to a designated amount for
eligible costs; sets forth methods of
costing, accounting, incurrence of costs,
and similar matters. The form also
establishes the project performance
period and briefly describes the scope of
the project. (Note: we anticipate
discontinuing use of this form.)
• NPS Form 10–903 Description and
Notification Form (DNF). The State must
submit a DNF for each park or other
recreation area that will be assisted with
grant funds. This form provides data
about the assisted project site(s), such as
location, acreages and details about
improvements, as understood at the
beginning of each grant project.
• NPS Form 10–904 Proposal
Description (PD) and Environmental
Screening Form (ESF). The PD assists
the applicant in developing a narrative
that provides administrative and

khammond on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES

21358

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 93 / Tuesday, May 14, 2019 / Notices

descriptive information to help the
Federal decision-maker understand the
nature of the proposed project. The ESF
indicates the resources that could be
impacted by the project, enabling States
and/or local project sponsors to more
accurately follow an appropriate
pathway for compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). The analysis serves as part of
the Federal administrative record
required by NEPA and its implementing
regulations. (Note: we anticipate
revising this form to make a version
specific for grant applications.)
• Pre-award On-site Inspection
Report. The State must physically
inspect proposed project sites prior to
the award of grant funds and report on
the findings. The inspection must be
conducted in accord with the onsite
inspection agreement between the State
and NPS. See additional information
under Reports, below.
• Maps and other supporting
documentation. Applicants must
develop and submit two maps: one
depicting the general location of the
park as well as the entrance area; the
other delineating the specific boundary
of the outdoor recreation area that will
be protected for outdoor recreation
purposes and subject to the conversion
provisions at 54 U.S.C. 200305(f).
Applicants should submit other
documents that have a significant
bearing on the project.
Grant Amendment. After initial award
but during the award performance
period, a State or project sponsor may
seek to modify the agreed-upon terms,
such as the award end date, the scope
of work, or the budget. NPS must review
and approve such changes. States must
submit an amendment request on behalf
of themselves or the local sponsor,
which depending on the nature of the
change, could comprise the following
elements: NPS Form 10–902A,
‘‘Amendment to Project Agreement:,
revised Standard Forms, a letter from
the State Liaison Officer (SLO)
describing the proposed changes and
the impact to the project, the PD/ESF, a
revised boundary map, and a revised
DNF.
• NPS Form 10–902A Amendment to
Project Agreement. An amendment form
is required to alter the signed Project
Agreement for conversion requests.
When the amendment is signed by the
NPS, it becomes part of the agreement
and supersedes it in the specified
matters. (Note: we anticipate
discontinuing use of this form for grant
amendments.)
• NPS Form 10–903 Description and
Notification Form. A revised DNF may
be required for changes in scope that

VerDate Sep<11>2014

16:57 May 13, 2019

Jkt 247001

significantly alter the planned facility
development or the acreage of the site
or area to be protected under 6(f).
Conversion of Use. In accordance with
54 U.S.C. 200305(f) and implementing
regulations found at 36 CFR 59, no
lands acquired or developed with LWCF
funds can be converted to other than
public outdoor recreation uses without
the approval of the Secretary of the
Interior. States must submit a formal
request to the appropriate NPS Regional
Office with documentation to
substantiate that: (a) All alternatives to
the conversion have been evaluated and
then rejected on a sound basis; (b)
required replacement land being offered
as a substitute is of reasonably
equivalent location and recreational
usefulness as the assisted site proposed
for conversion; (c) the property
proposed for substitution meets the
eligibility requirements for LWCF
assistance; and (d) replacement property
is of at least equal fair market value as
established by an appraisal developed
in accordance with Federal appraisal
standards. Required documentation is
similar to that submitted for grant
applications and amendment requests
(Forms 10–902A, Amendment to Project
Agreement; 10–903, DNF; and/or 10–
904, PD/ESF). Additional documents
include maps showing the existing
protected recreation area and
delineating the area to be converted and
of the proposed replacement property.
(Note: we anticipate continuing to use
Form 10–902A for conversions and also
revising Form 10–904 to create a version
that would be used specifically for
conversions and other post-grant
amendments.)
Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor
Recreation Plan (SCORP). The LWCF
Act requires that to be eligible for LWCF
financial assistance, each State must
prepare and submit a SCORP to NPS for
approval. The NPS requires a new or
updated SCORP at least once every 5
years. The SCORP must include:
• The name of the State agency that
will have the authority to represent and
act for the State.
• An evaluation of the demand for
and supply of outdoor recreation
resources and facilities in the State.
• A program for the implementation
of the plan.
• Certification by the Governor that
ample opportunity for public
participation has taken place in plan
development.
Open Project Selection Process
(OPSP). Each State must develop an
OPSP that provides objective criteria
and standards for grant selection that
are explicitly based on each State’s
priority needs for the acquisition and

