Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program (Funding Opportunity Number EPA OAR OTAQ 13 02) is a discretionary Environmental Protection Agency funding opportunity under CFDA 66.039, the National Clean Diesel Emissions Reduction Program. It is designed to support projects that cut harmful diesel pollution by achieving measurable reductions in the tons of emissions produced by diesel engines and by reducing people s exposure to diesel exhaust. While proposals can come from anywhere in the United States, the program places special emphasis on projects tied to fleets operating in areas the EPA Administrator has designated as poor air quality areas, reflecting a priority on communities where cleaner diesel strategies can deliver the greatest public health and air quality benefits.
Funding is offered through grants and cooperative agreements, meaning some awards may involve closer EPA participation and oversight than a standard grant depending on the project and award structure. The EPA anticipated making about 24 awards under this competition, using an estimated total funding amount of $9,000,000. Individual award sizes were expected to range from a floor of $30,000 up to a ceiling of $1,200,000, allowing both smaller, targeted clean diesel efforts and larger, multi fleet or multi site initiatives to compete. The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants needed to plan for non federal contributions as part of their project budgets.
The solicitation was posted on May 9, 2013, with a closing deadline of June 25, 2013 (original and current closing dates were the same). The opportunity was later archived on July 25, 2013. Applicant eligibility is described broadly in the listing as "Others" with further clarification referenced in the full announcement, specifically in Section III, which contains the detailed eligibility rules and any constraints on who may apply and under what conditions.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the EPA listed a point of contact: Faye Swift, reachable by email at swift.faye@epa.gov or by phone at (202) 343 9147.
