Additional Information on Eligibility:
Eligible applicants are individuals, institutions of
higher education, nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations,
Federal, State, local and Indian tribal governments, foreign
governments, organizations under the jurisdiction of foreign
governments, and international organizations. Applications from non-
Federal and eligible Federal applicants (including NOAA employees) will
be evaluated in the same selection process. Note: Before non-NOAA
Federal applicants may be funded, they must demonstrate that they have
legal authority to receive funds from another Federal agency in excess
of their appropriation. Because this announcement is not proposing to
procure goods or services from applicants, the Economy Act (31 U.S.C.
1535) is not an appropriate legal basis. Only those who submit
preliminary proposals by the preliminary proposal deadline are eligible
to submit full proposals.

Description
The Ballast Water Management Demonstration
Program supports projects to develop, test, and demonstrate ballast
water treatment methods in order to reduce the threat of introduction
of aquatic invasive species to U.S. waters through the discharge of
ballast water. THIS SOLICITATION IS ONLY FOR COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS TO
ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN A RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TESTING AND EVALUATION
(RDTE) FACILITY. There is a separate FFO for technologies and practices
development (Funding Opportunity Number: OAR-SG20082001206).
Funding Availability: Depending on FY2008 appropriations and the
quality of proposals, NOAA expects to make available up to about $1
million in 2008 funds for four-year cooperative agreements to create
and operate ballast water RDTE facilities. We anticipate making 1 or 2
multiyear awards in FY2008. Depending on future year appropriations and
satisfactory execution of the terms of the cooperative agreement, NOAA
anticipates funding up to $1,250,000 over the next four years for each
successful award.
