                       NOTICE
At the time this publication went to press, Congress had not yet
passed our Fiscal Year 1981 appropriations. EPA was operating
under a  continuing resolution which allowed it to continue
ongoing efforts but not begin any new activities. Bills pending
before Congress at that time could reduce by as much as four
percent our overall budget and could cause a redirection of an
additional three percent. This document does, however, accurately
reflect the figures in the President's Budget request.

 Introduction
 ORD Extramural
 Program Guide—
 FY81

 The purpose of the Program Guide
 is to  acquaint  the  research  and
 development  community with the
 organizational  structure  of  the
 Office of Research and Development—-
 and  to make public ORD's extra-
 mural research program for FY 81.


 EPA's Office of Research
 and Development

 The  U.S. Environmental Protection
 Agency (EPA)  was established in
 December of 1970 to protect  and
 enhance the nation's environment.
 The  Agency was created by a Presi-
 dential  Reorganization Order  that
 combined   15   previously  existing
 units of the federal  government.
 This single organizational unit  was
 established to  better control envi-
 ronmental pollution, drinking water
 quality,  environmental  radiation
 and  noise, solid waste,  pesticides,
 and other  toxic  substances.

 The  Office of Research and Devel-
 opment (ORD) is  the  principal
 scientific component of EPA. Its
 fundamental role is to produce the
 scientific data and technical tools
 needed to  develop a national policy
 for the effective control of pollution
and  to promulgate  adequate  and
viable  environmental  standards.
ORD's research is supplemented by
general scientific  and  technical
research in other  federal agencies,
the academic community, and else-
where.   ORD  also  supports  the
Agency's  involvement  in  many
international  organizations  that
share environmental research and
development concerns.

More specific functions  of ORD
include:  (1) maintaining  in-house
expertise capable of  quickly res-
ponding to emergencies and giving
expert advice and testimony when
necessary; (2) sharing the results of
environmental research and devel-
opment  with a wide range of indi-
viduals,  groups, and agencies  in
ways that are meaningful and prac-
tical; and (3) giving expert scientific
and  technical  assistance  to other
EPA offices to help them formulate
environmental policy.

Authority  for EPA's research and
development programs  is included
in the annual appropriation acts and
through the following legislation.

    Clean Air Act, as amended in
      1977 (P.L. 95-95)
    Environmental Research,
      Development and Demon-
      stration Authorization
      Act (P.L. 94-475)
    Federal Insecticide, Fungicide
      and Rodenticide Act,  as
      amended (P.L. 92-516)
    Federal Water Pollution
      Control Act (P.L. 92-500)
      as amended by the Clean
      Water Act of 1977
      (P.L. 95-217)
    Marine Protection, Research
      and Sanctuaries Act

    Toxic Substances Control Act
      (P.L. 94-469)
EPA's Research
Committee System

During  the  past  two  years,  a
Research  Committee   system  has
been established to serve as the cor-
nerstone of ORD's program plan-
ning process.  Currently  there are
thirteen committees, each address-
ing a subject area corresponding to
the organization  and  function of
EPA's regulatory program offices.
Each Committee is co-chaired by a
senior manager from  ORD and a
senior manager from the correspond-
ing regulatory office.  The thirteen
Research Committees are:
    Drinking Water
    Energy
    Gases and Particles
    Hazardous Air Pollutants
    Industrial Wastewater
    Mobile Source Air Pollution
    Municipal Wastewater and Spill
      Prevention
    Oxidants
    Pesticides
    Radiation
    Solid Waste
    Testing and Assessment
    Water  Quality


ORD's Extramural
Program

The Office of Research and Devel-
opment (ORD) establishes its objec-
tives and priorities in response to the
overall  mission and  priorities  of
EPA and is highly concerned  with
solving specific priority problems in
addition  to  advancing scientific
knowledge. Although the scope of
ORD projects may vary from  fun-
damental research to  the full-scale
engineering demonstration  of  new
pollution control processes, all proj-
ects are directed at meeting specified
objectives  as   determined  by  the
Agency's Zero Base Budgeting Pro-
cess  (ZBB).  These objectives  are
described in each of the "decision
units," a planning category within
the ZBB Process. Each decision unit
has a pre-defined goal which  fits
into the framework of the Agency's
overall mission. A description of
each decision  unit  and the funds
available for extramural assistance
begins on page 6 . These are listed
alphabetically  within  each  media
(i.e., Air, Drinking Water, etc.).

Although much of ORD's external
research is  solicited by the office,
individuals  and organizations may
submit unsolicited proposals. ,

AIR
Characterization  and
Measurement Methods
Development

This research program is designed to
provide EPA with  sampling,  anal-
ysis, and measurement techniques to
detect  and  identify  pollutants  in
ambient air, and to characterize emis-
sions from  stationary and mobile
sources. The methods developed will
be used in support of regulatory and
enforcement   activity  relating  to
National Ambient Air Quality  Stan-
dards,  New   Source Performance
Standards, National  Emission  Stan-
dards for Hazardous Pollutants, and
mobile source emission  standards,
and  in support of air transport and
fate research. Research efforts of this
           program include the development and
           refinement of methods to measure
           fine and inhalable particulates, car-
           bon fibers,  volatile  organic  com-
           pounds,  and sulfer  and  nitrogen
           oxides.  In addition,  source appor-
           tionment models are being developed
           to determine individual source con-
           tributions  to  ambient  levels  of
           hazardous  air  pollutants and  par-
           ticulates.  The  Industrial Environ-
           mental Research Laboratory of Cin-
           cinnati is assessing  the adequacy of
           existing technology to  control the
           release of carbon fibers during  waste
           disposal and  incineration.

AIR

Environmental  Processes
and Effects

The Clean Air Act and Amendments
require that EPA establish Ambient
Air Quality  Standards,  and  review
these  standards at five year intervals.
To support this activity, the Corvallis
Environmental Research Laboratory
is  evaluating the  environmental fate
of atmospheric pollutants,  and  the
effects of these pollutants on natural
and managed terrestrial  ecosystems.
This research includes evaluation of
                                                  I
            the  effects  of  specific  gaseous
            pollutants and particulates, and the
            effects  of  complex  pollutant  mix-
            tures.  Researchers are also investi-
            gating the  degree to  which natural
            and cultivated vegetation contributes
            to ambient levels of reactive hydro-
            carbons.   These  research  efforts
            utilize field evaluations and controlled
            exposure  experiments.

