This series consists of (1) studies, (2) reports, (3) maps and charts, (4) minutes of staff conferences, (5) memorandums and (6) position papers created in the review of Federal project grant proposals by the Office of Planning and Research. Also included in this series are copies of forms used by the Office including (1) Notification of Intent to Apply for Federal Assistance, (2) Receipt of Notification of Intent to Apply for Federal Assistance and (3) Results of Reviewing of Notification of Intent to Apply for Federal Assistance. These documents relate to the reviewing of grant applications and environmental impact statements under the A-95 program which were determined by the personnel of the State Clearinghouse of the Office of Planning and Budget to be of interest to the Department of Natural Resources. Typical projects might include highway spurs, tollways, shopping centers, recreation areas, industrial parks and water and sewer extensions. This series is closely related to, and for the years 1974 through 1978 partially duplicates, Series 7 under Sub-Group 1, Office of the Commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources. During those four years both divisions of the Department of Natural Resources reviewed A-95 program grant applications. In 1978 the Office of Planning and Research was abolished and many of its functions transferred to the Office of the Commissioner.
