The deadline to submit FY 2014 Exchange Network grants applications is November 15, 2013. The Solicitation Notice is available at http://www.epa.gov/exchangenetwork/grants/.

EPA has posted the October 2013 update on grantees with excessive ULOs to http://www.epa.gov/exchangenetwork/grants/. In FY 2014, applications submitted by the grant recipient with excessive ULOs will automatically lose 10 points unless the delay in project schedule is on the part of EPA. For more information on excessive ULOs, please see page 24 of the FY 2014 Solicitation Notice. The final determination of whether previously awarded Exchange Network grants meet the excessive ULO threshold will be made from the following quarter’s report, which EPA will make available during January 2014.
