methods, or techniques related to
environmental education and training as
specified in Section 6 of the National
Environmental Education Act (Pub. L.
1Q|-6,19). This grants program" is

Background
" i r t. .' ' ~ ' ,.. ' "':. 1* .„:'<
On November 16,1990, the President
signedthe National Environmental
Education Act (NEEA). Section 6 of the
Acf requires that the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) solicit projects,
** select suitable projects from among
those proposed, supervise such projects,
evaluate the results of projects, and
disseminate information on the
I effectiveness and, feasibility of the
practices, methods, techniques and
processes'. The Federal Register
' published the Environmental Education
Grant Program regulations on March 9,
1992, under title 40 of the Code of
, FederaJ Regulations, part 47 (40 CFR
part 47).
" In Fiscal Year 1992, the fijst year of
funding, the program generated
extraordinary interest, EPA received
over 3,000 applications requesting over
, $100 million ancj awarded 21§ grants for
approximately $2,470,000. The size of the
awards ranged from $211 to $250,000 in
Federal funding. Each of EPA's 10
regions awarded approximately $140,000
for grants with a Federal share of
' $25,000 or less. At least half of these
. ': „ , I ^F~'
funds jwent to awards of $5,000 or less.
EPA headquarters awarded
approximately $1,000,006'for grants
rajiging between $25,001 and $250,000 in
Federal funds.
Most grants awarded in Fisqa.1 Year.
1992 were for a Federal share of $5,000
or less, while most of the applications
were for larger grants. In total, EPA
awarded 177 grants of $5JDOO or less, 33
grants between $5,001 and $25,000, and 9
grants between $25,001 and $250,000.
EPA headquarters awarded the 9 grants
in this latter category out of more than
640 applications.
The large number of applications EPA
received in Fiscal Year 1992
demonstrates the need for this program.
EPA is currently developing strategies to
identify potential resources for
, applications not funded in Fiscal Year_
1992 and for future years.
Appropriation
NEEA requires that 38% of the funds
Congress appropriates in a fiscal year
for activities under NEEA shall be
available for the Environmental
Education Grants Program as described
in section 6 of the Act. This amount was
$2,470,000 in Fiscal Year 1992. The
President's budget for Fiscal Year 1993
proposes approximately $2,800,000 for
section 6 grants. EP A wilt a ward grants
subject to the availability of
appropriated funds.
"'EPAwitfuse up to 10% of the funds
appropriated under section 6 to support
an evaluation of the environmental
education training and grants programs
under sections 5 and 6 and other
projects that support the goals and
activities of the Office of Environmental
Education.
Eligible Activities
A. What is the Purpose of the
Environmental Education Grants?
The purpose of these grants is to
stimulate environmental education by
supporting.projects to design,
demonstrate, or disseminate practices,
- methods, or techniques related to
environmental education. Funds can be
used to develop new programs or to
significantly improve the quality of
existing programs. Funds for the
program are not intended for technical
training activities directed toward
environmental management
professionals or activities primarily
directed toward support of non-
B. WhgfMSpecific_Activities Will be
Eligible to Receive Funding?
The eligible environmental education
• activities shall include, but not be
limited to:
1. Design, demonstration, or
dissemination of environmental
curricula, including development of
educational tools and materials;
2, Design and demonstration of field
methods, practices, and techniques,
including assessment of environmental
and ecological conditions and analysis
of environmental pollution problems;
3. Projects to understand and assess a
specific environmental issue or a
specific environmental problem;
4. Provision of training or related
education for teachers, faculty, or
related personnel in a specific
geographic area or region; and
5. Design and demonstration of
projects to foster international
cooperation in addressing
environmental issues and problems
involving the United States and Canada
or Mexico.
C. How Does EPA Define Environmental
Education Under the Environmental
Education Grants Program?How is
Environmental Education Different from
Environmental Information Under This
Program?
EPA is interested in funding
environmental education activities that
go beyond providing information.
Environmental education is a process
that leads to responsible individual and
group actions. Environmental education
activities may take place in formal or
informal settings. Environmental
education should enhance critical
thinking, problem solving, and effective
decision-making skills. Education
processes may include, but are not
necessarily limited to, observing,
measuring, classifying, experimenting,
and other data gathering techniques that
assist individuals in discussing,
inferring, predicting, and interpreting
information about environmental issues.
Environmental education should engage
and motivate individuals as well as
enable them to weigh various sides of
an environmental issue to make
informed and responsible decisions.
Environmental information, by itself,
is not environmental education,
although such information may be an
essential element of an educational
effort. Environmental information
provides facts or opinions about
environmental issues or problems, but
does not necessarily enhance critical
thinking, problem solving, or effective
decision-making skills.

