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. 

  • See RAIN-2019-G08 for details.
  • Access the online training for applicants and recipients.

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.
