    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA NATIONAL COALITION TO SAVE OUR MALL, et al., Plaintiffs, v. Civil Action 00-2371 (HHK) GALE NORTON, Secretary of the Interior, et al., Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION On May 25, 1993, Congress authorized the construction of a memorial in the District of Columbia to honor members of the Armed Forces who served during World War II and to commemorate the United States’ participation in that war. See Pub. L. 103-32, 107 Stat. 90, 91 (1993). The act empowered the American Battle Monuments Commission (“ABMC”), in connection with a newly-created World War II Memorial Advisory Board, to select a location for the WWII Memorial, develop its design, and raise private funds to support its construction. On October 25, 1994, Congress approved the location of the WWII Memorial in “Area 1” of the District, which generally encompasses the National Mall and adjacent federal land. See Pub. L. 103-422, 108 Stat. 4356 (1994). The ABMC reviewed seven potential sites within Area I and endorsed the Rainbow Pool site at the east end of the Reflecting Pool between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument as the final location for the WWII Memorial.1 Finally, 1 Out of the seven sites examined, the ABMC originally selected the Constitution Gardens area (between Constitution Avenue and the Rainbow Pool) as the location for the WWII Memorial, but later decided to endorse the present Rainbow Pool site. in May, 2001, Congress passed new legislation directing the expeditious construction of the WWII Memorial at the selected Rainbow Pool site.

  • Publication 3319, 2021 Grant Application Package and Guidelines
    2022 Grant Application Package and Guidelines TABLE OF CONTENTS MAY 2021 DEAR PROSPECTIVE LOW INCOME TAXPAYER CLINIC GRANT APPLICANT: I am pleased to announce the opening of the 2022 Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) grant application period, beginning May 3, 2021 through June 18, 2021. We are excited about increasing the number of LITCs and the scope of LITC coverage this year and appreciate your consideration and interest. Under Internal Revenue Code § 7526, the IRS provides matching grants up to $100,000 per year to qualifying organizations representing low-income taxpayers in Internal Revenue Service (IRS) disputes and educating individuals who speak English as a second language (ESL) about their rights and responsibilities as U.S. taxpayers. LITC services must be provided for free or for no more than a nominal fee. To know more about the activities and accomplishments of organizations awarded LITC funding in prior years, see IRS Publication 5066, LITC Program Report. Publication 3319 outlines eligibility requirements for an LITC matching grant and provides application instructions. Topics include: n Statutory eligibility requirements; n Other eligibility and compliance requirements; n Application and selection process; n Standards for operating an LITC; n Reporting responsibilities; n LITC Program Office responsibilities; n Application forms and instructions; and n Reporting forms and instructions. This publication, including the appendices, is a good reference for LITC grant recipients and includes program and grant administration guidance for the grant year. Congress, the IRS, and the Taxpayer Advocate Service remain committed to achieving maximum access to representation for low-income taxpayers. Thus, in awarding 2022 LITC grants, we will continue to work toward the following program goals: n Expanding coverage in areas identified as underserved; and n Ensuring that grant recipients demonstrate that they are serving geographic areas with sizable populations eligible for and requiring LITC services.

In many respects our interaction with wilderness has shaped our nation and influenced the character of our citizens. Our remaining wildlands now provide important refuges for animal and plant species that were once common, but have not faired well with the rapid development of our nation. These wildlands also provide immense recreational opportunities and places where people can find refuge and tranquility from this troubled world. Despite the importance of America’s wildlands to the people of our nation, the remaining wildlands have never been mapped across ownerships throughout the United States in a consistent manner.