D. Who May Submit Pre-applications
and May an Applicant Submit More
Than One?
Any local or tribal education agency,
college or university, state education or
environmental agency, not-for-profit
organization, or noncommercial
educational broadcasting entity may
submit a pre-application upon
publication of this solicitation. These
terms are defined in Section 3 of the
NEEA and 40 CFR 47.105.
No organization can have two grants
for the same project at one time. EPA
will consider only one pre-application
for a given project.
E. May a Teacher/Educator Apply?
Only organizations and institutions—
not individuals—are eligible. Educators
may have their institution or association
apply. The qualifications of those
individuals participating in the proposed
project will be an important factor in the
selection process.
Funding Priorities
F. What Type of Projects Will Have the
Best Chance of Being Funded?
To increase the chance of successfully
competing for funding, the applicant's
project should meet the following
objectives and criteria.
1. The project should meet one or
more of the following EPA objectives:
a. To improve environmental
education by enhancing environmental
teaching skills;
b. To facilitate communication,
information exchange, and partnerships;
and/or
c. To motivate the general public to be
more environmentally conscious,
resulting in informed decisions about the
environment.
2. The project should also develop an
environmental education practice,
method, or technique which:
a. Is new or significantly improved;
b. May have wide application; and
c. Addresses an environmental issue
which is of a high priority.
The terms discussed above are
relative terms which can be defined
differently among various schools,
communities, states, or regions. For
example, EPA may consider a project
new or significantly improved if it is
new in a given community. Similarly, a
project may have a wide application if it
can serve as a model program in other
schools, communities, states, or regions.
Finally, the degree to which a project
addresses a high priority environmental
issue will vary and must be defined by
applicants according to their local
environmental concerns. An
environmental issue relates to various
problems such as air, water, or
hazardous waste contamination.
Each pre-application should define
these terms as they relate to the specific
project and include a succinct
explanation of how the project is new or
significantly improved, how it can serve
as a model in other settings, and how it
addresses a high-priority environmental
issue.
3. The project should also focus on
one or more of the following items:
a. Building state, local, or tribal
government capacity to develop and
deliver environmental education
programs;
b. Closing gaps identified by the
applicant among existing environmental
education programs;
c. Promoting equity in the field of
environmental education by increasing
educational opportunities for minorities
and other traditionally under-
represented populations such as senior
citizens and the disabled; or
d. Teaching about risk reduction,
pollution prevention, or geographic
protection as potential strategies for
addressing environmental problems or
issues. (These terms are defined below
in Supplemental Information).
G. How Much Money May be Requested
and What Size Grant Application has
the Best Chance of Being Funded?
The statutory ceiling for any one grant
is $250,000 in Federal funds. EPA
headquarters awards grants with a
Federal share between $25,001 and
$250,000. EPA's 10 regional offices
award grants of up to $25,000 in Federal
funds. In Fiscal Year 1992, EPA
headquarters awarded only 9 grants
while the regions awarded 210. In Fiscal
Year 1993, the overwhelming majority of
grants will be awarded by the regions.
The law requires that at least 25% of all
funds appropriated under section 6 in a
given fiscal year shall be for grant
awards of $5,000 or less in Federal
funds. In Fiscal Year 1993, EPA's regions
expect to award over 50% of their funds
under section 6 for grants for a Federal
share of $5,000 or less. EPA strongly
encourages that applicants request small
grants of $5,000 or less in Federal
funding.
H. Are Matching Funds Required?
Yes. Federal funds for projects shall
not exceed 75% of the total cost of such
projects. EPA encourages non-Federal
matching shares of greater than 25%.
The non-Federal share of project costs
may be provided in cash or by in-kind
contributions and other noncash
support. In-kind contributions often
include salaries or other verifiable costs.
In the case of salaries, applicants may
use either minimum wage or fair market
value. The proposed match, including
the value of in-kind contributions, is
subject to negotiation with EPA. All
grants are subject to audit, so the value
of in-kind contributions must be
carefully documented.
The matching (non-Federal) share is a
percentage of the entire cost of the
project. If the 75% Federal portion is
$5,000, then the entire project should, at
a minimum, have a budget of $6,667,
with the recipient providing a
contribution of $1,667. The amount of
non-Federal funds, including in-kind
contributions, must be briefly itemized
in Block 15 of the SF 424 included at the
end of this notice.
The Pre-Application
/. What is a Pre-application?
A pre-application is the "Application
for Federal Assistance" form (Standard
Form 424 or SF 424) and a work plan
(described below). These documents
contain all the information EPA needs to
evaluate the merits of your pre-
application. Applicants will not be
asked to submit additional information
to support their projects, except that
finalists may be asked to submit various
forms necessary to complete a formal
application.(e.g., a "Certification
Regarding Debarment, Suspension, and
Other Responsibility Matters" form).
/. How Must the Pre-application be
Submitted and Specifically What Must
the SF424 and Work Plan Include?
The applicant must submit one
original—signed by a person authorized
to receive funds for the applicant—and
two copies of the pre-application. Pre-
applications must be reproducible (i.e.,
stapled once in the upper left hand
corner, on white paper, and with page
numbers in the upper right hand corner).
Pre-applications may not include
brochures, video tapes, or any other
material not described in Question J.2.
As described above, a pre-application
contains an SF 424 and a work plan. The
following describes what an SF 424 and
a work plan are and what they must
contain.
1. Application for Federal Assistance
(SF 424), An SF 424 is an official form
required for all Federal grants. A
completed SF 424 must be submitted as
part of your pre-application. This form,
along with instructions are included at
the end of this notice.
2, Work Plan. A work plan describes
the applicant's proposed project. Work
plans must be no more than 10 pages
total for requests for a Federal share of
more than $5,000 and no more than 5

