EPA's National Clean Diesel Campaign (NCDC) has posted its Diesel Emission Reduction Act (DERA) National Program's Request for Proposals (RFP) . EPA’s National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program Tribal Competition is soliciting proposals from eligible tribes nationwide for projects that achieve significant reductions in tons of pollution and diesel emissions exposure. The RFP is located at: http://www.epa.gov/air/grants_funding.html#trans

This RFP includes a tribal competition, where proposals from eligible tribal agencies or intertribal consortia proposals will compete only among other eligible tribal proposals for grant funding. Tribal grant proposals may range between $30,000 and $1,000,000. Tribal grant proposals do not have to address the Regional Significance factors and will not be evaluated based on them.

The following website provides additional information resources, including the application fleet description spreadsheet and Word template, and links to the RFP. http://www.epa.gov/otaq/diesel/prgnational.htm

Please feel free to forward this invitation to any interested party.

Best regards,
