Deadlines and process...
Deadlines
States are required to submit Form SF-424 for each eligible project. An annual project selection calendar with due dates will be developed each fiscal year, and will identify deadlines and approval times.
Note:
When available, this section indicates the deadlines for applications to the funding agency which will
be stated in terms of the date(s) or between what dates the application should be received.
When not available, applicants should contact the funding agency for deadline information.
Range of Approval/Disapproval Time
An annual project selection calendar with due dates will be developed each fiscal year, and will identify deadlines and approval times.
Preapplication Coordination
The participating State, private landowner, and participating land trust, when applicable, will negotiate the terms of the conservation easement or acquisition. Forest management activities, including timber management, may be allowed on tracts when consistent with the State AON and the purposes for tract acquisition. In addition, an initial appraisal of the property and a Forest Stewardship Plan should be initiated.
Note:
This section indicates whether any prior coordination or approval is required with governmental or nongovernmental units
prior to the submission of a formal application to the federal funding agency.
Appeals
Not applicable.
Note:
In some cases, there are no provisions for appeal. Where applicable, this section discusses appeal procedures or allowable rework time for resubmission
of applications to be processed by the funding agency. Appeal procedures vary with individual programs and are either listed in this section or
applicants are referred to appeal procedures documented in the relevant Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
Renewals
Not applicable.
Note:
In some instances, renewal procedures may be the same as for the application procedure, e.g., for projects of a non-continuing nature renewals will be treated as new, competing applications; for projects of an ongoing nature, renewals may be given annually.
