Upcoming Grant Competition from EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response

OSWER will award 4 cooperative agreements to support the development and implementation of an integrated waste management program covering RCRA Subtitle C & D, Underground Storage Tanks (UST), and Emergency Planning as described under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) Title III.

All Federally Recognized Tribes are eligible to compete for the two-year cooperative agreements of approximately $525,000. Candidate Tribes must be willing to accomplish all program goals. All tribes will be considered, regardless of their present stage of development. One cooperative agreement will be set aside for an Alaskan Native Village.

Formal applications will be mailed to all Federally Recognized Tribes during the first two weeks of February. Applications must be postmarked by March 22, 1997.
