More about USEPA's Competition Policy and the conference call
According to USEPA=s Competition Policy and USEPA guidance, the contacts identified in the GLNPO Funding Guidance may provide pre-application assistance to help potential applicants determine whether the applicant itself or the applicant=s proposed project is eligible for funding, and whether an applicant or proposed activity is eligible for funding on the basis of the Funding Guidance criteria. However, unless they were to recuse themselves from the review process, they generally may not respond to individual requests for clarification of Funding Guidance criteria.

The public conference call was held to provide an opportunity to answer Funding Guidance questions publicly within the constraints of the Competition Policy and Guidance.
