SUBJECT: Proposed FFY 2013 and FFY 2014 Management Plan for the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Program

PURPOSE: To review the Community Services Block Grant Program within the State of New York.

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 9908(a)(2)(B), the Department of State (DOS) hereby gives public notice that on Wednesday, May 23, 2012, the New York State Legislature will hold a Public Hearing on the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Program and the Draft CSBG Management Plan for federal fiscal years (FFY) 2013 and FFY 2014.

CSBG is a federal program created by Congress in 1964 for the purpose of alleviating poverty nationwide. The CSBG is administered at the federal level by the Office of Community Services (OCS), a branch of the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), within the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In New York State, the Secretary of State is charged by Article 6-D of New York State Executive Law with administration of the CSBG program, including distribution of the federal CSBG allocation to New York State.

The hearing will focus on the CSBG program within the State of New York as administered by the Department of State, including but not limited to, the development of the New York State Department of State’s CSBG Draft Management Plan for federal fiscal years 2013 and 2014. The Draft Management Plan delineates the manner in which funds will be expended and how the State of New York will meet federal CSBG program requirements, including the monitoring of grant fund recipients.

Federal CSBG funds are awarded to entities in all counties in New York State providing CSBG services, including: Community Action Agencies and Community Action Programs (CAAs-CAPs), community-based organizations (CBOs), and Indian tribes or tribal organizations. CSBG fund recipients provide a wide range of programs and services, including advocacy and outreach, to economically disadvantaged persons in local communities across the State.

Persons wishing to present testimony at this legislative hearing are requested to contact: Alexis Conti, Committee Assistant, New York State Capitol, Rm. 522, Albany, NY, 12248, Phone: (518) 455-4371, Fax: (518) 455-4693

The New York State Department of State (DOS) is required by Federal regulations to provide timely public notice for the activities described below, which are subject to the consistency provisions of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended.

In F-2011-1077, the applicant (Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation, ECHDC) has certified that the proposed activity complies with and will be conducted in a manner consistent to the maximum extent practicable with the New York State Coastal Management Program. The applicant's federal consistency certification and accompanying public information and data is available for inspection at the New York State Department of State offices located at One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Avenue in Albany, New York.

The ECHDC proposes to conduct a Sand Sustainability Study (known as the Gallagher Beach Sand Sustainability Study, GBSSS) in order to determine if sand placed on existing beach surfaces (largely pea size gravel) will be likely to persist from year to year. The study is comprised of two project sites. The primary study location is at Gallagher Beach in the southern portion of the outer Buffalo Harbor and along property owned by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) - approximate address 1515 Fuhrman Boulevard. A secondary study area is located on a parcel owned by the ECHDC located south of the mouth of the Buffalo River and immediately south of Times Beach - approximate address 175 Fuhrman Boulevard. This latter property may also be referred as the NYPA Parcel as it was formerly owned by the New York Power Authority (NYPA) and used by NYPA to store an ice boom. Gallagher Beach is currently covered by a layer of pea size gravel, which appears to be stable and persistent. The waterfront area at the NYPA Parcel consists of a mixture of gravel, stone, and miscellaneous debris.

According to information provided to the Department of State, the GBSSS will include placement of a total of approximately 1,400 cubic yards of sand across the two locations. At each location, the sand will be placed in a continuous layer approximately 1 foot thick. Each test plot will be up to 100 feet in width. The sand will be placed from the upland end of the beach extending into the water to a depth of approximately three feet. Of that volume, approximately 950 cubic yards (divided between three test plots) will be placed below the ordinary high water mark, OHWM, (elev. 573 4 IGLD (International Great Lakes datum 1985). The sand will be surveyed immediately after placement in the Fall of 2012 and again in the spring of 2013. It will be inspected at least monthly throughout the winter, snow accumulation and harbor freeze-over permitting. The results of the field test will be used to help determine the next step in the beach development process. Such steps might include full scale beach development, or additional tests to determine if modifications to the sand placement design might increase its sustainability. No alternative actions are proposed at this time.

Any interested parties and/or agencies desiring to express their views concerning the above proposed activities may do so by filing their comments, in writing, no later than 4:30 p.m., 30 days from the date of publication of this notice, or, close of business on June 02, 2012.
