Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a discretionary funding opportunity to support the continued development and ongoing maintenance of the Compliance Assistance Center Platform, referred to in the notice as the "Center Platform." The purpose of this work is to keep advancing a shared web-based platform that powers Compliance Assistance Centers, which are designed to help regulated entities and other assistance providers better understand and meet environmental compliance obligations. In practical terms, the Center Platform is described as a suite of comprehensive, web-based tools that can be used to create and operate full-featured Compliance Assistance Centers, meaning the funding is intended to sustain and improve the underlying technology and capabilities that multiple compliance-focused websites rely on.
The opportunity is issued under Funding Opportunity Number EPA OECA OC 09 01 and is administered by the EPA. The award mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates a more collaborative relationship between the agency and the recipient than a standard grant, often involving substantial EPA involvement during the project period. The program is categorized under the Environment funding activity area and is 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 (Expected Awards: 1), with an estimated total funding amount of $1,250,000. The notice specifies that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of eligibility.
A fairly broad set of applicant types were listed as eligible to apply, including state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Eligibility also includes nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The announcement notes that additional eligibility details are provided in Section III of the full notice, which suggests that while these categories are generally eligible, there may be additional conditions, definitions, or limitations that applicants would need to confirm in the complete solicitation text.
Key dates included a posted and creation date of September 2, 2009, with an application closing date of October 1, 2009. The listing also includes an archive date of October 31, 2009, indicating the opportunity was time-limited and later archived. The announcement emphasizes that applicants should refer to the full solicitation, including Section IV, for official submission instructions, acceptable submission methods, and any specific due date details or requirements, implying that the short summary does not contain all procedural and formatting expectations.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the EPA provided a direct point of contact: Tracy Back, reachable at (202) 564-7076. This contact information is intended for access and administrative assistance related to the solicitation materials rather than serving as a substitute for the full announcement, which would contain the detailed technical scope, evaluation criteria, required proposal components, and reporting expectations for the cooperative agreement.
