Abstract:
Authorized under the Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, and Revived Economies of the Gulf Coast States Act (RESTORE Act) (P.L. 112-141), the Department of the Treasury implements several provisions of the Act, more specifically the Direct Component and the Centers of Excellence Research Grants Program. These programs require Treasury to award grants from the Gulf Coast Restoration Trust Fund (Trust Fund) equally to the five Gulf Coast States impacted by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. The Direct Component recipients include Alabama, 23 Florida counties, Louisiana, 20 Louisiana parishes, Mississippi, and Texas. Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas equally share the Centers of Excellence Research Grants Program allocations from Trust Fund deposits.
