Opportunity Summary:

The FY 2014 Hazardous Waste Management Grant Program for Tribes is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designed to help federally recognized tribes and eligible intertribal consortia strengthen their ability to manage hazardous waste in Indian country. The program is focused on supporting both the development and the on-the-ground implementation of tribal hazardous waste management programs, with a strong emphasis on building lasting program capacity. Consistent with the EPA Indian Policy of 1984, EPA frames this opportunity around the principle that tribal governments are the primary parties responsible for managing environmental programs on their reservations, and the funding is intended to help tribes carry out that leadership role more effectively.

Funding is offered through cooperative agreements, which generally means EPA expects substantial involvement during the project period, such as coordination, technical input, or oversight that goes beyond what is typical for a standard grant. The assistance listing for this program is CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 66.812. For FY 2014, EPA anticipated making about four awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $299,000. The maximum award amount listed is $74,750, and the minimum (floor) is stated as $0, which typically signals that EPA is not setting a strict minimum request size and that award amounts may vary depending on project scope, funding availability, and proposal quality. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated for this opportunity, which can make it more accessible for tribes that may not have available non-federal funds to contribute.

Eligibility is limited to federally recognized tribes and intertribal consortia, with additional details and any conditions spelled out in the full announcement (particularly Section III). Because intertribal consortia eligibility can sometimes depend on formal documentation, authorizations from member tribes, and how the consortium is structured, applicants would need to follow the specific eligibility instructions in the solicitation to ensure their application meets EPA requirements.

The opportunity was posted and created on April 14, 2014, with an original and current closing date of May 30, 2014, and it was archived on June 29, 2014. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement, especially Section IV, for the official submission process, required forms, and any details about due dates or methods of delivery. In other words, while the notice provides the main program purpose and the top-line funding details, the complete announcement governs what must be submitted, how proposals are evaluated, and how EPA expects projects to be managed and reported.

For applicants who could not access the announcement electronically or needed assistance, the point of contact listed was Denise Roy at EPA's Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery (ORCR), including a Washington, DC mailing address, phone number (703) 308-8458, and email (roy.denise@epa.gov).
