This grant is for managing and ensuring the long-term financial security of the EPA’s Compliance Assistance Center (CAC) Program. Established in 1996, CACs simplify environmental regulations and provide technical assistance to industries and government facilities. With current agreements expiring, EPA seeks innovative proposals to support existing Center resources and address future financial viability. This includes developing sustainable strategies for operations as direct EPA funding decreases. The goal is to secure the continued existence of these critical environmental compliance resources.

| Description: | Since 1996, in partnership with industry associations, universities and other government agencies, EPA has supported the development and maintenance of the Compliance Assistance Centers (Center Program) and Center resources. Each Center is targeted to a specific industry, group of industries, local government, or Federal facilities, and explains in plain language, environmental regulations that apply to that sector and offers technical assistance on compliance. Currently, four cooperative agreements supporting the Centers are in place. These agreements expire between April 2017 and September 2017. EPA is soliciting proposals from eligible applicants to manage the Center Program. Specifically, EPA is soliciting proposals from eligible applicants to present innovative and effective approaches and partnerships that will support existing Center websites and resources and address the long-term financial security of the Centers as EPA funding is reduced over time. |
