Introduction
                                   By December 22,
                                   1QQ8 owners and
                                   operators of
                                   underground
                                   storage tanks
                                   (USTs) that
                                   contain
                                   petroleum must
                                   either upgrade
their existing tanks by adding corrosion protection and
spill and overfill prevention devices; replace existing
tanks with new tanks that meet all federal requirements;
or properly close them. In addition, owners and
operators may be required to clean up contamination
resulting from petroleum releases at their UST sites.
Upgrading an existing tank, purchasing a new one, or
conducting a cleanup can be a major financial burden,
especially for small and disadvantaged businesses.
Many businesses have experienced difficulty obtaining
loans and grants to finance these expenditures. Indian
owners and operators whose businesses are located on
federal reservations may be at a particular economic
disadvantage, because they may be unable to access
state funds available exclusively to state residents.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of
Underground Storage Tanks has prepared this booklet to
help you and other UST owners and operators locate
potential sources of financial assistance to cover the
costs of upgrading, replacing, or closing an UST, or of
cleaning up an UST release. This booklet describes 11.
federal financial assistance programs which, while not
designed specifically for UST work, do provide funding
that owners and operators may be able to use for these
activities. It also provides addresses and telephone
numbers for potential sources of financial assistance in
14 states.

-------
In addition, this booklet provides information on four
federal programs that are available only to Indian tribes
and/or individuals on reservations. These programs may
assist Indian UST owners and operators in obtaining
funding that might not be available from other sources.
Three of these programs are administered by the Bureau
of Indian Affairs,  and one is administered by the
Administration for Native Americans.

Information in this booklet is current as of the date of pub-
lication. However, funding for these programs is subject
to change. You are urged to contact these programs di-
rectly to determine whether funding is still available.

-------
Types of Assistance
                     As an UST owner or operator, you may be able to obtain financial assistance from three
                     types of federal or state programs: direct loans, loan guarantees, and grants. Some states
                     also offer interest subsidies. Each of these types of programs is described below.

                     Direct Loans
                     Some state governments and federal agencies may issue loans directly to eligible owners or
                     operators. These funds come from a loan fund. A program will generally assess your credit
                     risk before providing you with one of these loans. Alternatively, some programs contract
                     with private lenders or other institutions to conduct credit analyses and administer the state
                     loan programs. A state or federal agency may lend you money at the market interest rate,
which is the same interest rate at which governments borrow money (usually below the prevailing rates for private
borrowers), at a lower interest rate, or without interest. State and federal programs often allow you a longer period
to repay the loan than do private lenders.

Loan Guarantees
Loan guarantees allow you to obtain loans from private lenders such as banks or insurance agencies if you have
backing or some kind of "guarantee" from another organization. If you receive a loan guarantee, the guarantor
(usually a federal agency or state) will commit to repay your loan if you  are unable to do so. This arrangement
increases your chances of obtaining a loan from a private lender because the lender can be assured of repayment.

-------
Grants
Under a grant, a state or federal agency provides you with money that you are not required to pay back. Agencies
usually award grants for very specific, low-cost activities (such as tank tightness tests, release detection, cathodic
protection, and spill and overfill prevention). Because they will not recoup grant money, however, federal agencies
offer more loans or loan guarantees than grants.

Some states will offer you partial funding in the form of matching grants. Under a matching grant agreement, you
pay a portion of the costs, and the state pays the remainder.

Interest Subsidies
Under an interest subsidy, your state government reduces your total cost of a commercial or private loan by waiving
or reducing your interest payments on that loan. Interest subsidies may be structured in several ways, where the state
pays:

4 A fixed number of points of the interest rate being charged to the owner or operator (for example, the state pays
   two percent interest on the loan, and you pay the remainder, regardless of the terms of the loan).

4 Any interest payments in excess of a specified interest rate (for example, you pay five percent and the state pays
   the remainder).

+ A fixed proportion of the total interest payments (for example, 25 percent of all interest payments) and you pay
   the remainder.

-------
Federal Financial Assistance Programs
                       The following section provides information on financial assistance programs offered by
                       five federal agencies ~ Bureau of Indian Affairs, Administration for Native Americans,
                       the Small Business Administration, Rural Development Administration, and Economic
                       Development Administration - that may be used for UST upgrades, replacements, or
                       cleanups. Assistance offered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Administration for
                       Native Americans is generally available only to Native Americans and Indian tribes.

                       For each agency, a description of the eligibility criteria and restrictions for each program
                       it offers is provided. A list of regional agency contacts follows each description. You
                       should contact the appropriate
                        regional representative to determine
whether your UST needs would be eligible for funding under
that agency's programs. It is important to note that funding
through these programs is not guaranteed. Financing for many
of the federal assistance programs may be in flux, so you are
advised to contact each agency for the most current
information.

The map on the right identifies regional office locations for
these five federal agencies.

 Economic Development Administration
                       Public Works and Development
                       Facilities Program
 Assistance Available:
• Grants
                       The Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration (EDA)
                       administers the Public Works and Development Facilities Program. The program provides
                       grants to help distressed communities attract new industry, encourage business expansion,
                       diversify their economies, and generate long-term private-sector employment. These
                       grants are not available to individual owners and operators, but to public bodies or
                       organizations that own and operate tanks.

These groups may use the funds for public works projects that create or retain private sector jobs. Such projects
include construction, facility improvements, and modernization of existing facilities.

Eligibility Criteria
4 You may represent a city, town, Indian tribe, or village in an EDA-approved Overall Economic Development
   Program redevelopment area, or be a private or public non-profit organization or association representing any
   redevelopment area. Eighty percent of the country qualifies as an EDA-designated redevelopment area.

+ You may also represent an organization that is proposing a public works project that benefits a redevelopment
   area, even if your organization is not located in a redevelopment area.
25

-------
*•  You will receive priority if your organization assists in creating or retaining private-sector jobs; benefits low-
   income families and those who have been unemployed for long periods; fulfills the community's needs in a
   timely manner; and improves opportunities for the establishment and expansion of industrial or commercial
   plants or facilities.

Restrictions
4  Grants awarded range between $100,000 and $1.5 million.
4  EDA grants generally do not exceed 50 percent of the total estimated cost of the project; under certain
   circumstances (for example, in areas of extremely high economic distress) EDA may provide direct grants of up
   to 80 percent.
4  You must complete projects in a timely manner and within the schedule agreed upon in the grant documentation.

For more information on the Public Works and Development Facilities Program, contact your nearest EDA Regional
Office.

 State  Financial Assistance Programs
                         ^ outsell states nave active iinancial assistance programs for UST upgrades and
                         replacements, with two offering more than one type of assistance. Some of these state
                         programs also offer assistance with cleanups of releases from leaking USTs. Because the
                         eligibility requirements and conditions vary greatly among the programs, you will need
                         to contact your state program representative for more detailed information. Telephone
                         numbers and addresses for the fourteen state programs are listed on the next page.
Many state programs consider UST owners and operators on Indian lands to be eligible for financial assistance.
However, in some states, decisions on the eligibility of Native American owners and operators are made by the State
Attorney General or other state legal counsel. If you are a
Native American residing on Indian land and you own or
operate a petroleum UST, you should contact your state to
confirm your eligibility.

A map identifying those states with financial assistance
programs for UST owners and operators appears on the right.
