Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program: Applications for Subawards, Public Outreach Information Collections, and Post-Award Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

To meet the goals and objectives that demonstrate the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA’s) and the Administration’s commitment to achieving environmental justice and embedding environmental justice into Agency programs, the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program provides about $600 million in 11 cooperative agreements funding to “Grantmakers” who will function as pass-through entities for the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Subgrants (2 CFR Parts 200 and 1500). Each Grantmaker will collaborate with EPA to design and build their own processes to receive and evaluate applications to fund the development of community-led environmental justice projects. With this Information Collection Request (ICR), EPA seeks approval for the Grantmakers to (a) solicit application for subawards and (b) to collect reports from recipients of subawards to track their progress. Collection of this information is essential for Grantmakers to select and distribute the subawards, and to assess and manage the funded projects, which ensures responsible stewardship of public funds; rigorous evidence-based learning and improvement; and transparent accountability to the American public. This ICR also requests approval for the Grantmakers to collect input and insights from communities who seek to apply for subawards, as well as stakeholders who have valuable experience and expertise in community engagement and empowerment. These information collections via (c) surveys and (d) focus groups will enable the Grantmakers to document local priorities, needs, and norms to ensure that they develop useful and relevant funding information. Feedback about access to the Grantmaker funding opportunity and other services will provide the Grantmakers with self-assessment tools to identify best practices and areas for improvement. Lastly, surveys will also be used to obtain expressions of interests for community members to participate in Grantmaker activities, such as reviewing applications for subawards and providing insights as part of a community advisory board.

Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) Management Information Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

The MEP Centers’ primary mission is to strengthen the global competitiveness of U.S.-based manufacturing by providing information, decision support, and implementation assistance to smaller manufacturing firms in adopting new, more advanced manufacturing technologies, techniques, and business best practices. Almost 1,700 knowledgeable specialists provide technical and business assistance. NIST MEP provides funding to the Centers through Cooperative Agreements. To ensure that Cooperative Agreement recipients are effectively disseminating the most current technical and business solutions to small and medium-sized manufacturers in the United States, MEP will collect and analyze information from the MEP Centers. MEP is mandated to collect this information by the regulations governing the operation of the MEP program (15 CFR 290, 291, and 292) and the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA, 5 CFR 1320). The advent of H.R. 1274 – Section 2 (Manufacturing Extension Partnership Program Center Extension) effectively removes the “Sunset Provisions” on the original MEP regulations (15 CFR 290, 291, and 292), and has made MEP a permanent investor in the Centers with the need to collect evaluative and informative data.

NSPS for Sulfuric Acid Plants (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart H) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Sulfuric Acid Plants (40 CFR Part 60 Subpart H) apply to both existing facilities and new facilities. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. A sulfuric acid plant is any facility producing sulfuric acid (H2SO4) by the contact process by burning elemental sulfur, alkylation acid, hydrogen sulfide, organic sulfides and mercaptans, or acid sludge. A sulfuric acid plant does not include facilities where conversion to sulfuric acid is used primarily as a means of preventing emissions to the atmosphere of sulfur dioxide (SO2) or other sulfur compounds. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS.
