The FY23 Frequently Asked Questions and Answers were updated on 01/17/23 to include the following items:
- A.18. For the Nonprofit Technical Assistance focus area we were wondering about whom we can work with. Many of our current technical assistance clients are coalitions that consist of community organizations, non-profits, and community members. As part of this program, would we still be able to support these types of coalitions, provided at least one non-profit is represented, or will all of our clients need to be non-profits or nonprofit community development organizations?
The FY23 Frequently Asked Questions and Answers were updated on 01/27/23 to include the following items:
- A.19. In relation to Topic 5 ‘Land banking and brownfields’ activities, to what extent does EPA plan to be involved in the identification and selection of which EPA grantees or TBA recipients will be receiving our direct technical assistance?
- A.20. To what extent does EPA want to be involved in the layout, design, branding, and hosting of resource guides that come out? (e.g., does EPA only want attribution as a funding source on the materials, does EPA want to just receive raw text so it can manage the entire design process itself, does EPA want to host the resources on its website, does EPA want the grantee to host the resources on their website?)
- A.23. Since these will be National projects and since the specific recipients of the technical assistance are yet to be determined, for form SF-424, 16.b. “Congressional Districts of Program/Project”, how should this be answered?
- C.5. We do not yet have an Indirect Cost Rate Agreement approved by the EPA to attach. We are planning to simply attach a document listing our proposed indirect rate at the allowable rate of 5%. Do we need more/different documentation?