Health Effects/
Criteria Pollutants

The objective of this research is to
conduct  studies on those air pollu-
tants for which Ambient Air Quality
Standards have been  set. Every five
years EPA must present an updated
health data base to support mainte-
nance or revision  of  the Standards.
The major goal of this program is to
improve  substantially  the   existing
health effects  data base on  those
pollutants for which these Standards
          have  been  set.  This  research  will
          include studies  of both  acute  and
          chronic  animal  toxicology,  con-
          trolled  human  exposure,  and  epi-
          demiology.  The program will place
          emphasis  upon  designing and  per-
          forming studies which permit EPA
          to assess the health effects resulting
          from  exposure to ambient levels of
          these  pollutants.

Health Effects/
Non-Criteria Pollutants

These  research  efforts  include
evaluations  of animal  toxicology
studies,  clinical studies,  epidemio-
logical studies, and  laboratory sup-
port work. The most immediate goal
of  the toxicological  studies is to
determine  the  acute  and  chronic
effects  of  inhalation  of  "coarse-
mode  particles,"  "fine-mode par-
ticles,"  particle/gas combinations,
and lead. New facilities, models, and
methodologies  are  under  develop-
ment to  improve the quality of this
research. Clinical studies of humans
help  determine  the  acute  health
effects from exposure to fine-mode
aerosols. Later, epidemiologic studies
                                               I
          of populations exposed  to airborne
          sulfur  oxides and particles will fur-
          ther pinpoint the health effects of
          these pollutants.

          Additional research focuses  on the
          health effects of non-criteria hazard-
          ous pollutants.  Maps portraying car-
          cinogenic  "hot   spots"  will  be
          updated. Subsequent assessments of
          carcinogenicity can be accomplished
          using  bioassays,   human  exposure
          assays,  animal exposure tests,  and
          epidemiologic studies.  A battery of
          additional tests will evaluate the non-
          carcinogenic  toxicity of hazardous
          air pollutants.

Health Effects-
Transportation Sources

The Clean Air Act and Amendments
give  to  EPA  the  responsibility to
develop test methods to evaluate the
human health  effects of fuels  and
fuel additives,  and emissions from
mobile sources. The primary objec-
tive of this research program is to
develop  techniques  to evaluate  the
potential  mutagenic,  carcinogenic,
and cytotoxic  effects of  diesel  and
synfuel emissions.
          Research efforts include the develop-
          ment and application of short term
          bioassays and other laboratory tech-
          niques, development of methods for
          the study of the  human cardiovas-
          cular effects of carbon monoxide and
          carbon  monoxide/ozone  mixtures,
          study of the effects of ambient CO
          on  outcomes   of pregnancy,  and
          studies  of CO effects on cardio-

Industrial Processes

Assessment of  industrial  pollution
emissions is the  primary goal of this
research.  One  project  involves
demonstration of a volatile organic
compound pollution control device
for  textile  printing  plants.  Other
work, representing a continuation of
earlier petrochemical plant research,
tests VOC leak  detectors and repair
programs. A report will detail ways
of measuring industrial flare  emis-
sions from burning  organic  chem-
icals under various operating condi-
tions, and a comprehensive document
describing flare emissions  will  be
issued.
            Supercritical fluids  can be  used to
            recover  VOCs  from  activated car-
            bon. Research efforts include evalua-
            ting   regeneration   processes  for
            various compounds, constructing an
            operating  activated   carbon  VOC
            unit, and evaluating  the application
            of catalytic  incineration  to various
            VOC emissions. Other studies involve
            the identification of toxic emissions
            from ferrous metallurgy sources such
            as coke  by-products,  quenching,
            preheating, iron  foundry smelting,
            and electric furnace emissions.

Monitoring Methods
and Systems

The  development,  evaluation, and
improvement of  systems  for  mon-
itoring air pollution is  an essential
part  of EPA's  Clean Air Program.
Approximately  160 sampling stations
have been established  to measure
particulates,  SO|, NO^,  and trace
elements.  New  methods of measur-
ing sample mass and constituents are
assessed at these testing sites. New
extraction and fractionation schemes
are  being developed  to  separate
organic matter from ambient par-
ticulates.  Other sampling activities,
such as measuring trace elements,
ambient  organic compounds, and
             ambient particulate matter, are also
             being tested. In addition, alternative
             sampling and monitoring techniques
             are evaluated and improved.

             Methods of monitoring nonmethane
             hydrocarbons are undergoing review.
             By examining data collected  by a
             multispectral  scanner during persis-
             tent air pollution episodes, existing
             data acquisition systems can be eval-
             uated.  Personal exposure monitors,
             particularly methods of monitoring
             asbestos  and arsenic pollution,  are
             being developed and evaluated.

The objectives of the Air Technical
Support Program are to assist  the
Program Offices and the Regions to
obtain accurate and timely  data  for
the implementation of Agency deci-
sions and Congressional mandates in
support  of the Clean  Air Act.  A
major emphasis is on sampling and

             for enforcement  actions;  or pro-
             viding expertise not readily available
             in other parts of the Agency. In addi-
             tion, routine analyses are carried out
             to  develop trend data  (such  as  on
             long-term  ozone   and  particulate
             levels) and to analyze components in

Transport and Fate

The  goal  of  this  program  is  to
develop a comprehensive understand-
ing of the  physical, chemical, and
meteorological processes that  influ-
ence  the movement, modification,
and fate of air pollutants. The Envi-

processes that effect transport and
transformation of pollutants, and is
developing,  testing,  and  validating
simulation and predictive models of
transport and fate of pollutants such
as ozone, fine and inhalable particu-
lates, and hazardous air  pollutants.
In addition, this program is investi-
gating the  specific role of naturally
occurring hydrocarbons in elevating
rural ozone levels. Research will also
determine the role of air pollutants in
producing  regional visibility degra-
dation. Results  of this research will
be utilized to support Agency regula-

DRINKING WATER

Control Technology and
Groundwater Protection

Work  on organics includes  several
cooperative   field  studies  with
municipal water treatment facilities
throughout  the U.S.  The use of
granular  activated   carbon   for
organics removal,  and  the ability to
reactivate the carbon following usage
are under  investigation. Analytical
methods are  being developed  for
identification and  quantification of
organic contaminants,  both volatile
and  nonvolatile,  general inorganic
contaminants, and asbestos.

