Funding of any application is subject to the amount of federal coastal zone management funds awarded to the FCMP and the amount allocated to the CPI by the Office of Resilience and Coastal Protection. The final decision whether or not to fund these projects is expected to be made by NOAA by summer of 2019. Should additional existing funds be identified prior to the FY19 Request for CPI applications, the Office of Resilience and Coastal Protection will seek to fund the next highest ranked projects. Any Person whose substantial interests are affected may request a hearing pursuant to Section 120.569, Florida Statutes, within 21 days of publication of this notice. Failure to request a hearing within the period shall constitute a waiver of the right to a hearing. Questions regarding the CPI evaluation process should be directed to Ms. Toni R.
