Section 6: Operation of Grant-Funded Equipment ____ Check here if unit of measurement and percent of annual operation is the same for all activities, and enter only under Activity 001.

For on-vehicle/equipment electrification projects, at least 55% of the grant-funded vehicle or equipment annual operation must occur in one or more of the nonattainment areas and affected counties for the duration of the five-year activity life. A single unit of measurement (miles or fuel for on-road, hours for non-road) must be used for determining the total annual operation. If awarded a grant, the grantee will use this unit of measurement to report annual operation for the duration of the five-year activity life. Only one primary area may be included per application.

Identify the areas where the grant-funded vehicle or equipment will operate and provide the percent of annual operation in the space provided. At least 55% of the annual operation of each grant-funded vehicle or equipment must occur in the eligible counties. To avoid overstating the total annual operation in the eligible counties, applicants must take into account any operation of the grant-funded vehicle or equipment in ineligible counties. At the time of application, applicants may elect to increase this commitment to 80% of their annual operation to receive additional grant funds. Refer to Section 2.11 of the RFGA for operation requirements. Refer to Appendix A of the RFGA to see a map of the eligible areas and counties.
