s 19001. Program Description.
(a) Pursuant to SB 959 (Division 25 (commencing with Section 35000) of the Public Resources Code) the Coastal Resources and Energy Assistance Act (Public Resources Code (PRC), Section 35000 et seq.), the Secretary of Environmental Affairs (SEA) shall award grants totalling $10.5 million and on a competitive basis to coastal cities for planning, assessment, mitigation, permitting, monitoring and enforcement, public services and facilities, and for other activities related to offshore energy development. These city activities shall be consistent with requirements of the State's Coastal Management Program as defined in the California Coastal Act, PRC Division 20 commencing with Section 3000.
(b) In awarding grants, SEA will give priority to projects which address existing and/or future impacts of offshore oil and gas activities and any related onshore facilities, in accordance with PRC Section 35040. In accordance with PRC Section 35040.5, any remaining funds may be awarded to coastal cities with approved local coastal programs to assist them in improving the management of the State's coastal resources. At such time that funds become available for allocation under Section 35040.5, the appropriate application procedures will be issued by SEA.
(c) Grants provided to coastal cities shall not exceed 80 percent of the cost of carrying out the project. Block grant funds provided pursuant to the Coastal County Offshore Energy Assistance Program as defined in the Coastal Resources and Energy Assistance Act must not be used as the matching share under this program. In accordance with PRC Section 35081, grant funds shall be used only to augment and not be used to replace state funds allocated for the same eligible activities.

Note: Authority cited: Section 35041, Public Resources Code. Reference: Sections 35040, 35040.5, 35042 and 35081, Public Resources Code.

s 19003. Grant Process and Timetable.
(a) The schedule and key steps of this grant program are provided in Table 1. The application process consists of two stages.
(1) Stage One is pre-application. After informal consultation with the Office of Offshore Development, coastal cities will prepare and submit to SEA pre-applications for the projects which they believe should be funded. Pre-applications shall be prepared in conformance with the information requirements of Section 19004(a) below. SEA will screen the pre-applications based on the criteria in Section 19004(b). Projects meeting all criteria will advance to Stage Two.
(2) In Stage Two, coastal cities will prepare draft applications for the qualified projects. The application shall contain all information requested in Section 19005(a). In accordance with Section 35040(b), the drafts must be circulated locally and to the State Clearinghouse for public comments. At least one public hearing must be held by the applicant during the public comment period pursuant to Section 35040(b). Ten copies of each draft shall also be submitted to the State Clearing House 30 days prior to the public hearing, for review and comments by State agencies.
(b) Three copies of the final application shall then be submitted to SEA. The applications will be reviewed, and eligible applications shall be given a preliminary ranking according to the criteria in Section 19005(b). The preliminary rankings will be reviewed by SEA's Local Government OCS Advisory Committee. The Secretary will then approve the final rankings, and a notice of intent to award will be issued. As certification of compliance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), in accordance with Public Resources Code sections 21000 et seq. is completed by each applicant, the notice of intent to award will be issued on individual projects. Note that compliance with CEQA must be completed prior to the actual allocations of grant funds, in accordance with Public Resources Code section 21150.
(c) Following the Secretary's decision, issue of the notice of intent to award, a seven day protest period will be provided for filing a written appeal to the Secretary. Reasons why an application should be reconsidered shall be clearly stated. SEA shall determine whether or not to reconsider a project. Findings will be provided for projects which have received reconsideration. The decision of SEA shall be final. Rankings will be evaluated semi-annually in accordance with the ranking criteria described in Section 19005(b).
(d) Work on the approved projects shall not be initiated until the grant agreement is signed by SEA and the grantee. The agreement will include the following:
(1) Work statement contained in the grantee's application (or as amended per SEA evaluation);
(2) Schedule contained in the grantee's application (or as amended per SEA evaluation);
(3) Description of work products as contained in the grantee's application (or as amended per SEA evaluation);
(4) Written certification of compliance with the reporting and fiscal accounting requirements in Sections 19007 and 19008, below;
(5) Written certification of compliance with special conditions (if any);
(6) Written certification of compliance with CEQA, in accordance with PRC Sections 21000 et seq., and other applicable rules and regulations;
(7) Written certification of compliance with the State Coastal Management Program as constituted in Section 30008 of the California Coastal Act, PRC Division 20.
(e) The grantee shall obtain prior written approval from SEA before making changes to the grant agreement. All requests should include a description of the proposed change and reasons for the change. Such change may include budget line item revisions, task modifications, and schedule changes.
(f) SEA may terminate any grant in whole, or in part, at anytime before the date of completion, whenever SEA determines that the grantee has failed to comply with the terms and conditions of the grant. SEA shall promptly notify the grantee in writing of the determination, reasons for termination, and appeal process. Payment made to the grantee or recoveries by SEA under grants terminated for cause shall be in accord with the legal rights and liabilities of the parties.
(g) Projects funded under this grant program must be completed by May 1989 unless otherwise approved by SEA. Exceptions will be evaluated and granted on a case-by-case basis at the application stage in accordance with the ranking criteria described in Section 19005(b) below. Progress reports shall be submitted to SEA semi-annually, and a final report shall be submitted within 30 days after the end of the grant term.

