EPA Order 5700.8: EPA's Policy on Assessing Capabilities of Non-Profit Applicants for Managing Assistance Awards

Training Requirements Waiver

EPA has approved a waiver to Section 19.0, Roles and Responsibilities, of EPA Order 5700.8. Beginning July 3, 2019, training specific to non-profits is no longer available or mandatory for EPA grant award recipients prior to receiving EPA grant funds. 

This order establishes internal controls for determining the administrative and programmatic capability of non-profit organizations applying for EPA assistance agreements. This order also enhances post-award oversight by requiring EPA award officials to take appropriate remedies against non-profit recipients that materially fail to comply with the terms and conditions of assistance agreements.
