NOAA's Great Lakes Habitat Restoration Program has released a federal

of Concern. The FFO is available at _www.grants.gov_ 
<http://www.grants.gov>, funding number NOAA-NMFS-HCPO-2011-2002872. The

(_http://www.epa.gov/glnpo/aoc/_) under the Great Lakes Restoration 
Initiative as anticipated in the President's FY2011 Budget.

Applications selected for funding through this solicitation will be

purpose by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. NOAA anticipates up
