Obama Administration Announces Availability
of $3.9 Billion to Invest in Smart Grid Technologies and Electric
Transmission Infrastructure
Recovery Act Funding Will Create Jobs, Help Modernize Nation’s
Electric Grid
Washington, DC – U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced
today that the Department of Energy is soliciting applications
for $3.9 billion in grants to support efforts to modernize the
electric grid, allowing for greater integration of renewable
energy sources while increasing the reliability, efficiency and
security of the nation’s transmission and distribution system,
as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
“These investments will be used to develop a smart, strong
and secure electrical grid that will help integrate renewable
resources onto the grid, deliver power more reliably and effectively
with less environmental impact, and create new jobs across the
country,” said Secretary Chu. “By investing in updating
the grid now, we will lower utility bills for American families
and businesses, lessen our dependence on oil, and help advance
a clean energy future for the nation.”
Secretary Chu announced the release of the final Funding Opportunity
Announcements (FOA) for $3.9 billion in Recovery Act funds. Approximately
$3.3 billion for the Smart Grid Investment Grant Program and
$615 million for smart grid demonstration projects will help
develop and implement smart grid technologies across the country.
As part of the Smart Grid Investment Grant Program, DOE will
provide cost-shared grants to support manufacturing, purchasing
and installation of existing smart grid technologies that can
be deployed on a commercial scale. Funding under the Smart Grid
Demonstration Program will be used to demonstrate how emerging
technologies can be applied in innovative ways within the electric
delivery system to provide integrated and economically-feasible
solutions. The Investment Grant program is intended to enable
smart grid functions on the electric system as soon as possible,
while the Demonstration program is aimed at identifying and developing
new and more cost-effective smart grid equipment, tools, techniques,
and system configurations that can significantly improve upon
today’s technologies.
The final FOAs reflect the more than 600 comments DOE received
on the draft solicitations. The Department previously announced
that while the maximum award limits for both programs were being
increased, the Department will support projects of all sizes.
Under the final solicitations, the maximum award for the Smart
Grid Investment Grants will be $200 million; the maximum award
for the Smart Grid Demonstrations will be $100 million.
The final FOAs are available at www.fedconnect.net.
Search public opportunities for the following reference numbers:
Smart Grid Investment Program (DE-FOA-0000058) and Smart Grid
Demonstrations (DE-FOA-0000036).

Democrats Take Action to Restore Fiscal
Responsibility
Democrats have taken action to restore
fiscal responsibility in order to reverse years of reckless spending
under the Bush Administration, and restoring PAYGO is a central
part of that effort. Last week, House Democrats introduced President
Obama’s “Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2009”
with more than 160 cosponsors, and it is expected to be brought
to the Floor in July. However, while Democrats continue to work
with President Obama to restore budget discipline, Republicans
are ignoring their recent record and attempting to claim the
mantle of fiscal responsibility.
Click here to read more about how Democrats are re-establishing
fiscal discipline to reverse years of failed Republican policies
and help us invest sustainably in our most important priorities.

California Democratic Party: Tell lawmakers
how budget cuts have hurt your family
On June 24, lawmakers cast their first
votes on a Democratic budget plan that would minimize the severe
cuts proposed by the governor. Unfortunately, Republicans refused
to support the compromise plan and again showed their willingness
to drive the state of California off a cliff to protect Big Oil
and Big Tobacco.
Budget votes will continue over the coming
days and Republicans must hear that the cuts they support will
hurt real Californians in real ways.
Please take a minute right now to write,
or submit a YouTube video telling legislators, how the budget
cuts will directly hurt your family.
http://www.cadem.org/budgetstories
Let’s make sure lawmakers hear that
we want a balanced budget solution that includes new revenues.

Hoyer Statement on National Defense
Authorization Act
WASHINGTON, DC – House Majority Leader
Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today in
support of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2010, which passed the House 389-22:
“I want to thank Chairman Skelton
and the Armed Services Committee for their hard work on this
bill. It authorizes $550.4 billion in budget authority for the
Department of Defense and national security programs at the Department
of Energy, in addition to $130 billion for overseas contingency
operations. This defense authorization bill is a serious effort
to reprioritize our defense spending to focus on the real and
immediate threats our nation and our troops face. While it includes
funding for a wide range of vital programs, I would like to single
out some of the most important.
“For one, this bill takes significant
steps to rebuild our Armed Forces, which have been worn down
by years of war. It provides $11 billion and $2 billion to re-equip
the Army and Marine Corps, respectively, as well as $6.9 billion
to improve the readiness of the National Guard and Reserve. The
bill also meets the President’s request by adding an additional
15,000 troops to the Army, 14,650 to the Air Force, 8,000 to
the Marines, and 2,477 to the Navy. In addition, it provides
for much-needed upgrades to our barracks and defense facilities.
“As you know, the new national security
strategy put forward by the Obama Administration includes redeployment
from Iraq and a renewed commitment to preventing Afghanistan
from becoming a failed state and a haven for terrorism. This
bill reflects those priorities by setting clear goals and timelines
for progress in Afghanistan, funding and training the Afghan
and Pakistani security forces for counterinsurgency, and requiring
the Administration to closely track all defense articles provided
to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
“Of course, the threat of terrorism
is heightened immeasurably when it is tied to the possibility
of nuclear proliferation. That is why some of the most important
provisions of this bill increase funding for counterproliferation
efforts within the Departments of Defense and Energy, including
the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program. Given the danger of
weapons of mass destruction in the wrong hands, there are few
more cost-effective investments we can make in our security.
“One of the most important things
we can do to protect taxpayer dollars is reform our defense acquisition
process—which is why I’m pleased that this bill takes
important steps toward reform, building on the weapons acquisition
reform bill recently signed into law by President Obama. The
authorization bill increases the size of the Department of Defense’s
civilian acquisition staff, which means less reliance on outside
contractors, and thus stronger oversight of the entire acquisitions
process. The result will be less waste and, I trust, net savings
for taxpayers.
“Finally, I am proud that this bill
sees to the needs of our troops. It expands defense health coverage
to better serve reservists and their families, enhances housing
for active-duty families, makes it easier for friends and family
to visit wounded troops during their recoveries, and more.”

Hoyer Statement on Budget Committee
PAYGO Hearing
WASHINGTON, DC – House Majority Leader
Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today after
the House Budget Committee held a hearing on the Statutory “Pay-As-You-Go”
Act of 2009:
“I want to thank Chairman Spratt for holding a hearing today
to discuss reinstating statutory PAYGO. This hearing is an important
step in the process as we consult Members across the ideological
spectrum for their thoughts on how to improve this bill.
“PAYGO is only one tool to get our nation's budget back
to sustainability, but it is a tool we must have. With PAYGO
in place, we will stop digging deeper into debt. By reducing
the amount of money spent on interest payments on the debt, we
will be better able to make investments in areas that make our
economy strong, such as health care, energy, and education.
“I look forward to working with President Obama, Chairman
Spratt, and our Members as we work to bring this bill to the
House Floor in July.”

The Federal government has a strong interest in protecting people
from violent crimes motivated by such bias and bigotry. Although
we at the Federal level are strongly committed to hate crimes
enforcement, we recognize that most such crimes in the United
States are investigated and prosecuted by other levels of government.
The pending legislation would assist State, local, and tribal
jurisdictions by providing funds and technical assistance to
investigate and prosecute hate crimes.
