BOEM-2018-00121 - Final Response May 10, 2018 - Release in part I Conversation Contents Financial Assistance Actions "Hollander, Mary" From: Sent: To: CC: Subject: "Hollander, Mary" Wed Jan 10 2018 14:51:09 GMT-0700 (MST) Steven Howke William Brown , Walter Cruickshank , Wallace Adcox Financial Assistance Actions Hi, Steve: I'm coordinating the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's response to Scott Cameron's memo and have a couple of questions on the guidance: • Paragraph 3.b - for Attachment C-1, my interpretation is that we should have a form for each cooperative agreement that is going to a college or university and based on the aggregate amount it would be approved by our Director (<$50K) or you (>$50K). Can you confirm that please? • Also, is there an option to flag specific studies for time-sensitive procurements - those that might need an earlier submission to our Acquisitions Management Branch due to posting requirements on Grants.gov or for those that might be coming up agains a field season? For example, there might be a specific period of time that the whales we're studying are migrating and we would need to have an award in place to meet those dates. Would you have a mechanism to review those more quickly than others? Finally, is there anything that we can do at the program level to help your review process? Thanks.

Can you confirm that please? Yes. Please continue to use the same form including the same information as you did during last years process for now. The only difference will be that you will use the above approval parameters. The forms C-1 and C-2 are not big enough to cover all of the information needed. We are developing an electronic submission and approval vehicle which will have the appropriate fields to fill out, but that will take some time. • Also, is there an option to flag specific studies for time-sensitive procurements - those that might need an earlier submission to our Acquisitions Management Branch due to posting requirements on Grants.gov or for those that might be coming up agains a field season? For example, there might be a specific period of time that the whales we're studying are migrating and we would need to have an award in place to meet those dates. Would you have a mechanism to review those more quickly than others? As of now, I don't have that option, however I am willing to work with the Assistant Secretaries and/or the bureaus to try to accommodate special circumstances. See number 6. I hope this helps. As I mentioned above, please don't hesitate to give me a call. Thanks, Steve Howke Senior Adviser to the Assistant Secretary of Policy, Management, and Budget Desk 202-208-2883 Cell 202-897-7283 On Wed, Jan 10, 2018 at 4:51 PM, Hollander, Mary wrote: Hi, Steve: I'm coordinating the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's response to Scott Cameron's memo and have a couple of questions on the guidance: • Paragraph 3.b - for Attachment C-1, my interpretation is that we should have a form for each cooperative agreement that is going to a college or university and based on the aggregate amount it would be approved by our Director (<$50K) or you (>$50K).
