A modification has been made to U.S. EPA's FY2007 Exchange Network Grant Solicitation Notice. Information was inadvertently left out of Section II-1 on page 10. The section now reads as follows: In FY 2007, EPA expects to award approximately 30 to 40 awards for amounts ranging from $75,000 to $500,000. The exact number of awards will depend on the amount of EPA’s appropriation for the grant program, the number of applications submitted to EPA by the application deadline, and the competitive review of the applications received. EPA anticipates most of the awards will be in the $75,000 to $300,000 range, with a limited number of awards up to $500,000, depending on the complexity and breadth of the proposed assistance activities. Applicants are encouraged to develop integrated proposals containing activities from multiple assistance activity groupings. For 2007, EPA will limit individual awards to an agency to no more than $300,000. Collaborative, multi-partner grant project budgets cannot exceed $500,000. EPA will set aside approximately ten percent of the appropriated funds for tribal assistance agreements, but the number and total amount of tribal assistance agreements may be greater, depending on the merit of tribal applications submitted and on the competitive review of those applications. EPA expects to issue the FY 2007 Exchange Network Grant Program awards in June 2007, and the standard period of performance for each project will be two years. EPA reserves the right to partially fund proposals/applications by funding discrete activities, portions, or phases of proposed projects. If EPA decides to partially fund a proposal/application, it will do so in a manner that does not prejudice any applicants or affect the basis upon which the proposal/application, or portion thereof, was evaluated and selected for award, and that maintains the integrity of the competition and selection process. EPA also reserves the right to reject all proposals and make no awards. All other sections of the notice, including the deadline of November 20, 2006, remain unchanged.