Removal  of  inorganics  requires
specialized  treatment  techniques.
Researchers  are   investigating  the
effectiveness  of reverse osmosis and
ion exchange systems. An important
area  of investigation  is the  con-
tamination of drinking water as it is
carried through  the   distribution
system. The control of the corrosion
of  absestos-cement pipe  is  being
studied using such variables as pH,
alkalinity, and addition of corrosion
control chemicals.  Attention is being
given to the identification, character-
ization and measurement of asbestos
fibers. Specialized  techniques for the
            analysis  of  arsenic,  selenium,
            chromium, and mercury are also being
            developed.

            Microbiological research will focus
            on treatment processes that remove
            bacteria  and  viruses.  The  effec-
            tiveness of various  disinfectants on
            microbiological  quality  will  be
            addressed. New and improved tests for
            bacteria  identification are needed.

            Research  into  the  protection  of
            underground water  sources is being
            carried  out  at  the  Robert S. Kerr
            Environmental Research Laboratory
            at Ada, Oklahoma.  The goal of this
            research is  to provide the scientific
            basis for regulatory and management
            decisions related to the protection of
            groundwater  supplies.  Specific
            research  areas  include  improved
            methods  for investigating  ground-
            water quality, characterization of the
            underground environment  and  its
            effect on pollutants, development of
            methods  to  reliably predict  subsur-
            face  movement and transformation
            of pollutants,  and  evaluation  of

DRINKING WATER

Health Effects

Research  in  the  area  of the health
effects associated with contaminants
of drinking water is broadly divided
into the study of organic, inorganic
and microbiological agents. Research
on  organics is focusing on examina-
tion of  those  treatment  methods
which might create harmful organic
compounds during treatment. Two
treatment practices  of special con-
cern are disinfection and the use of
chemical  additives  for  flocculation
and filtration. Researchers will iden-
tify the organics resulting from such
treatment,  and will conduct toxico-
logic  investigations  to  determine
their adverse health effects.
         Another important area of research
         is the relationship between inorganics
         and the incidence of cardiovascular
         diseases.  In addition  to laboratory
         investigations, epidemiologic studies
         are planned. Other inorganics research
         will focus on the assessment of health
         effects related to lead, barium, and
         arsenic.

         A  continuing aspect  of  microbio-
         logical research is the surveillance of
         waterborne diseases. Research into
         new  identification  techniques  for
         pathogens in both water and clinical
         specimens is planned.

 Accurate   and   precise   analytic
 methods  for  measuring   drinking
 water constituents are necessary for
 enforcement of the  Safe Drinking
 Water  Act. Researchers  are  con-
 tinuously called upon to develop and
 refine techniques  for  the  sophisti-
 cated water analysis required by the
 Agency  both  routinely  and   for
 specialized  pollution  problems. In
 order  to check the accuracy of the
 numerous  laboratories  performing
 analyses,  quality  control  check
 samples for trace metals,  nitrate-
fluoride,  pesticides,  herbicides,
trihalomethanes, turbidity, and free
residual chlorine are maintained and
distributed.  In order to monitor the
microbiological  quality of drinking
water, it  is often necessary  to use
indicator organisms as a measure of
pollution.  Work  will  continue  to
improve  detection  methods  for
specific pathogens. As new detection
methods-are developed, researchers
will  also  develop  techniques  for

Fuel Extraction

The goals of this research program
are assessment of the environmental
hazards of, and development of con-
trol  methods  for,   domestic  fuel
extraction technology. The Industrial
Environmental Research Laboratory
at  Cincinnati  is  investigating  the
environmental  effects   of  surface
mining, spoil disposal and effluents,
and reclamation; non-conventional
uranium extraction;  and production
of gas from  sands, shale, coal,  and
heavy oil. The Lab is also evaluating
the  effectiveness  of control tech-
nology to protect the quality of air,
            and of surface and groundwater. The
            Municipal Environmental Research
            Laboratory at  Cincinnati is investi-
            gating  techniques  to  control  and
            clean oil spills  on land and water,
            and to restore contaminated shore-
            lines.  This research will result  in

Transport, Fate, and
Effects of Energy-
Related Pollutants

The  expansion  of domestic energy
production  increases  the need  to
understand  the  environmental
behavior  of energy-related  pollu-
tants. The objectives of this research
program are to identify the processes
that govern the emission, movement,
and transformation of energy-related
pollutants,  and to  evaluate  their
environmental  effects.  Pollutant
behavior in marine, freshwater, and
terrestrial ecosystems  is  studied in
            field  research and  through use of
            laboratory microcosms.  The pro-
            gram investigates the transport and
            fate of pollutants resulting from both
            conventional  and alternative energy
            technology. Results of this research
            program will  support  the  develop-
            ment and refinement of regulatory
            strategy to minimize adverse environ-

Scientific Assessment

The objective of this program is to
enhance the risk assessment capabil-
ities within the Agency and develop
scientific  criteria  concerning  the
effects of pollutants  on ecological
systems and human health.  Initial
risk assessment activity  will stress
the development of guidelines  and
methodologies  for Agency-wide use
that determine the  potential  risk
from exposure to specific pollutants.
A primary objective is to provide a
central focal point for quality control
of all Agency risk assessment activ-
ities. Following guidelines develop-
ment, a review and oversight activity
             will be implemented to insure consis-
             tency  and  comparability  of  the
             assessments done  by other Agency
             offices.  Risk   assessments  will  be
             developed  for  the program offices
             upon their  request.  Targeted areas
             for assessment include exposure, and
             carcinogenic,  reproductive,   and
             other   chronic  effects.   Criteria
             development on pollutant effects will
             be conducted in response to program
             office needs and will take the form of

Ecological Effects

Wise use of pesticides requires not
only an  understanding of the pesti-
cide's impact on the target species,
but also of the eventual fate of the
pesticide  and its  impact  on other
organisms.  Sensitive bioassay  tech-
niques are  one  effective means of
acquiring this information. Informa-
tion is also gained  from laboratory,
microcosm,  or  field  studies  that
             measure the  response  of  various
             species to pesticide exposure. These
             studies may also reveal the ultimate
             ecological impact of pesticide expo-
             sure.  The Corvallis laboratory will
             conduct  studies focusing   on the
             effects  of  pesticides  on terrestrial
             environments. It is anticipated that
             6-8 pesticides will be studied annually.

