Region 10 Clean Air Act Tribal Program Funding
Funding Summary
FY 2022 proposals (draft work plan and budget) were due February 18, 2022.
EPA awards financial support and encourages tribes to partner with EPA to carry out Clean Air Act protections within reservations and tribal communities. Clean Air Act grant funding is available for federally recognized tribes and tribal consortia within Region 10.
In previous years, approximately $2.4 million has been available for individual awards that typically range from $20,000 to $250,000. EPA Region 10 expects similar funding levels for fiscal year 2022.
Region 10 anticipates awarding all the available grant funds to tribes and consortia with an ongoing air pollution concern and tribal capacity to address it. This includes applicants who have established eligibility under Clean Air Act Section 105 and have existing air grants, those who are currently performing Clean Air Act Section 103 projects, or those with whom Direct Implementation Tribal Cooperative Agreements (DITCAs) have been negotiated and are being implemented.
We expect to have very limited funds available for new projects and initial air quality assessment needs. Tribes or tribal consortia selected for funding may be offered less than the amount requested, depending on the number of proposals received and the Region 10 fiscal year 2022 budget allocation.
