Assistance Listing 66.476

The Environmental Protection Agency Office for Water - Funding Office distributed grants under Assistance Listing 66.476, with the most recent award dated January 1, 2003. This program is no longer active: no awards have been made in over twenty years, and no grant opportunities are currently open.

The program funded vulnerability assessments and related security improvements at large drinking water utilities. All 398 grants awarded under this line were Project Grants, distributed as a single-funder program entirely by the EPA Office for Water. The portfolio spans from October 1997 through January 2003, with the bulk of activity concentrated in 2002—277 of the 398 total awards occurred that year, followed by a sharp drop to 2 awards in 2003. The program obligated $45.2 million in federal dollars across all recipients, with combined federal and non-federal obligations reaching $57.1 million, indicating a non-federal cost-share of $11.9 million.

Recent grant awards centered on drinking water utility security work. Representative awards included Project Grant HS830204010 for $294 thousand, Project Grant HS829926010 for $218 thousand, and Project Grant HS830186010 for $130 thousand, all supporting vulnerability assessments and related security improvements. Most awards fell in the $110 thousand to $120 thousand range, with outliers reaching $294 thousand. Award completion dates extended from 2002 through 2006, indicating multi-year implementation periods for security infrastructure work.

Given the absence of grant activity since 2003, this program should not be pursued.