 Health Effects

 The pesticides health effects program
 focuses on  determining the human
 exposure to chemical pesticides and
 the health effects  of  chemical and
 biological pesticide exposure. Activ-
 ities related to exposure assessment
 include studies of  human  exposure
 during  home  and  garden  use of
 pesticides,  and the study  of crop
 workers  exposed  to pesticide  resi-
 dues.  Air  sampling   devices   for
 pesticides in various exposure situa-
           tions  and model systems for deter-
           mining exposure of inhaled pesticides
           in humans are being developed. The
           determination   of  health   effects
           involves  investigations  for  carcino-
           genicity,   teratogenicity,  mutagen-
           icity, neurotoxicity and other adverse
           effects. Planned studies include dose-

           pesticides in different  species  and
           development of  animal models to
           determine specific toxicities.

environmental  and  public  health
impacts of increasing use of chemical
pesticides, increased pest  resistance,
and the rising cost of pesticide pro-
duction.  The  objective  of  the
research effort is the development of
an integrated system of pest  control
that includes biological, cultural, and
chemical  techniques.  The   specific
goals of the program are: increased
understanding of  pest/host interac-
tion,  development  of pest resistant

           mize  control,  and the design  and
           demonstration  of  effective   and
           economical pest management systems.
           In addition to agricultural pests, this
           research   effort  is   developing
           systematic  approaches  to  control
           urban weed and  insect pests,  and
           aquatic weeds.

Quality Assurance

Pesticide  sample analysis necessary
for regulatory action requires  that
results  be  specific,  accurate,  and
reproducible. In order to ensure such
quality  measurement,  EPA  main-
tains   a  repository  of  pesticide
calibration   materials.  These
materials  are  distributed to  EPA,
FDA,  and  other  federal  and state
laboratories. Analytical  tools  and
calibration  technologies  are  being
expanded to address specific priority
pesticides.  An  analytical Standards
Manual will be revised and updated.
Since analytical reference standards
may not be available from producers,
work is  planned for purifying  and
synthesizing such analytical standards.

TOXIC SUBSTANCES
Characterization
and Measurement
Methods Development

Even trace quantities  of  certain
substances can be toxic. In order to
monitor such chemicals and  assess
their effects, there is a constant need
for improved techniques.

At   the  Environmental   Research
Laboratory at Naragansett, work is
planned for development of measure-
ment methods  for use in  marine
systems. This will include identifica-
tion and quantification of volatile
organics  in  estuarine  water  and
organics  in suspended particulate
matter.

Researchers at the Athens Environ-
mental  Research  Laboratory  are
concerned with  the measurement of
toxics  bound  to  sediments  and
aquatic  plants.  Researchers  will
            select a class  of  organic chemicals
            and develop methodologies for their
            separation, identification and quan-
            tification.

            Identification  and measurement  of
            toxic substances in air is the focus of
            the work  planned by the  Environ-
            mental Sciences Research Laboratory
            in Research  Triangle Park.  Their
            work will  concentrate on developing
            improved  techniques  for  measure-
            ment of organics. This  will include
            ways   to  minimize  the  problems
            encountered  in   sampling  large
            volumes  of  air for  particulate
            organics and  the development  of
            high    performance    liquid
            chromatography  (HPLC)   as   an
            analysis methodology.

Ecological Effects

The  objective  of  the  ecological
effects  program  is   to   develop
methodologies  for  defining  the
hazard  and exposure  of  chemical
substances  to  ecosystems.  The
ecological  effects  program  also
includes  research  directed  towards
defining human exposure to environ-
mental toxicants.  Exposure models
are being developed  for toxic sub-
stances  in  freshwater,  estuarine-
marine,  terrestrial,  air  and
multimedia  environments.  Models
will  take  into  consideration  the
physical and chemical properties of
toxicants as well  as  environmental
factors that govern their  transport
             and transformation.  These models
             will be  validated using laboratory
             microcosms and field studies. Models
             will help to determine human expo-
             sure to  a wide variety  of toxic
             substances  through  all  important
             pathways,  air, water,  and food. The
             Athens  Laboratory  will test and
             refine the EPA  Exposure Analysis
             Modeling System (EXAMS), improve
             experimental laboratory microcosms,
             formulate  a model of bioaccumula-
             tion of  toxic chemicals in  aquatic
             plants, and develop techniques using
             structure-activity  relationships   to
             predict environmental transport and
             transformation of organic chemicals.

Health Effects

The  overall  goal  of  the   toxic
substances research program  is to
develop   and  improve  screening
techniques  used   in   predicting
deleterious health effects that result
from  exposure  to  chemical  sub-
stances.  Information  gained  from
these studies supports the develop-
ment and implementation of regula-
tions under  the Toxic  Substances
Control  Act.  Numerous investiga-
tions are  planned to determine the
         best screening tests for determining
         the carcinogenic, mutagenic, terato-
         genic,  neurotoxic,  and  other  toxic
         effects  of chemical substances.  In
         addition to laboratory investigations,
         epidemiological  studies will be con-
         ducted. These  studies will help to
         establish  the  effects  of  specific
         chemicals on humans and provide a
         data base for validating lexicological
         models.

Industrial Processes

EPA is sponsoring studies of  both
specific chemicals and selected indus-
tries to determine their potential for
environmental  damage.   EPA  is
maintaining and expanding  a  data
base that currently contains informa-
tion on some 600 organic chemicals.
This information includes  location,
product list, capacity, emissions and
processes  for those  manufacturers
involved. When the data base is com-
pleted it  will include  information
            about uses and potential exposures
            for major organic chemicals.

            The toxicity of PCB's has resulted in
            concern over their use  and disposal
            methods.  Studies are underway to
            review alternative disposal methods.
            Studies of the plastics industry and

Technical  Support

EPA laboratories are involved in the
development   of  monitoring  and
screening  methods to meet specific
agency needs. Three laboratories are
involved in these technical  support
activities.

