Opportunity Summary:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a discretionary funding opportunity to support the continued development and ongoing maintenance of the Automotive Recyclers National Environmental Assistance Center, also referred to as the Automotive Recyclers Center. The core purpose of the project is to keep an established compliance assistance resource current and functional so it can continue providing automotive recyclers with reliable, up-to-date information on environmental compliance and pollution prevention. In practical terms, the grant is aimed at helping the automotive recycling sector understand and meet applicable environmental requirements, while also encouraging operational practices that reduce pollution and environmental risk.

This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the EPA expected to be actively involved during the project period rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The program falls under an environmental assistance and compliance support category, tied to CFDA number 66.305 (Compliance Assistance Support for Services to the Regulated Community and Other Assistance Providers). The EPA anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $350,000. The award ceiling was also $350,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). No cost sharing or matching funds were required, so applicants were not obligated to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.

The funding announcement was posted and created on December 13, 2010, and it listed a closing date of January 21, 2011, with instructions to consult the full announcement, especially Section IV, for detailed submission requirements, due date specifics, and acceptable submission methods. The opportunity was later archived on February 20, 2011. While the listing notes that eligibility is described more fully in the announcement (Section III), it broadly identifies eligible applicants as "Others," indicating that eligibility was not limited to a narrow set of government entities and likely included certain organizations meeting the criteria spelled out in the full solicitation.

For applicants needing help obtaining or accessing the full announcement, the EPA provided a contact person: Tracy Back at 202-564-7076.
