Background
The purpose of the Community
Wildfire Defense Grant (CWDG) is to
assist at-risk local communities and
Indian Tribes with planning for and
mitigating against the risk created by
wildfire. This program is authorized in
H.R. 3684, ‘‘An Act to authorize funds
for Federal-aid highways, highway
safety programs, and transit programs,
and for other purposes,’’ commonly
referred to as the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act. Specifically,
the CWDG is provided for in Title VIII,
Section 40803. There are two primary
project types for which the grant
provides funding: the development and
revising of Community Wildfire
Protection Plans (CWPP) and the
implementation of projects described in
a CWPP that is less than ten years old.
The Act prioritizes at-risk communities
that are in an area identified as having
high or very high wildfire hazard
potential, are low-income, and/or have
been impacted by a severe disaster.

More details on these three priorities
can be found on grants.gov.
The CWDG helps communities in the
wildland urban interface (WUI)
implement the three goals of the
National Cohesive Wildland Fire
Management Strategy (Cohesive
Strategy):
• Restore and Maintain Landscapes:
Landscapes across all jurisdictions are
resilient to fire-related disturbances, in
accordance with management
objectives.
• Create Fire Adapted Communities:
Human populations and infrastructure
can withstand a wildfire without loss of
life and property.
• Improve Wildfire Response: All
jurisdictions participate in making and
implementing safe, effective, efficient
risk-based wildfire management
decisions.

Key Points
• Who Can Apply: Entities eligible to
apply for funding under the CWDG
include:
a. Units of local governments
representing communities located in an
area with a risk of wildfires,
b. Indian Tribes (please apply through
either the Indian Tribes/Alaska Native
Corporations specific notice or the
applicable regional notice),
c. Non-profit organizations including
homeowner associations that assist such
communities,
d. State forestry agencies (including
U.S. territories and interests), and
e. Alaska Native Corporations (please
apply through either the Indian Tribes/
Alaska Native Corporations specific
notice or the applicable regional notice).
For-profit entities are not eligible to
apply for this funding opportunity.
• Eligible Lands: Eligible applicants
may apply for grant funding for a project
proposal to be conducted on lands with
the following ownership types, as long
as the project proposal directly reduces
wildfire risk to a community:
a. Private lands,
b. Local government,
c. Homeowner associations,
d. State government, and
e. Tribal/Alaska native corporation
(includes Trust lands).
Lands administered by the federal
government are not eligible for this
funding opportunity with the exception
of lands held in trust for Native
American Tribes and individuals (Trust
lands).
• State Forest Action Plans and the
Cohesive Wildland Fire Management
Strategy: Projects should further the
priorities, e.g., goal, strategy, and/or
priority landscape, in the most recent
State Forest Action Plans as well as the

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:50 Jul 28, 2022

Jkt 256001

relevant regional cohesive wildland fire
management strategy document.
• Executive Order 13985: Advancing
Racial Equity and Support for
Underserved Communities Through the
Federal Government: We prioritize
applications that show a clear benefit to
underserved people and the
communities where they reside or the
forest areas that they value. Where this
is the case, this should be described in
the ‘‘Project Narrative Form.’’
Underserved communities are also
eligible to request a waiver of match
requirements.
• Minimum and Maximum Funding
Levels:
a. There is no minimum Federal
funding limit for projects under CWDG.
b. The maximum amount of Federal
funding awarded to any one community
or Tribe via this competitive process is:
• $250,000 for the creation or
updating of a Community Wildfire
Protection Plan, and
• $10 million for a project described
within a Community Wildfire Protection
Plan less than 10 years old.
c. For planning purposes, the Federal
funding allocated through the CWDG
competitive process is expected to be
approximately $160 million annually
for the next five years.
• Required Matching Funds: The
CWDG program has differing levels of
match dependent upon the proposal for
which is being applied. For proposals to
develop or update a CWPP, the required
match is 10%. For proposals to
implement projects described within a
CWPP, the required match is 25%.
Matching funds must be derived
entirely from non-Federal sources
(unless expressly authorized in law by
the other federal program). The match
must be met by eligible and allowable
costs and is subject to match provisions
in grant regulations (Code of Federal
Regulations Title 2 Part 200.306 and
Subpart E for Cost Principles). Match
must meet all the same requirements as
the Federal share and be documented
sufficiently to support financial tracking
and accountability. Communities
meeting the definition of underserved
may request a waiver of match; no other
waiver requests are allowable under this
program.
• Lead Agency or Organization: All
applications must identify the lead
agency or organization that will have
primary responsibility for coordinating
project work and reporting. The lead
agency may pass funds to other partners
performing work as relevant.
• Grant Timeframes: Projects must be
completed within five (5) years.
• For Proposals including multiple
communities: For separate projects in

