Awards under this program will be used to effectively plan, manage, and allocate resources to encourage information sharing to reduce the incidence of crime and drug abuse, to provide responsive law enforcement services to enhance local courts, and to enhance local corrections and offender reentry. None of the following activities will be conducted whether under the Office of Justice Programs federal action or a related third party action: (1) New construction. (2) Renovation or remodeling of a property either (a) listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places or (b) located within a 100 -year flood plain. (3) A renovation which will change the basic prior use of a facility or significantly change its size. (4) Research and technology whose anticipated and future application could be expected to have an effect on the environment. (5) Implementation of a program involving the use of chemicals. Consequently, the subject federal action meets the Office of Justice Programs' criteria for a categorical exclusion as contained in paragraph 4(b) of Appendix D to Part 61 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Additionally, the proposed action is neither a phase nor a segment of a project which when reviewed in its entirety would not meet the criteria for a categorical exclusion.
