The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s 2024 DERA Tribal and Territory NOFO is now open! The NOFO announces the availability of grant funding available to Tribal governments and eligible territories to implement projects aimed at reducing diesel emissions from older diesel engines. Eligible activities include the retrofit or replacement of existing diesel engines, vehicles, and equipment with the EPA and California Air Resources Board (CARB) certified engine configurations and verified retrofit and idle reduction technologies.
Applications will be accepted from federally recognized Tribal governments (or intertribal consortia), Alaska Native Villages, or government agencies of the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, which have jurisdiction over transportation or air quality. The EPA anticipates awarding a total of approximately $9 million under this NOFO: $8 million for Tribes and $1 million for territories.
Application packages must be submitted electronically to the EPA through Grants.gov (www.grants.gov) no later than Friday, December 6, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) to be considered for funding.
Applicants are encouraged to review the Questions and Answers document posted at the DERA Tribal and Territory grants website for further clarification of this NOFO.
