Formula and Matching Requirements:

Statutory Formula: Title Pollution Prevention Act of 1990. The statutory formula for P2 and PPIN grants is authorized by the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990. Organizations receiving grant funds through the P2 and PPIN grant programs are required to match federal funds by at least 50 percent. The federal government will provide half of the total allowable cost of the project, and the state will provide the other half. Thus, a federal grant of $100,000 would support a total allowable project cost of $200,000, with the state providing the remaining half equal to $100,000. State contributions may include: dollars, in kind goods and services, and/or third party contributions. In a detailed budget, the use of the matching funds must be documented. The match requirement may be applied at the time of award or at specified intervals during the project period. The grant applicant must document in the itemized budget plan the type of match to be applied and how it will be used. The grant project officer in the Region or Headquarters will monitor the grant recipient's compliance. If the match requirement is not met or is not applied at specified intervals during the project period, federal funding will cease and the recipient will be held liable

for all incurred costs.

1.712

With concern to P2 grants only: If a tribe or intertribal consortium is selected for an award and their workplan will be included in a performance partnership grant (PPG), then the required tribal match will be reduced to 5% as it applies to the total allowable P2 project cost. This reduction in match will be applied to the first two years of the PPG. After two years, the EPA Regional Administrator is required to determine through objective assessment whether the tribe or intertribal consortium still meets the socioeconomic needs test to warrant keeping the cost share at 5 percent.

This program does not have MOE requirements.
Length and Time Phasing of Assistance:

From FY 2016 through FY 2017,grant programs under this CFDA will award grants or cooperative agreements covering a funding period of two years. Funds will be released by a letter of credit. See the following for information on how assistance is awarded/released: Financial assistance under the P2 and PPIN grant programs is provided in the form of a grant or a cooperative agreement issued as a letter of credit by the federal government to the eligible grantee. Reports:

The

EPA includes reporting requirements for grants and cooperative agreements in the terms and conditions of the agreements. Agreements may require interim and final progress reports, and expenditure/financial, equipment and invention reports. Progress reports are generally required at least semi-annually. Specific reporting requirement are also identified in the Grant Regulations at 2 CFR 200 and 1500, as applicable. Program reports are required under this program. P2 and PPIN grant programs require grantees to submit budget information to the grant porject officer. The information should be included in the grantees' semi-annual progress report. Organizations that are awarded grants will be required to submit semi-annual progress reports during the life of the project to the grant project officer. The report should summarize funds expended, tasks accomplished, and results achieved to date. A final technical report is also required at the end of the grant/cooperative agreement. The final technical report should explain the prospect for continuation, further development of the pollution prevention effort, and offer a project evaluation. The P2 and PPIN grant programs require the grantee to submit semi-annual progress reports to the grant project officer. The report should explain the work executed under the project(s), whether or not the project's milestones were achieved, and the staff required at the and budget plan for any remaining work. Expenditure reports are end of the grant/cooperative agreement. The grantee should submit this information to the grant project officer when submitting their final technical report. If the grantee proposes work that involves gathering, measuring, or tracking environmental data, the grantee is required to report its environmental performance to EPA. The information should be provided in the grantees' semi-annual progress report and final technical report. The reports should be
