Weather Radio Transmitter Grant Program

On April 4, 2001, the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) published a Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA) in the Federal Register (66 FR 17857, April 4, 2001) announcing a new grant program, and the availability of grant funds under this program, to finance the installation of new transmitters to extend the coverage of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Weather Radio system (NOAA Weather Radio) in rural America. Included in the NOFA was a list of proposed NOAA Weather Radio transmitter sites that would be eligible for funding. The primary purpose of this notice is to provide an updated listing of the proposed NOAA Weather Radio transmitter sites. An applicant for a grant under this program may apply for a site included in this updated listing or in the original listing published April 4, 2001. An additional purpose of this notice is to provide a clarification of how to calculate the maximum allowable grant amount. Finally, RUS emphasizes again that it strongly encourages all grant applicants to consult and coordinate with the National Weather Service prior to submitting a completed application. Further details on the application process and eligibility are available in
