On Friday, Jan. 31, 2003, EPA is hosting a national public forum in Washington, DC to discuss water and wastewater infrastructure in the United States. EPA’s goal is to bring together stakeholders, including those from business, government, and academia, to exchange information and views on management and sustainable financing of the nation’s water and wastewater infrastructure. This meeting is open to the public. For more information http://www.epa.gov/water/infrastructure/GapForum.htm. National Environmental Information Exchange Network Grant Guidelines EPA issued a federal register notice soliciting proposals for the Network Grant Program on Dec. 27, 2002. The President's fiscal year 2003 budget, which is now before Congress, includes $25 million for this grant program. Subject to the availability of appropriations for this purpose, EPA plans to select, through a competitive process, grant proposals that can be awarded to States, the District of Columbia, Federally Recognized Indian Tribes, and Trust Territories. The grants funds will be used to advance the goals of the Network by encouraging data integration efforts. Proposals must be postmarked and sent electronically to EPA before Feb. 18, 2003.
