Funding to further the Clean Air Act and projects that abide by its standards.
What does this funding get me?
The $25 million in Clean Air Act grants will supplement annual funding for air pollution control agencies in support of activities under Clean Air Act Section 103.
The funds will support efforts by air pollution control agencies and other organizations to partner with EPA to deliver cleaner air through programs that address air quality, transportation, indoor air, and climate change. Other activities may include planning and preparation for implementing other Inflation Reduction Act provisions.
Am I eligible?
Eligible entities include state, local, and territorial air pollution control agencies. Eligibility will be limited to air agencies currently receiving CAA Section 105 grants.
How can I access the money?
The EPA regional offices should have reached out to eligible entities about how to apply via Grants.gov
What is the timeline?
Grant applications were to be submitted no later than April 17, 2023.
What other incentives could I use to help me accomplish my goals?
