Sec. 35.137  Application requirements.

    (a) An application for a Performance Partnership Grant must contain:
    (1) A list of the environmental programs and the amount of funds 
from each program to be combined in the Performance Partnership Grant;
    (2) A consolidated budget;
    (3) A consolidated work plan that addresses each program being 
combined in the grant and that meets the requirements of Sec. 35.107; 
and,
    (4) A rationale, commensurate with the extent of any programmatic 
flexibility (i.e., increased effort in some programs and decreased 
effort in others) indicated in the work plan, that explains the basis 
for the applicant's priorities, the expected environmental or other 
benefits to be achieved, and the anticipated impact on any environmental 
programs or program areas proposed for reduced effort.
    (b) The applicant and the Regional Administrator will negotiate 
regarding the information necessary to support the rationale for 
programmatic flexibility required in paragraph (a)(4) of this section. 
The rationale may be supported by information from a variety of sources, 
including a Performance Partnership Agreement or comparable negotiated 
document, the evaluation report required in Sec. 35.125, and other 
environmental and programmatic data sources.
    (c) A State agency seeking programmatic flexibility is encouraged to 
include a description of efforts to involve the public in developing the 
State agency's priorities.