The  Environmental  Monitoring
Systems   Laboratory  in  Research
Triangle  Park is involved  in  the
development of specialized polymers
to sample air  pollutants  with polar
molecular charge  configuration.
Adsorbents currently available  for
air  sampling  are not suitable  for
these pollutants, since they either fail
to capture the pollutant or fail to
release  it  for laboratory  analyses.
Researchers at RTF will also analyze
rainfall samples  for toxic substances
of interest to OPTS.
            The Environmental Monitoring and
            Support Laboratory in Cincinnati is
            sponsoring  the  development  and
            maintenance of a data base contain-
            ing the mass  spectra of toxic sub-
            stances. The data base currently con-
            tains  33,898 spectra and  plans call
            for the inclusion of 3000 more. The
            Las Vegas Laboratory is working to
            develop  guidelines  for  validating
            stream models to predict toxic move-
            ment and fate; to refine advanced

Transport and Fate

In order to determine or predict the
effects a given chemical will have on
the environment, information on its
behavior  in  different  media   is
required. The goal  of this research
project is to  develop methodologies
for predicting movement, persistence
and bioaccumulation of chemicals in
air,  water,  and terrestial  environ-
ments, as  well as in living systems.
To meet  the requirements  of the
Toxic   Substances   Control  Act,
evaluations of the fate and effects of
some new compounds must be made
within  relatively short time periods.
             Since existing information on these
             chemicals may be scarce,  the use of
             structure-activity factors  for  rapid
             evaluations  is  being  examined.
             Models are also under development
             for use in estimating exposure con-
             centrations  of  chemicals  in various
             media.  These  models will be  vali-
             dated using laboratory (microcosm)
             and field studies. The emphasis of
             the Athens  Laboratory's research is
             the scientific basis of laboratory tests
             for  molecular  and  environmental
             factors   that  govern   chemical
             transport and transformation.

Characterization  and
Measurement Methods
Development

The objective of this program is to
provide identification and measure-
ment techniques that provide data on
substances found in water, sediments,
and sludges.  In addition  to giving
positive identification, these methods
must  be  sufficiently  sensitive  to
measure trace levels of the substances
present. Specific attention is being
given   to   detection   methods  for
volatile  organics,   non-volatile
organics,  dissolved  elements,  and
specific inorganics. Work in the area
of  volatile  organics will  include
development  of computerized data
interpretation of mass and infrared
spectral  data.   Since  non-volatile
organics are not amenable to analysis
by GC/MS, new techniques includ-
ing liquid chromatography are being
studied. In the area of element detec-
tion, emphasis is being placed on the
development  of multielement tech-
niques  that   determine   several
elements simultaneously.  Many of
the  inorganic  analytical  problems
require individual approaches.

Freshwater
Ecological Effects

The goal of this  research program is
to provide EPA with a legally defen-
sible data base and the most  scien-
tifically credible  methods for use in
establishing  water  quality  criteria
and  standards,  effluent standards,
and   water   disposal  guidelines.
Research includes the development
of testing  procedures  to assess the
impact on  freshwater ecosystems of
point  and  non-point  pollution
sources,  and the  impact  of  the
disposal of dredged material;  deter-
mination of the  capacity of stressed
ecosystems   to  recover  following
             reduction  of pollutant  input;  and
             analysis  of freshwater wetlands to
             improve understanding of structure,
             function, and boundary definition.

             The   Corvallis   Environmental
             Research Laboratory is engaged in a
             research program designed to develop
             an understanding of the transport of
             non-energy  related  pollutants  in
             freshwater ecosystems, and to assess
             the  effects of these pollutants  on
             various   compartments  of  rivers,
             lakes, and freshwater wetlands.

Great  Lakes

The Great Lakes  research program
carried out by the Duluth Environ-
mental Research Laboratory through
the Large Lakes Research Station at
Grosse He, Michigan, provides  the
scientific information base necessary
to effectively manage Great  Lakes
water  quality  in  support  of  the
revised  United  States/Canadian
Water Quality Agreement of  19^8.
The goals of this  research program
are to identify water  quality prob-
lems in the Great  Lakes; to provide
practical, cost-effective methods to
predict  pollutant impact;  and  to
assist EPA  and  the  International
Joint Commission in the application
of  these  methods to  restore and
maintain Great Lakes water quality.

Research efforts evaluate the impact
of nutrient  and atmospheric  pollu-
tant input, and the effects of power
plants and dredged spoil disposal.
Other efforts define pollutant path-
ways and develop predictive models
for toxic chemicals, and asses human
exposure levels.

Health Effects

The health effects program includes
a  variety  of  studies  that  can  be
broadly  divided  into  four  areas:
Water criteria, land application of
sludge and treated wastewater, water
reuse,  and   industrial  wastewater
reuse. These investigations  include
field  and  laboratory  studies and
many are continuations of ongoing
research.   Laboratory  studies  to
determine the toxicity,  carcinogenic-
ity  and  teratogenicity of  priority
pollutants are underway. The  appli-
cation of short-term tests for predict-
ing  human  health  effects  is also
under evaluation.
         Several  epidemiological  investiga-
         tions  are planned including deter-
         minations  of:  the   relationship
         between  swimming  associated  ill-
         nesses and water quality,  disease
         rates  in  residents  living near  land
         sites  receiving wastewater applica-
         tions, health effects in families whose
         farms receive sludge for land applica-
         tion,  and health effects of workers
         involved in composting. Other studies
         will focus  on the inactivation, sur-
         vival, and  fate of viruses in waste-
         water, sludges, and soils.

Industrial Processes

As effluent guidelines and standards
are developed,  special attention  is
directed towards the specific prob-
lems of the industries affected. Pro-
gram activites range from data base
development to field evaluation of
specific control technologies.

A computerized system  for storage
and retrieval of  spill  assessment,
cleanup, and disposal procedures  is
being developed. Cincinnati's Indus-
trial Environmental Research  Lab-
oratory is involved in the preparation
of a "Treatability Manual" for con-
trol of priority pollutants  and the
operation  of  a computerized  data
base used for wastewater and haz-
ardous  solid waste characterization
for the organic chemicals industry.

At the Robert S. Kerr Environmental
Research  Laboratory, evaluation of
            biological activated carbon treatment
            for removal of pollutants from waste-
            water is planned. The use of trickling
            filters and lagoons for treatment of
            metals will also be evaluated.

            Resources are  also  being used  to
            design, construct and operate control
            technologies for removal of hazard-
            ous pollutants. The Industrial Envi-
            ronmental Research Laboratory in
            Cincinnati is involved  in studies of
            the electroplating industry, while at
            RTF  researchers  are  involved  in
            studies of iron and steel plants, the
            textile  industry  and the pesticides
            manufacturing industry. The Cincin-
            nati laboratory is also evaluating an
            ion exchange  wastewater treatment
            system.

Marine Ecological Effects

The Marine Ecological Effects pro-
gram involves three  major  areas:
ocean  disposal,  dredged  material,
and wetlands.

The impact  of  ocean outfalls  on
marine communities and ultimately
human  health involves determina-
tions  of  the  relationships  among
pollutant  concentrations  in  the
water, the ocean sediment, and fish
tissues. Microcosms will be used to
measure  the biological  responses of
marine organisms to water and sedi-
ment pollution.

