Qhe U.S. EPA Environmental Technology Initiative (ETI)
was announced by President Clinton in his State of the
Union address on February 17,1993. By promoting the
development, commercialization and use of environmental
technology, ETI will improve environmental quality while
fostering the creation of new jobs and businesses. ETI is
fundedatS36millioninFiscalYear 1994(October, 1993-September,
1994) and a proposed $80 million in FY95. EPA's
Innovative Technology Council (ITC) coordinates
ETIactivities Agency-wide. TheCouncilisworking
closely with a broad network of interested parties
including other federal agencies, die environmental
technology industry, non-profit groups, universities,
state and local governments, and others.
"Environmental technologies" include
technologies, goods, andserviceswhosedevelopement
is triggered primarily by environmental improvement
objectives. These include: products and services to
monitor and assess pollutant releases and exposure
levels; innovadvctechnologieswhichpreventpollution,
control air and water pollution levels, safely manage
wASK and remediate contaminated soil andgroundwater; and, manage
environmental data.
The FY94 Program Plan describes 73 projects including: seven
projects involving the metal fabrication industry aimed at reducing
emissions and compliance costs for electroplaters and metal finishers;
partnerships widi other federal agencies to demonstrate pollution
control, monitoring, and prevention technologies in Mexico, South
America, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe; and, die Clean Car
Technology Demonstration Program where EPA, die Department of
Energy and domestic auto manufacturers will demonstrate ways to
improve car and truck fuel economy and lower carbon dioxide
emissions. The EPA Technology Innovation Strategy is a blueprint for
the Agency's future efforts to create incentives for the development
and use of innovative technologies in federal and state environmental
regulations, to reduce trade barriers to technology innovation strategy,
and improve the competitivness of the
environmental technology industry in domestic
and international markets.
EPA is now in the process of soliciting FY 1995
project proposals. In the first solicitation, EPA is
seeking environmental technology proposals from
federal agencies, state governments (including state
colleges that are departments of state agencies), and
tribal governments (including Alaska Native
Villages). The second solicitation will seek p roposals
from non-profit groups, universities and their
partners. The third solicitation will be awarded to
Phase 3, Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)
projects. Candidate projects must have already
completed Phases 1 and 2 of the SBIR process.
