Description
This
notice announces the availability of funds and solicits applications from eligible
entities for Environmental Finance Centers (EFCs) that provide multi-media
environmental finance expertise and outreach to the regulated communities
(e.g., states, tribes, local governments, and the private sector) to help them
meet environmental requirements. The objective is to help the states, tribes,
local governments, and private entities find effective and innovative ways to
help address the growing costs of protecting public health and the environment
in a sustainable manner. Under this program, EFC’s will be established across
the nation to provide regulated parties with finance-related training,
technical assistance, finance studies, and other analytical support (eligible
services) to help them develop solutions to the critical "how-to-pay"
issues associated with meeting environmental goals. The EFCs will educate
regulated parties on lowering costs, increasing investments, improving
financial capacity, encouraging full cost pricing, and identifying and
evaluating financing options.
