Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 Hazardous Waste Management Grant Program for Tribes is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funding opportunity designed to help federally recognized tribal governments and eligible intertribal consortia strengthen how hazardous waste is managed in Indian Country. The program focuses on supporting the development and implementation of tribal hazardous waste management programs, as well as expanding the administrative, technical, and programmatic capacity needed to address hazardous waste issues on reservations and other tribal lands. Consistent with the EPA Indian Policy of 1984, the EPA frames this opportunity around the principle that tribal governments are the primary parties responsible for managing environmental programs for their reservations, and the funding is intended to help tribes build and carry out those responsibilities in a practical, on-the-ground way.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the EPA expected to have substantial involvement with recipients during the project period rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal federal participation. The funding activity category is environment, and the program aligns with CFDA number 66.812 (Hazardous Waste Management Grant Program for Tribes). The agency anticipated making about four awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $293,000. Individual awards could be up to an award ceiling of $73,250, and the award floor was listed as $0, which typically indicates that award sizes may vary depending on proposal quality, program priorities, and available appropriations. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, which reduces the financial barrier for tribal applicants that might otherwise need to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind resources.
The announcement was posted and created on June 7, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 19, 2013, and an archive date of August 18, 2013. Eligible applicants were described as "Others" with clarification provided in the full announcement; however, the core eligibility message is that proposals were solicited from federally recognized tribes and intertribal consortia. Applicants were directed to consult Section III of the announcement for the detailed eligibility rules, which commonly cover items such as tribal recognition status, consortium authorization documentation, and any limitations on who may serve as the lead applicant on behalf of multiple tribes.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the EPA provided a point of contact: Denise Roy at the EPA Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery, with a mailing address at 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20460, phone number (703) 308-8458, and email roy.denise@epa.gov. The official funding opportunity identifier was EPA OSWER ORCR 13 04, and the title of the notice was "FY 2013 Hazardous Waste Management Grant Program for Tribes."
