PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

Fiscal Year 2015: In FY2015 this program provided 115 tribal governments with funding to develop capacity and conduct approved activities under the CFDA. Funded tribes are developing tribal air quality management programs, increasing environmental protection for areas under their jurisdiction, through development of programs to implement Clean Air Act and other air quality protections for Indian country, and their accomplishments include greatly increased activity and representation of tribal interests in local, regional and national air quality management, a desirable outcome. In addition, there were 84 tribes that had completed emissions inventories, one additional tribe with a castnet monitor, and one more tribe with an approved Tribal Implementation Plan, a significant accomplishment towards enhanced environmental protection in Indian country. Tribes also completed a number of activities, including completing requests for CAA eligibility for both administrative and programmatic CAA elements and identifying new major sources of emissions on reservations.

66.039 NATIONAL CLEAN DIESEL EMISSIONS REDUCTION PROGRAM

DERA Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program

FEDERAL AGENCY:

Office of Air and Radiation, Environmental Protection Agency
AUTHORIZATION:

Energy Policy Act of 2005, Title VII, Part G, 42 U.S.C 16131.
OBJECTIVES:

The Diesel Emissions Reduction Act, 42 U.S.C. 16131 et seq., as amended,
authorization includes the authority for EPA to award grants, rebates and
low-cost revolving loans to eligible entities to fund the costs of a retrofit
technology that significantly reduces emissions through implementation of a
certified engine configuration, verified technology, or emerging technology for
buses (including school buses), medium heavy-duty or heavy heavy-duty diesel
trucks, marine engines, locomotives, or nonroad engines or diesel vehicles or
equipment used in construction, handling of cargo (including at port or airport),
agriculture, mining, or energy production. In addition, eligible entities may also

use funds awarded for programs or projects to reduce long-duration idling using verified technology involving a vehicle or equipment described above, or the creation of low-cost revolving loan programs to finance diesel emissions reduction projects. The objective of the assistance under this program is to achieve significant reductions in diesel emissions in terms of tons of pollution produced and reductions in diesel emissions exposure, particularly from fleets operating in areas designated by the Administrator as poor air quality areas.

Projects should also focus on promoting environmental justice (EJ). EJ is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.

Funding Priority 2016

Appet The National Clean Diesel Emissions Reduction Program aims to work aggressively to reduce the pollution emitted from diesel engines across the country through the implementation of varied control strategies and involvement of national, state, and local partners. Priority shall be given to projects which achieve significant reductions in diesel emissions in terms of tons of pollution produced by diesel engines and diesel emissions exposure, particularly from fleets operating at or servicing goods movement facilities located in areas designated as having poor air quality. Further, priority for funding may be given to projects which result in outcomes that benefit affected communities, those that engage local communities with respect to the design and performance of the project, and those which can demonstrate the ability to promote and continue efforts to reduce emissions after the project has ended. Poor air quality areas include areas in nonattainment or maintenance of national ambient air quality standards for PM2.5 and Ozone, and areas with toxic air pollutant concerns. In FY 2016, projects will be competed and funded under the Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program FY 2016 Request for Proposals, and the Tribal Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program FY 2016 Request for Proposals. Clean Diesel Emerging Technologies Program grants and SmartWay Clean Diesel Finance Program grants were not funded in FY2016.

Funding Priority for 2017

The National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program aims to work aggressively to reduce the pollution emitted from diesel engines across the country through the implementation of varied control strategies and involvement of national, state, and local partners. Priority shall be given to projects which achieve significant reductions in diesel emissions in terms of tons of pollution produced by diesel engines and diesel emissions exposure, particularly from fleets operating at or servicing goods movement facilities located in areas designated as having poor air quality. Further, priority for funding may be given to projects which result in outcomes that benefit affected communities, those that engage local communities with respect to the design and performance of the project, and those which can demonstrate the ability to promote and continue efforts to reduce emissions after the project has ended. Poor air quality areas include areas in nonattainment or maintenance of national ambient air quality standards for PM2.5 and Ozone, and areas with toxic air pollutant concerns. In FY 2017, projects will likely be competed and funded under the Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program FY 2017 Request for Proposals, and the Tribal Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program FY 2017 Request for Proposals. Clean Diesel Emerging Technologies Program grants and SmartWay Clean Diesel Finance Program grants will likely not be funded

in FY2017.
