Dear Applicant:
An application kit for submitting a request for Federal Assistance to the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is attached. Please complete all application procedures as instructed in this kit and
refer to the enclosed checklist to ensure your application is complete prior to submission.

Please consider whether your proposal is for acquisition or assistance. The Federal Grant and
Cooperative Agreement Act requires Federal agencies to use a contract to acquire property or
services that directly benefit the Federal government. A grant or cooperative agreement must
be used to transfer money, property, services, or anything else of value, that supports or
stimulates an activity to accomplish a public purpose of assistance authorized by Federal statute.
The SF-424 is only used for submitting proposals for Federal assistance.

The direct beneficiary is the determining factor as to whether a proposal is for acquisition or
assistance.  If the direct beneficiary is a state or local government or other recipient, and the
purpose of the support or stimulation is authorized by Federal statute, then a grant or cooperative
agreement is the proper legal instrument to use. If the direct beneficiary is EPA, then a contract is
the appropriate legal instrument to use, and an SF-424 is not appropriate

Please direct questions about completing your application, or general inquiries about EPA's
assistance program, to the Grants Administration Division (GAD) at (202) 564-5305.
                                                       Grants Administration Division

                        General                             IA.
Recipients of Federal financial assistance from the U.S. Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency must comply with the following
statutes.

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides that no person
in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or
national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the
benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any pro-
gram or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. The
Act goes on to explain that the title shall not be construed to
authorize action with respect to any employment practice or
any employer, employment agency, or labor organization (ex-
cept where the primary objective of the Federal financial assis-
tance is to provide employment).

Section 13 of the 1972 Amendments to the Federal Water Pol-
lution Control Act provides that no person in the United States
shall on the ground of sex, be excluded from participation in,
be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under
the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended.  Em-
ployment discrimination on the basis of sex is prohibited In all
such programs or activities.

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 provides that no
otherwise qualified handicapped individual shall solely by rea-
son of handicap be excluded from participation in, be denied
the benefit of or be subjected to discrimination under any pro-
gramoractivityreceivingFederalfinanceassistance. Employ-
ment discrimination on the basis of handicap is prohibited in all
such programs or activities.

The Age Discrimination Act of 1975 provides that no person on
the basis of age shall be excluded from participation under any
program or  activity receiving Federal financial assistance.
Employment discrimination is not covered. Age discrimination
in employment is prohibited by the Age Discrimination in Em-
ployment Act administered by the Equal Employment Opportu-
nity Commission.

TMe IX of the Education Amendments-of 1972 provides that no
person on the basis of sex shall be excluded from participation
in, be denied the benefit of, or be subjected to discrimination
under any education program or activity receiving Federal fi-
nancial assistance. Employment discrimination on the basis
of sex is prohibited in all such education programs or activities.
Note: an education program or activity is not limited to only
those conducted by a formal institution.

      ing discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin,
      sex, age or handicap pending against the applicant and/or
      entitywhich actually benefits from thegranL For example, if
      a city is the named applicant but the grant will actually benefit
      the Dept of Sewage, civil rights lawsuits involving both the
      ctty and the Dept of Sewage should be listed.

Jv*.    "Civil rights compliance review" means any review assess-
      ing the applicant's and/or recipient's compliance with laws
      prohibiting discrimination on the basis efface, color, national
      origin, sex, age or handicap. If any part of the review covered

      and/or recipient's jurisdiction. The "community" might be a
      university or laboratory campus, ora community within a large
      city. If there is a significant disparity between minority and
     . nonminority populations to receive serve, not otherwise sat-
      isfactorily explained, the Regional office may require a map
      which  indicates  the minority and non-minority population