/C, When and Where Must, Pre-
applications be Submitted?
An original plus two copies of the pre-
application must be mailed to EPA
postmarked no later than Friday,
January 15, 1993. Pre-applications
requesting $25,000 or less in Federal
furjds must be submitted to the EPA
regional office for the region where the
applicant is located. Pre-applications for
a Federal share of more than $25,000
and up to $250,000 must be submitted to
EPA's headquarters in Washington, DC.
A list of addresses is included at the end
of this notice.
Review and Selection Process
L. How Will Pre-applications be
Reviewed?
EPA will select environmental
educators external to the agency to
assist in the review and evaluation. Pre-
applications will be screened to ensure
they meet all eligible activities
described in Questions A, B, C, D, and E.
Reviewers will also evaluate the degree
to which the pre-applications meet
EPA's objectives and other criteria as
discussed in Question F. In Fiscal Year
1992, EPA disqualified a significant
portion of the applicants during this
process because applicants did not meet
EPA's basic criteria.
M. How Will the Final Selections be
Made?
After individual projects are reviewed
and ranked as described in Question L,
EPA officials in the regions and at
headquarters will compare the best pre-
applications and make final selections.
EPA will take into account geographic
and socioeconomic balance, subject
matter diversity, cost, and projects
whose benefits can be sustained after
the grant is completed.
Regional Administrators will select
the grants for Federal contributions of
$25,000 or less. The Director of the
Office of Environmental Education at
EPA headquarters will select the grants
for Federal contributions of more than
$25,000.
N. How Will Applicants be Notified?
After all pre-applications are
received, EPA will mail
acknowledgements to each applicant.
Once pre-applications have been
recommended for funding, EPA will
notify those applicants and request any
further information that may be
necessary prior to selection and award.
EPA will also notify those applicants
whose projects were not funded.
Grant Activities
O, When Should Proposed Activities
Start?
Activities cannot start before funds
are awarded. Start dates are currently
targeted for June 1,1993.
P. How Much Time do Grant Recipients
Have to Complete Projects?
Funcling may be requested for periods
of up to 24 months. However, flexibility
f n = rr:
is possible depending upon the nature of
the project. Activities must be
completed within the time frame
specified in the grant award.
Q, Who Will Perform Projects and
Activities?
NEEA requires that projects must be
performed by the applicant or by a
person satisfactory to the applicant and
EPA. All pre-applications must identify
any person other than the applicant for
approval.
R. What Reports Must Grant Recipients
Complete?
All recipients must submit final
reports for EPA approval prior to the
expiration of the project period.
Recipients must provide an annual
progress report for projects of more than
one year in duration. Recipients of
grants with a Federal share greater than
$5,000 may be expected to report on
quarterly or semiannual progress, as
well as final project completion. Specific
report requirements will be detailed in
the award agreement. EPA plans to
collect, evaluate, and disseminate
grantees' final reports to serve as model
programs. Since networking is crucial to
the success of the program, grantees
may be asked to transmit an extra copy
to a central collection point.
Fiscal Year 1994
S. How Can I Receive Information on
the Fiscal Year 1994 Environmental
Education Grants Program?
After the Fiscal Year 1993 Solicitation,
EPA will develop a new mailing list for
the Fiscal Year 1994 Solicitation. If you
wish to receive information on the 1994
Environmental Education Grants
Program, you must mail your request
along with your name, organization,
address, and phone number to:

Supplemental Information
In reference to Question F.3.d, EPA
defines risk reduction, pollution
prevention, and geographic protection as
follows:
All environmental problems pose
some possibility of harm to human
health and the environment (i.e., they
pose some "environmental risk"). The
term risk reduction refers to the process
of estimating and comparing the
dimensions and characteristics of risks,
and determining the feasibility and costs
of reducing them, to determine which
future actions to take to achieve the
f-, 'X .".

greatest reduction of the most serious
threats.
The term pollution prevention refers
to the reduction or elimination of
pollutants through increased efficiency
in the use of raw materials, energy,
water, or other resources; or the
protection of natural resources by
conservation. Pollution prevention
measures may reduce the amount of
pollutants released into the environment
as well as the hazards to public health
and the environment from such releases.
Many of today's environmental
challenges, such as non-point source
pollution (which originates from multiple
sources), habitat protection, and
biological diversity, require a tailored,
site-specific strategy that recognizes
regional variations. The term geographic
protection refers to efforts to manage
environmental problems that are
specific to the characteristics of a
geographic region.
