EPA is announcing a two-year grant competition cycle to support two-year P2 assistance agreements. EPA anticipates awarding approximately $7.94 million in federal P2 grant funding ($3.97 million in FY 2016 and $3.97 million in FY 2017) to state entities, federally-recognized tribes and intertribal consortia that propose to deliver P2 technical assistance and/or training to businesses. EPA will not issue a P2 request for proposal (RFP) in FY 2017. Grant funds may be used to support state and tribal-led P2 programs or projects that measurably reduce the environmental footprints of local and regional businesses. Achievements in this regard involve adopting new or expanding existing environmental strategies or solutions that significantly reduce or eliminate pollution from air, water and/or land prior to relying on recycling or waste clean-up. P2 awards may be funded in the form of grants or cooperative agreements and will be issued and managed through EPA's Regional P2 Program Offices. The amount of grant funding released each year is dependent upon Congressional appropriation and the quality of proposals received. The submission deadline is May 9, 2016. A webinar will be given by EPA's P2 Program on Tuesday, March 22, 2016 at 11AM to 1230PM PDT and will include discussion of the P2 grant RFP, among other program information.
