Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA HQ OPPT 2022 001
The FY 2022 to FY 2023 Pollution Prevention Grant Program is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funding opportunity designed to support two-year projects that help businesses prevent pollution at the source. The program focuses on practical, hands-on technical assistance rather than cleanup after the fact. Funded projects are expected to deliver services such as training, informational resources, tools, and direct technical support that help organizations change processes, materials, or practices so fewer pollutants are created in the first place.
A central idea in this opportunity is "pollution prevention" (often called P2), which is defined here as reducing or eliminating pollutants before they enter any waste stream or are released into the environment, and before activities like recycling, treatment, or disposal even become necessary. This approach aligns with the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 and reflects EPA's emphasis on prevention as a more efficient and cost-effective strategy than managing pollution after it has been generated. By encouraging source reduction, EPA is targeting outcomes that can include lower releases of harmful pollutants as well as reduced use of water, energy, and raw materials. The program also highlights that these changes can lower operating costs for businesses, making P2 both an environmental and economic strategy.
The opportunity is a discretionary competition and awards are issued as grants and/or cooperative agreements, meaning EPA may have varying levels of involvement depending on the specific award structure. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) listing associated with the program is 66.708, which is commonly used to identify the assistance program for administrative and compliance purposes. The announcement anticipates making around 20 awards, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of up to $800,000 per award, supporting a portfolio of projects that together expand pollution prevention capacity and implementation across eligible jurisdictions.
Eligibility is geared toward governmental and quasi-governmental entities that can deliver statewide, territorial, or tribal P2 technical assistance. Eligible applicants include states and state entities, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories and possessions (including the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico), and federally recognized tribes, as well as intertribal consortia. This reflects the program's intent to fund organizations positioned to reach businesses at scale, coordinate technical assistance networks, and implement programs that can demonstrate measurable environmental and resource-saving results over a two-year project period.
Key administrative details from the listing include the funding opportunity title "FY 2022 - FY 2023 POLLUTION PREVENTION GRANT PROGRAM" and the funding opportunity number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2022-001, indicating it is administered through EPA Headquarters and the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT). The opportunity was created on February 9, 2022, with an original closing date of April 11, 2022. The notice also directs applicants to consult the full announcement, particularly Section IV, for the official submission requirements, allowed submission methods, and any detailed due date instructions, since those specifics can affect eligibility and whether an application is considered complete and on time.Apply for EPA HQ OPPT 2022 001
