I hope to hear back from them in a week or so. If all goes well, you'll be working directly with me. Keep your fingers crossed. Thanks, Scott Scott J. Cameron Acting Assistant Secretary for Water and Science, and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy, Management and Budget Office of the Secretary of the Interior Desk 202 208 0969 Cell 202 706 9031 On Mon, Jul 3, 2017 at 4:02 PM, (b) (6) wrote: Scott, I wanted to touch base and follow up on our conversation from last week. I have been reading about the multitude of functions of PMB, all I have found interesting considering their criticality to Interior's operations. I was most interested in the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and International Affairs for its role in funding, permitting, and managing coastal restoration projects, as well as managing environmental policy and compliance functions and for all of Interior as well as coordinating all ocean and coastal programs. I would be very interested to hear how those three offices interact under the Deputy Assistant Secretary. This sounds like an important intersection. Please let me know if my understanding of the following offices is correct. The Office of Restoration and Damage Assessment manages the Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) Program, including the Restoration Fund, which will be receiving from BP $490M annually through 2031 to fund coastal restoration projects in areas affected by the Deepwater Horizon spill. Project lists are created by seven NRDAR trustee implementation groups, one for each the Gulf states, a region-wide group, and an Open Ocean group consisting of federal trustees EPA, Interior, NOAA, and USDA. A total of $8.8B will be available through 2031 to fund projects on approved trustee lists. The Office of Environmental Policy and Compliance ensures that all of Interior's decentralized functions are maintaining NEPA compliance. This would include coordinating all environmental reviews for Louisiana wetland restoration and Everglades and Florida restoration including construction of stormwater treatment areas south of Lake Okeechobee, or any other coastal restoration project funded through the Restoration Fund. The Office of Policy Analysis supports the Department of the Interior's Ocean, Coastal and Great Lakes Policy Coordination activities across Interior's Bureaus and with other Federal agencies. In its role coordinating all of the Department's activities related to ocean and coastal programs, this office would provide support to all trustee implementation groups looking to identify, develop, and prioritize projects for funding through the Restoration Fund. I would love to work with this office and with the three reporting offices to help gain regulatory approval and initiate and manage critical coastal projects through to completion. I am going to send to Lori the same resume I sent to you on June 28. The version she has is two pages, and had not been the beneficiary of a large crop of edits as was the one sent to you. Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide. I hope you have a happy 4th. (b) (6)
