Opportunity Summary:
The Chemical Emergency Preparedness and Prevention (CEPP) Technical Assistance Grants Program is a competitive, discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 7, to support one-time demonstration projects that strengthen chemical accident prevention, preparedness, and emergency response efforts. The program is tied directly to implementing the requirements of Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), which focuses on preventing accidental releases of hazardous chemicals and improving coordination and readiness in the event of a chemical incident. EPA notes that projects funded under this announcement may involve geospatial information, which can include mapping, spatial data, or other location-based tools used for planning, risk communication, or emergency coordination.
For this funding cycle, EPA Region 7 indicates that the primary emphasis is on projects that advance prevention program outreach and improve emergency coordination with responders. In practical terms, this can include efforts that help facilities, local governments, and emergency planning and response partners better understand and apply accident prevention requirements, share risk-related information appropriately, conduct trainings or exercises, and strengthen working relationships among regulated facilities and emergency response organizations. While the focus for this year leans toward outreach and responder coordination, the region also signals openness to other local initiatives that fit the broader chemical accident prevention and preparedness mission, particularly where the work provides guidance, technical assistance, or training that can be replicated or demonstrated as a model.
Funding for the program is limited, with an estimated total of up to $100,000 available across all awards. EPA anticipates making up to four grants from this announcement, meaning individual awards are likely to be relatively modest and targeted. A key point in the announcement is that this opportunity is intended for a one-time project demonstration rather than ongoing or general operational activities. Applicants are expected to propose a discrete project with defined deliverables and outcomes, rather than routine recurring work that an organization would normally fund year after year.
Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The announcement also lists "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," indicating that additional applicant types may be eligible depending on the details in the full solicitation. To qualify, projects must be performed within EPA Region 7, specifically in one or more of the following states: Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and/or Nebraska. The announcement directs applicants to review Section III of the full notice for the complete eligibility rules and any additional limitations or requirements.
This opportunity was posted on March 18, 2010, under Funding Opportunity Number EPA-R7-AWMD-10-002, with an application closing date of May 21, 2010 (and an archive date of June 20, 2010). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, which means applicants generally are not required to contribute non-federal funds to receive an award, though the full announcement may still discuss budgeting expectations and allowable costs. Application submission methods and any specific due-date instructions are referenced as being in Section IV of the full announcement.
For applicants who need help obtaining or accessing the complete announcement, EPA Region 7 provided contacts: Tina Wilkins at (913) 551-7964 and Karen Sherrill at (913) 551-7461.
