ACTION: Notice and request for comments. jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is publishing an updated list of EPA financial assistance programs SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:48 Nov 23, 2020 Jkt 253001 which states may choose to review under their Single Point of Contact (SPOC) intergovernmental review processes. These programs are also eligible for intergovernmental review by directly affected state, areawide, regional, and local entities if a state does not have a SPOC or chooses not to review an application for EPA financial assistance. EPA is also streamlining the intergovernmental review process and is offering the public an opportunity to comment on the revisions. DATES: This list is effective as of November 24, 2020. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: EPA’s National Policy Training and Compliance Division (Attention: Elizabeth January) at EPA_Grants_Info@ epa.gov or (202) 564–5310. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As provided in 40 CFR 29.3, EPA published a notice in the Federal Register on April 29, 2004 (69 FR 23502), which listed EPA financial assistance programs subject to review under Executive Order 12372 and Section 204 of the Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act (Section 204) and Section 401(a) of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act of 1968 (Section 401). This notice advises the public of the availability of a more current list of EPA programs and activities which states may choose to review under their official Executive Order 12372 SPOC process or are subject to the alternative review process described at 40 CFR 29.7(b) if a state does not have a SPOC or elects not to include an EPA program in the SPOC process. As part of a streamlining initiative, EPA is limiting intergovernmental review to programs subject to Section 204 and Section 401 or situations in which there are compelling policy reasons to conduct intergovernmental review. Executive Order 12372 exempts tribal programs from intergovernmental review. The list of programs can be found at: https://www.epa.gov/grants/ epa-financial-assistance-programssubject-executive-order-12372-andsection-204-demonstration. These are the only EPA programs under which Intergovernmental Review comments may be submitted to EPA although state or local laws may establish requirements for coordination of requests for Federal funding that cover a broader range of programs and activities. In the future, as necessary, EPA will update the list of programs subject to intergovernmental review at: https:// www.epa.gov/grants/epa-financialassistance-programs-subject-executiveorder-12372-and-section-204- PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 75009 demonstration rather than in Federal Register publications. In Fiscal Year 2021, EPA intends to revise the Assistance Listings for EPA programs in the: beta.SAM.gov Assistance Listings to indicate whether intergovernmental review is required based on this list. These revisions will take place during the annual cycle for updating the Assistance Listings for EPA programs in the beta.SAM.gov Assistance Listings. Comments may be submitted on EPA’s streamlining of the intergovernmental review process and must be received on or before December 24, 2020.