PO 00000

Frm 00045

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

development of outdoor recreation
resources as identified in the SCORP.
The OPSP is the connection between the
SCORP and the use of LWCF grants to
assist State efforts in meeting high
priority outdoor recreation resource
needs. To ensure continuing close ties
between the SCORP and the OPSP,
States must review project selection
criteria each time that a new or
amended SCORP is approved by the
NPS. States must submit to the NPS a
revised set of OPSP criteria that conform
to any changes in SCORP priorities or
submit an appropriate certification that
no such revisions are necessary.
Proposal for a Public Facility. Except
for certain kinds of supporting facilities
(e.g., restrooms, visitor information
centers), project sponsors must seek
NPS approval when constructing an
indoor structure on a property that has
received LWCF assistance. In most
cases, development of an indoor
structure would constitute a conversion,
but, in certain cases NPS may approve
them where it can be shown that they
will enhance the outdoor recreation
uses of a park and there will be a net
gain in benefits to the outdoor recreating
public using that park. The request
comprises the PD/ESF, which is used to
describe the nature of the facility, how
it will support and enhance the outdoor
recreation use of the site, and ownership
and management; as well as a copy of
a revised boundary map indicating the
location of the proposed facility.
Request for Temporary NonConforming Use. Project sponsors must
seek NPS approval for the temporary
(up to 6 months) use of an LWCFassisted site for purposes that do not
conform to the public outdoor
recreation requirements. The State’s
proposal to NPS must include: (a) Form
10–904, PD/ESF (used to describe the
proposed temporary use); (b) SLO
recommendations; and (c) an
acknowledgement by the SLO that a full
conversion will result if the temporary
use has not ceased after 6 months.
Request for Significant Change of Use.
Project sponsors must seek NPS
approval to change the use of an
assisted site from one eligible use to
another when the proposed use
significantly contravenes the plans or
intent for the area as they were outlined
in the original LWCF application for
Federal assistance; e.g., changing a site’s
use from passive to active recreation.
NPS Form 10–904, PD/ESF is used for
this request.
Extension of the 3-year Limit for
Delayed Outdoor Recreation
Development. Project sponsors must
seek NPS approval to continue a nonrecreation use beyond the 3-year limit

E:\FR\FM\14MYN1.SGM

14MYN1

21359

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 93 / Tuesday, May 14, 2019 / Notices
for acquisition projects that were
previously approved with delayed
outdoor recreation development. The
State must submit a written request and
justification for such an extension to
NPS before the end of the initial 3-year
period. This request must include: (a) A
full description of the property’s current
public outdoor recreation resources and
the public’s current ability to use the
property; and (b) an update of the
project sponsor’s plans and schedule for
developing outdoor recreation facilities
on the property.
Reports. We use this information
provided in reports to ensure that the
grantee is accomplishing the work on
schedule and to identify any problems
that the grantee may be experiencing in
accomplishing that work.
• Onsite Inspection Reports. States
must administer a regular and
continuing program of onsite
inspections of projects. Onsite
inspection reports are prepared for all
inspections conducted and are included
in the official project files maintained
by the State. Progress onsite inspection
reports occur during the grant project
period and are generally combined with
the annual performance report or when
grant payments are made. Final onsite
inspection reports must be submitted to
the NPS within 90 days after the date of
completing a project and prior to final
reimbursement and administrative
closeout. Post-completion onsite
inspection reports must be completed
within 5 years after the final project
reimbursement and every 5 years
thereafter. If there are problems, the
report should include a description of

the discrepancy and the corrective
action to be taken. Only reports
indicating problems are forwarded to
the NPS for review and necessary
action; all other reports are maintained
in State files.
• Financial and Program
Performance Reports. In accordance
with 2 CFR 200 (Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for
Federal Awards), grantees must monitor
grant and subgrant supported activities
to ensure compliance with applicable
Federal requirements and that
performance goals are being achieved.
States must submit reports to NPS at
least annually that include performance
and financial information.
Recordkeeping. To comply with the
grant requirements of 2 CFR 200, States
must maintain financial records,
supporting documents, statistical
records, and all other records pertinent
to a grant program for a period of 3 years
after final payment on a project. The
records must be retained beyond the 3year period if audit findings have not
been resolved. However, to comply with
the LWCF Act perpetuity requirements,
States must maintain sufficient records
to allow them to keep track of parks and
other recreation areas that have been
assisted.
Request for Reimbursement/Record of
Electronic Payment. States use the
Automated Standard Application for
Payments (ASAP) system for drawing
funds on approved grants. For planning
grants, States must submit to NPS a
progress report and request for
reimbursement before they may request
Estimated
annual
respondents

payments. Acquisition and development
projects do not require prior approval,
but upon completion of an electronic
payment on a given date the State must
concurrently (within 24 hours) submit a
completed NPS Form 10–905, ‘‘Record
of Electronic Payment’’ to the LWCF
Program offices in Washington, DC and
applicable NPS Region.
Proposal to Shelter Facilities. Project
sponsors must seek NPS approval to
construct new or partially or fully
enclose an existing outdoor recreation
facility, such as a pool or ice rink, to
shelter them from cold climatic
conditions and thereby increase the
recreational opportunities. This
approval is required whether seeking to
use LWCF grant funds for this purpose
or not. NPS Form 10–904, PD/ESF is
used for this request.
