Opportunity Summary:
The Chemical Emergency Preparedness and Prevention (CEPP) Technical Assistance Grants Program (Funding Opportunity Number EPA-R7-AWMD-08-003) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 7, focused on improving chemical accident prevention, preparedness, and emergency response capabilities. The program is built around the requirements in Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act, which covers chemical accident prevention and encourages coordination between facilities that handle hazardous substances and the emergency response community. EPA notes that projects funded under this announcement may involve geospatial information, meaning applicants may propose work that uses mapping, location-based data, or spatial analysis to support prevention planning or emergency readiness.
In practical terms, EPA Region 7 is looking for proposals that help implement chemical accident prevention programs and strengthen emergency coordination with responders such as fire departments, hazardous materials teams, and local emergency planning entities. While the 2008 funding cycle emphasizes prevention program implementation and responder coordination, the agency also indicates continued support for other local efforts that improve chemical safety through guidance, technical assistance, and training. The overall intent is to reduce the likelihood of chemical releases and improve community readiness if an incident occurs, with limited funding targeted specifically to chemical accident preparedness and prevention activities.
Funding for this opportunity is relatively small and competitive. EPA anticipated making about four awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $90,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which lowers the barrier for eligible public-sector entities and tribal governments that may not have readily available matching funds.
Eligibility is restricted geographically and by applicant type. Projects must be performed within EPA Region 7 states: Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and/or Nebraska. Eligible applicants include city or township governments, county governments, state governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The listing also mentions "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," signaling that additional eligible entities or conditions may be described in the full announcement, particularly in the formal eligibility section.
Key dates for the solicitation show it was posted and created on June 5, 2008, with an original and current closing date of July 17, 2008, and an archive date of August 16, 2008. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement, especially Section IV, for submission methods, due-date rules, and other application mechanics.
