Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Projects to Implement the Action Agenda opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EPA R10 PS 106) is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 10 discretionary funding announcement focused on advancing Tribal implementation projects that align with the Puget Sound Action Agenda. The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the EPA expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than providing funds with minimal federal engagement. A notable feature of this opportunity is that the funded work may include the collection of geospatial information, which typically refers to data tied to specific locations such as mapping, spatial analysis, GIS datasets, or other place-based environmental information used for planning and restoration.
The core purpose is to select one lead organization to serve as a fund manager and pass-through entity that will issue subawards for on-the-ground Tribal implementation projects consistent with the Puget Sound Action Agenda. Instead of EPA making many separate direct awards to individual project implementers, the model here centralizes administration under a single cooperative agreement recipient that will coordinate, distribute, and oversee subgrant funding. The lead organization is expected to manage the funding and support implementation through a subaward process, which usually involves developing solicitation materials for subrecipients, setting selection criteria, conducting reviews, issuing subaward agreements, tracking performance, ensuring compliance, and providing reporting back to EPA.
This announcement makes clear that the funding is intended specifically for implementation projects, and it is separate from earlier funding that had been set aside to build Tribal capacity to engage in Puget Sound Action Agenda implementation. In other words, it is geared toward putting projects into action rather than primarily funding planning, training, or capacity-building activities (even though some degree of project management and coordination is inherently part of implementation). The funding activity category is Environment, and it is tied to CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 66.121, the Puget Sound Protection and Restoration Tribal Implementation Assistance Program.
In terms of scale and competitiveness, EPA anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $3,000,000. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would need to account for a non-federal share in their budget approach, consistent with the details and rules laid out in the full announcement. Eligibility is not stated in the short synopsis beyond indicating "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)" and directing applicants to Section III of the announcement for the complete eligibility requirements. That usually signals that EPA is limiting who can apply based on organizational type, experience, role in Tribal project administration, or other conditions described in the full RFP.
Key dates associated with this competition were a posted date of August 18, 2010, with an original and current closing date of October 1, 2010, and an archive date of October 31, 2010. The synopsis notes that applicants should consult the full announcement, especially Section IV, for the exact submission methods and any detailed due date instructions, which often include time-of-day deadlines, formatting rules, required forms, and whether submission must occur through Grants.gov or an alternate method.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement electronically, EPA provided a point of contact: Daniel Steinborn at EPA Region 10, reachable at 206-553-2728. This contact would typically handle questions about obtaining the full RFP, clarifying application requirements, or addressing accessibility and submission issues.