s 19006. Payment of Grant Funds.
Payment of funds will be made on a quarterly basis. The grantee may request payment of funds in advance of or as reimbursement for work undertaken during a given quarter. The grantee must indicate the option in the financial application (Exhibit 2) and quarterly financial status form (Exhibit 3). The grantee opting for advance payment must also complete the financial status report as a part of the grant application.
(a) Advance Payment Method.
(1) Grant funds may be paid in advance. In order to receive an advance payment, the grantee must submit to SEA a completed financial status form and a narrative statement justifying the anticipated expenditures, 45 days prior to the start of each 90 day funding period. For example, a payment request must be submitted by February 15 for the April-June quarter.
(2) For the first 90 day period of the grant, a request for advance payment will be based on the estimated first quarter expenditures as detailed in the initial quarterly financial report. Subsequent payments will be based on the submitted quarterly report, projected needs, and expenditures for the previous quarter.
(3) SEA will not authorize payment for:
(A) any request submitted without the narrative justification or
(B) any single advance payment request for most or all of the grant funds.
Exceptions may be considered when it can be conclusively demonstrated by the grantee that expenditures will occur at the requested level in any one calendar quarter.
(4) The grantee is required to keep track of expenditures and make accurate estimates of cash needs for each quarter. A grantee neglecting to document expenditures and keep cash balances to a minimum will be required to switch to the reimbursement method.
(b) Reimbursement Method.
A grantee choosing to receive funds as reimbursement must submit a quarterly financial status report to SEA within 20 days following the end of each quarter. All reimbursement requests must be accompanied by documentation of expenditures. SEA will not authorize payment for any expenses not identified on the quarterly report.
(c) Release of Funds.
(1) After SEA receives the appropriate reports, it will take approximately 45 days before the funds are released to the grantee. During the 45 day period, SEA will review all submitted reports and authorize the accounting unit to file a claim with the State Controller's Office. When the State Controller receives the claim, he will process it and issue a warrant to the grantee.
(2) SEA will not release funds if any of the agreements or terms of the grant has not been kept. SEA will impose other prepayment conditions as circumstances require.
(d) Retention.
SEA will retain 10 percent of each payment request. SEA will review the grantee's final reports within 45 days after their submission. If SEA determines that the terms of the grant have been met, the funds held in retention will be authorized for release.
(e) Matching Share.
(1) Any financial assistance provided to coastal cities will not exceed 80 percent of the cost of the project. Grant funds provided to coastal counties pursuant to Section 35030 will not be used as the city's matching share.
(2) As grant expenditures occur, the grantee's matching funds must be used concurrently with state grant fund and not be held in reserve.

Note: Authority cited: Section 35041, Public Resources Code. Reference: Section 35042, Public Resources Code.

Petition for variance to this requirement may be approved when it is submitted with the application package. Budget revisions include transfer of funds between line items or an increase or decrease in expenditures within a line item. When requesting approval for a budget revision, the grantee shall use the budget format used in the original grant application and attach a description of the proposed change, including reasons for the charge, and references to specific sections of the original grant agreement impacted by the change. Requests for budget revisions must be sent under a separate cover to SEA. SEA will respond in writing to such requests within 30 days.
(c) Retention of Records.

(d) Audits.
SEA or authorized designee reserves the right to make on-site inspections and audits of the grantee's records. Further, the grantee agrees to incorporate an audit of this program within their scheduled agency audits when requested by SEA. The grantee will inform SEA when audits are scheduled. Upon written request from SEA, the grantee shall provide detailed documentation of all expenses any time during the project.
(e) Financial Reports.
