### Multiyear Implementation Plan under the Direct Component The RESTORE Act and the Treasury’s implementing regulations direct the eligible state, county, and parish applicants to prepare and submit a multiyear implementation plan to Treasury for acceptance before the entity can receive a Direct Component activity grant.

The plan should describe each activity for which the entity seeks funding under the Direct Component and as part of preparing its multiyear plan, the entity should make its plan available for public review and comment for a minimum of 45 days to obtain broad-based participation from individuals, businesses, Indian tribes, and non-profit organizations before the plan is submitted to Treasury for acceptance.

The state, county, or parish applicants may periodically update their plans by following the same steps, which are outlined in 31 C. F. R.

§ 34. 303(b). Treasury-approved multiyear implementation plans and amended plans are posted to this RESTORE Act website.

### Gulf Coast Region Definition under the RESTORE Act Under the RESTORE Act and Treasury’s implementing regulations, certain eligible activities must be carried out in the Gulf Coast Region to be eligible for funding under the Direct Component.

The Gulf Coast Region means: * In the Gulf Coast States, the coastal zones defined under section 304 of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 that border the Gulf; * Land within the coastal zones described in paragraph (1) of this definition that is held in trust by, or the use of which is by law subject solely to the discretion of, the Federal Government or officers or agents of the Federal Government; * Any adjacent land, water, and watersheds, that are within 25 miles of the coastal zone described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this definition; and * All Federal waters in the Gulf.

Treasury’s regulations explain further that Direct Component activities are carried out in the Gulf Coast Region when, in the reasonable judgment of the eligible entity applying to Treasury for a grant, each severable part of the activity is primarily designed to restore or protect that geographic area.

The state, county, or parish must demonstrate that the activity will be carried out in the Gulf Coast Region when they apply for a grant. ### Best Available Science under the RESTORE Act Direct Component activities designed to protect or restore natural resources must be based on best available science.

Best available science means science that maximizes the quality, objectivity, and integrity of information, including statistical information; uses peer-reviewed and publicly available data; and clearly documents and communicates risks and uncertainties in the scientific basis for such projects.

A state, county, or parish applicant must look at the nature of the activity, rather than the title of the eligible activity, when deciding whether this requirement applies. They must explain in their application how the activity is based on the "best available science" and cite peer-reviewed, objective, methodologically sound literature sources that support their determination.
