Authority CERCLA Section 128(a) (42 U.S.C. 9628(a)) authorizes a noncompetitive $50 million grant program to ‘‘establish or enhance’’ state and tribal response programs. CERCLA section 128(a)(1)(B)(ii)(III) authorizes a noncompetitive $1.5 million grant program to assist small communities, Indian tribes, rural areas, or disadvantaged areas to carry out activities outlined in CERCLA section 104(k)(7) (42 U.S.C. 9604(k)(7)) (i.e., providing training, research, and technical assistance to individuals and organizations, as appropriate, to facilitate the inventory of brownfields sites, site assessments, remediation of brownfield sites, community involvement, or site preparation). III. Background 1. General. State and tribal response programs oversee assessment and cleanup activities at brownfield sites across the country. The depth and breadth of these programs vary. Some focus on CERCLA-related activities, while others are multi-faceted, addressing sites regulated by both CERCLA and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.). Many states also offer accompanying financial incentive programs to spur cleanup and redevelopment. In enacting the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act (Pub. L. 107–118, 115 Stat. 2356), which added section 128 to CERCLA, Congress recognized the value of state and tribal response programs in cleaning up and redeveloping brownfield sites. Section 128(a) strengthens EPA’s partnerships with states and tribes and recognizes their response programs’ critical role in overseeing cleanups. Section 128(a) response program grants are funded with categorical State and Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG) appropriations. Categorical grants are issued by Congress to fund state and local governments for narrowly defined purposes. This funding is intended for those states and tribes that have the required management and administrative capacity within their government to administer a federal grant. The primary goal of this funding is to ensure that state and tribal response programs include, or are taking reasonable steps to include, certain elements of an environmental response program and that the program establishes and maintains a public record of sites addressed. Section 128(a) cooperative agreements are awarded and administered by the EPA regional offices. Generally, these response programs address the assessment, cleanup, and redevelopment of brownfields sites and other sites with actual or perceived contamination. Subject to the availability of funds, EPA regional personnel will provide technical assistance to states and tribes as they apply for and carry out section 128(a) cooperative agreements. 2. Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) and EPA Funding Opportunity Number (FON). The CFDA entry for the section 128(a) State and Tribal Response Program cooperative agreements is 66.817. The FON for FY 2021 section 128(a) funds is EPA–CEP– 02. This grant program is eligible to be included in state and tribal Performance Partnership Grants under 40 CFR part 35 Subparts A and B, with the following exceptions: Funds used to capitalize a revolving loan fund for brownfield remediation under CERCLA section 104(k)(3); funds received for a Small Technical Assistance Grant under CERLCA section 128(a)(I)(B)(ii)(III); and funds used to purchase environmental insurance or developing a risk sharing pool, an indemnity pool, or insurance mechanism to provide financing for response actions under a State or Tribal response program. 3. Application period. Requests for funding should be sent to the appropriate Regional EPA contact and will be accepted from October 2, 2020 through December 11, 2020. Requests EPA Regional offices receive after December 11, 2020 will not be considered for FY 2021 funding. States or tribes that do not submit the request in the appropriate manner may forfeit their ability to receive funds. First time requestors are strongly encouraged to contact their respective Regional EPA Brownfields contacts, identified in Table 1, prior to submitting their funding request. EPA will consider funding requests up to a maximum of $1.0 million per state or tribe for FY 2021. Requests submitted by the December 11, 2020 request deadline are preliminary; final cooperative agreement work plans and budgets will be negotiated with the EPA regional offices once final funding allocation determinations are made. As in previous years, EPA will place special emphasis on reviewing a cooperative agreement recipient’s use of prior section 128(a) funding in making allocation decisions, and unexpended balances are subject to 40 CFR 35.118 and 40 CFR 35.518 to the extent consistent with this guidance. EPA will also prioritize funding for recipients establishing their response programs. TABLE 1—EPA REGIONAL BROWNFIELDS CONTACTS FOR STATE AND TRIBAL RESPONSE PROGRAMS Region State Tribal 1.

