Comment:
Not fundable under this solicitation. The proposal does not meet the Action Plan criteria or scope of activities. The rationale is good, and in general the action is known to be beneficial. However, the claims for potential benefit are not supported in the proposal through references or otherwise. The proposal specifically identifies the roads to be decommissioned. Cost share is good. The M&E effort seems ample, but the plans for it are not well described.
