The Exchange Network Grant Program provides funding to states, territories and federally recognized Indian tribes to support the development of the Environmental Information Exchange Network. Now in the eighth year, EPA has awarded almost $144 million in assistance agreements to build the National Environmental Information Exchange Network. All states, five territories, and 56 federally recognized tribes have received grants to facilitate their involvement in the development and implementation of the Exchange Network. All states, one territory, and eight tribes have leveraged this funding to implement data exchange nodes on the Network and have shared environmental information with EPA or other Network partners.
Amended FY 2010 Exchange Network Solicitation Notice (PDF)
EPA is amending Sections I-E and V-A of the FY 2010 Exchange Network Solicitation Notice to make compliance with the Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) a Tier 1 priority. In the original notice, bringing systems into CROMERR compliance was designated as a Tier 2 priority. Please note that, as the amended language states, project narratives must describe how the applicant plans to reuse currently approved CROMERR solutions developed by other states (e.g, OK, DE, IN, TX, etc.) or the approved Central Data Exchange solution developed by EPA. Proposed budgets must appropriately reflect the adoption of an existing solution rather than the development of a new solution. Applicants should refer to www.epa.gov/cromerr for examples of approved state solutions and the Central Data Exchange solution. Amended FY 2010 Exchange Network Grants Solicitation Notice (PDF) (68 pp, 401 KB) contains the modified text, which is highlighted in yellow.