II. Authority

    CERCLA Section 128(a) (42 U.S.C. 9628(a)) authorizes a 
noncompetitive $50 million grant program to ``establish or enhance'' 
state and tribal response programs. CERCLA section 
128(a)(1)(B)(ii)(III) authorizes a noncompetitive $1.5 million grant 
program to assist small communities, Indian tribes, rural areas, or 
disadvantaged areas to carry out activities outlined in CERCLA section 
104(k)(7) (42 U.S.C. 9604(k)(7)) (i.e., providing training, research, 
and technical assistance to individuals and organizations, as 
appropriate, to facilitate the inventory of brownfields sites, site 
assessments, remediation of brownfield sites, community involvement, or 
site preparation).

III. Background

    1. General. State and tribal response programs oversee assessment 
and cleanup activities at brownfield sites across the country. The 
depth and breadth of these programs vary. Some focus on CERCLA-related 
activities, while others are multi-faceted, addressing sites regulated 
by both CERCLA and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 
U.S.C. 6901 et seq.). Many states also offer accompanying financial 
incentive programs to spur cleanup and redevelopment. In enacting the 
Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act 
(Pub. L. 107-118, 115 Stat. 2356), which added section 128 to CERCLA, 
Congress recognized the value of state and tribal response programs in 
cleaning up and redeveloping brownfield sites. Section 128(a) 
strengthens EPA's partnerships with states and tribes and recognizes 
their response programs' critical role in overseeing cleanups.
    Section 128(a) response program grants are funded with categorical

    Section 128(a) cooperative agreements are awarded and administered 
by the EPA regional offices. Generally, these response programs address 
the assessment, cleanup, and redevelopment of brownfields sites and 
other sites with actual or perceived contamination. Subject to the 
availability of funds, EPA regional personnel will provide technical 
assistance to states and tribes as they apply for and carry out section 
128(a) cooperative agreements.
    2. Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) and EPA Funding 
Opportunity Number (FON). The CFDA entry for the section 128(a) State 
and Tribal Response Program cooperative agreements is 66.817. The FON 
for FY 2021 section 128(a) funds is EPA-CEP-02. This grant program is 
eligible to be included in state and tribal Performance Partnership 
Grants under 40 CFR part 35 Subparts A and B, with the following 
exceptions: Funds used to capitalize a revolving loan fund for 
brownfield remediation under CERCLA section 104(k)(3); funds received 
for a Small Technical Assistance Grant under CERLCA section 
128(a)(I)(B)(ii)(III); and funds used to purchase environmental 
insurance or developing a risk sharing pool, an indemnity pool, or 
insurance mechanism to provide financing for response actions under a 
State or Tribal response program.
    3. Application period. Requests for funding should be sent to the 
appropriate Regional EPA contact and will be accepted from October 2, 
2020 through December 11, 2020. Requests EPA Regional offices receive 
after December 11, 2020 will not be considered for FY 2021 funding. 
States or tribes that do not submit the request in the appropriate 
manner may forfeit their ability to receive funds. First time 
requestors are strongly encouraged to contact their respective Regional 
EPA Brownfields contacts, identified in Table 1, prior to submitting 
their funding request. EPA will consider funding requests up to a 
maximum of $1.0 million per state or tribe for FY 2021.
    Requests submitted by the December 11, 2020 request deadline are 
preliminary; final cooperative agreement work plans and budgets will be 
negotiated with the EPA regional offices once final funding allocation 
determinations are made. As in previous years, EPA will place special 
emphasis on reviewing a cooperative agreement recipient's use of prior 
section 128(a) funding in making allocation decisions, and unexpended 
balances are subject to 40 CFR 35.118 and 40 CFR 35.518 to the extent 
consistent with this guidance. EPA will also prioritize funding for 
recipients establishing their response programs.
