FY2026-COFA3-FSM-infra-PUC water storage tanks rehabilitation

The Department of the Interior Insular Affairs awarded the Government of the Federated States of Micronesia $3,042,748 on February 1, 2026, under the Compacts of Free Association program (CFDA 15.081) to rehabilitate public utility water storage tanks across FSM's constituent states.

FSM, operating as a freely associated state under the Compact of Free Association, receives this assistance through its Division of Investment & International Finance. The award funds infrastructure rehabilitation work with a period of performance extending through December 31, 2027. Place of performance is the United States, as designated in the award documentation.

The Compacts of Free Association provide direct grants to FSM, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau to advance economic self-sufficiency across seven sectors including education, health care, infrastructure, public sector capacity building, private sector development, environment, and enhanced reporting and accountability. Funding is determined annually by voting members of JEMCO/JEMFAC. Audits and financial oversight are governed by the Compacts themselves (Public Law 118-42) and related subsidiary agreements, with inspections and audits conducted by Interior's Office of the Inspector General or other authorized federal representatives. Only parts of 2 CFR 200 not superseded by the Compacts apply.