The disposal  of dredged  materials
may pose serious problems to marine
            ecosystems. Researchers are develop-
            ing a  biossay  for  measuring acute
            and  chronic   effects   in  bottom-
            dwelling organisms. EPA is involved
            in  the  development  of  sediment
            quality criteria. Using information
            from  bioassays,  "safe"  sediment
            concentrations  may be developed for
            specific  chemical  pollutants  and
            complex waste  mixtures.

            In  the  area  of  wetland research
            efforts are planned  to  determine
            wetland  productivity and  function.
            This  information will be used  to
            determine   the relative  value  of
            wetlands, and the impact of the alter-
            ation of a wetland on its watershed.

Monitoring Methods
and Systems

Under this program selected surface
waters that receive  effluents from
publicly owned treatment works will
be monitored to determine the efflu-
ent's contribution of toxic metals and
their resulting impact on aquatic life.

Another planned effort involves the
review of the  existing  water  quality
network  for  trend  monitoring  of
conventional  pollutants   such  as
dissolved oxygen and  phosphorous.
This information will be used to pro-
pose a national trend monitoring net-
work for waterborne toxic substances.
             An important aspect of water quality
             monitoring  is  the  detection  of
             viruses. Improved  methods for the
             rapid identification of  and  quan-
             tification of viruses in surface waters
             are being  developed.  Attention is
             being given  to methods that recover
             small amounts of viruses from large
             volumes of  water. Methods for col-
             lecting  and  identifying viruses  in
             sewage  and sludge are also  being
             investigated.

Quality Assurance

The objective of this program is to
ensure that analytical measurement
data collected  to monitor  ambient
water, waste, and effluents are valid
and acquired  through  standardized
methods.  Quality assurance sample
studies  are conducted, and reposi-
tories are maintained for the quality
control samples and reference mater-
ials that are the basis of water quality
monitoring. Statistical and technical
services are provided to Program and
             Regional Offices for  performance
             evaluation studies, which are used to
             find analytical problems and prepare
             performance evaluation samples for
             ambient monitoring analyses. Labor-
             atory  intercomparison  studies and
             on-site laboratory evaluations are per-

Transport and Fate

Research into the transport and fate
of pollutants affecting water quality
includes  environmental   processes
that move  or  modify  pollutants,
transport  and  fate   models,   and
watershed management  techniques.
The results of research on environ-
mental  fate processes  will be  com-
bined with a computerized data base
being developed. The data base con-
tains both specific and  generalized
river and  lake environment data in
addition to information on the physi-
cal and chemical  characteristics of
specific pollutants.  All of this infor-
mation will be used in the modifica-
tion, improvement, and testing of
            exposure  assessment models. Com-
            ponent models and field analysis will
            be used to evaluate the cost-effective-
            ness of alternative  point  and non-

Urban Systems and Toxics
Residuals Management

This  program  includes four major
areas of research focusing on the
urban environment. The sludge man-
agement program includes develop-
ment of better and more cost-effective
ways of treating and disposing of
sludge,  evaluation and improvement
of the environmental acceptability of
all sludge processes, and support for
EPA's  Program  Offices.  Specific
attention will be given to dewatering
and thickening processes, anaerobic
digesters,  land  application,   and
devices  to remove  toxicants from
sludge.

Toxic pollutant control research pro-
duces information on the sources of
           toxic pollutants and on the treatabil-
           ity of  such pollutants by conven-
           tional or innovative technology.

           Plant operation and design activities
           will include the review and  evalua-

Wastewater Systems
Control Technology

Development  and  evaluation  of
wastewater system control technol-

Municipal Environmental Research
Laboratory. This program includes
development   of   wastewater  pro-
cessess including new biological pro-
cesses,  processes  for removal  of
specific pollutants, and wastewater
disinfection. Technologies for water
conservation and reuse will also be
examined.  Another  aspect of this
program involves the study of urban
runoff  including  its causes  and
effects,  and control.  The program
also  addresses the needs  of waste-
water systems in small communities.

           related   to  land   treatment  and
           aquaculture.  Studies  of  slow-rate
           land  treatment,  rapid  infiltration
           systems,  and overland flow systems
           are planned. The transport and trans-

           ORD'S EXTRAMURAL PROGRAM
While some of the research funded
for fiscal year 1981 will be done in-
house by ORD's staff, much of the
research  will  be  accomplished by
grant/cooperative agreement or con-
tract. To explain how each of these is
used, a brief discussion follows.


Contracts

A contract is used (1)  whenever the
principal purpose of the instrument
is the acquisition, by purchase, lease,
or barter, of property or services for
the  direct  benefit   or use of  the
Federal Government; or (2) whenever
an executive agency  determines in a
specific  instance that  the use of a
type of procurement  contract  is
appropriate.

All planned contracting is carried out
competitively  with  notices of  the
availability of Request for Proposal
(RFP) documents publicly advertised.
Unsolicited  contract  proposals
should not be submitted for such
reports.  The review/selection  pro-
cedures  followed may vary slightly
from project to project, but all perti-
nent information regarding both the
project  objectives and criteria  for
evaluation  of  proposals  will  be
included in each RFP  package. The
Laboratory Director should not be
contacted  for information on con-
tracts that have been advertised since
such communication  may  conflict
with Federal Procurement  Regula-
tions and could serve to disqualify a
prospective contractor from further
consideration.
Solicited Contract
Proposals
Requests for Proposals (RFP's)  for
all planned contracts will be adver-
tised in the Commerce Business Daily
issued  by the  U.S.  Department of
Commerce. A subscription to this
publication may be obtained from
the Superintendent  of Documents,
Government Printing Office, Wash-
ington,  DC  20402.  These  adver-
tisements will provide instructions
for obtaining  RFP  packages from
EPA's Contracts Management Divi-
sion. Each RFP package will include
detailed information describing  the
form and context of proposals to be
submitted as well as the required time
and place of submission.

EPA's Contracts Management Divi-
sion publishes  "Selling to EPA" to
assist the business community in its
efforts to find new  markets in  the
Environmental Protection Agency.
This  publication includes the names
and addresses of contracting offices
in EPA and the Office of Research
and Development laboratories,  the
types of products and services pro-
cured, general information about the
Agency, and hints to aid business-
men in selling to EPA.


