Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act (CERCLA) or Superfund, Section 128(a); Notice of Grant Funding
Guidance for State and Tribal Response Programs for FY2011
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will begin to accept
requests, from December 1, 2010 through January 31, 2011, for grants to
supplement State and Tribal Response Programs. This notice provides
guidance on eligibility for funding, use of funding, grant mechanisms
and process for awarding funding, the allocation system for
distribution of funding, and terms and reporting under these grants.
EPA has consulted with state and tribal officials in developing this
guidance.
The primary goal of this funding is to ensure that state and tribal
response programs include, or are taking reasonable steps to include,
certain elements and a public record. Another goal is to provide
funding for other activities that increase the number of response
actions conducted or overseen by a state or tribal response program.
This funding is not intended to supplant current state or tribal
funding for their response programs. Instead, it is to supplement their
funding to increase their response capacity.
For fiscal year 2011, EPA will consider funding requests up to a
maximum of $1.3 million per state or tribe. Subject to the availability
of funds, EPA regional personnel will be available to provide technical
assistance to states and tribes as they apply for and carry out these
grants.
DATES: This action is effective as of December 1, 2010. EPA expects to
make non-competitive grant awards to states and tribes which apply
during fiscal year 2011.
ADDRESSES: Mailing addresses for U.S. EPA Regional Offices and U.S. EPA
Headquarters can be located at http://www.epa.gov/brownfields.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The U.S. EPA's Office of Solid Waste
and Emergency Response, Office of Brownfields and Land Revitalization,