PO 00000

Frm 00006

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

45741

separate communities, a separate
narrative form and included budget will
need to be filled out for each
community for purposes of determining
eligibility, prioritization, and ranking.
For an application consisting of a single
project that spans multiple
communities, the project can be applied
for and described within the same
application and narrative form.
• Scoring and Ranking of
applications: Applications will be
scored by members of a regional review
panel. Individual reviewer scores will
be normalized. All regionally-scored
applications will be compiled in a
single nationally-ranked list, which will
be used to distribute funding.
• Reporting: Funded CWDG projects
will be required to provide financial
reports to the grant’s administrator on a
quarterly basis, and project performance
reports on an annual basis. The annual
performance report shall include a
spatial data component. This requires
both Forest Service grant monitors and
CWDG grant recipients to coordinate in
entering project information.
• Build America/Buy America: The
Build America, Buy America Act,
enacted as part of the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act, established a
domestic content procurement
preference for all Federal financial
assistance obligated for infrastructure
projects after May 14, 2022. The Buy
America preference requires that all
iron, steel, manufactured products, and
construction materials used in
infrastructure projects are produced in
the United States. If a recipient proposes
a waiver of the Buy America preference,
they must identify the items for which
a waiver will be sought in the
application. Applicants should not
proceed with the expectation that
waivers will be granted.
• Environmental Compliance: The
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) apply
to proposed ‘‘Federal’’ actions. Whether
an action under the CWDG program may
be subject to NEPA analysis is
dependent upon the level of federal
(Forest Service) control and authority
over the action. Deciding whether or not
the Forest Service is responsible for
performing NEPA analysis is
determining whether the Forest Service
exercises control over the
implementation of the action to be
funded, and to what degree
implementation of the action is
dependent upon Forest Service funding.
For example, where the Forest Service
provides funding, but does not exercise
control or decision making over the
specific projects and actions funded by
the CWDG grant, it is unlikely to be

E:\FR\FM\29JYN1.SGM

29JYN1

lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1

45742

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 145 / Friday, July 29, 2022 / Notices

deemed a Federal action for purposes of
requiring NEPA analysis. Similarly,
where the Forest Service provides only
a small percentage of the funding for a
project, it is unlikely that environmental
analysis will be required under NEPA
due to limited control and
responsibility.
• Floodplain Management Criteria: If
applicable and appropriate, a project
located in a Special Flood Hazard Area
must implement and meet the
conditions contained within the Federal
Flood Risk Management Standard
(FFRMS).
• Labor Standards: All laborers and
mechanics employed by the applicant,
subrecipients, contractors or
subcontractors in the performance of
construction, alteration, or repair work
on an award or project in excess of
$2,000 funded directly by or assisted in
whole or in part by funds made
available under this grant program shall
be paid wages at rates not less than
those prevailing on similar projects in
the locality, as determined by the
Secretary of Labor in accordance with
subchapter IV of chapter 31 of title 40,
United States Code commonly referred
to as the ‘‘Davis-Bacon Act’’ (DBA).
Applicants shall provide written
assurance acknowledging the DBA
requirements for the award or project
and confirming that all laborers and
mechanics performing construction,
alteration, or repair work on projects in
excess of $2,000 funded directly by or
assisted in whole or in part by and
through funding under the award are
paid or will be paid wages at rates not
less than those prevailing on projects of
a character similar in the locality as
determined by the Secretary of Labor in
accordance with Subchapter IV of
Chapter 31 of Title 40, United States
Code (Davis-Bacon Act).
Recipients of funding will also be
required to undergo DBA compliance
training and to maintain competency in
DBA compliance. The U.S. Department
of Labor offers free Prevailing Wage
Seminars several times a year that meet
this requirement, at https://
www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/
government-contracts/construction/