Unsolicited Contract
Proposals

While  most  of  ORD's  contract
research and demonstration is con-
ducted through the use of RFP's to
58

-------
solicit proposals,  contracts can also
be awarded on the basis of unso-
licited  proposals  which  meet the
sole-source  requirements  of  the
Federal Procurement  Regulations.
Unsolicited   contract  proposals
should be addressed to the Grants
Administration Division (PM-216),
Environmental Protection Agency,
Washington, DC  20460.  While no
specific format  is required,  such
proposals  should  generally contain:

 1. Name,  address and  telephone
   number  of the organization or
   individual  submitting the  pro-
   posal.

 2. Date of preparation or submis-
   sion.

 3. Type  of  organization (profit,
   nonprofit,  educational,   indi-
   vidual, other).

 4. Concise title.

5.  Project objective.

 6. Need, utility and significance of
   project.

 7. Scope  of work, i.e.,  an outline
   and discussion of the purpose of
   proposed effort of activity, the
   method  of attacking the prob-
   blem, and nature and extent of
   anticipated results.

 8. Experimental  data developed by
   feasibility  studies  previously
   completed.
 9. Estimated duration of the pro-
   ject, proposed starting and com-
   pletion dates.
10. Scientific
   references.
or    technical
11. Names  of key personnel to be
   involved,  brief  biographical
   information, including principal
   publications and relevant exper-
   ience.

12. Equipment,  facilities  and  per-
   sonnel requirements.

13. Proposed  budget,  including
   separate  cost  estimates  for
   salaries and  wages, equipment,
   expendable   supplies,  services,
   travel, subcontracts, other direct
   costs and overhead.

EPA's  Appropriation  Act  specifi-
cally provides that cost sharing must
be included  in  contracts resulting
from  proposals  for  projects  not
specifically solicited. The  extent of
the cost sharing by the recipient will
be decided after the  proposal has
been reviewed and determined to be
of mutual interest to the grantee or
contractor and the government.

The material  submitted should  con-
tain both a technical and a business
proposal.  The  technical  proposal
should clearly define the unique con-
cept  involved (as required for sole-
source procurements)  and include a
plan for turning the  concept  into
reality.  It is  suggested  that the
                  I
                                                                     59

technical proposal identify any pro-    proposal,  information  concerning
prietary  aspects  of  the  proposed    past Government contracts, and any
ideas  or  process. The business pro-    special terms and conditions desired.
posal  should include a detailed cost

ORD Assistance Program
Grant Agreements

A grant is  to be used when (1) the
principal purpose of the relationship
is the transfer of money,  property,
services or  anything of value to the
State or  local government or other
recipient in order  to  accomplish a
public purpose of support or stimula-
tion authorized by Federal  statute,
rather than acquisition, by purchase,
lease, or barter, of property or ser-
vices for the direct benefit or use of
the Federal Government;  and (2) no
substantial   involvement  is   antici-
pated between the  executive  agency,
acting for the Federal Government,
and the State or local government or
other recipient during  performance
of the comtemplated activity.

Grant allocations  are made by the
Office of Exploratory Research. The
primary area of grant concern is in
anticipatory or exploratory research.
Topics  of  special  interest  will be
announced in flyers.

Cooperative Agreements

A cooperative agreement is  used in
lieu of a grant when (1) the principal
purpose  of the relationship is the
transfer  of money, property,  ser-
vices, or anything  of  value  to the
State or local government or other
recipient to accomplish a public  pur-
pose of  support  or  stimulation
authorized by Federal statute, rather
than acquisition, by purchase, lease,
or barter, of property or services for
the  direct  benefit or use  of the
Federal  Government;   and  (2)
substantial   involvement   is   antici-
pated between the  executive  agency,
acting for Federal Government, and
the State or local  government  or
other recipient during performance
of the contemplated activity.

Prior to  applying for a cooperative
agreement,  contact  with the cogni-
zant Laboratory  Director is encour-
aged. This will allow for the develop-
ment of the appropriate relationship
between  the recipient of  the agree-
ment and ORD.

Exploratory  Research
Grants Program

In  September 1979, the  Office  of
Research and Development estab-
lished  an  Office  of  Exploratory
Research in response to recommen-
dations made by an internal Grant
Procedure  Review Group. The new
office was  established to  administer
ORD's  competitive research grants
program as  well  as several  other
related programs (refer to the section
on Interdisciplinary Research). The
changes  supporting this reorganiza-
tion are  also currently being incor-
porated  in  ORD's administrative
regulations, 40 CFR Part 40.

Briefly  summarized, these changes
are as follows:

•   Central point  of  contact.  The
    Office of Exploratory Research
    (OER) serves  as a central point of
    contact  for interested researchers
    who  desire   additional  infor-
    mation  on exploratory research
    grant funds available (as opposed
I
                                                                     61

-------
   to cooperative agreement funds),
   programs  or  projects  of EPA
   interest,   or  application  pro-
   cedures. OER's task is to manage
   ORD's  competitive  exploratory
   research grants program and peer
   review process for research pro-
   posals.

•  Solicitations for  Research  Pro-
   posals. ORD intends to enhance
   its research  base  by encouraging
   greater participation for research
   funding  assistance  through  the
   use of research proposal solicita-
   tions.  These solicitations  utilize
   "flyers"  or printed  brochures,
   the Federal Register and other
   media of interest to the scientific
   community.  Special  encourage-
   ment is extended to scientists who
   have not previously received ORD
   extramural  funding  assistance,
   and qualified minority, handicap-
   ped, and female researchers.

•  Proposal/Application  Review.
   ORD utilizes  a centralized peer
   review process,  similar  to that
   used  by the  National  Institutes
   of Health, to review extramural
   proposals  for   research   fund-
   ing assistance. Reviews are tenta-
   tively scheduled  for  FY 1981 as
   follows, but may vary depending
   on the number  of  applications
   received.

        February 28, 1981
        June 30,  1981
        September 30,  1981

   The review process  may include
   site visits or ad hoc  (mail) review
   in special instances. A sampling of
   requests for project continuations
   and/or funding increases of ongo-
   ing projects may also be subject to
   this review process.

   The decision to fund  or reject a
   proposal is  based on the scientific
   peer review  ranking, EPA research
   needs and priorities,  and available
   resources.  Acceptable   applica-
   tions which are of lower priority
   may be held for up to six months
   for possible funding.

