Enhancement Grants for State Asbestos Programs

The Environmental Protection Agency Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention — Funding Office administers the Enhancement Grants for State Asbestos Programs (CFDA 66.706), which has not awarded grants since October 2002, more than 24 years ago.

This program funded state-level asbestos compliance monitoring and asbestos program administration through Project Grants exclusively. Recent awards supported toxic substances compliance monitoring programs and asbestos program operational activities. The portfolio shows five total awards spanning 1998 to 2002, with activity concentrated in 2000 (two awards) and single awards in 1998, 2001, and 2002.

The Environmental Protection Agency Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention — Funding Office was the sole funding agency across all five awards. Combined federal dollars obligated totaled $3 thousand, though the individual award records contain adjustments and recoveries that resulted in net negative obligations for three of the five projects. The two positive awards — a $27,433 grant in October 2002 for toxic substances compliance monitoring and a $79,951 grant in January 2001 for an asbestos program — represent the program's typical award magnitude when active.

No grant opportunities are currently posted for this Assistance Listing. The lack of award activity since 2002 indicates the program is inactive. Pursuit of funding under this line is not viable at this time.
