Welcome to Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee Congressional directed spending form.
The funding available for member-sponsored projects are limited, and there is no guarantee that funding can be secured for a particular project. In addition, while project funding may be recommended in the House-passed version of an appropriations bill, only those projects included in the final, enacted version of the bill will be funded. Recipients of federal funding sponsored by Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee are asked to keep her and the appropriate staff member informed about the status of their projects.
Funding for projects designated in the enacted appropriations bills is administered by executive branch agencies as non-competitive grants or contracts. Designated grant recipients must complete an application from the relevant agency and are subject to that agency’s oversight requirements. For planning purposes, please be advised that any funding designated through the FY 2011 bills may not be available until mid-2011, and perhaps later, depending on when the bills pass and how quickly the recipient completes the application requirements. Note that federal law requires that an environmental assessment be performed for any federally-funded project involving construction or renovation.
All completed forms must be accompanied by a formal request letter addressed to Congresswoman Jackson Lee and a separate document outlining in detail the need for the project, a summary of the project, specifically how the requested funds will be used, and the project’s deliverables. All transportation and water and sewer projects must be on the State of Texas’s request list for consideration. This information must be received by close of business February 26, 2010 so that Rep. Jackson Lee has sufficient time to analyze it, possibly obtain additional information, discuss it with her colleagues and/or staff, and timely submit all worthy project requests before the relevant appropriations subcommittee deadline. Because mail sent to the House of Representatives is being substantially delayed for decontamination, DO NOT MAIL OR FED EX YOUR RESPONSE. Instead, the information should be e-mailed to FY2011Projects.JacksonLee@mail.house.gov. In addition to filling out this form in Microsoft Word format, please answer the appropriate questions in the attached Excel spreadsheet. Please email these forms to: FY2011Projects.JacksonLee@mail.house.gov.
* Please fill out the form(s) completely. Incomplete forms will not be considered.