•  Reporting  Requirements. Grant
   projects require progress reports
   as stipulated in the grant agree-
   ment, and  a  final  report  upon
   completion  of  the project. Coop-
   erative agreement projects require
   a final report and other reporting
   requirements  as  may  be deter-
   mined  by  the ORD  laboratory
   decision official at the time of the
   award.  In some cases, an article
   reporting   the results   of   the
   research for grant or cooperative
   agreement  projects  in  a  peer
   refereed journal  may be substi-
   tuted  for  a  report.  Selected
   awardees may also be requested to
   present project results at periodic
   seminars conducted by ORD.
62

-------
•  Grants  vs  Cooperative Agree-
   ments.  The  decision to fund  or
   reject a grant proposal is made at
   HQ/EPA; decisions on coopera-
   tive agreements are made at the
   appropriate EPA laboratory.
   Most  cooperative  agreement
   applications   are   developed  in
   consultation with ORD laboratory
   scientists or through solicitations.
   Because  "substantial  involve-
   ment" with the funding agency is
   required  for  cooperative  agree-
   ment arrangements, this type  of
   application should not be submit-
   ted  without  prior consultation
   with an EPA  laboratory.
Grant  Funds Available.   Grant
funds are derived from each deci-
sion unit described  in this Pro-
gram Guide.  Approximately 15%
of the  funds  indicated have been
reserved, according  to  Congres-
sional  mandate,  for  long-term
exploratory research  (also refer to
Anticipatory  Research).   In FY
1981, approximately $27  million,
will be awarded through the com-
petitive grants program, which  is
administered  by the  Office  of
Exploratory  Research. All appli-
cations for research funding assis-
tance will undergo  peer reviews
for  scientific merit,  as  well  as
relevancy review to  ensure con-
formity  with the objectives  of
each decision unit funding source.
                                                                      63

-------
Application  Procedures
The preapplication, application, and
review processes differ substantially
for grants and cooperative  agree-
ments.

Grant Applications

Consideration for the award of a
research grant will be given to fully-
developed proposals submitted along
with a completed Federal Assistance
Application Form No. 5700-12, pro-
vided: (1) the project  is  research
(as  compared with  development,
demonstration, survey, or  prepara-
tion of materials  and documents),
(2) the project is of a  long-range
nature (frequently  more than  two
years), (3) the project is germane to
EPA's mission (which can include
being responsive to this solicitation),
and (4) the grantee is eligible to apply
under the various Federal laws which
authorize  EPA  to award  research
grants.

Fully-developed,  investigator-
initiated,  research  proposals,
prepared in accordance with instruc-
tions, should be sent to:


   Grants Administration Division
   U.S. Environmental Protection
    Agency (PM-216)
   401 M Street, S.W.
   Washington, B.C. 20460


Informal,  incomplete,  or  unsigned
proposals, will not be considered by
the research grants program.  The
original plus eight copies are needed.

Investigators  may use  the  EPA
solicitation  for  Grant  Proposals
(FY  1981) to learn of Agency inter-
ests, and may receive advice from the
Office  of  Research   Grants  and
Centers'   staff  on procedural  or
administrative matters. This solicita-
tion  is designed to provide  potential
applicants  with  a description  of
EPA's grant-supported research and
areas of greatest interest.  It  is not
intended  to  rule  out applications
which  are scientifically meritorious,
but may not be directly responsive to
it. All proposed research  which  is
germane to EPA's mission will be
given full and fair consideration.
Cooperative
Agreement Applications


Pre-application Activity

Although  cooperative  agreement
applications may  be submitted at
any time and on any subject, appli-
cants should  take  the  following
actions prior to submission of a for-
mal application in order  to save time
and  effort both for  the  applicant
and EPA.


1. Review ORD's  current research
   program, as described in Part I,
   to  determine   if   funds  are
   available  in the specific area of
   interest; and


2. Contact the appropriate research
   and development personnel cited
   to ascertain if  an  assistance
   project is planned prior to the
   submission  of an official applica-
   tion.
64

-------
Cooperative Agreements:
Contact relevant  Laboratory Direc-
tor as cited  within each  Decision
Unit.

3. Submission  of a preapplication
   for  cooperative  agreements  is
   encouraged. The preapplication
   should be  sent  directly to  the
   Grants Administration  Division
   (PM-216),  U.S.  Environmental
   Protection Agency,  Washington,
   D.C. 20460, for initial screening
   and routing to  the  appropriate
   ORD program personnel. A pre-
   application should normally con-
   sist  of  a  three- or four-page
   narrative  outlining   the  project
   concept and containing the fol-
   lowing information:

1. Objective—a clear statement of
   the specific objective is necessary.
   If the  objective  is  designed to
   fulfill  a specific project (as iden-
   tified in Step 1 above), the proj-
   ect should  be identified.  If  the
   objective cannot be  associated
   with any specific project,  some
   statement of the presumed  value
   to EPA of attaining the research
   objective should  be made.

2. Project Plan—a brief description
   of the  research/development/
   demonstration concept  and  the
   plan   for  execution   of  the
   proposed  project,  including  a
   projected  time-schedule  for
   accomplishments of intermediate
   outputs or key occurrences indi-
   cating  progress (milestones) and
   the final objective.
 3. Budget—a preliminary estimate
   of  total  cost  which  will  be
   incurred in order to complete the
   project.  Also,  the  share  of the
   costs  which will be provided  by
   the applicant should be indicated.

 4. Staff   and  Facilities—a   brief
   listing of key project staff and
   capabilities and a brief descrip-
   tion of any special facilities  or
   other  factors which would con-
   tribute to the success of the proj-
   ect. A single person who will have
   the responsibility  for planning,
   coordinating, and supervising the
   project should be identified along
   with the fraction of his time to be
   devoted to the project.

 Following review and evaluation of
 the preapplication, the  prospective
 applicant will be advised  whether (a)
 an application should  be submitted
 for formal review, (b) submission of
 a  modified  preapplication is  sug-
 gested, (c) possible submission of the
 preapplication to  another Agency,
 Department, or source of funds is
 suggested, or (d) further pursuit  of
 the particular topic is discouraged.
Formal Applications

All formal  grant and  cooperative
agreement applications are to be sub-
mitted to the Grants Administration
Division, Environmental Protection
Agency,  Washington,  D.C.  20460.
After  formal  "logging  in"  and
acknowledgement,  those  applica-
tions  falling  within the Office of
                                65

-------
Research  and  Development's  pur-
view are referred to  the appropriate
ORD program  office  for program
relevance review. This review quickly
screens  out those applications  for
which EPA has no  authority. For
those proposals in which ORD has
an interest, scientific/technical merit
reviews  are then conducted. Com-
ments may also be obtained from the
Regional Office in  the Region where
the applicant is located and where the
project would be conducted to deter-
mine the relationship of the proposed
project  to Regional programs  and
policies.
