Program History. The current 9-1-1 call delivery network is based on switch-based network technology that is limited in its abilities, such as being able route automatically around network disruptions and deliver non-voice data to Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) via the same network path as voice calls. This hinders the network’s ability to provide the functionality and resiliency that the public has come to expect of more modern, Internet Protocol-based network architecture. In 2018, the Commission approved a settlement and proposed tariff by the state’s incumbent 9-1-1 system service provider to migrate all of Colorado’s PSAPs to an IP-based 9-1-1 call delivery network, known as an Emergency Services IP Network (ESInet), starting in October of 2019 and completing in October 2020, with each PSAP being listed with a separate target migration date. The finalized version of this tariff was filed in Colorado Public Utilities Commission Proceeding 18AL-0916T, and was subsequently modified in Proceeding 19AL-0238T. The federal grant requires a 40% match of the total project cost. Through two different decisions, the Colorado Public Utilities Commission has committed a total of $1.65 million from the CPAP Tier 2 Fund for the purpose of meeting this matching requirement. As a result, the Grantee will not be required to provide matching funds as part of this Grant Agreement1 The purpose of this grant is to ease the financial burden of the migration to the ESInet of each of the Grantee’s PSAPs and to avoid delay of the migration due to financial constraints. The use of grant funds will be to reimburse the Grantee’s expenditures for the Non-Recurring Costs and Project Management Fees as described in CenturyLink Tariff No. 25, Section 9.2.5.E.6. Per CenturyLink Tariff No. 25, Section 9.2.5.C.4, Project Management Fees are capped at ten hours per concurrent session. In the event that the full ten hours are not utilized, and the Grantee is charged less than the 1 See Decision C18-0751 and Decision C19-0331. amount that would otherwise be incurred for a full ten hours of Project Management Fees, the Grantee may also submit for reimbursement proof of expenditure for other costs directly related to the migration of its PSAPs to the ESInet. Examples of these expenses include the purchase of electrical work, software licensing fees, and electronic housing units necessary for migration of the PSAP to the ESInet. The reimbursement of these costs is dependent on approval of the Federal ...
Program History. BOEM and its predecessor agencies—the Minerals Management Service and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement—through the Marine Minerals Program, have been exercising statutory authority regarding OCS sand, gravel, and/or shell resources under OCSLA pursuant to written guidelines, without the benefit of implementing regulations. BOEM has negotiated over 50 noncompetitive agreements, providing for the use of more than 100 million cubic yards of OCS sand, gravel, and/or shell resources for shore protection, beach restoration, or coastal wetlands restoration projects undertaken by a Federal, state, or local government agency, and for federally authorized or funded construction projects. XXXX believes that promulgation of regulations at this time is advisable to provide additional clarity and certainty and to help ensure continuity of the Marine Minerals Program.

Program History. The Colorado River flows more than 1,400 miles from its headwaters in the Rocky Mountains through portions of seven states and the Republic of Mexico before it discharges into the Gulf of California. Through natural and man-induced causes, the river picks up and dissolves salt along its path from about 50 mg/L at its source to nearly 850 mg/L (present concentrations) as it passes from the United States into Mexico. Historically nearly 9 million tons of dissolved salts have passed down the river annually below Xxxxxx Dam. The Colorado River is used by approximately 40 million people for domestic and industrial uses in the United States and is used to irrigate approximately 5.5 million acres of land. The significant salt load creates environmental and economic damages to its users. Modeling by Reclamation shows that 2020 average quantifiable economic damages from salinity are approximately $354 million dollars per year to U.S. users, with projections that economic damages would rise to more than $671 million by 2040 if the Program were not to continue to be aggressively implemented. The early 1970’s saw significant concern by US water users over the increasing Colorado River salinity concentrations, as well as issues between the United States and Mexico over the quality of water being delivered to Mexico pursuant to the treaty between the countries. These concerns, coupled with the passage of the Clean Water Act amendments in 1972 and concerns over EPA mandating state-line water quality standards, led the seven Colorado River Basin states to work with Interior agencies, the State Department and Congress in passage of the Salinity Control Act. Now, nearly four decades later, this unique partnership of federal and state agencies continues to work cooperatively with hundreds of local companies and thousands of individual water users to control the salinity levels of this major river while allowing development and usage of its waters pursuant to the Colorado River Compact. Through Program efforts, the salt load of the Colorado River has now been reduced by about 1.22 million tons annually, but continuance of the Program is required to offset what otherwise would be increases in salinity levels.
