Announcement of Additional Funding Opportunities From FY04 Announcement of Opportunity

AGENCY:

Office of Ocean Exploration, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION:

Notice.

SUMMARY:

NOAA's Office of Ocean Exploration (OE) publishes this notice to announce that an application submitted in response to the NOAA Ocean Exploration Initiative Fiscal Year (FY) 2003 is being considered for funding with monies available through the FY04 solicitation. The rationale for this is as follows. The proposal under consideration for funding was well reviewed in FY03 and met the mission and goals of this office. However, funds and other essential resources were not available in FY03 to conduct the work proposed. Because the work was so well matched to the OE program goals, a programmatic decision was made to revisit and recommend funding for this proposal with FY04 funds.
