Clitwe <br /> L&WCF GRANTS MANUAL CHAPTER 640.3 <br /> 9. Guidelines for Eligible Shelterrd Facilities. For L&WCF assisted swiaajpg <br /> pools and ice skating rinks located in areas which meet the cold climatic <br /> 1110 <br /> criteria described below, shelters of permanent construction may partially <br /> or completely enclose these facilities to protect them against cold 4:::::: <br /> weather conditions and thereby significantly increase the recreation <br /> opportunities provided. <br /> A. Funding Limitation. A qualified State may use up to 10 percent of <br /> its annual apportionment for eligible sheltered facilities. The <br /> amount to be charged against this allowance will be computed based <br /> upon the Fund assistance provided for the entire enclosed facility, <br /> rather than the Fund assistance provided only for the shelter. <br /> If a State does not use the entire 10 percent of its fully obligated <br /> fiscal year apportionment for sheltered facilities, the remaining <br /> balance may be credited to subsequent apportionment allowances. For <br /> example, where only 5 percent of a fully obligated fiscal year <br /> apportionment has been used, the subsequent fiscal year apportionment <br /> allowance would be 10 percent plus the 5 percent balance carried over <br /> from the previous fiscal year. A credit may be carried for two <br /> subsequent fiscal years. <br /> If a Fund-assisted swimming pool or ice skating rink without a <br /> shelter is developed under a project approved after September 28, <br /> 1976, and a separate project is later submitted to shelter the pool <br /> or rink, the combined amount of Fund assistance provided for both the <br /> facility and its shelter will be credited against available <br /> 111/1 <br /> allowances. If the Fund-assisted pool or rink was developed under a <br /> project approved prior to September 28, 1976, and a separate project <br /> is later submitted to shelter the facility, only the Fund assistance <br /> provided for the shelter will be credited against available <br /> allowances. <br /> Also, Fund assistance may be used to develop a shelter for a swimming <br /> pool or ice skating rink that was not constructed with Fund <br /> assistance. In this case, only the cost of the shelter will be <br /> credited against available allowances. <br /> B. Use of Non-Federal Funds for the Shelter. State or local project <br /> sponsors may use their awn funds to shelter existing or proposed <br /> Fund-assisted swimming pools or ice skating rinks which are <br /> consistent with the criteria described below. In such cases, Fund <br /> assistance provided to develop the pool or rink will not be credited <br /> against available allowances. Proposals to shelter eligible <br /> facilities with State or local funds will be approved by the State <br /> Liaison Officer and the appropriate NPS Regional Office. <br /> "'Where the State or locally funded shelter is constructed concurrently <br /> with the Fund-assisted pool or rink, the total project cost included <br /> in the grant agreement will be that cost attributable to the pool or <br /> rink facility only.
